I just double checked it to be sure. That message from Ctrl-A goes only into the internal network, but gets displayed in the cluster message list. The idea behind Ctrl-A is to use it either as a reminder for yourself if you work without an external cluster or have a second station scanning the bands while only listening and providing spots for the main operator. > To send to the actual cluster network Ctrl-B can be used. > For actual spotting purpose IMO it's practically unusable as one has > to type in a correctly formatted (raw) spot. > On the other hand one can post with it any other kind of message, > provided the cluster accepts it... > I see three possible ways to fix that: a) Let Ctrl-B format the cluster message and send it (we loose the ability for quick general cluster messages; we can still send them via <:packet>message<:>) b) Have a key for sending a spot message and a key for a general cluster message (not sure if another key is a good idea). c) Let Ctrl-B format the cluster message, but show it to the user and allow editing before the message gets send (Flexible but would need at least a second key press - enter - besides Ctrl-B for just sending the spot.) 73, de Tom -- "Do what is needful!"
