I have to agree with Bob. The thing that people might want to track for POTA is the park from which they operated?from. You can do that currently with "my QTH's". If people did it correctly, their uploads to LotW would show the correct location. I use "my QTH's" to track my SOTA activations.
The other thing you might want as a chaser of POTA or SOTA is a beam heading of the park or summit. I currently do this for chasing SOTA by opening the ?(you have to be?logged?in to get the correct heading) and then click on the summit to get the heading. I then enter the heading manually?into DXView. I don't know how to find?the heading for a park. Is there a way to find a Maidenhead grid or beam heading for a park easily? The POTA app does not provide that info.
The current way SpotCollector displays SOTA info is great, you click on the spot and the summit reference?is entered into the DXK capture window and logged. I think DXLabs is the easiest?way to chase SOTA.

Re: help with commander + WSJTX+JTALert for flex 8600
Thanks. I think I see what I need to do. Second wsjtx needs to be set to flex6xxx vice dxcommander.

I have commander, and wsjtx working with flex but changing freq on one wsjtx ends up changing both instances. I unchecked SPLIT before starting wsjtx but trying to change freq activates split in commander which is probably why both slices change to the same band.

I can vouch for the instructions provided in "How to Move DXLabSuite" to a new computer...the instructions are clear, they are by the numbers, and they work. I just went through this when I bought a Win11 Pro NUC MtK 32 gB RAM Ryzen 7 and had been running a refurb I5 Lenovo.
The move went without a hitch, it was complicated, it had many steps, BUT the instructions were so well done, it worked without any hiccups. Good job!!!
+ That procedure has benefitted from many suggested improvements by members of this group over the years.

I am using two instances of WSJTX.

Modes and freq are tracking fine between two slices.? But when I go to TX from slice B in WSJTX it changes the TX over to Slice A and transmits.? Clicking a decoded call in Slice B transmits to slice A.
Any call I click in wsjtx does nothing with JTAlert or DXKeeper.

When I reach a thousand activator SOTA points for Mountain Goat, I may then switch my focus to both SOTA and POTA. Only 331 points to go.
