"Quick question...when I run the code you published I get the following error:

File "D:/Python/WSJTX Pull/pull.py", line 93, in sock.bind((mcast_group, mcast_port)) OSError: [WinError 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context

I have checked and the WSJTX multicast address and socket are the same as in the code. I am not familiar with network protocol programming and wondered if this was a obvious problem to your eyes??"

this appears to be related to how windows handles multicast and the joining of the multicast group specific to an interface. may need to amend code to account for that. to be investigated further..
