Configuring JT Skimmer to Interoperate With DXLab
tnx to Dick W3OA
JT Skimmer is a freeware, open source 64-bit Windows applicaton for Radio Amateurs. Its main purpose is to monitor the band for digital signals and decode multiple WSJT-X modes, on multiple frequencies, 24 hours a day - and help the operator catch band openings and activity from the rare entities.
Basic configuration settings are documented here.
To configure JT Skimmer to convey decoded callsigns as spots to SpotCollector:
Configure JT Skimmer by clicking on Tools / Settings to open the Settings dialog
in the User section
specify your Callsign
specify your Grid Square
in the Message Distribution section
set DX Cluster Enabled to true
set DX Cluster TCP Port to 7310
set WSJT-X User Packets Enabled to false
set Save to File to true or false as you wish

configure SpotCollector: on the Configuration window's Spot Sources tab, choose an available "row" in the Telnet DXClusters panel
set the Host address to 127.0.0.1
set the Port to 7310
set the Caption to JT Skimmer
set the Username to your callsign
clear the Password
check the Enable, Auto, and Hide boxes
