Desktop App: Optional WSJT X usage to automate calibration band changes on the meter

Mike edited this page Dec 14, 2020 · 1 revision

The Remote Meter app optionally leverages WSJT-X UDP status message broadcasts to read the radio dial frequency and automatically command the meter to load the appropriate calibration values (10 bands supported).

Using the awesome py-wsjtx Python library to decode WSJT-X packets and is found at https://github.com/bmo/py-wsjtx.

I tend to run WSJT-X 24/7 to keep and eye on 6M and to provide spots on various HF bands. I use JTAlert also which will rebroadcast WSJT-X UDP network messages. WSJTX can work on a broadcast IP address and the newest versions made some changes to this area to make it easier to use maybe.
