No more infos in DX Cluster window
Dear friends,
I haven't used Swisslog for a while, upgraded to version 5.97k and noticed that I have no more messages displayed in the DX Cluster window.
I checked the Telnet Control window : The servers I choosed are active and connected ( automatically connected at start up ) , and I 'm able to read all traffic infos in the DX Server window.
Any help ?
Thanks de Patrice

Since version 5.97 Swisslog implements a Spot lifetime parameter in Dx message windows and Band Maps. As clearly indicated in Swisslog help for these options:
IMPORTANT: Please make sure the "Time diff to UTC" is set correctly in every of your My QTH. Otherwise Swisslog won't calculate correctly the Spot Lifetime which can cause no spots displayed
Review this parameter in your My QTH used. You will probably have a value which is wrong.

Hi Jordi,
From the moment I opened the QSO Entry window to review the settings of my time difference to UTC which was right ( 2 ) , DX messages started. I never noticed this behaviour before. Should I do this every time ?
Have a nice sunday.

RE: No more infos in DX Cluster window
I am having the same problem but my time differential is accurate and still no DX Cluster messages as of v 5.97. I am able to go into the Telnet dialogue and click on any of the clusters I have auto-logged into, then hit DX Spots and it will fill, but I have no "Start" button anymore and I have to go through this procedure every time I open the program. Has the "start" button been eliminated on the DX Messages window?? It's still there on the photo in the Help section.
Any Help would be appreciated!

RE: No more infos in DX Cluster window
Thank you for your reply. I did have the latest version (sorry for not mentioning it). I also did have the Add QSO's window open. Strangely, I tried all sorts of things last night and opened and closed the program several times but could never get the DX Spots to automatically start showing. Then this morning I opened it up, doing nothing differently, and they popped up immediately. I don't have a good explanation but I am glad they are working.

Just in case it helps: in the Telnet Server window, see if you have set only one DX Cluster to auto-start. If so, it is better to also have a 2nd set to auto-start. There are few Clusters that don't have some "down time" and of course, when that happens with a single one selected, that means no Spots to the DX Messages window. When the Cluster Server windows are hidden, as you might have (I am guessing), you cannot see when a Server is not responding.
Erik.
