Spots

OMG, found another item that will not work? SPOTS. The list gets longer.
Settings> Spot box ok. But nothing doing. 
Using Log4OM and 6400M. Found nothing in either manual about Spots.

Hi Andy Thinking you may be looking in your hardware manual rather than checking the SmartSDR manual where there is an extensive amount of information on setting up spots. Starting around page 111 There is also a good explanation of how the spots from third party software is displayed. I’m guessing but a lot of other SmartSDR things puzzling if you only peruse the hardware manual may make sense after checking the SmartSDR manual.

No Andy.  It is not nuts, and it is not "Daisy Chaining".   Computers are designed to let you add an almost infinite number of functions.  To add a new feature or function, we can install programs.  We can add spots, photo editing, check printing with quicken, Tqsl for LOTW uploads, Automatic backup, calculators and similations software, filter design programs, sattelite tracking, etc, etc, etc.   It is not daisy chaining, it is adding another feature.    And on your cell phone they are called Apps.  You can add almost anything you want.   Both my computer and my mobile phone each have close to 200 apps or programs.

It is a free country, and no one will force you to download a program and read for 10 minutes.  But the features are free if you are willing to.  

And, this is not replacing your familiar log program.  This is only another stand-alone utility that can do a lot of other stuff with your Flex radio, including adding spots. I am not trying to be rude at all, but I wish you could be outside yourself reading what you sound like on this thread :-)

We can put a cookie on a silver tray in front of you and say that it is free, but
we can not and will not force you to lean forward and take the cookie.  :-)

Cheers, and happy new year.

Hi Alex, the download link I found on the page you referenced appears to be no longer valid. I found the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyx2nbk42cv5exq/H-Spot.exe?dl=0 Does someone have another link?

It works and it is documented in Chapter 30 of the SmartSDR Software User Guide v3.x
