Mike,
They were running 1.7.0-devel r6466 under Win10. I don't know the source
of their WSJT-X build, there was a bit of a language barrier, English
not being their native tongue, and never got the answer to the question.
There was no specific DDE failure message, but the JTAlertDDE tests
failed for all the DXLab components accessed by DDE. The user also
reported that 2 other bridges they run, MixW to DXKeeper as Fldigi to
DXKeeper also failed (I believe they use DDE as well).
I suggested they try 1.6.0 rather than a dev build after theri most
recent System Restore. Resulting in DDE working correctly when UDP was
enabled. It was something within the 1.7.0 code, if not breaking DDE,
perhaps disabling it at the OS level (I never got around to researching
that possibility)
Regarding JTAlert always opening UDP, that is not the case. JTAlert will
only start looking for UDP packets from WSJT-X if the WSJT-X config has
the necessary settings enabled. JTAlert cannot bind to the UDP broadcast
port, only an individual port (limitation of the Compiler) so reads the
Config first to get the IP and Port and to see if the "Accept UDP
Requests" is enabled.

What is the DDE failure message and when does it occur?
Sounds a lot like a 1-off error to me caused by something
else....perhaps enabling a UDP server is causing it. I wouldn't think
a UDP client would (since JTAlert always opens the UDP client, right?)
