DX Cluster and Spots

Servers

Add multiple cluster servers (Settings). They auto-reconnect; one is the master used for sending commands. The Cluster tab and the Main-view cluster pane share the same live feed.

Filter sidebar

A show/hide filter sidebar (shared by the Cluster tab and the Main pane):

  • Callsign search, hide worked, group duplicates.
  • Filter by band / mode / status / source.

Per-spot status and tuning

Each spot is coloured by status relative to your log:

  • new (entity never worked), new-band, new-slot, worked.

Click a spot to tune the rig (fills the callsign into the entry strip). A multi-band Band Map shows panadapter-style strips per band.

POTA spots are tagged with their park reference (via api.pota.app).

Sending a spot

Use the Send Spot window to announce a DX spot on the master cluster: callsign + frequency + a message. The frequency defaults to the live CAT frequency (full resolution, including sub-kHz).

Spot alerts

Tools → Alert management — Log4OM-style alert rules on call / country / band / mode / spotter, with sound, visual and e-mail notification. Active alerts appear as a discreet bell in the entry strip; click it for the list. Alerts are kept briefly and only shown when active.
