Spot 1.9.10 Released on 14 February 2009.
This release is a bug release, fixing a collection of bugs reported over the past month. One major change is the removal of the automatic update feature. The library I was using did not work as well as I wanted and I felt it was annoying people so it has been removed. I will be re-writing this function over the next few weeks.

Preference window - station information
Screen Details
This is the opening display when you select the preference window. It is where you enter your station information. None of this information is sent to Abroham Neal Software, it is merely used either for licensing when you purchase or for informing the DXCluster of your name, etc.
Most of the fields are self-explanatory so I will not re-hash the obvious, but the one item that needs some explanation is having both a call sign field and a login callsign field. This is needed for some cluster systems that will not allow you to be logged into the system with the same callsign more than once. It is also handy for cluster sysops who use their regular callsign as the callsign of the cluster (i.e., my node is K3NC) and some cluster software programs will not let you log in as the cluster callsign (it used to cause CLX to terminate in fact). So when I connect to my DXCluster, I use k3nc-4 as my login callsign.
If you do not fill in a callsign, Spot uses the regular callsign.
Whenever you make changes to this information, be sure to click save before you go to another preference pane or close it.
By the way, your name must be entered exactly the same as the name you used when you purchased Spot or the license validation test will fail (and it will mistakenly think you are not licensed).
