Obviously PC92 A and records will have been received in "real time" for all the users that have come and gone in the interim. Therefore, until the enforcement wait time expires (default three hours), all spots will be treated as "valid".</span><span lang="ES"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span lang="ES" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It's a spot coming from a source that does not (reliably) send PC92 [ADC] or PC16/17 records. That means anything behind a gateway into the AR-Cluster network (e.g. K1TTT). The gateway itself does supply this information to a directly connected node, but it won't be passed on because of the problems deduping PC16/17 and the fact that they are likely to be isolated nodes.
