[Dxbase] Internet Cluster & VHF Packet

Thu Nov 10 12:09:31 EST 2005

If you get disconnected from an internet cluster in dxbase, simply close 
the internet cluster window (click the x on the upper right hand corner 
of the internet window), then across the top of dxbase click on Window 
and select 'new internet cluster'. You will get reconnected to the same 
cluster, assuming you have a working internet connection.
If you wish to connect to a different internet cluster, then you will 
have to make a different selection in tools/options/user options/internet.
That is all there is to it.
And by the way you may care to connect to my AR-Cluster N5IN at :

If I lose the internet cluster due to some noise on the phone line, RF shutting it down, etc., I can't select the "New Internet Cluster" to restart it without shutting down DXBase completely, which takes a while, then I have to restart it from scratch. So for me, it's more trouble than it's worth to use the internet cluster with all of the restarting that takes place, unless I want to just stay off the air while it's running, hope for a nice quiet connection, or no other lockups. I haven't tried the VHF cluster functions, maybe that will be my workaround for this problem.
