FT8 RBN spots and CW RBN Spots


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am having difficulty getting the cluster to get both CW and FT8 RBN spots.? I can get one of the other at this time.? Currently the CW spots are going.? I am working with VE7CC to fix the issue.?

Thanks!

The cluster is now passing FT/X and CW/RTTY skimmer or Reverse beacon? spots.

You can turn these on and off with the set command.? You may have to re enable them if you are not seeing them.

set/skimmer enables all skimmer spots. However, you must still specifically have each mode enabled that you want to see.
unset/skimmer disables all skimmer spots, no matter whether the modes are enabled or not.
set/own turns on spotting of your own call for all modes, even human entered spots.

Many users have complained about seeing FT8/FT4 spots when they don't want to see any at all on any frequency ever. The following attempts to address this problem as well as other mode problems.

Many CW, RTTY, PSK, FT4, FT8 spots are manually entered by users, not skimmers. Wherever possible, the SET and UNSET commands work on these spots as well, irrespective of whether skimmers are enabled or not. This requires the modes must be in the comments field. CW spots infrequently have their mode given, so they mostly get through. There is an exception to this rule, FT8 frequencies are protected. This applies to the world wide 3 kHz slots on each band. Only spots that say "FT8" in their comments in these slots are accepted by the cluster software.
