[Dxspider-support] How does talks work ?

[EA7UU Jesus]

Hello to all

I have same troubles with TALK and SH/ROUTE  commands, but it occurs 
only with a couple of nodes; I have build 0.13 in EA7URM-5. For example 
I have not problem with stations connected to ED1ZAC-5  but with my 
neigbourg cluster ED7ZAB-5 the SH/ROUTE and TALK commands don't work. 
ED1ZAC-5 and EA7URM-5 (my cluster) have both the same link, ED7ZAB-5.

SRI for my english hihi....
