[Dxspider-support] Self-spotting and de-duplication

[Keith, G6NHU]

Keith,

It already is.

Add the following variable to your /spider/scripts/startup script but change x to be the lowest frequency you want to allow anyone to self spot.  I’ve got it set to 0 but if you don’t to allow self spotting below [say] 70cms, change it to 430000 (it’s in kHz).

Hope this helps.

73 Keith.

# Allow self spotting on all frequencies
set/var $Spot::minselfspotqrg x
