outbound udp format

Post by AB7R »

I am trying to get my wireless antenna switch/swr power meter to connect via UDP with L4OM.

I wrote the author and he said this:

Unfortunately there is no outbound UDP message containing current radio frequency information sent from this logger.
Log4OM needed to implement RadioInfo UDP packet like N1MM / DXLabs and others.
Detailed info here: External UDP Messages – N1MM Logger Plus
It need to have at least the frequency fields:
<Freq>352211</Freq>
<TXFreq>352211</TXFreq>
This packet is sent immediately after more than 1KHz frequency change OR every 10 sec if nothing changes.

Contact the developers and ask them to implement this already standard UDP packet.
More and more devices will depend on having this type of information available on the network.

Can we get this implemented? Doesn't sound too difficult but Im not a coder. The existing outbound format choices do not work for this. The switch is by http://af6sa.com/projects/was6.html

Tnx
Greg

REMOTE functions work for this purpose. Thanks!
A couple questions that are not in the manual (that I can find)...

1. I checked Enable remote and output through UDP and entered the port. Then I selected send to specific IP. This worked fine. What does BROADCAST do? I thought it would send the info to any device connected to that port. But checking Broadcast vice specific IP would not work.

2. What is the send 5 seconds status messages? Is it what is on pg. 192?

Thanks
Greg
