[Dxspider-support] Sending DX Spots via UI packets...

[Ron Stordahl]

JG1VGX asked how to send DX spots as UI packets with DX Spider.

Rin JG1VGX you are in luck!

Since you are using AGWPE you can use a stand alone program UI-DX Bridge 
by Andy Pritchard M0CYP:

That program (which is at revision v1.1.2 - but I am not sure that the 
latest version is on Andy's web page - he updated it for me) connects to 
a cluster (your own for example) via telnet and also to your instance 
AGWPE and sends UI packets for each DX spot.  In UI-DX you can specify 
the 'via' route for the UI packets.  I have in the past sent my UI-DX 
packets via TRACE2-2 for example.  Currently I am sending them here via 
NULL as I don't at the moment want any surrounding digi's to actually 
repeat them.

It's unwise to allow too much range (i.e. Wide2-2 for example) as you 
will probably get complaints that you are using too much of the aprs 
radio network time.
