How to Post Two Receivers' Output to the RBN under Two Different Receiver Names

As outlined in my post a couple of weeks ago, it is not possible, using a single Aggregator, to post spots from the two receivers in an RP-16 to the RBN under separate receiver names.  Fortunately, Dick Williams, W3OA, the author of the Aggregator, has figured out a work-around.  Here's his solution:

1)  Update Aggregator to version 6.2.  Aggregator will now show the name of its executable file in the title bar at the top of its window.  This enables you to determine which Aggregator instance the window refers to.

2) Aggregator was running from C:\Ham Stuff\Aggregator. I created a new folder, C:\Ham Stuff\Aggregator2, and copied Aggregator.exe from the original folder to the new one.  Also copy BADCALLS.txt if you are using that filter.

3) Rename Aggregator.exe in the new folder to Aggregator2.exe.

4) In your first Aggregator instance go to the “Secondary Skimmers” tab, find the line which connects to the second SkimSrv instance, click the “D” button, and uncheck the “Auto Connect?” box.

5) Again in your first Aggregator instance go to the “FT#” tab and uncheck the “Use?” box for each source which receives spots from the “Rig Numbers” on the right half of the FT#StartUp window, i.e SkimSrv2.  Then click the “Apply Changes” button.

6) In your second SkimSrv instance go to the “Operator” tab and update the entries there as necessary.  The callsign should be the SSID you want to use for that Skimmer.  (I used W3OA-2.)

7) Start your second Aggregator instance and go to the “Connections” tab to set the second SkimSrv instance as the “Primary Skimmer Connection” for this Aggregator instance.  While on this tab change the “Local User Port Number” so it's not the same as in the first Aggregator instance.

8) Complete setting up the second Aggregator instance paying particular attention to the “Spot Filters”, “Patt 3Ch.lst”, and “FT#” tabs.  On the “FT#” tab add the sources you disabled in the first Aggregator instance in step 5. Then click the “Apply Changes” button.

9) Return to the first Aggregator instance, go to the “Associate Pgms” tab, and add the second Aggregator instance.
