Hello Paul,
sending text messages (SMS) to a mobile number is possible, but it there will
be a cost per message.
Sending e-mails is also possible, but this will invoke your default e-mail app.
In most cases the messages will be stored in the outbox until you press "send".
I still believe that the most versatile solution is a platform independent app
that is "listening" on a given port for UDP broadcast.
That way all received JT9 messages can be displayed (so you can check what is
going on whenever you want) and you can select for what JT9 messages (new
stations, new DXCC, new state, ...) a sound alert is triggered.
It took me just a few hours to write a small app that just displays the UDP
broadcasts in Java.
It was the first time ever I programmed something in Java. So I am still hoping
for some help, but otherwise I will try to figure it out myself (it will take
more time).
73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T

Onderwerp: Re: [rsgb-lf-group] Audio alert for JT-9 activity?
Hello Rik,
Perhaps the simplest way is to send a text message to a user
specified mobile phone number. At least for most mobile phone
carriers in the U.S. this message can be sent using email protocol.
The message text could simply be the decoded line from SlowJT9. It
would be up to the user to set his preferred notification on the
smart phone.
But how to send the text message (email) from SlowJT9? I don't know.
In linux I think there are command line email tools which could be
passed the message and destination address, but I am not aware of
the equivalent for Windows.
73,
Paul N1BUG
