NCDXF Beacon filter?

[NT6X]

Hi guys,

Is there a way to filter out NCDF Beacon spots in the Cluster? I have them filtered out at the cluster level but for some reason, they are still displayed in Log4OM.

Mike,

Are you using the ve7cc cluster or one of the associated nodes?

If so here is a "work-a-round" that Lee Sawkins has provided trying to get those beacons blocked/filtered.

Below is the quoted/copied/pasted text from Lee Sawkins about this issue.

"There is a KEYWORD filter. This filter uses the comment's field of spots.
Entering the command "SET/FILTER KEYWORD/REJ BEACON,NCDXF" will reject spots that contain any of the keywords such as BEACON or NCDXF. Enter as many keywords as you want.

I can't address all clusters, but the ve7cc and associated nodes will respond to this command.

Also ... Log4OM can't filter that out ... it is up to the clusters and related filters there.

All clusters have such a filter command as far as I know

Yes, I use VE7CC to set my filters at the node. There's a check box on the set-up tab that turns beacon spots on and off. I have it unchecked (off). I don't get them in VE7CC, but I still get them in Log4OM. Weird, right?

I'll reset all my VE7CC filters and redo them and see if that fixes it.

Thanks, guys!

Mike,

Yes, I'm aware that the CC User interface has the check box you noted. However it is not working due to so many changes in how the beacons are being routed anymore.

Lee has been worked on a solid solution for a couple months now.

In the meantime he provided the information I shared in the post above that pretty much keeps the beacons spots from showing up.

I follow both his CC User and CC Cluster reflectors to try and help keep up with that information.

Enter in the command I posted above that is within the italicized text.

That will stop your beacon spots.
