Cool - thank you! :)

Look on Github for pyWSJTX . It handles all the WSJTX decoding for you. It is what i used. Simple. Further I used it in one thread of multi threaded python program. Other threads handle GUI and serial port. Running the network and serial in a single thread did not perform well.
Further i stop and start these com threads for events like usb serial disconnect. Allows for graceful resumption when the user fixes the problem
My source is also on Github and includes the pyWSJTX

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] ERE: Feature RequestHi Mike,
applications that interoperate with WSJT-X using the UDP protocol are supposed to support listening on a UDP multicast group address, this allows multiple applications to listen on the same port and each have all messages delivered to them. Unfortunately several applications have not included multicast support, either because they use tools that don't easily support it, or they didn't see the need.

HI Mike (and everybody else),
I was fascinated by your idea of using the UDP status messages, but wanted to put together a POC and get past the initial teething pains before making more noise. Today the lawnmower broke, providing me such an opportunity... :)
As of now, I have a simple Python script (Borrowed heavily from an internet tutorial on UDP. It connects to wsjtx 2.2.2, and outputs blocks of data as exppected. From the ascii portions, I recognize this as part of the block described in the communication protocol, so in theory, I should be able to parse this apart and get what I need.
I did, however, hit a snag. I also use CQRLOG for automatic logging. Apparently CQRLOG also uses this integration, because I get an address in use error if Imy script tries to connect while CQRLOG is running. (it works fine otherwise, as outlined above.)
Fine points of networking aren't really my thing, but I like to learn stuff. That said, before I go down a potentially bad path, at the block diagram "architectural" level, is it possible for 2 clients to share a UDP port, or is the desire to also have CQRLOG running a deal breaker?
(I tried the secondary port (2233), but that appears to be only logged data, not the treasure trove that is on port 2237.)
Thanks for any guidance!

I use a Python program to monitor the WSJT-X UDP status message broadcasts. It has radio dial frequency and more. I use the frequency to load the correct calibration data for my remote VHF+ wattmeter. It in turn can be used to drive other things.
The wattmeter is a Arduino or PSoC5 device attached to a rf log detector and standard dual directional coupler.
It would seem the UDP status message has all you would need?

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Feature RequestThank you Bill (And Bill) - that worked great and does exactly what I was looking for! (In fact, I can feed it to Python's simple webserver and watch for DX from anywhere... :)
I'm also going to try WB6DJI (Mike's) suggestion of JTDX.
I would really love it if the user_hardware request saw the light of day at some point. I currently have 2 Raspberry PI / SDR combos which band hop on wspr all day, but if I could get some extra data passed in around the wsjt-x operating mode, and the frequency, I could do a lot in terms of integrating the FT-8 setup into the rest of my shack so it can drive my network aware antenna switches etc.
