Setup your software for FT8OFF
This setup guide is not an install manual for your FT8 software. These instructions are for sending your logged QSOs to the FT8OFF Scoreboard. In order to properly send your logged QSOs to the scoreboard, software settings need to be updated.
If you are operating at a POTA or SOTA this needs to be in the "comments" of the Log QSO form
Watch the setup video here. Jump to your software WSJT-X or JTDX.WSJT-X Setup
WSJT-X is the preferred software for use with the FT8OFF.
Open Settings
Select Reporting Tab
Click "OK" to commit the settings
Make an FT8 contact and log the QSO
Check on the "Packet Check" page to see if your QSO was sent in
If your QSO does not appear in either last 10 list, double check the settings page. If your settings are correct, and if after 3 successful FT8 QSOs you are sill not appearing on the last 10 list, post in the ft8off room on the TOADs discord requesting further assistance.
JTDX Setup
Using JTDX for the FT8OFF requires the use of a local listener program. This program runs on Windows 10 64 bit only. The program is available at this link. After downloading the .zip file, extract the contents and you can now run jtdx-monitor.exe. This program must be started and left running for JTDX to send your QSOs to the scoreboard.
Open Settings
Select Reporting Tab
In the Send logged QSO ADIF data area:
Set the 2nd UDP server to 127.0.0.1
Make sure the UDP port is set to 2239
