Nexus puts the whole ham station in one modern app: FT8/FT4 with WSJT-X-grade sequencing plus Q65, FST4, FST4W, MSK144, JT65 and WSPR all transmitting, RTTY, SSTV, APRS, SSB/FM phone, and CW with a neural-net decoder.
The rig's own RF panadapter streams into the cockpit on native-CI-V Icom and FlexRadio. The waterfall pauses and rewinds. Route each band and mode to the radio that does it best, across up to three rigs. Awards (DXCC, WAS, WAZ, VUCC, IOTA) compute offline, and an eQSL or QRZ match never inflates an LoTW-grade award. Propagation uses a native ITU-R P.533 port and scores openings on receivers near you, not the global firehose.
APRS draws real station symbols, decodes weather reports, connects to APRS-IS, and runs a receive-only iGate. Speaks WSJT-X's UDP protocol byte-for-byte, so GridTracker and JTAlert keep working.
Its FT8/FT4 decode floor measures -21.3 dB against stock WSJT-X's -20.7 on identical audio.

5 out of 5 starsNew owner of FTX-1 Optima. Software works great for SSB, FM. Still working on getting it to work with N3FJP logging without being in a field day mode but I still think it is operator error. Was surprised with its ease of use with SSTV. This is first impression but still great job. Unable to connect with n3fjp but using QRZ and LOTW and incorporate by syncing with them to n3fjp I keep them together. Looking forward to new updates to incorporate more of my FTX-1 abilities like CAT signal meter, signal controls like DNR, Notch, Contour. Latest updates I have connected to all my online services LOTW, N3FJP, WRL, QRZ. It is working great. It is getting better with each update.

5 out of 5 starsi love the software, been trying to use msk144, i take it it is now working correctly yet. tx good, can be decoaded from other software but not from nexus. look forward to any updates. Alex de mm0abm
