Flex: set SO_REUSEADDR: What Does It Do?

Just asking, can you say more about "Flex: set SO_REUSEADDR to allow NodeRed, etc. to work with the waveform. #1161"

Just curious what this will do?

Hi Alan,

Sorry, I didn't have time to update the PR description this morning. Basically, it sets the SO_REUSEADDR socket option for the Flex discovery socket so that other third-party FlexRadio applications (e.g. NodeRed) can be used at the same time. Otherwise, the FlexRadio AppImage/waveform won't be able to open that socket if e.g. NodeRed is already running and thus won't find your radio on the network (without manually specifying the IP address, anyway).

Thanks,
