OFFSETS


JAGUAR PRO ONLY

There are three types of offsets in JAGUAR:

All offsets are presented as offset FLAGS (see FLAGS for more details).

In addition to the FLAGS, offsets are also displayed as "offset balls" below the SPECTOR curve. These dots are always visible but due to large numbers of offsets many of them are overlapping and all the names can't be shown. By default the positions are based on the MWLI offsets (taken from your active TURTLE edition), but if you have FLAGS displayed, the system always loads dynamically the latest offset situation from the selected source (= Kapsi/MWLI/My Offsets), Clicking any of the balls tunes the playback to that exact offset and right clicking the ball triggers the STATION MENU.

When a new offset is observed, it is recommended that you share your offset observation with fellow DXers and log the new value to the system - the logging process has been made as easy as possible.

At the moment we collect the offset data to our Kapsi server because we need services that MWLI can not provide. If you want to log the offset also to the MWLI offsets list, you can use the standard MWLI services for that. Generally it would be optimal to keep all the global offset information in one place, hopefully this will be possible in the future.

HOW TO


The offsets can be displayed on the SPECTRA displays enabling the FLAGS from TOOLBAR > FLAGS and the offsets shown are based on the selected continent.

Offset monitoring/analysis/updates require that calibration is on spot (see KALIBRATE).

If you notice that the current offset value on the flag is not on a correct position, just

The new value is added to the system automatically (and visible to other JAGUAR users immediately). Your P-TAG is also updated as "LOGGED" (if the station is not yet tagged).

There are also cases where there is no earlier offset listed and you can't relocate the flag, but you can add a new offset in the following way:

The update history can be shown right-clicking the FLAG (see FLAGS for the details).
