Hi Mike,
the final part of your point above makes it hard to justify such a
change. The WSJT-X UDP protocol was never intended to be a remote
control interface to WSJT-X and if it is changed such that WSJT-X can
remain minimized for all or part of a QSO then I think that is beyond
the scope of the intended use. That combined with many thousands of QSOs
having been initiated using the UDP Reply message by JTAlert and other
software users yet yours is the first request for a Tx offset setting
facility. There is also another objection in that operators must be
aware of users of other modes that might suffer QRM from a poor choice
of Tx offset, an external application does not see or analyse the
waterfall display other than by the information provided in decoded
messages. There is no substitute for having an eye on the waterfall
display to avoid any deliberate QRM to other users.
