Re: Spot comment

 

I'm afraid I do not understand your position.
You said that you are happy with the 30 chars but you already implemented the possibility to send up to 60 chars by flagging the "long line" option, actually.
This option is no longer working because multiple spots for the same call, on the same QRG are now considered duplicated (at least by dxspider cluster).
This makes the "long line" option useless.
Would it be possible to send the long line in a single dx command instead of splitting it in multiple items?
If a user is happy with the 30 chars can opt-out the option. If a user needs 60 chars can opt-in the option. I guess this was the reasoning you did when you first implemented it.

Set/Show width on DX Clusters is an interesting subject. I have checked several, and they all show a default width of 75. The minimum setting allowed is 45. Just for fun, I set the width to 46. Only the first character is displayed. Set the width to 47 and the first two characters of the comment showed.?So the default width setting of 75 is actually 30 characters of comments are allowed. The excess is truncated.

I'm more than happy with the default.
SeventyThree(s).

Would it be possible to increment this limit, if it doesn't bother you too much??
Maybe it had a sense at the epoc of the packet cluster but nowadays the limit of 30 characters is a bit anachronistic.
You can see below some spots received by logger32 with more than 30 chars.

The need is to send spot with more than 30 char?comment?using a single?DX command.?
No, the cluster will not remove all excess text, as far as you set the width (i.e. set/width 120)

This will send the DX Spot as a single long line. The cluster will remove all excess text. SeventyThree(s).

Hi,
when I send a spot with a long comment then it is splitted into multiple dxspots.
Dxcluster doesn't like this as the multiple dxspots are considered duplicated.
Would it be possible to send only one dxspot with the whole comment?
?
Details below
