Bill,

I read your lengthy and detailed replies. Thanks for that.

This is hardly practicable. If a user gets into the habit of 
double-clicking a Callsign in JTAlert and the decode is shown within 
WSJT-X as green for a CQ decode, they should expect that WSJT-X should 
respond if they double-click in JTAlert.

To prevent the user from double-clicking a CQ Callsign in JTAlert to 
which WSJT-X will not respond, I will need to provide an alternate means 
of identifying those eligible Callsign to the end user.

What is needed is a way for JTAlert to definitively know that the CQ 
decode in WSJT-X will respond to the UDP reply command.

My proposal, that avoids doing regex checks or exception testing against 
decode string formats, is to have the UDP protocol extended to include a 
simple boolean flag in the decode packet to indicate that this decode 
will respond to a UDP "reply" command. This would seem the easiest 
implementation and is future proof if WSJT-X changes its handling of 
free-form CQs and CQ coloring.
