Radar Widget for Konfabulator.
Konfabulator was bought and eventually decommissioned by Yahoo!
It is my understanding that the software no longer functions properly
on modern Operating Systems.
Copy it into a directory on your computer called dxSpot.
Expand the jar file with:
jar xf dxSpot.jar Capitalization is important. The S is a capital.
run the program:
java com.dbbear.dxspot.dxSpot
or for a more powerful command line style interface:
java com.dbbear.dxspot.CommandFrame
Make sure classpath directories, etc are set correctly. You may need to invoke java or jre with the -cp (class path)
option.
For instance, if you are in the directory where you unjarred
the dxSpot classes:
prompt$> java -cp . com.dbbear.dxspot.dxSpot
Method Two - no jar expansion
Run the default dxSpot with the following:
java -jar dxSpot.jar
Method Two - no jar expansion with config
Note that this approach switches to -cp and full class name to
run
You can specify a configuration file like this
sample.config
by passing the name of the file in on the command line.
for example:
java com.dbbear.dxspot.CommandFrame sample.config
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to use <ENTER> key when entering Callsign & Grid in
dxSpot.
A "successfully changed" message will display when
you change either your Callsign or grid.
