Grid Tracker

bcowan All Messages By This Member #227775 It would be interesting to get some idea how many of the DXlab users are using Grid Tracker instead of JT Alert. ? ?
Ed All Messages By This Member #227776 I use JT Alert for all the heavy lifting. ?Some times I’ll load up in addition at the same time, GRID tracker for visuals only. The visuals are quite nice. But that is all I use from Grid tracker.? ED WA6WGS
Hasan Schiers N0AN All Messages By This Member #227779 Grid Tracker is only eye-candy as far as I'm concerned, compared to the multifaceted and well supported JTAlert. I've run GT, and I uninstalled it. It is nowhere near the alert software as is JTA, but as others have said, "it looks nice". 73, N0AN Hasan toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, Feb 12, 2025 at 11:05?AM Ed via <wa6wgs=[email protected]> wrote: I use JT Alert for all the heavy lifting.?

Joe Subich, W4TV All Messages By This Member #227780 100% agree with Hasan. Considering that DXKeeper/SpotCollector do not support Grid Tracker, it does not justify the screen space and other issues. Other than the graphics (which I find of no value), JT Alert provides alerting that is orders of magnitude more advanced and capable than GT. The only possible justification for GT is if one were using LINUX - in which case DXLab Suite and JT Alert would be non-starters. 73, ...

Dave AA6YQ All Messages By This Member #227786 If there's any documentation for interoperating with GridTracker, I could not locate it. The documentation page says "it's one the way", but is otherwise empty: ? https://gridtracker.org/index.php/documentation/user-guide-wiki I scanned a video showing how to enable Grid Tracker to interoperate with WSJT-X and a logging application. This enables Grid Tracker to display the locations of the stations decoded by WSJT-X, and QSOs logged in WSJT-X to be sent to the logging application. All of that functionality an more has long been provided in DXLab, either via its direct interoperation with WSJT-X or via JTAlert. IF there were documentation, the number of external world maps that DXView supports could be increased from 2 (DX Atlas, Google Maps) to 3. Comparing this map in GridTracker? with this map in DX Atlas or this map in Google Earth doesn't sent me racing to the keyboard on my DXLab development system. Recall that a year or two ago, a release of GridTracker automatically at startup directed LoTW to download all of its user's submitted QSOs, thereby activating LoTW's undocumented "download abuse detector", which then prevented the user from employing DXKeeper to upload QSOs to LoTW or sync with LoTW. Senior ARRL personnel blamed this on DXKeeper. The GridTracker developers were less than responsive, but eventually did correct their defect; this history doesn't make me anxious to work with them. ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ?Dave, AA6YQ

Dave w6de All Messages By This Member #227858 I am able to view the GridTracker image. It appears to be exactly what the title says. Shows significant information about Grids and takes up way too much monitor space.
