Set up WSJT-X for Auto Grid - iz2bkt - 04-10-2023

The Auto Grid function in WSJT-X allows you to set a temporary WWL (Worldwide Locator) based on the GPS location detected by BktTimeSync.

To use this feature with BktTimeSync, you must meet the following requirements:
- Activate GPS synchronization and wait for the WW Locator grid value to be displayed.
- The WW Locator is sent to WSJT-X only when BktTimeSync synchronizes the time using GPS, by pressing the "Send WW Locator" button or by enabling the Real Time option.
- Sending the WW Locator may fail if other software is also using the connection to WSJT-X. If an error occurs, BktTimeSync will automatically retry for one minute.
The grid sent by BktTimeSync to WSJT-X will not be visible in the WSJT-X configuration but will be used only during transmission. If WSJT-X is restarted, it must be sent again.

To configure WSJT-X in this way:
