Hi Kevin, Yes, it is clear, but what I said was that if I do not set up filtering in the IP cluster and I set a filtering in DX4WIN, I still get all unfiltered spots, which did not occur with my 5.03-VHF cluster configuration. But it's not a severe pbm, just question of curiosity whether dx4win is designed not to use its own filtering with IP clusters. 73, Radi

I don't _know_ how DX4Win works, but here's what I suspect. DX4Win filters what comes to it from the cluster. If the cluster is configured to filter spots, DX4Win applies its filters to that already-filtered stream. So, if your TCP/IP connection is set up to filter out all spots other than zones 14, 15 and 16, then DX4Win will only see spots for those three zones. It will apply its own filters to that stream. I hope that helps. Personally I prefer the cluster-side filtering, but that's because I'm doing more complex filters (low bands, vhf, uhf) that I find more easily configured on the cluster. That's my preference right now. I've used DX4Win's zone filters successfully, too. vy 73 Kevin K7VI Radivoj KAR wrote: >Hi, >Previously, with VHF packet cluster and dx4win 5.03, I used announce >filtering by zone of alert origin, which worked OK. >After starting using 6.03 and TCP/IP for announcement, spot window shows >packets coming from everywhere, despite that in Preferences/Packet 1 (or >RTTY) window I have entered #14,#15,#16 in Prefixes/Zones for spotters box >to limit spots only to those announced by European stations. > >I can filter spots directly via a cluster command "accept/spots by_zone >14,15,16" , but am curious is dx4win presuming this when TCP/IP is used and >in this case ignores it's own filter? > >Any comments? >73, >Radi F6GNZ > > > > >_______________________________________________ >Dx4win mailing list >Dx4win@mailman.qth.net >http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win > > >
