I agree on FLDigi being the best among the free ones. I don't know DM78.

At least I don't know of any other program that can decode JT65 than the
original JT itself. Mind you, JT 65 or any of the JTxx programs are very
special programs for digging out extremely weak signals from background
noise.

The JT programs are mostly used to work EME (moon bounce) and MS
(meteor scatter) contacts and they convey no other information than the
callsigns, signal report and locator.

Have a nice day,

Holger
