I now have the Telnet Server feeding spots to my Flex 8600 Panadapater and that's pretty neat. 
But a related issue on spots: The SKM Server is operating as advertised, in fact on multiple slices. But none  of the stations being received and decoded in the SKM are appearing in the Flex panadapater. Any suggestions on where to look to get this fixed?

Checkbox Telnet Server->Addidional->Send SKM spot to panorama.

I have those checked- but still not getting SKM 
skimmer spots to Flex 8600 Panadapter- see screen shot.

Okay, show me a screenshot of the skimmers tab.

There seems to be an issue when function 599 is enabled.  Disable function 599 and restart the SDC.
I'll try to figure out the cause later.

Paul,
How do you get SDC to print out what the DX chasers are sending?  I'm only copying what the DX station is sending at the bottom of the screen.  I see the traces all up the screen but they are not being decoded.

Can anyone tell me what setting is required to get the decoding on the vertical traces?  As I mentioned above, I'm only getting decoding on the selected signal, which shows at the bottom of the window.

What are "vertical traces"?
Perhaps you meant horizontal tickers (Creeping Lines)?
Please see manual: SKM Server -> Creeping Lines.

I am back to Not Seeing SKM decoded spots/call signs in my Flex 8600 Panadapter. So I have two slices running, and a SKM Skimmer on each slice. I am seeing lots of call signs being decoded  in the creeping traces but no or an occasional call sign shows in the panadapter. So something is still not correct in my setup.  If I turn Telnet spots on they show up in the panadapter. See screen shots

Paul, the panadapter will only display stations that are operating in Run/CQ mode. Why is it necessary to display call signs on the panadapter that were randomly encountered in the transmission text?
