The most significant change in is the optimization of the FT8 deep decoding algorithm.
JTDX 2.2.160 brings a more intuitive GUI, particularly influenced by the wsjt-x_improved layout. jtdx 22160 updated
As of early 2026, the software remains in an active but staggered release cycle: The most significant change in is the optimization
| Feature | JTDX 2.2.160 (Current) | WSJT-X 3.0.0-rc1 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Very High (Aggressive filtering). | Equalized (Multi-threaded decoding ported from JTDX). | | Multi-Threading | Native support (Default "Auto" setting). | Adopted natively in v3.0. | | User Interface (UI) | Intuitive "unregulated" layout; clear display of logged contact counts. | "Clunky" compared by many users; requires more clicks to see data. | | Automation | Highly automated (Auto-Sequence, "Unsupervised mode"). | Conservative (Requires more manual operator input). | | Compound Callsigns | Can have issues resolving them (e.g., Z-series prefixes) without patches. | Generally resolves them well. | | Equalized (Multi-threaded decoding ported from JTDX)
While the developers often keep the changelog brief, this build primarily addresses stability issues and further refines the decoder performance. Users on previous builds are strongly recommended to update to ensure compatibility with the current band activity and network sync.
