Re: LF: Audio alert for JT-9 activity?

[Andy Talbot <andy.g4jnt@gmail.com>]

The trouble with that is that the sound card output is used for audio drive to the transmitter, so unless you play your Tx audio also through the speakers or use different sound cards, you'll run into complications.

One way, without actually doing anything to the WSJT-X software  would be to intercept the UDP messages broadcast by WSJT-X and, using a another prog running on teh sam emachine, read these messages and parse them for a JT9 decode.   Then do whatever you need to do for an audio alert.  Sound card issues are the same, but a piezo bleeper on a spare COM port would do the trick.    JT9-SLow software doesn't broadcast UDP messages, but that's more amenable to the author implementing the facility - perhaps ?

Hi all,

I  just  sent  this  message to the WSJT-X forum, would anyone support
this  request? If so please respond there. If Slow JT-9 could add this
I would find it a very useful addition :)

I work mainly on LF 136kHz and although even trans Atlantic QSO's
occur from here in the UK activity is very limited and spasmodic. When
I check for activity I have often missed the chance to respond. A
selectable audio alert of activity would be a Godsend, would there be
any interest in supporting such an addition? Thanks 2E0ILY
