37 <P>Create an 'accept this announce' line for a filter. An accept filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it ispassed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:-

72 <P>Create an 'accept this routing PC Protocol' line for a filter. An accept filter line means that if a PC16/17/19/21/24/41/50 matches this filter it is passed thru that interface. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:-
75 call <prefixes> the callsign of the thingy call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G) call_itu <prefixes or numbers> or: G,GM,GW call_zone <prefixes or numbers> call_state <states> eg: VA,NH,RI,NH origin <prefixes> really the interface it came in on origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G) origin_itu <prefixes or numbers> or: G,GM,GW origin_zone <prefixes or numbers> origin_state <states> eg: VA,NH,RI,NH
81 acc/route gb7djk call_dxcc 61,38 (send only UK+EIRE nodes) acc/route gb7djk call gb7djk (equiv to SET/ISOLATE)
84 you can now use 'by' as a synonym for 'call' so:
87 by = call by_dxcc = call_dxcc

117 <P>Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter. An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it ispassed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:-

123 'call' means the callsign that has spotted 'by' whoever.For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined inSHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -this is more efficient than saying simply: freq HF (but don't gettoo hung up about that)some examples:-
126 acc/spot 1 on hf/cw acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)

254 <P>It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to thatgroup. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seemto work too well anyway.This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both otherDXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>). You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-
257 JOIN FOC (where FOC is the group name)
260 To leave a group type:-
266 You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
272 and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to thesame node as you, by typing:-
278 To send a message to a group type:-
281 CHAT FOC hello everyone

388 <P><CODE><B>dbcreate <name> cmd <dxspider command></B> make a local command available as a DB</CODE></P>
389 <P>DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't actuallycreate anything, just defines it.The databases that are created are simple DB_File hash databases, they are therefore already 'indexed'.You can define a local database with the first form of the command eg:
395 You can also chain databases with the addition of the 'chain' keyword. This will search each database one after the other. A typical example is:
398 DBCREATE sdx_qsl chain sql_ad
401 No checking is done to see if the any of the chained databases exist, infact it is usually better to do the above staement first then do each ofthe chained databases.Databases can exist offsite. To define a database that lives on another node do:
404 DBCREATE buckmaster remote gb7dxc
407 Remote databases cannot be chained; however, the last database in a a chain can be a remote database eg:
410 DBCREATE qsl chain gb7dxc
413 To see what databases have been defined do:
416 DBAVAIL (or it will have been aliased to SHOW/COMMAND)
419 It would be normal for you to add an entry into your local Aliases fileto allow people to use the 'SHOW/<dbname>' style syntax. So you wouldneed to add a line like:-
422 's' => [ .. .. '^sh\w*/buc', 'dbshow buckmaster', 'dbshow', .. .. ],
431 to work as they may be used to.You can also make local commands available as 'pseudo' databases. Youcan therefore make spider special commands available as a database. Iimagine that this will be primarily useful for remote access from legacy nodes. For example:-
434 DBCREATE dxqsl cmd show/dxqsl
437 You also use one of these databases in a chain. This may be useful locally. See DBIMPORT for the importing of existing AK1A format data to databases.See DBSHOW for generic database enquiry</P>

614 <P>This command is useful in scripts and so forth for printing theline that you give to the command to the output. You can use thisin user_default scripts and the SAVE command for titling and so forthThe script will interpret certain standard "escape" sequences as follows:-
617 \t - becomes a TAB character (0x09 in ascii) \a - becomes a BEEP character (0x07 in ascii) \n - prints a new line

664 <P><CODE><B>filtering...</B> Filtering things in DXSpider</CODE></P>
665 <P>There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. Theyall use the same general mechanism.In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter whichcan have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-
668 accept/spots ..... reject/spots .....
671 where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. Thereare filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops)connects. See each different accept or reject command reference formore details.There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter andone to show you what you have set. They are:-
674 clear/spots 1 clear/spots all
683 There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can applythe principles to all types of filter.There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you usedepends entirely on how you look at the world and what is leastwriting to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of anylength) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the actionyou have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and acceptmeans gimme it).The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject'filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance)) then ifa spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will getit BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don'tmatch are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-
686 accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
689 then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 1415 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:
692 reject/spots on hf/cw
695 Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTAand will work it even on CW then you could say:-
698 reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
701 But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-
704 accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
707 which is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other untilyou are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them(actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) butdon't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you getwithout ringing up the sysop for help.Another useful addition now is filtering by US state
710 accept/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,ME
713 You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for yourown understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-
716 reject/spots 1 on hf/cw reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
719 What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can'tread any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and alsorejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someonein Europe.This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 inthis case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits'0'-'9' are available.You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You canuse any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you wantit. There are things called precedence rules working here which meanthat you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because,without it, will assume:-
722 (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
725 annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - usebrackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' isjust 'and by_zone'.If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or morelines of it or clear out one line. For example:-
728 reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
737 To remove the filter in its entirty:-
743 There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:-
746 clear/announce clear/wcy clear/wwv
749 ADVANCED USERS:-Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment. my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EUcan be written with a mixed filter, eg:
752 rej/spot on hf/cw acc/spot on 0/30000 acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
755 each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept'slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match,the default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for'accept'. In the example what happens is that the reject is executedfirst, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which letsthru everything else on HF.The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.</P>

1204 will save the output of the normal command "show/dxstat" to the file"dxstats" in the files area.You can have some extra flags to the save which will either date stamp or time stamp or both the filename so:-

1210 The -a flag means append to the file instead of overwriting it.You can have more than one command on the line, to do this you MUSTenclose each command in double quotes (") eg:-

1219 save /tmp/a "sh/hfstats","blank +","sh/vhfstats"

1222 You can only write into places that the cluster has permission for (whichis that of the "sysop" user [which had BETTER NOT BE "root"]), you will need to create any directories you want to put stuff in beforehand as well.It is likely that you will want to run these commands in a crontab type situation.

1445 <P>From 1.35 onwards neighbouring nodes are pinged at regular intervals (seeSET/PINGINTERVAL), usually 300 seconds or 5 minutes. There is a 'pump-up'counter which is decremented on every outgoing ping and then reset tothe 'obscount' value on every incoming ping. The default value of thisparameter is 2. What this means is that a neighbouring node will be pinged twice at (default) 300 second intervals and if no reply has been heard just beforewhat would be the third attempt, that node is disconnected.If a ping is heard then the obscount is reset to the full value. Usingdefault values, if a node has not responded to a ping within 15 minutes,it is disconnected.You can set this parameter between 1 and 9.It is STRONGLY recommended that you don't change the default.</P>

But if you do the value you enter is treated as minutes up 30 and secondsfor numbers greater than that.This is used also to help determine when a link is down at the far end(as certain cluster software doesn't always notice), see SET/OBSCOUNTfor more information.If you must change it (and it may be useful for internet connected nodeson dynamic IP addresses that go away after a set time of usage) the timecan be specified as:-

1925 <P>This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contactinga station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modestpower of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signallevels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths onspecified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful forpaths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracyfor paths shorter or longer than this.The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy andused to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter andreceiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complexthan the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,such as the Voice of America.The command will display some header information detailing itsassumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes andbearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for whichthe system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means thatthere is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likelyto be noisy. By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. Youcan specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no ofhours required after the prefix. For example:-

2230 <P>Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the clustersystem. You can send it to anyone you can see with a SHOW/CONFIGURATION command, they don't have to be connected locally.The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connectedwith restricted information. This usually means that they don't send the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can onlysee GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use thesecond form of the talk message.If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text messageout and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that ashort message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a'Talking' frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send willgo to the station that you asked for. All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on yourterminal.If you want to do something (such as send a spot) you preceed the normal command with a '/' character, eg:-
