Dialog box for the Flex Radio and APRS Client. AI assisted project

Very Important

Must install tkinter module python -m pip install --user tkinter

Must install geocoder module install requests

Version: v1a (19-07-2026) and V2(24-09-2026)

The working version is wsjtx_spots_V2.py

FLEX_RADIO_aprs.py sends call to APRS with: callsign frequency mode

if LATITUDE and LONGITUDE is None then get Latitude and longitude by IP address geocoder def get_my_location as gml

APRS Beacon Configuration must be updated with your own callsign, passcode, server, and location information

  - Beacon will resend every 15 minutes or a time you specify in RESEND_TIME
  - to change the ICON go to https://www.aprs.org/symbols.html
  - geocoder locates elevation with def get_my_altitude as gma

Features

• This software runs a Dialog Box
• Transfers data to wsjtx_spots_V2
• Red spots when someone calls your callsign
• Green spots for CQ POTA decodes
• Time-based deduplication & refresh matching your chosen spot lifetime
• Interactive setup: callsign, filter mode (CQ / CQ POTA / none), lifetime seconds

How does it work for FLEX RADIOS

• In the the FLEX_RADIO_functions_classes: def find_flex_radio_ip(): Finds the radio IP Address def get_flex_callsign(callsign=None): Get the callsign from the radio

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• WSJT-X (with UDP multicast enabled: 224.0.0.1 port 2237)
• FlexRadio 6000/8000 series with SmartSDR API enabled (port 4992)

#---You can run FLEX_RADIO_functions_classes by itself to see how it works. #--- I have intergated the software: Line 26 #Get the radio IP Address Line 27 fetched_radio_ip =ffri()

Line 267 From Line 267 root = tk.Tk() root.title("FLEX RADIO") root.geometry("300x200") root.resizable(False, False) root.columnconfigure(2, weight=1)

app = MyDialog(master=root)

The script blocks here until the user clicks Apply (triggering master.quit())

root.mainloop()

Read the values from the app instance safely while it still exists in memory

fetched_radio_ip = app.radio_ip fetch_r_callsign = app.r_callsign my_option = app.my_option current_scale_value = app.current_scale_value

Clean up and completely close the underlying window system now

root.destroy()

To run APRS modules

Import aprlib module FLEX_RADIO_get_my_data_funcs get data from Flex radio module FLEX_RADIO_aprs runs the flex data to aprs
