<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">All</span><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">First, thank you for the helpful suggestions and hints.</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">For the past few days I have been trying to make a MS .NET 4.0 UDP listener work under VB2010, using the System.Net.Sockets namespace, which gives you essentially a 5 line UDP listener.</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Now, this works but ONLY one time because I don't manage to release the resources (the port) in a proper manner and after countless hours of searching, I can't find the answer either. And still there is plenty of UDP listener SW that works. What to do?</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">So, just because it was simple, I was doing the testing on a single laptop with WT running as the UDP source (broadcasting what WT broadcasts) and it t turns out that when I move WT to an other machine on the same network, all work great!!! My code was OK, it was the way XP TCP/IP stack and ports that caused the errors. Now I have the code I need to go ahead.</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">So, I only need to write the LUA script that checks what radio is active and if "*" was already used etc. and I should be in business to send my custom GAB messages as Ingo suggested.</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><span style="line-height: 22.719999313354492px; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><span style="line-height: 22.719999313354492px; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><span style="line-height: 22.719999313354492px; font-size: 12pt;">Markku</span></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><span style="line-height: 22.719999313354492px; font-size: 12pt;">OH2RA/OG2A/WW1C</span></div> </div></body>
