sorry about it getting complicated. It is a worthy goal to get this working in a robust way and I will code up something to call a user defined executable in the rig control thread - I don't think that will be too tricky. Yes you can use the UDP messages to detect band changes. The hurdle to cross is unpacking the messages, once that is done you have generic code that can be used to process any of the UDP messages. I would think that PyQt is your best bet (but see below) since you should have the QUdpSocket and QDataStream classes available for the UDP server and message unpacking available. Another approach could be to strip down the message_aggregator reference application which is written in C++. You could take out all the GUI stuff and use it to make a small daemon program. The bonus there is that the MessageServer class which receives and unpacks the messages is already in place and will get updated as new message get added to the protocol. If you want to go this way, I am happy to do the initial stripped down program that you could extend for your needs. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
