When connected to an AR CLUSTER node, do a SH/FDX/50 command to see
the last 50 spots formatted as real-time spots.
The advantage of this is it populates the band map window.
The disadvantage is except during a high-rate contest, spots as old as
fifty spots ago may have questionable accuracy due to people moving
around and band conditions changing.
I ONLY do this if I find I've been disconnected from the node for
some time. I rarely do search & pounce on these older spots but
they do help prevent me from sitting, waiting on a station that is
a dupe as I'm tuning the band.
