Hi Kipper, I’m finding that in the latest update, CD checker isn’t deleting duplicate DCs before sending them to SOL. Is this a bug, a feature, or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Awesome tool by the way

I discovered a small bug in this version which has an adverse affect on the server and will cause the application to crash if there are no boats in the AIS list. If you have already downloaded, please re-download and replace the .jar file.
