Need for alternate frequencies if QRM is experienced.Д) Coordination with the changing spectrum utilization of the amateur community.Д®) The high popularity of a new mode-du-jour may create a temporary need to find a new or alternate calling frequency.ДЇ) There are many competing modes in the weak signal part of the digital bands.Дў004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 ,2009, 2010, 2011 HFpack Inc. Time-sharing modes such as PACKET, PACTOR, ALE, PSKmail, and APRS.ДЄ) Amateur radio band rules are different in some countries. The long tone carrier duration of JT65 transmissions has potential to cause severe interference to otherД«ecause JT65A is NOT COMPATIBLE with MFSK, FSK, HELL, OLIVIA,Д¬ONTESTIA, ALE400, or RTTY and can cause severe interference to fast JT65A should notД«e used in parts of the ham bands where faster digital modes are in use.Д¤. Normal activity of JT65A is in the 'weak signal' part of the hamД«ands, near the PSK, MFSK, and Olivia 500 frequencies. Maximum for normal activity and DXing in the 40metre to 10metre bands.ДЈ. To avoid QRM to other JT65 signals and other modes. Operators should be careful of frequency selection, accurate clock, and calibration.ДЄlways listen and observe the waterfall spectrum of signals on theДЇrequency before transmitting, and during activity.Дў. Special Notes on Good Operating Procedure:ДЎ. JT65A/JT65/JT65-HF mode is normally used on HF, MF, LF and 6 meter bands. The system allows approximately +/-600Hz auto-tuning on receive. The lowest tone of the JT65 signal is normally 1270Hz.JT65A signal bandwidth extends about 200Hz above 1270.5Hz sync. Sync tone is the reference mouse-click frequency for JT65.Normal operation of JT65A is a sync audio frequency of 1270.5Hz.

JT65A may be used in the 500Hz bandwidth segments of bandplans.

JT65A signal is about 1.3+kHz higher than the VFO frequency JT65A operators use USB VFO FREQUENCY for spots.

Old JT65A frequency was 24920 kHz (changed to avoid QRM ) The JT65A frequency 12metres is 24917.0 kHz USB VFO. The JT65A alternate frequency 17meters is 18098.0 kHz USB VFO. The JT65A signal frequency is about 18103.3 to 18103.7 kHz. The JT65A frequency 17metres is 18102.0 kHz USB VFO. The JT65A signal frequency is about 7077.3 to 7077.7 kHz. The JT65A sync frequency (USA) is 7077.27 kHz The JT65A frequency 40meters (USA) is 7076.0 kHz USB VFO. The JT65A signal frequency is about 7040.3 to 7040.7 kHz. The International JT65A sync frequency is 7040.27 kHz International JT65A frequency 40metres is 7039.0 kHz USB VFO. *Special Note: Do not transmit within 10139.9-10140.1 kHz QRSS CW weak signal window! This transmit signal is within the 10140-10150kHz automatic digital sub-band. The JT65 signal frequency is about 10140.3 to 10140.7 kHz. *Do not use a sync frequency less than 10140.2 kHz. The JT65a sync frequency is 10140.27 kHz. The JT65A frequency 30metres is 10139.0 kHz USB VFO. The JT65 signal frequency is about 14077.3 to 14077.7 kHz. The JT65a sync frequency is 14077.27 kHz. The JT65 frequency 20metres is 14076.0 kHz USB VFO. Currently my operating is all from home and mainly modes not requiring me to talk, although I have ventured onto our Monday night FM net and the odd 2m and 70cm contest.The most popular JT65A frequency is in the 20 Meter band: I am waiting for better health to be able to use these again. Also out of sight are a 136kHz beacon, the 2m Fredbox, the 6m Sixbox, the VLF 8-9kHz beacon, and optical rigs. Not shown (on shelf above) is the 472kHz homebrew transverter, the 15m MFJ Cub and the Mizuho 200mW 2m SSB rig. With this, I can get onto 5MHz and some other bands.Д«est DX (on WSPR) is Australia at 1W out on 40, 20 and 10m and Israel on 6m WSPR (1W ERP). Sometimes I use the Z817 ATU, which I find very good. For all digital modes I use the FT817 on DIG setting via the rear connector. I use a SignaLink USB audio interface to the PC. The lower rig is set at 2.5W, but the cable run to the V2000 vertical is lossy on 6m. The top FT817ND is used mainly for 2m and 70cms (local FM net, SSB and CW, beacon hunting) and the lower FT817 for WSPR, JT65 and JT9-1 mainly on 6m and 10m. This is a photo of the kit currently used.
