I understand to go into Windows Task Manager, Details tab, and Set Affinity to accomplish this.? I am finding, that when Spot Collector is terminated and restarted, I have to do it all over again.? I don't see a method to "Save" the affinity that I have set.
+ Setting an application's affinity is indeed transient; it is reset when the application is restarted, and when Windows is rebooted. There are several Windows automation tools that can be used make this automatic: Automation Workshop, Process Hacker, and Anvir Task Manager. I have no experience with any of them. My advice is to first determine whether assigning DXLab applications to cores yields a significant performance improvement in your usage scenario before taking this step.
It's going to take a while to build up my spots database enough to see the effects, I'll look at it then.? My spots database currently has less than 200 entries.? I just cleared it trying to get better performance
+ If your use of SpotCollector is solely to identify active stations with whom a QSO would advance your progress towards the awards or personal objectives that you are pursuing, then you don't need a deep Spot Database;? 60 minutes worth of Spot Database Entries is sufficient to eliminate the clutter caused by multiple spots of the same station. + A deeper Spot Database is only required to learn and? visualize the activity patterns of specific stations you are hunting and to identify and visualize actual propagation openings to those stations - the goal being to find and work them before they are spotted and the cluster hordes descend on the frequency. ? ? ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
