Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window
K1TTT (non skimmer setting) updates, but looking at the DX4WIN site, it's missing a lot of stations. Should be K1TTT (non skimmer setting) updates, but looking at the DX Summit site, it's missing a lot of stations.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window
DX Summit will not refresh in DX4WIN, but it refreshes if I am parked on the web site. Been using DX Summit for years, and it works fine for me, but (for me) it will not update in DX4WIN. K1TTT (non skimmer setting) updates, but looking at the DX4WIN site, it's missing a lot of stations. How do you have your DX4WIN configured so that DX Summit updates?

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window
Just came back from watching a DVD; the entries in my DX Spots had a "Time" value between 99 and 116 minutes; nothing sooner. I was using DX Summit. I'll try K1TTT and let you know. 73 Mark K3MSB On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 6:11 PM, John Shaw wrote: > Re read your problem, and I'm on the wrong track here, sorry. > > -Original Message- > From: John Shaw [mailto:jns...@compassnet.co.nz] > Sent: Sunday, 14 August 2011 10:07 > To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net > Subject: RE: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window > > I'm guessing perhaps your "DX spotting patterns" under Packet2 in the > preferences have been corrupted?

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window
Keep-alive is only an issue if the cluster you connect to requires it. Basically, some clusters will disconnect you if they don't see anything from your system within a certain amount of time. If that's the case, you'll need to have a keep-alive set, but you'd still see spots coming in for the first few minutes until the time-out kicked in. Which cluster are you connecting to, and do you see spots coming into the packet window? You might want to try something like the K1TTT-1 cluster which is tied to a skimmer, meaning that you'll get a pretty much constant flow of spots, especially now with the WAE CW contest in progress.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window
Assuming that you're seeing spots coming into the packet window (if not, then the problem is with the cluster you're connecting to), you need to make sure that the DX Spots window is sorting by arrival time. In that window, right-click and select Sort then click on Arrival. (You can also look at the window title, it should say something like "DX spots [DXCC] sorted by Arrival". Also, make sure that you haven't accidentally held the window, it'll say "(HOLDING)" if it is. If it says that, press the Insert button on your keyboard when you've got the window in focus.

Excuse part of that post; the 9 is the priority; I got confused. It's still not updating though.

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window
Hi -- How does one get the window to refresh in real - time ? In the packet window, I select the internet connection I want, and the spot that shows up are all 9 minutes old. Checking DX Summit, there are a lot of spots that are more recent than 9 minutes.
