[Dxspider-support] User 'ping' sequence?

[scarroll at mchsi.com]

I've just recently noticed a phenomenon since upgrading to 57.263, that may 
have been happening all along though. It seems every minute, the cluster 
will 'ping' each & every RF connected user. Is this necesary, or is there a 
parameter to change the timeframe to perhaps 5 minutes. In my opinion, this 
just creates more channel clutter on (in my case) an already crowded packet 
frequency. Inquiring minds want to know...
