[WT-support] Dx Cluster

[Tom Wylie]

Just my 2p worth   -   when you go Into the WtDxTelnet 
window and click on Options, you get a window which says
Win-Test Properties.... Click that and a new box will open 
it says  IP Address Port Number  etc.

Under that there is a box with a tick in it which says
Disable Communication with Win Test.

UNTICK THIS BOX then click OK   minimise the Telnet Box and 
it should work.

To see the spots in Win Test you need to have either Band 
map up or the Band List - Tool bar  top right Box 1 = Radio 
1 and Box 2 = radio 2 (for simplicity)  One has to be 
open...but remember the spots are also filtered - just 
because you dont see any doesnt mean there are none, they 
may just be outwith the limits of the band map

ie you may be looking for CW spots but the band map is 
seeing on SSB because it is zoomed in or out....

Its great software once you get the hang of it..
