Hello,

I'm looking for a way to be able to use an external program to tell if WSJT is in HOUND mode?  Is there some documentation covering this anyplace?  I want to read the state, (in, or out, of HOUND mode), of the program at any arbitrary time.  Is there some file I can read that contains this information in realtime?  I see a lot of references to HOUND in the ini file, but do not know if anything changes there, or of there is an accepted location to look for state information.

You have to capture the network messages via whatever software you want to write.
