AW: [digitalradio] ROS v 4.8.X not spamming cluster
Autospot can now be turned off with a switch Spotting by hand is possible So jose did some major changes in that way Now we have 2 programms running in background of the soft ros One sends spots to cluster via telnet And the other sends spots to psk reporter page for display them on a map Greetz Sigi Dg9bfc
Re: [digitalradio] Re: ROS v 4.8.X not spamming cluster - NOT
Hi Laurie I have been running the latest version of ROS in a sandbox monitoring its network behavior with the software SmartSniff from Nirsoft http://www.nirsoft.net over a period of 2 hours. ROS was constantly sending information to PSKReporter , but never to the Cluster. But I believe you if you mean it still spams the Cluster and that is really sad :( LA5VNA Steinar On 24.07.2010 00:21, Laurie wrote: Hi Steinar, Unfortunately, v4.8.2 of ROS still spams the DX Cluster with auto-spots. Only way to effectively stop is block adif.exe at the firewall. ROS Auto-Spots too Cluster currently represent 98% of all ROS Cluster spots, with ROS representing 6.2% of all Cluster spots (7 day period). As far as I can tell, ROS software is the only Digital-Mode software that doesn't allow the user to turn off auto-spots (to either PSKReporter or Cluster) or allow user-selection of Cluster. The user is not given any choice. All the other software developers are more Ham/Cluster friendly. :( de Laurie, VK3AMA On 24/07/2010 2:35 AM, Steinar Aanesland wrote: Hi all, It seems that the latest ROS is not spamming the cluster. 73 de LA5VNA Steinar

Re: [digitalradio] Re: ROS v 4.8.X not spamming cluster - NOT
Hi Steinar, Mr Ros has a habit of rolling out new versions without updating the version number. So my non working v4.8.2 may have been different to yours. Currently v4.8.3 has been updated 3 times today (they way to tell is that the Medifire Link where the files are hosted changes every-time he uploads a new file). v 4.8.3 is not spamming the Cluster based on my tests. So that is progress. Unfortunately the option to turn off spots is ON by default, so users have to go and look for it. I suspect we will still see lots of the Cluster Auto-Spots because the people who didn't block it at the firewall and happily used ROS without regard for the Spam Spots they were generating will be too lazy, or uninterested to find the OFF option. Mr ROS hardcoded another 2 Cluster Nodes into his software in this last release. At least some progress has been made. de Laurie, VK3AMA On 24/07/2010 7:22 PM, Steinar Aanesland wrote: Hi Laurie I have been running the latest version of ROS in a sandbox monitoring its network behavior with the software SmartSniff from Nirsoft http://www.nirsoft.net over a period of 2 hours.

Iin the tab skets click on cluster There you can send spots manually and switch off the autospotting I let the newest version run for a few hours not autospots were sent when switch was off You can send autogenerated and in downloaded newest version the switch is set normally to on . so as the users do not switch it off (or using old version) there is the reason for the soft still sending spots So all users should manually switch that function off ! ! ! Psk reporter sends to the map Cluster sends to telnet Ros sends on air and the emails via gmail As the autospot can now be switched off we have what we wanted .. What about an autospot configurable by user (only send spots more than xy km distance) Hope you find that switch hi hi Greetz Sigi Dg9bfc

i run two machines xp/win7. both have installed the microsoft security essentials. of late, i am getting a pop up warning about a trojan:win32/jpgiframe.a on digisites loading and when it refreshes.G0HWC,s web page with all the thumbs from various sstv ops does the same. the security program can eliminate the trojan, which is good, but a false positive all the time is a bummer. anyone to comment. david/wd4kpd -- God's law is set in stone : everything else is negotiable

Glad i could help Iif you do NOT use cat the autogenerated spots on 20m are sent as 14000 . so not correct But when sending by hand qrg is correct I asked jose if he can solve that . that a user without can do not send wrong qrg . maybe he will find a solution for that As we have now the autoreport to pskreporter we do not need the autospots anymore (but jose thinks it is still needed) So every user should switch that off and spot only by hand Greetz sigi

Hi Sigi, Jose uses Cluster Auto-Spots to advertise his software. The more spots, the more it appears to be a popular mode to the uninformed Cluster User. Jose, clearly doesn't understand the Ham/Cluster culture. Maybe we can change his attitude by passing on these concerns to his Beta-Tester who might be better placed to change his mind. I know who the Beta-Tester is, email me privately and I will pass on the info (no it is not me, Hi) de Laurie, VK3AMA On 25/07/2010 5:50 AM, Siegfried Jackstien wrote: As we have now the autoreport to pskreporter we do not need the autospots anymore (but jose thinks it is still needed)

Lauri, Why is it, that only a handful of amateurs seem to be concerned about this?
