PACKET CLUSTER TUNE FUNCTION
DX Packet Cluster is a packet network consisting of
nodes and stations who are interested in DXing and
contesting. If one station finds a DX station on the air,
he or she sends a notice to his or her node. This node
then passes the information to all its local stations as
well as to another node. This transceiver can display
received DX information and hold the latest information
on up to 10 DX stations.
