  You cannot get rid of the listenUDP().  All UDP traffic has two endpoint addresses associated with it.  One on the receiving end, one on the sending end.  The socket module example you provided earlier binds a local port, too, it just does so implicitly instead of explicitly.

  If you don't care what port you're bound to, use 0.  Your socket library will pick an available one at random for you.
