Locked Strange Port Issue - WSJT-X / Gridtracker #TechnicalHelpQuestion #FT8

Serge VA3SB
Hello to the group. FYI I have also posted this message on the Gridtracker group as I am not sure where the issue may be.
I am presently using Gridtracker Version 1.22.1123, WSJT version 2.5.4 and JTAlert version 2.60.2. The software all works fine. However, when I shut down the software and restart it, In order to get Gridtracker and WSJT to communicate, I am required to change the Port assignment. My setting in the WSJT Reporting tab are: UDP Server - 224.0.0.1 UDP Server port number - 2246 Outgoing interfaces - loopback_0 Multicast TTL - 1 My settings in Gridtracker General tab are: Multicast - Enabled IP - 224.0.0.1 Port - 2246 Forward UDP Messages NOT Enabled When I restart the software, I have to go into both WSJT and Gridtracker and change the existing port - I usually alternate between 2246 and 2247.When I change the port the two pieces of software begin to communicate again. Not quite sure why I have to do this and any guidance / assistance to correct this issue would be greatly appreciated. 73 Serge VA3SB |

Make sure you pick all the network inferfaces in the WSJT-X Outgoing interfaces pulldown.I've seen problem particularly when there's a wireless interface too.

Hi Dave. Thank you for your prompt response.
I usually start Gridtracker first followed by WSJT-X and JT Alert. I will change the order with WSJT-X followed by Gridtracker and JTAlert and see if that makes a difference. Thank you for the suggestion. Serge VA3SB |

Hi Dave. Well you were correct.
It seems if I start WSJT-X followed by JTAlert and then by Gridtracker I do not encounter the port issue. Such a simple solution. Many thanks. 73 Serge VA3SB |
