▸ Admin · stations for family and friends

Each station is a DigitalCat of its own on this computer: its own address, password, callsign and links, starting at boot. Its person logs in with the starting password and sets their own in Setup.

Your domain (each station's address is name.domain)

Caddy (each station gets its own file in DigitalCat's caddy folder; your Caddyfile imports them with one line)

Add a station

Family members (the Family channel only — no radios)

They log in at the family address with their name and password, and can change the password themselves. Hams in the family use their own station instead: tick Family on it above.

▸ Audio

Even volume (automatic level)

Brings every station on every radio to about the same level: loud ones down quickly, quiet ones up gently (at most 8×), silence left alone. While it is on, each radio's receive gain is not used. Each row's Vol is still your own volume.

▸ Row order

The order of the radios on the page — the one you use most at the top. Changes at once; kept on this device.

▸ Callsign lookup

Each caller is looked up as the call comes in: name, place and grid show under the callsign. QRZ.com first (full details need a QRZ XML subscription), then HamDB.org and Callook.info, which need no account. Answers are kept 30 days. The password stays on this computer.

QRZ username (empty: don't use QRZ)

QRZ password (leave empty to keep the saved one)

▸ Password

New password (at least 6 characters; leave empty to keep the current one)

Remove the password (only the DigitalCat computer itself can use it then)
