UDP would be very useful if it is possible to implement, as then we could use any alerting method with a simple piece of code as I do for WSJT-X

Hello Rik, all...
The alert feature would be useful to me.
Ideal alert level to me would be new station *or* DX station (based
on distance). But if I have to pick on, then new station.
Alert via a pin on a serial port seems best, as long as it has the
possibility to work with some of the better USB to serial
converters. I have three sound cards, it's still not enough, they
are all busy. :)
