[WT-support] DXSpider cluster sh/dx 20 format ?

[Noel Chenavard]

DXSpider cluster has a different way to manage SH/DX than original ak1a 
& dxnet clusters. (read post below)

i.e. on DXSpider, SH/DX 160 don't display 160m spots, but 160 lines of 
all spots (!) . You must use SH/DX on 160m .

So, in WT, would it be possible to change the information sent by SH/DX, 
depending on the cluster node we are using ?

I was thinking about a context switch , so after Alt-T, clicking on the 
"20" button would send "sh/dx on 20m" or "sh/dx 20" .


I'm not absolutely sure it was a good idea from the DXSpider developpers 
to change the cluster user interface, but now it's too late ...

It is the only place to do this. Unfortunately, I don't think it is a
particularly clever way to do it, as it will completely break the normal
semantics of the sh/dx command.

I suspect that the correct thing to do is to modify the text of the
pre-configured buttons of your win-test program. I imagine that this
will be easier as well. I doubt very much, seeing as DXSpider now is
probably the most used node software about, that the cmd text is
"fixed". It probably lives in a .ini file somewhere or (gawd help us) in
the registry.

And just for the absence of doubt: I ain't changing the sh/dx cmd :-)
