Hi Folks, when we were on the boat on the way to Mellish Reef we operated
/MM. Adding the appropriate grid square was just something we had to
remember to do, and didn't require checking too often as we were only
proceeding at 8 kt.
In a vehicle, grid might need to be updated more frequenty, like those that
used wsjt-x in the January VHF contest as rovers.
I've been experimenting with adding support for a new NetworkMessage type
ChangeLocation that accepts grid square from the UDP packet, runs it
through the usual checks the same as manually typing into the configuration
dialog, and sets the messages appropriately.
I also have a small program that also provides the 'other end' -- takes my
u-blox usb dongle, reads the GPGLL message, and generates this message to
WSJT-X if it detects the grid squares are not the same. This one is in
python, and I'll just put it on github.
Should I submit a diff for the wsjt-x part against 1.8.0 or the development
branch?
