Connecting 6400 with SliceMaster and CW Skimmer to RBN/Aggregator

M0TNX · June 2022

Hello Flex Folk. :)
I trialled CW Skimmer on my (t)rusty 7300 Icom and it seemed to work ok whilst feeding the RBN.

I've asked a question today in the io group of RBN and the response was, well, a little muted.

My IT knowledge isn't immense by anyone's standards but I seem to fudge my way through things. Getting the 6400 to talk to RBN via CW Skimmer is proving a challenge.

Please may I ask the members of the forum for assistance in trying to feed some spots to RBN?

With thanks in advance.

Hello Kev,

I cannot imagine why your 6400 as the input CW Skimmer should result in an issue when the 7300 does not.

One of the more common methods is using Aggregator. Without a long description here, which might not be of interest to you, I suggest instead looking at The RBN Aggregator - Reverse Beacon Network which shows you how CW Skimmers send to RBN.

Also for interest see Getting hooked up to Reverse Beacon - KB6NU's Ham Radio Blog from another Flex user.
