Hi Patrick,

when you have several instances of wtDXtelnet running with different DXclusters/Skimmers, 
commands from the DXcluster window (ALT-T) in Win-Test are broadcasted to all the 
wtDXtelnet instances and all connected DXclusters/Skimmers. I do also get the "command 
error" from the DXcluster when sending a skimmer command but that does not cause a 
disconnect from the cluster. If your cluster node disconnects on a command error try 
another node. It works for me with DB0ERF-5. There is no such problem if you use the input 
line of the appropriate wtDXtelnet window (command is not broadcasted to other wtDXtelnet 
instances).


What bothers me when running several wtDXtelnet instances is that the configuration in 
"DXcluster properties" is always applied to all the runnning wtDXtelnet windows. So if a 
reconnect occurs on any wtDXtelnet window it may go to the "wrong" cluster/skimmer. You 
have to manually reconfigure settings in "DXcluster properties" in every window. Would be 
great if the configuration would apply to the selected wtDXtelnet window only.
