Hallo Ernst-Jan, 

what do you mean with that? There are two ways to show the cluster data:
1.: full info, as the cluster sends it
2.: spot info, showing frequency, call and time

You can switch betreen these with ctrl-a. During a contest (2) is the default.

The latter (2.) produces the tlfmaster file for Xplanet, the former (1) does 
not. This works also in BANDMAP or NEEDED mode.

If you have problems with this, I'd be interested to get a copy of a cluster 
log file to see the format. I am normally using PI5TUE or k1ttt.net, and I 
have never had problems.

When your system supports the ports (check with minicom) , you can just say:
RIGPORT=/dev/ttyS2 or even 
RIGPORT=/dev/ttyUSB1
Tlf supports this.

I have not been lucky yet to persuade my Debian system to understand the 
/dev/ttyUSBx, I am now waiting for a PCI 2x serial card for the extra ports 
(needed for the RTTY controller)...



73, and success
