[SADXA] JTAlert question

[Wes]

Mike,

Thanks.  I briefly used JTAlert on my Win 7 pro laptop that I've just retired as 
the shack computer. I've rearranged the desk in my cramped closet/shack and 
acquired a SFF Win10 Pro machine (used) and now have two monitors.  So I thought 
to at least have the capability to run FT8, although as you know it's not my 
favorite.  I do have N3FJP's suite of programs, although they aren't my favorite 
either; I'm still partial to the antique DXBase.

I have several things running that all need the serial port so I use LPBridge to 
share the port.  FT8 is really bossy about needing to be top dog on the port, 
but I think I've finally got it tamed by using Omnirig.  Messy but it can be 
made to work.  We'll see how the introduction of JTAlert affects things.
