When I connect to a http cluster like 25 spots OH2AQ,http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/dx25.html?|3 I get duplicate spots every 3 minutes until the number of spots runs out of the 25 that this particular cluster displays.
There are two separate problems: 1. If it's late at night when there are not many new spots I'll get pages of the same 1,2 or 3 spots. Also I have to listen to the _same_ voice spot announcement every 3 minutes. 2. If the same station is spotted two different times I get multiple instances of _both_ spots. The earlier spot is not dropped as normally happens with a two meter cluster. These two problems do not happen when using a two meter cluster because two meter clusters normally only send the spot once. In the case of a http cluster, there should be logic to: 1. Do not respond to or announce a spot that is identical to a previously listed spot 2. Clear a spot when a later different spot for a call comes in like a two meter cluster. I understand the ability to re-scan http spots is new in version 6 and I greatly applaud it's addition but the current logic is not correct. I hope it can be fixed.
