    Hi Eric, The radio uses UDP for discovery and for audio/video (Vita-49 protocol). All else goes via the TCP/IP API.

    Take a look at the API documents to get an idea of how it works.

    https://github.com/flexradio/smartsdr-api-docs

    There is also a C# FlexLib that you can use to access the API from a Windows DotNet environment. I recommend this if you are programming for Windows.

    Node Red is also available. Dave, WO2X and Alan, WA9WUD have built some sophisticated flows for Node Red that you might be able to capitalize on. Sorry, I don't have a working link for Node Red at the moment, but someone here can point you in the right direction if you ask.

    They are defined here in the wsjt-x source code and there are examples also on sourceforge.

    NetworkMessage.txt

    I couldn't paste the link. But just put https at the beginning should get you there.

    sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/wsjtx/ci/master/tree/UDPExamples/

    Good Luck

    Ok thanks I found that the payload in the UDP message is ADIF format. It threw me as it looks a bit like JSON but isn’t. Fortunately CloudLog expects ADIF wrapped in a JSON envelope.
