On the other hand, if the position is from an APRS packet, the position may be very accurate. This information will only be as accurate as the information stored in MacLoggerDX's data bases.įor example, if all that is known about the call is it's country of origin, MacLoggerDX will place the position in that country.

The Reconnect Automatically check box, if checked, will connect you to the DXCluster if the connection is dropped for a reboot of the node etc. When an item from this pop up button is selected, MacLoggerDX attempts to start a Telnet session with the node. The password is only required on some clusters and may be included in the dxclusters.dat file.
