    articulate, concise, nicely outlined, stays on topic, excellent visuals, without a bunch of silly arm and hand gestures. I'm recommending this JS8 vid to the local hams.

    Thanks Jason, the light is finally coming on and I’m starting to understand this thanks to your video. Keep up the good work.

    Great video. I gave up on JS8call because I wasn't seeing much activity, but now I can see the power it has. Now that I have a half decent antenna up, I'm going to give it another shot.

    Very clear and polished, thanks for the excellent video. The amount of effort you've put into the editing and setup shows through. Thank you very much. Mark. M0NOM

    Was curious, I have the latest JS8Call installed but I cannot see 2m in my drop down list, how did you get the 2m freq to show up there?

    I'm very new to digi modes, and have spent all day working on js8call. When I tx or rx, it doesnt show up yellow, so not sure what to change on my FT-857D, also on the bottom, where is shows your last tx, my color is grey and yours is blue? Did you set it to show blue, and if you did, is it in ui, and which one did you change?

    Great video Jason. After watching your video this morning I installed version 2.2.0 on Win10 but don't have the "AUTO" button. Is it only available on the Mac version? Had my first js8call QSO earlier today.

    Enjoying and learning from your back catalog. Is there a video that describes how logging is done? Does JS8CALL store a cache that can be exported in adif to the logger of your choice? I am really interested in HAMRS, and have not been successful in even installing other suggested Linux logging programs.

    I noticed you were using a Yaesu FT-857. What radio settings work best with JS8Call? Thanks!
