    Can any help me get my call signs to show in my Flex 6400 scope ? I had them working before but now they are no longer showing

      Sorry if this seems obvious James, but do you have Spots enabled under your Settings menu?

      Also, I don't know about N3JFP (ACL), but I support spots by running FRStack connected to my radio. Is this what you are using?

    • Member ✭✭

      Yes spots is toggled on and N3JFP is in there too.And yes I run FR Stack too.

    • Member ✭✭✭✭

      Yet one more reason to run SSDR for MAC.

    • Member ✭✭✭✭

      ok, so is ACL short for N3JFP's Amateur Contact Log? If so, I don't know this software, but is it trying to generate Spots as well? If so, it could be overriding/conflicting with FRStack.

      Unfortunately, I don't have my Flex at the moment, so I can't access FRStack to show you the config settings for spots there, but maybe someone else running FRStack can chime in?

      Ok I now running my Flex 6400 without FR Stack and N3JFP ACL lets see what I get.

    • Member ✭✭

      Yes ACL is short for N3JFP Amateur contact log.

      Hi James, Just to be sure, this is the screen in SmartSDR to enable spots (I think you probably have this right):

      And this is the N3FJP Settings, DX Spotting screen:

      It needs to be enabled and you need to be connected to a Telnet Host that is either free or that you have a subscription for. Occasionally mine moves to a different Telnet Host and I have to move it back to VE7CC. Note that you have to disable spots in N3FJP to select a different Telnet Host. Then enable them again once you have the Telnet Host selected.

      I take a look meanwhile this is what N3JFP wrote me back and I quote.


      Hi James,


      Thanks for your e-mail. The only setting in AC Log (aside from enabling DX Spotting) is to select the Flex API option on the rig interface form. AC Log just hands the spots to Flex's DLL and the Flex software does the rest. There have been no changes to that code in our software whatsoever, so if you continue to have trouble, you might want to ping the Flex folks.

      Hi Peter, you might want to try this utility for even more spot utility. It can post the call of a clicked DX spot right into the Callsign box of N3FJP's ACLog (among a few other things).
