Re: [wsjt-devel] Request: WSJT-X UDP protocol extension to identify decodes to will accept UDP reply command.

[Laurie V. <vk3...@gm...>]

FYI

Since the only reliable (?) method for identifying WSJT-X decodes that 
will accept the UDP Reply Command is the "Try it and wait to see if 
WSJT-X responds" technique. I will be changing JTAlert behaviour with 
respect to the UDP Reply command, AKA double-click a CQing Callsign.

 From the next JTAlert release, only standard format CQ decodes, "CQ 
Callsign Grid" will be highlighted in JTAlert as double-clickable. All 
other CQ style decodes will no longer accept the double-click or be 
highlighted (green rectangle drawn around the callsign) as accepting a 
double-click.
