Have now switched my local packet cluster connection from a TNC/comport connection to a TCP/IP telnet connection and have it populating the DX4WIN packet window and feeding spots to the spot window. The trick was modifying the .tcp file with the proper syntax. In addition to the local cluster connection via telnet I also have a 2nd telnet connection via DXTelnet to CQDX also populating the spot window. Love the flexibility DX4WIN offers. Thanks to Mel VE2DC for the assistance. Tony N2SS
