Yes, that's a better/more comprehensive solution.  More work, too.  I'll look forward to it.

Check you email. A new JTAlert build has been sent for you to test.

I am using WSJT with 100 watts and a wire antenna from Minnesota, USA.  I often leave the radio on with your app kindly flagging DX for me while I work on other things; I am very near DXCC, thanks to you.

But often I have situations where I can hear a station but repeated calls to the station tell me that he cannot hear me.  I use the "ignore" to suppress announcements of these stations.  Each session, then, I manually clear the ignored stations and start with a blank list.  I have no idea whether this is a common use of the function or not.

So ... :-) now comes the feature request:  A check box saying "Clear Ignore List on Startup."

Thanks for considering this.

IMO, a better option than clearing the Ignored List at startup is to have an additional temporary (session only) ignored list. This way you can maintain a list of permanently ignored callsigns while have the flexibility of ignoring a callsign for your current JTAlert session.

This temporary ignored list will be available with the next public release of JTAlert.

Hello, Laurie.  Thank you for a very well thought out and well implemented tool.  I looked for a place to make a financial contribution but found nothing?  Is there a place?

If both computers are on the same network then you can run GT on a second PC.
That's what I'm doing here because my laptop only has one HDMI output and I like
a third screen for GT.

Ray thank you for posting that. I was having the same problem and changing to 239.255.0.0 from 127.0.0.1 fixed it.

I run it all on same PC  have a really cheap 2nd monitor - usually logged into KST but when playing with GT use that.

Why not just add another monitor? Many of us here have three or

maybe the cheap pc being used doesn't have another video
output ... or the cpu power to run it ...

ThatTMs it - all will just work.

will it work if GridTracker is on a different PC
on the same local network? No room on my FT8
pc screen to add GT !

This issue with Chrome Remote Desktop has been resolved.
The fix will be in the next JTAlert public release (2.16.14)

If so, can you provide the necessary configuration settings to JTA and GridTracker?

For what it's worth, this is the first time I am trying out GridTracker. I love JTA, but want to see if running both programs brings me any more joy.

Not too long ago someone in this group suggested a freeware system resource monitor that included a tray icon to track program memory usage.
I lost that program and cannot remember its name.  Can anyone refresh my memory?
