getting spots to work on my 6400m

Harry Dudley

I am struggling with what to enter to get the telnet or dx summit source to bring spots to my radio. I see where to enter it on the Slicemaster settings tab, but don't know what to enter...I am not a computer **** and could use some help if you can provide.   Thanks, 
Ive downloaded version VO..10.7c

Alan,

The syntax is borrowed from the spec for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI).  It is the IETF standard that web addresses are based on. 

Loosely speaking, the part after the / and before the following / or ? (which ever comes first) specifies the username, password, and network location of a resource (like a web site or remote server).  The part after the first / or ? requests a specific part of the resource.  The part before the / specifies the protocol to be used to interact with the resource.

In other words... I was lazy and didnt want to write a complicated user interface to get all of this information from the user. I'm sure I'll get around to it though.  

The Slice Master README spells out some of the details and offers a few examples.  From there you just need to replace the bits you care about.

Apologies for the confusion.

Don, i really appreciate your help.  I have entered the info you provided and nothing is coming up.  Not sure what I have not done but it states “no connection” at the bottom of the Slicemaster window. Do you know what I may have not done?  I only completed the settings tab as I thought the other tabs were not applicable. They are both empty tabs.

Harry,

If you are seeing the 'no connection' message, that's a whole different bucket of snails.  That problem usually comes done to one of two things. 

The most common is that when you first ran Slice Master you missed the dialog from Windows asking you to grant Slice Master permission to use your network.  Without that permission, Slice Master wont be able to connect to your radio. 

The other common cause is that Slice Master doesnt support SmartLink... so you need to run it on the same local network as your radio.  Are you connecting to your radio with SmartLink?
