Hi Mark,
Spot age isn't what you think it is. I'll try to explain best as I can.
Let's say 3Y0X in Bouvet is spotted, and you need it for an all-time
new one. The first time it's spotted, you'll get an audible spot
alert ("bell" or voice announcement). Now if 3Y0X is spotted again 5
minutes later, you will NOT get another alert. Only when the newest
spot is OLDER than the spot age will you get a new alert when there is
an incoming spot for the same call. This prevents you from getting
alerted every minute when a "rare one" is on and everyone and their
brother (or sister) is making "I worked it!" spots.

p.s. I suggest you upgrade to 8.04 (latest).
