RE: Multicast support to GridTracker
Hello Jordi,
Screen space. You would not believe what I have running here.
I have for Windows 11: 3x 4K monitors, of which 2 are 28 inch and one is 30 inch (forgive my imperial measurements). I don't have room for another large monitor.
Screen 1: entirely SmartSDR SDR panorama and waterfall for my FlexRadio 8400M
Screen 2: 75% is Swisslog a) logbook view b) DX Messages low bands c) DX messages high bands and d) Statistic overview
25% is CC User for either a DX Cluster view of VE7CC or the ON4KST 50/70 mHz chat and 6m DX path map if 6m is open
Screen 3 (30 inch) is where I used to have GT but now: Swisslog a) DX messages 6m b) DX Messages 60m c) Entry of QSOs
SDC Skimmer A window, SDC Skimmer B window, SDC Shortcut Panel (DX Clusters, Skimmers controls)
JTDX main window and wide graph window
FlexRadio CAT / DAX / Tuner Genius control window / PGXL amplifier control window
FRStack control automation for Flex
and that leaves me with nothing for GT which I like as a utility because as it zooms in I can see great detail of the location of my QSO partner in FT8 but only if its window is large enough to see that detail. So I moved it to a Pi with its own 15 inch monitor.
I could have used another Windows computer I suppose. But I like the Pi because it has a minimal desk footprint as the unit is small as you know and I can also run HamClock on it which I also find useful.
So there you are Jordi, screen space alone is my reason. Someone will say 'but if you've added a monitor for the Pi you could have added it for the Windows machine'. This is true but I already had the Pi for running HamClock.
PS: look out for new country table near end of October - there is very little to add but I will check on CQ WW activities before sending you a new database.
73 de Erik.
