Re: soemtimes Flex (SmartSDR) and logger lose each other
I Googled the SmartSDR documentation, but find no reference to Baud rate/parity/etc. of the serial port. What speed settings are available, and what are you configured for?
?
Both Logger32 and SmartSDR have event monitors (debug windows) they?show message exchange. The clues you need are probably there. SeventyThree(s).
?
PS. Again, it would be nice if someone who as actually seen a FlexRadio would offer advice.

Re: "User Input Key Clicks Saved"
John If "Contemporaneous user input sequence" option is checked (in UDP BandMap, Config/Logging option), this message is displayed. If this option is checked, QSO is logged automatically in Logger32 when QSO is logged in jtdx or wsjtx.

Hi
Hamalert.org is a nice feature who can do the filtering for u. It can grab you stats from clublog and filter your telnet connection based on that.
/David - SM3ULU
The table on page 355 shows for RBN.? By all means connect directly to RBN to give?it a go ... provided you are ready for the veritable tsunami of robotic?spots, most of which are essentially duplicate spots of the same DX station by different robots e.g. here's part of a minute's worth:
That's really not very useful, especially without filtering down to the few DXstations I'm interested in (i.e. 10m CW this year).???Logger32 has a tough time processing the tsunami, and the don't even try it if you have a slow/costly Internet connection.?
A better option is that some (most?) DXclusters?offer RBN/Skimmer/robotic spots, either on the same port as the manual/human spots (perhaps enabled or disabled with a command) or on a separate port. These may be partially de-duped and sanitised by the DXcluster, depending on how the SysOp has set things up.? You'll have to hunt around on the Web for info from the DXclusters, of which there are hundreds.
Better still, VE7CC's "CC User" program makes it easy to fiddle with the filters and turn Skimmer/robotic spots on or off at each cluster.? See section 13.9 in the manual for details.
I'm not sure what you mean by "The manual page 304 section 13.7 doesn't tie up with the tabs on Logger32.": do you mean the Cluster window tab names?? If so, see page 294, the start of chapter 13.? The first screenshot there shows the default tab names, with a note:?"Once it
is connected to DX cluster, a tab takes on the cluster name ..." so a tab that sets out with the name "Telnet" will change to, say, "AE5E" once you connect via Telnet through that tab to AE5E's DXcluster node.?

Re: soemtimes Flex (SmartSDR) and logger lose each other
Is it possible that you have the polling set too fast. On the Logger32 radio config, set polling to 200ms, the slowly decrease it 10ms at a time until oyu will reach a point where the connection becomes unreliable. it is now polling too fast.? Add 20ms, and you should be about there.
?
There are several FlexRadio?users on this reflector, Hopefully they will share their settings?with you..

What is it se to new? SeventyThree(s).?

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.
73 Andrea, iz2lsc
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.

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?
