DX spotting list window at startup

Unread post by KD3NB »

RUMLOG remembers all the windows open at startup and tries to reopen them but the DX spotting window seems to be a special case. It won't open unless the terminal window is open and connected. Any way to put a delay into opening the DX Spots window at startup ? This is really a minor problem but several people have asked me about it so I thought I would pass it along for consideration in future versions.

73,

This window is empty initially. After the first spot has arrived, it comes up. Why do you want to see an empty window?
In the RUMlog Preferences-->DX Cluster-->Send commands after log in you could add the command like 'show/dx/20'. This would bring up the dx window with the latest spots.

Oh, it's a timing issue; that explains why every now and then you see the Alerts window come up right away. Your right, if I just wait the window seems to appear on its own.

The only reason you want to see the empty window is to know that you are monitoring the DX spots to the criteria you have set up.

Thanks - Ken
