Spots not timing out Flex/Mac

[George Molnar]

 Running 19.0307 for MacOS, Flex 6600. Spots appear just fine, but do not time out at all - has anyone seen this behavior? Haven’t tried rolling back to an earlier version, but that’s probably my next step unless someone has insight.

Thanks

Rolling back to 19.0302 solved the problem.

There is no difference for this value in versions 19.0307 and 19.0302.
The spot removal program changed in one of the 19.02xx versions. The program had several fields with spot lifetime settings, which caused many questions. They were then removed, and this time is now equal to 10 minutes. The exception is the Contest module, where the spot lifetime on the panorama is synchronized with the spot lifetime in the SpotList table.

I will add a command to the program for the transceiver so that spots are always removed from the panorama in 10 minutes after their last transmission to the panorama, even after closing SDC.

If 10 minutes is too long, suggest another time; it's not a problem.

Yuri - How does the spotting transfer work? Does Smart SDR store these locally ?

You remove them from where every 10 mins ?

Interested to know..

Thanks, Yuri!

And FWIW, I rolled back to 0305 and it worked as expected. Whatever changed happened between 05 and 07.

Yuri - How does the spotting transfer work? Does Smart SDR store these locally ?

Transiver stores them and distributes them to customers. That's what I think.

In the new version, I will restore the spot lifetime setting. And I will instruct the transceiver to delete them if the SDC disconnects from it.
