On what I call the DX Spots window (as opposed to the Packet Window), right click with your mouse. You'll see a variety of options, including DXCC colors, WAZ colors and WPX colors. I called them "modes" but the program description uses "colors".
I think I've found my problem (it always seems to work that way....look at something for awhile, then ask for help and figure it out). The culprit is in Preferences/Packet1. I checked "Ignore 'Gray' spots". I simply wanted to make things less cluttered. In the case of XF4DL, I'd already worked another XF4 years ago, so I had that covered for WPX purposes. So even though I needed XF4 on, say, 30 meters, I didn't need it for WPX (and 30 meters isn't valid for WPX anyway). XF4DL would appear in a red bar on the DXCC colors (mode), but when I switched to WPX colors I'll bet XF4 was "gray" and, therefore, ignored. Gone. So when I went back to DXCC colors, it was also gone. It's a theory, I might be wrong about the cause. I've been testing my theory by unselecting the "Ignore 'Gray' spots" box in Preferences/Packet1 and so far all spots in DXCC colors seem to stay even after switching to WPX colors and back. So what's a little clutter, you should see my shack! 73, Joe KQ3F At 07:36 AM 10/21/2006 +0200, Vanderydt Theo wrote: >What do you mean by switching to different modes Joe?
