:A Syntax : A [msg] (cr)
Send a local announcement: (sends [msg] to the local users).
See also the command: A/F
:Announce Syntax : A [msg] (cr)
Send a local announcement: (sends [msg] to the local users).
See also the command: A/F
:A/F Syntax : A/F [msg] (cr)
If /F is added to A, this command sends the [msg] to all the users actually connected to the cluster network.
:SET/H Syntax : SET/H (cr)
This command informs the other users that you are back in the shack. It should be used AFTER a SET/NOHere has been sent. Your callsign will now display normally without brackets to the other users.
See also the command: SET/NOH
:SET/HERE Syntax : SET/Here (cr)
This command informs the other users that you are back in the shack. It should be used AFTER a SET/NOHere has been sent. Your callsign will now display normally without brackets to the other users.
See also the command: SET/NOH
:SET/FILTER Syntax : SET/FILTER <band|all|vlf|hf|vhf|uhf|shf|all|ssb|cw|rtty> <...> ...
This command is used to maintain what DX announcements are allowed for each user.
DxFiltering is done by the user. Filtering may be done by mode (CW, SBB or RTTY), and band : 2km, 160m, 80m, ..., 1cm, 6mm.
Some special properties are available :
VLF = 2km
HF = 160m 80m 40m 30m 20m 17m 15m 12m 10m
VHF = 6m 4m 2m 135cm
UHF = 70cm 34cm 23cm 13cm
SHF = 5cm 3cm 1cm 6mm (even if I know that neither 1cm not 6mm are SHF ...)
all = all bands, all modes
If you precede the property with an exclamation mark (!), it removes the property from the filter.
Examples :
Assuming that the filter feature is disable, if you issue the following command sequence :
SET/FILTER HF SSB : You'll receive only HF spots in SSB segment SET/FILTER !80m : 80m meters spots will be rejected SET/FILTER VHF UHF SHF : Add VHF, UHF and SHF bands to the filter
If you want to receive VHF, UHF and SHF bands only : SET/FILTER VHF UHF SHF or SET/FILTER ALL !VLF !HF
SET/FILTER with no argument shows the current filter status.
:SET/NOH Syntax : SET/NOH (cr)
This command informs the other users that you are NOT in the shack. It should be used if you are not available. From then on, your call will display in brackets (call) to the other users.

This command allows you to inform the cluster with your geographic position. It will be broadcasted to the cluster network.
:SET/NAME Syntax : SET/NAME [prenom]
This command allows you to inform the cluster with your name. It will be broadcasted on the cluster network to maintain the users database on each cluster node.
:SET/QTH Syntax : SET/QTH [qth]

SH/DX/10 (10 last DX spots)
SH/DX 40 (5 last DX spots on the 40m band)
SH/DX 2 PA (5 last DX spots with PA stations on the 2m band)
:SH/DXCC This command interrogates the DXCC database and returns an information on specified DX (a prefix must be specified)
** Display of a specific DX : Syntax : SH/DXCC <two_letters_prefix> Example: SH/DXCC CN
** Display of a prefix group or sub-group : Syntax : SH/DXCC <group> Example: SH/DXCC T Syntax : SH/DXCC <sub-group> Example: SH/DXCC H-1

Sub-groups C-1 = CO-CY H-1 = HK-HZ T-1 = TJ-TZ V-1 = VK-VK0
F = F -FM K = K -KH5 U = UA-UH V-2 = VP-VP8
F-1 = FO-FY K-1 = KH6-KP U-1 = UI-UR V-3 = VP9-VU
Z = Z2-ZK Z-1 = ZL-ZS
