Reviewed by • Digital Modes & Software Editor March 2026

JT65 is a digital mode used in amateur radio for weak signal communication, particularly effective in HF bands. It allows operators to exchange information under challenging conditions, utilizing time-synchronized transmissions. The software decodes signals that are often below the noise floor, making it invaluable for EME (moonbounce) and other weak signal applications. Various implementations, such as JT65-HF and WSJT-X, provide users with tools for both transmission and reception, enhancing operational capabilities in digital modes.

Key software options include JT65-HF by W6CQZ, which focuses on JT65A protocol, and WSJT-X, which supports multiple modes including JT65, FT8, and more. Other notable tools are MultiPSK and SimJT, each offering unique features for signal processing and simulation.
