DecoAlert FT8 FT4 Companion for Decodium and WSJT-X
A Windows companion application for FT8, FT4, and FT2 digital modes.
Description
DecoAlert 1.0 Beta is a companion application designed to enhance the digital mode operating experience, specifically for FT8, FT4, and FT2. It operates by monitoring UDP data streams from primary decoding software like Decodium and WSJT-X on port 2237. The software provides real-time, priority-based audio alerts using WAV sounds for various conditions, including All Time New Ones (ATNO), new DXCC entities per band/mode, user-defined watchlist callsigns, new Maidenhead grid squares, and LoTW-active stations. It also highlights previously worked stations (B4) and integrates live DX spots from Telnet clusters, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for serious digital mode operators.
The application features a built-in SQLite database for tracking worked stations and integrates with LoTW user lists to identify confirmed contacts. A DX Cluster client supports multiple Telnet servers, providing a broad view of propagation. PSKReporter statistics are available by band and mode, offering insights into signal paths. The QSO log viewer includes search and filter capabilities, while an OpenStreetMap (OSM) interface visualizes spot locations, aiding in situational awareness. DecoAlert requires Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and compatible digital mode software configured to send UDP data.
