Hi,
Here is a few details I noted after reinstalling DXSpider on a new PC
with the latest tarball:
- 4m band: the upper limit should be 70631 kHz (to include the CT
allocation = 70607-70631
according to http://www.70mhz.org/bands.htm),
- the "merge" command seems not to work. I tried it with our 2 main link
partners to get some
of the DX and WWV spots we missed during our 5 days downtime, but no
answer was received...
- I could not recover easily some files like "baddx" or similar. If I
copy them from the old install
to the new one, new entries are appended to the file, but the old
entries are ignored (this is the
same behaviour I noted with "qsl.v1" before I was instructed to use
create_qsl),
- some commands in "Aliases" seems no logical to me (well, on this one
everybody may have his
point of view!). Especially, I believe that "sh/d" should be
interpreted as "sh/dx" and not as
"sh/date", which is an almost useless command (the date and time are
displayed in the prompt!),
while "sh/dx" is obviously the most important command on the cluster.
I always modify my
"Aliases" file to get that result, but I believe it would be a good
default setting.
- I noted a few french translations I sent one year ago were not
integrated in the "Messages" file.
Not a big problem; I will submit them again to Dirk, with a few new ones.
Else no real problems; thanks to Dirk for his great work!
