Re: [digitalradio] ALE400 N7DC
Exactly what we need. Either would do well with Spotcollector, but I dont know about those who use other spotting sofware at their own station (such as MIXW, etc.) I am just now getting into using MultiPSK and it works in conjunction with the DXLab stuff, so a lot of potential customers there, as well as those who use WnWarbler.

Re: [digitalradio] ALE400 N7DC
That me be true, but I have seen several stateside MFSK and many PSK spots on the clusters. The next thought is a "digital cluster" which could be used with spot collector? Those that then wanted "any" digital modes/states or otherwise, could load that one up and see the spots, and they would not particular leak out to other clusters. I simply do not have room on the screen for even more windows.

Re: [digitalradio] ALE400 N7DC
Danny, I think they are not being posted/spotted. I have always assumed, perhaps wrongly, that "serious DXers" and cluster owners frown on something like K3UK spotting N7DC because you are not really "DX". Thus even though you might be using an interesting digital mode , I would not spot you on a real DX cluster. If you were ET2US I would spot you, not N7DC. If we all started spotting routine callsigns and their digital modes on a regular cluster, Spotcollector would indeed be the best tool.

Re: [digitalradio] ALE400 N7DC
Where is "there" Tony? HI. And I have, on average, 3 sites gathering spots here, and using SpotCollector which has almost every mode known to man, listed, so its not like they just disappear on this end. Looks like the special digital modes simply are not being passed thru the network.
