- 18:35, 24 January 2023 Filtering (From version 1.45) (hist | edit) [6,430 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Filtering (From version 1.45)== ===General filter rules=== Upto v1.44 it was not possible for the user to set their own filters. From v1.45 though that has all changed. It is now possible to set filters for just about anything you wish. If you have just updated from an older version of DXSpider you will need to update your new filters. You do not need to do anything with your old filters, they will be renamed as you update. There are 3 basic commands involved in...")
- 18:35, 24 January 2023 Mail (hist | edit) [4,612 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Mail== You can send and receive both personal mail and bulletins with DXSpider quite easily. ===The "directory" command=== To list mail you would use the DIRECTORY command. On its own, this command will output the last ten messages received by the node, either to or from yourself or bulletins such as "DX" and "ALL". As with other commands you can display more by specifying a number with the command. You should be aware that Spider will accept these commands by se...")
- 18:34, 24 January 2023 Talk mode (hist | edit) [1,228 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Talk mode== You can send a single comment or start a dedicated talk session to another user by using the TALK command. Talk mode is used to send a one line comment or greeting to a specific user connected either at your node or another in the network. You can also enter into a dedicated talk session with another user. Talks will be automatically forwarded to other nodes if the station you are talking to is not connected locally. You can find out who is connected...")
- 18:34, 24 January 2023 Nodes and users (hist | edit) [3,147 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Nodes and users== You can check which nodes are connected in the network, who is logged on locally, who is logged on at all the nodes or even just one node in particular. This is handy if you wish to see whether a friend is connected at the node they use. To see who is connected to the nodes, the SHOW/CONFIGURATION command is used. Example: show/configuration show/configuration/nodes show/configuration (node_call) show/configuration (prefix) The first of our f...")
- 18:33, 24 January 2023 Announcements (hist | edit) [1,120 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Announcements== ===Making announcements=== Occasionally, you may wish to post something that does not fall into the normal parameters for a DX callout. You may wish to tell everybody connected that 10 FM is open for example, or ask if anyone knows the QSL manager for a certain callsign etc. You can do this using the ANNOUNCE command. Example: announce 10 FM is open in IO84NB to europe. That would let everyone know locally that this was the case, however it woul...")
- 18:32, 24 January 2023 Headings and propagation (hist | edit) [2,776 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Headings and propagation== There are three commands in DXSpider to help you get the best DX possible. These are SHOW/SUN, SHOW/MOON and SHOW/HEADING. These commands will only work for you if you have entered your personal details. They use your entered location as a reference, so if you have not entered it or have entered it incorrectly they will not return the correct information. ===Sun=== The SHOW/SUN command can be used in three different ways. It can be use...")
- 18:32, 24 January 2023 Getting and posting DX (hist | edit) [3,460 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Getting and posting DX== When all is said and done, this is the main function of a DX cluster. In its simplest form you can just connect to the node and you will start to receive DX spots almost immediately! You can check on recent postings in either a general manner or on a particular band or mode. You can even check DX by callsign or a fragment of a callsign. Of course, once you get the hang of things, it is expected that you start posting some yourself! After al...")
- 18:31, 24 January 2023 Setting your personal details (hist | edit) [954 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Setting your personal details== Once logged in to the cluster, you should set your details so that anybody who wishes to contact you can find out who and where you are. There are four items to set, your name, qth, location and home node. Setting these details also allows the use of the SHOW/HEADING and SHOW/SUN commands from within the cluster. Unless you set your QTH and location, these commands cannot function. Once you have set your name, DXSpider will greet you...")
- 18:30, 24 January 2023 Logins and logouts (hist | edit) [2,623 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Logins and logouts== You might not think that there is a lot of point of including a section on how to log in and out of DXSpider. However, you would be suprised at the difficulties some people have in simply getting in and out of the cluster! There are several ways a login might be achieved, dependant on how the sysop has DXSpider configured. It is impossible for me to cover all variations but here are the basic ones. ==AX25 logins== Simplicity itself. The usua...")
