Dx PACKetCluSteRS monitoR
DX PacketClusters are networks which consist of nodes
and stations who are interested in DXing and contesting. If
one station finds a DX station on the air, he (or she) sends
a notice to his (or her) node. Then this node passes the
information to all its local stations besides another node. This
transceiver can display received DX information and hold the
latest information on up to 10 DX stations. Use this function
to monitor the latest DX information in your local area. You
cannot send DX information to a node, using the function.
