The Public tab registers the receiver on the Web-888 directory and defines the station metadata shown to prospective listeners.

Registration Requirements

Before Register on www.rx-888.com/web/rx? can be enabled, the server enforces all of these requirements:

• a valid public connection URL is selected on the Connect tab
• a manually selected IP address is public, not a local/private address
• if a listener password is set, at least one receiver channel is configured for password-free access
• Location (lat, lon) contains a non-zero valid position
• FT8 and WSPR autorun jobs do not consume every receiver channel

The registration status may take several minutes to update after enabling registration.

Station Identity and Coverage

• Name and Location describe the receiver.
• Admin email is the operator contact address.
• Antenna describes the connected antenna system.
• Grid square accepts a 4 or 6-character Maidenhead locator and can be filled from GPS.
• Location (lat, lon) uses (latitude, longitude) format and can be filled from GPS.
• Altitude is meters above sea level.
• Display owner/admin email link on the main page? controls whether listeners see a contact link.
• Coverage frequency low/high define the directory's coverage label in kHz.

For example, 0-30000 kHz is shown as HF. Transverter ranges can produce labels such as 2 m or 70 cm. Identity fields marked by the restart indicator require a server restart.
