|
||
<p>The ON4KST Chat is the de-facto standard for skeds on the 144 MHz and higher bands. KST4Contest enhances the chat experience with contest-specific features:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Worked marking</strong>: Stations already worked are highlighted visually, synchronised directly from your logging software via UDP.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Sked direction detection</strong>: When a station calls another one from your direction, it is highlighted green and bold.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>QRG detection</strong>: KST4Contest automatically reads frequencies from the chat traffic and shows them in the user list.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>AirScout interface</strong>: Reflectable aircraft are shown directly in the user list.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Built-in DX cluster server</strong>: Spots are sent directly to your logging software.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Dark mode</strong> (from v1.26): Easy on the eyes during night-time operation.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Multi-channel login</strong> (from v1.26): Simultaneously logged into two chat categories.</li>
|
||
</ul>
