New: WSJT-X UDP packets from the console!

If you use GridTracker or a similar program to track needed contacts on FT8, you probably also run WSJT-X to get the FT8 decodes into the application via UDP.

With today’s console update, you can ditch WSJT-X! Using the RHR desktop app (restart it if it’s already installed), simply connect to a site, and FT8 decodes will begin flowing. Neither CAT, nor DAX, nor WSJT-X is required.

The packets will identify as being from “RHR” instead of “WSJT-X”. If necessary, you can change the destination host and port in the Devices window, found at the bottom of the sidebar.
