Hi, I've been browsing the code for the console and had an idea, which might be of interest, especially for contesting with cluster assistance:
Allow the user to see the the panadapter in a seperate form which allows resizing and scaling. And in this new panadapter viewer insert cluster spots (e.g. read from internet via telnet) at the correct positions. Clicking on a spot jumps to the frequency of the spot. After working the station or deciding not to, there ought to be a really quick method of returning to the old (running) qrg. Logging software like WinTest already can do this, but without a realtime spectrum display. By combining the two, the operator can decide if it is worth taking a listen to a spot before leaving his running frequency, i.e. if one sees there is no signal in the panadapter, then one won't waste time checking if one can work the spotted station. A really deluxe version, would only display stations which have not been worked and highlight multis. This would mean that the console would have to be able to communicate with the logging software. I'm afraid my C# is not good enough to do this myself, apart from the amount time it would take, but maybe some one might want to try programming this. vy 73 de toby _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
