[WriteLog] WL and SmartSDR integration - Bandmap / WL not sending right mode to SmartSDR/6500

[Keith Goobie]

Joe

Thanks for the guidance so far.

I removed the DXTelnet application and the software hook to make it work
with WL.  I enabled the embedded telnet cluster client functionality and it
will connect and display cluster spots ­ there is no filtering and that can
be adjusted later.

Spots that had RTTY or PSK in the description / comment field will populate
the bandmap and the packet spot list.
Clicking on the spot in either will take the radio into RTTY mode and assign
the right frequency.  Those that do not have comments/detail are either
assigned to be CW or PH mode depending on the frequency.

I would like to be able to adjust or re-build the band summary so that a
spot within certain limits will be automatically assumed to be CW or RTTY or
SSB.  

Or maybe a batter question where can I change the feature / functionality
available to the embedded cluster client so that I can pick and choose (the
type of spots and how it is communicated to WL/SmartSDR via the cluster
client ­ I know that it can be done on the server.

Comments / guidance?

Thanks in advacnce
