two features...Rotor and button to clear spots

Is it possible to add a function that would not only tune the radio when clicking on a spot but also automatically turn the rotor so that the rotor button would not have to then be clicked?

I read and read and could not find a way to clear the spots from the cluster display. Is there a way to do that?

Only by disconnecting and then reconnecting.

Why do you want to clear the cluster?

Turning rotor is easy on spot click, but the risk is your rotator will continuously rotate over your head :)

I will add an option for that

Thanks Terry and Daniele.

Not sure about the reason for the spot pruning. I added that question for a friend who I just got started with Log4OM.

Thanks for adding the auto rotate feature Daniele. For casual operating it would be great. If you plan to work every spot that comes up or contesting I agree....it could spin enough to lift the house. :)

Hi Greg, new release is actually under testing.
I was unable to add the rotator feature in the incoming one. I have added a note for the next one :p

p.s.
Please advise your friend that Log4Om is not duplicating spots. The new spot for an already retrieved spot will be placed on top, and NO duplicates are NEVER shown on log4om cluster.
Only UNIQUE callsigns, that is a difference with other cluster softwares.

Thanks! I'll pass that on to Steve and remind him to join the forum.

It might be useful to clear the spots as I sometimes have some of them from the previous day...
Also, as you want to change the filters of spotted countries or from countries from the cluster and leave only the new ones
Has it been already implemented?

Log4OM automatically removes spots older than 1 hour, so you cannot have spots older than 1 hour in your cluster (except for calls spotted more than one hour ago and spotted the last time in less than one hour, in that case all informations are retained)

If you click on bearings in the bottom right part of the screen the antenna will rotate following the beam indicated
