I am still having trouble. Today three stations that should have triggered alerts did not. I fired up my old 5.03 and each station was flagged in red as I expected. I noticed in the 5.03 Packet 1 tab there is a selection for "New band/mode warning" that I have set to "Adds to award." This selection does not appear in 6.02. Is it no longer needed? Hidden?
