### WinTest
### Win-Test
WinTest is also supported. KST4Contest receives WinTest UDP packets via a dedicated listener. Configuration is analogous to the other programs.
Win-Test is supported with a dedicated UDP network listener that understands the native Win-Test network protocol.
**Advantages of Win-Test Integration:**
- Automatic QSO synchronization to mark worked stations.
- **Sked Handover (ADDSKED):** Using the "Create sked" button in the station info panel not only creates a sked in KST4Contest but also *sends it directly via UDP to the Win-Test network as an ADDSKED packet*.
- You can choose between "AUTO", "SSB", or "CW" sked modes.
**Required Settings in KST4Contest:**
- `UDP-Port for Win-Test listener` (Default: 9871).
- Enable `Receive Win-Test network based UDP log messages`.
- Enable `Win-Test sked transmission (push via ADDSKED to Win-Test network)`.
- `KST station name in Win-Test network (src of SKED packets)`: Defines the station name KST4Contest uses in the WT network (e.g., "KST").
- `Win-Test station name filter`: If a name is entered here (e.g., "STN1"), only QSOs from that specific Win-Test instance will be processed. Leave empty to accept all.
- `Win-Test network broadcast address`: Is usually detected automatically and is required to send sked packets to the network.
**Settings in Win-Test:**
- The network in Win-Test must be active.
- Win-Test must be configured to send/receive its broadcasts on the corresponding port (default 9871).

In addition to QSO synchronisation, UCXLog and other programs also transmit the **current transceiver frequency** via UDP. KST4Contest processes this information and makes it available as the `MYQRG` variable.
![Frequency Buttons](qrg_buttons.png)
**Result**: Your own QRG never needs to be typed manually in the chat – clicking the MYQRG button or using the variable in the beacon is sufficient.
> **Note for multi-setup**: With two logging programs on two computers, only **one** should send frequency packets. KST4Contest cannot distinguish between sources and processes all incoming packets.
