O'Brien To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 6:15 PM Subject: [digitalradio] SpotCollector and the K3UK Digital Spotter I started the K3UK "Digital Spotter" simply as a stand alone cluster dedicated to people that wanted to fool around/experiment with digital modes plus announce/beg for digital QSO without the serious DXers on regular clusters becoming upset. Activity at the K3UK Cluster ( telnet://208.15.25.196/ ) has fallen off lately and several users have asked that I connect my cluster to the cluster hub (DX-Central) and somehow configure my cluster to announce only digital spots. I can easily connect to the hub and get LOTS of spots but I am not able to filter non-digital spots because the cluster software that I use, does not permit it. The author of my cluster software (Jim KH2D) felt that a cluster should be wide open in the raw sense and that the end user should filter, at their end, via their telnet or logging software. With that in mind, I wish to remind folks that the FREE software application SpotCollector (http://www.qsl.net/dxlab/ ) can EASILY be configured to allow for ONLY DIGITAL MODES. If you used Spotcollector, and the K3UK Cluster connected to the DX Cluster Hub, you would get digital spots worldwide and, using the ANN/L command on my cluster , you can solicit DIGITAL QSOs without bothering the rest of the DX world. So, which is it? Do you want the K3UK cluster as a stand alone cluster with NO connection to the rest of the DX Clusters, or do you want the K3UK cluster hooked up to the rest of the cluster world, use SpotCollector to filter, and the local announce commands for chat ?
