[Dxbase] DX Clusters?

[Gary AL9A]

David,

Yes, I leave the VE7CC CC User program running alongside DXb in another 
monitor.  Once you have CC User installed and running click on the Settings 
tab and look toward the right side in the "Technical Stuff" box.  There it 
says "Listening on Port 7300".

To get DXb working with CC User you will probably need to modify your HOSTS 
file.  Click on File/Modify Hosts File... and look at some of the entries in 
this file.  Make note of the path where this HOSTS file is located on your 
system and copy down a couple of nodes and their position in the file.  Now 
close the Edit Host File and go back to the Internet tab in User Options. 
In the IP Host window scroll down and verify that the nodes you saw in the 
HOSTS file are reflected here in the correct positions.  This is to make 
sure you will be editing the correct HOSTS file on your computer.

If you are sure you have found the correct HOSTS file go back to File/Modify 
Hosts File... and enter the following line in the file.

127.0.0.1:7300 #CCUSER

The 127.0.0.1 directs DXb to listen use this local address on Port 7300, the 
same one CC User is listening to.  Save the new addition to the HOSTS file 
and close it.  Now go back to the Internet tab and in the IP Host window 
find the new line you just added to the file and click on it to select it. 
This is now the DX Cluster DXb will communicate with.  Now in DXb go to 
Windows/New Internet Custer... and the Internet Cluster window will open and 
log onto whatever DX cluster you are connected to via CC User, in my case 
VE7CC-1.  Now in the Internet CMDs toolbar click on an icon like SH/DX and 
your DX Info window will populate with all the recent spots seen by CC User 
on the DX Cluster you are connected to.  As new spots are received they are 
shown in DXb provided they pass all the filters you have setup in both CC 
User and DXb.

73,

Hi Bob
I looked briefly at the VE7CC online instructions yesterday. Very impressive 
and extensive. Glad to hear it will talk to DXb.  Do you leave the VE7CC 
program running along side DXb?  Will DXb access it as if it were the node?

I use VE7CC packet program and it will talk to DXbase2007.  You can set what
ever filters you want.

Hi everyone
I am wondering which is the preferred DX Cluster to use for DXbase?After
getting v1.10 installed and running I set the cluster to Neil's K3NC.
Is there any way to filter out the DX reports from stations on other
continents?
