I have seen issues with certain devices using two flex radio's on the same network because?both radios are stuck using port 4992, This causes the Flow's using UDP port 4992 to toggle between the two radio's frequency and band's

This happens on Green Heron, HF-Auto and the VITA49 flows and I'm sure others, I being?very much a NEW_BEE to?Node-Red? have dabbled with trying to change these FLows to work with the CAT TCP port numbers instead that we can set how we want and not stuck on 4992 so maybe some of you guys who are seasoned?Node-RED code writers can figure how to change these so we CAN use these flows with two radio's on the same network.?

Thanks?guys and have a great day?

I have?not seen the same problem, but then I make sure that I listen to the IP address of the radio I want as the source.

Would that work for you?

Hi Michael,?

What flow are you using, Maybe I'm using a old version?

Thanks

I have been thinking about the two radio support. Probably easiest way is to just copy your Flex Radio flow and make a second one. Change the TCP request node to the IP of the second radio. Change the “C3|client udpport 4991” to another unused UDP port such as 4995 for meter data. You will need to change the UDP listener to the port you choose for the second radio. It is OK for both to send their broadcast on 4992. The TCP can both be on 4992 since it is going to two different IP addresses.?

Check out my FlexRadioV2.txt in the files section. Just make sure of the bind client command that each flow is binding to the client you want. We may need to add some code to be able to choose which client you want to bind to but for experimentation you can enter the client_ID manually into each flow for now.?

Give this a try.? Feel free to hack around at it.? Don't trust it to be 100% correct.? :). I hack around in here a lot.??

I also think it has some really sloppy code.? :)
