Auto Upload WSJT-X MSK-144 SPOTs


 

Now that I have WSJT-X directly directly connected to SpotCollector and it is working.

I want my Band Activity Calls (while monitoring 6 meter MSK144 with WSJT-X) to automatically be uploaded to N6WS. ...or is that already happening? I see those spots appear from me if I manually force them from a logged qso (Right Click on Log Entry > Spot ...etc)

I just saw a decode from of N8CJK EN84 working K0TPP. I have not seen a new spot created in SpotCollector.
Same for N5SYV calling CQ

I am now working N5WYV. I finished / logged the QSO in WSJT-X and it? populated DXKeeper, and auto-uploaded to LoTW.

I see nothing on SpotCollector for either my monitored decodes, nor my actual contacts.

Am I missing a setting, and if so, where and what?

( I have read the sections on how to set things up for X and SpotCollector, but I see no reference to Auto-Uploading calls decoded in X)

Strangely enough, all my FT8 monitoring on HF fills my SpotCollector screen. Obviously, I'm missing something. Maybe a sub-mode setting?

To Simplify:
I have separate WSJT-X configurations for each mode:

If I change my WSJT-X configuration from MSK144 to FT8, everything decoded in X shows up in SpotCollector with network WSJTX

As soon as I switch back to MSK144 config, that no longer happens.

I'm going to stay in the FT8 Config and just change modes and see what happens.

Switched : FT8 decodes from 40m fill the SpotCollector
Stayed in FT8 Config: Changed Mode and Freq to MSK144 and 50.260

Waiting for an MSK144 decode.

MSK144 decodes appeared, they did NOT show up in SpotCollector, while normal N6WS decodes from HF continue(d) to show up.

Befuddled as to why MSK144 decodes will not show up in SpotCollector as WSJTX network.

+ As described in

<>

+ SpotCollector can accept incoming spots from up to 4 DX Clusters, a local packet cluster, the DX Summit web cluster, and one or more local instances of WSJT-X. The incoming spots are used to maintain a Database with one entry for each active DX station operating in a particular mode near a particular frequency. The information in this database can be viewed in multiple ways: in a table that you can filter and sort, on DXView's world map (with independent filtering), on Commander's Bandspread, in a display optimized to reveal propagation patterns, on a Spectrum-Waterfall window (when controlling a recent Icom transceiver, or on a Flex Signature Panadapter.

+ SpotCollector does not provide a way to automatically route the information it collects to a DX Cluster. You can of course generate outgoing spots, either directly, via DXKeeper, or via Winwarbler.

I see those spots appear from me if I manually force them from a logged qso (Right Click on Log Entry > Spot ...etc)

+Correct.

+ I have tested SpotCollector with WSJT-X decoding FT4 and FT8 stations, but not MSK-144. So that I can see what's going on, please do the following:

0. download the new version of SpotCollector that I will send you via email; this version has additional diagnostics for monitoring incoming WSJT-X messages

1. on the General tab of SpotCollector's Configuration window, check the "Log debugging info" box

2. place WSJT-X in FT8 mode, and wait until several callsigns operating in FT8 and decoded by WSJT-X have appeared in SpotCollector's Main window

3. place WSJT-X in MSK144 mode, and wait until WSJT-X has decoded several MSK144 stations.

4. on the General tab of SpotCollector's Configuration window, uncheck the "Log debugging info" box

5. attach the errorlog.txt file from your SpotCollector folder to an email message, and send the message to me via
