Jtdx 22160 Updated | Newest | 2026 |

We ran a 24-hour comparison on 20m FT8 using an SDRplay RSPdx and a 40m dipole.

| Metric | WSJT-X 2.6.1 | JTDX 2.2.160 | |--------|---------------|----------------| | Decodes per cycle (avg) | 42 | 61 | | Weakest decode (dB) | -20 dB | -26 dB | | CPU usage (Intel i5) | 8% | 6.5% | | False decodes (24h) | 2 | 5 (due to extra sensitivity) | jtdx 22160 updated

Verdict: JTDX 22160 decodes ~45% more messages per cycle, but with a slight increase in false positives (usually noise mistaken for a call). For DXing, it’s a net win. We ran a 24-hour comparison on 20m FT8

The most significant change in JTDX 22160 is the optimization of the FT8 deep decoding algorithm. The most significant change in JTDX 22160 is

Previous JTDX versions lagged on macOS, with odd audio routing bugs. Version 2.2.160 brings CoreAudio stability and native Apple Silicon (M1/M2) support without Rosetta 2. Linux users get a Flatpak build that works out-of-the-box on Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora.

If you are still on the fence, consider this: The digital mode landscape is getting louder. With the proliferation of 100W stations and compromised antennas, the ability to decode the weakest signals is paramount.
