SliceMaster with CW Skimmer, Clusters and N1MM

Did you know you can use SliceMaster to be your DX Spot aggregator? It can support 4 DX Clusters plus CW Skimmer.

If you use SliceMaster to launch CW Skimmer, you can use the Telnet Aggregation Server in SliceMaster as your DX Cluster server. This way, N1MM only needs to connect to SliceMaster for its DX Cluster.

Assuming all program (N1MM, etc) are running on the same computer you would have N1MM connect to a DX Cluster (telnet) to this address:


(Window/Telnet/Clusters/Edit Favourites)

127.0.0.1:7285

Now, we have N1MM getting DX Spots from SliceMaster and SliceMaster is already getting spots from CW Skimmer.

Why don't I Telnet directly to CW Skimmer? Well, I also want to add some external DX Cluster sources. This is where the SliceMaster Aggregator really comes in.

This is what mine looks like. You may want to change to work with your favorite DX Clusters.


Go ahead and give it a try. You really can't break anything. This is just scratching the surface.

For more details on the items you can configure on SliceMaster, have a look at the online page: https://github.com/K1DBO/slice-master-6000
