Specifications

WOTA
TRX-Manager supports WOTA. Please refer to the WOTA web site located at
http://www.wotadb.org and the FAQ page before using this facility.
As stated on the site, Who's On the Air Database (WOTA) is a great solution! Find out who is
on the air, the band and frequency they are operating on, and their location by Country,
State, County, Grid, Lat/Long.
TRX-Manager implements the WOTA protocol. Most of the data is derived from the Location
tab on the Preferences panel. Review the fields for accuracy (If you are operating in the
United States, the QTH field should contain your county).
The specification includes a messaging protocol. You can send messages to other operators
(point to point) or to a group (broadcast to all subscribers of that group). TRX-Manager lets
you subscribe to multiple groups.
Quick launch
Open the WOTA window from the File/WOTAsubmenu and connect to the WOTA server by
activating the connection button . When the status bar indicates that you are Connected,
the upper window will fill with stations connected to the WOTA server. If upload is NOT
disabled (according to the state of the NO Uploadbutton ), you status will be uploaded
almost immediatly and your Callsign will appear in the list. The list will change as stations
modify their data (frequency, comments, operating state, etc.).
You may sort the list by clicking on a column header. Use the Comment field to set a
comment (Use the Select button to use a pre-defined comment). Next, click the Uploadarrow
. Your information is sent to the WOTA server and reflected in the List.
