Yes indeed, Barry - Any ARCluster V6 node that has not opted out of the provision of Quality Tags can do this and other neat tricks. The full set of filter commands is at <http://ab5k.net/ArcDocsVer6/UserManual/ArcDx.htm#SetDxFilter>. Something that may not be obvious at first is that any of these filters can be preceded with a NOT, Boolean fashion. For example, Set DX Filter Skimvalid will send to you only those spots that have the V tag, while Set DX Filter NOT Skimbusted will send you everything that does not have a B tag.

I am writing an N1MM Logger-specific explanation that will be posted on the N1MM Logger reflector and here in the next couple of days.

For spots, please go to your favorite
ARC V6 or VE7CC DX cluster node.

Are there any AR Cluster clients or AR Cluster nodes that will provide

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU



Each spot sent out by AR cluster or RBN cluster now has a spot quality tag
next to it in the comment field:

V – Valid spot running  with at least three skimmers “voting” to say the
call is valid and is running on the frequency

Q – Valid spot under QSY to this new frequency or I/Q image fake spot

B – Busted spot (Both the busted and the valid call will be shown)

? – Undetermined spot  (calls with just one or two spots, before a vote can
be made by skimmers or wrong sent calls or calls prone to errors)
