Ahhhh, I guess I never used a wild card before with DX4. I must have used known
callsigns in the alert box. Placing a known FULL callsign in the alert box does
work.
BUT we don't always know the callsign B4.
Tnx so much for your extra effort, and putting this issue to sleep, hi.

The help info I gave you was from 8.04, which is what I'm using. As it turns
out, I have the manual from 5.01 and in the callsign alerts section it doesn't
say anything about the ability to use wildcards.

Tnx David,
This what I had done, I think it used to work. It would flag
the Alert callsigns RED needed new regardless even if worked previously, if I
remember correctly.
I have in alert box PJ2*,PJ4*,PJ5*,PJ7*
DX Window is not responding to the 'always on alert"
Tnx agn, 73 Bernie/WO2N.
PS: tnx for the help file info.> I using Ver 5.3 if it matters

If you have the updated country file from AD1C they should show up
flagged in the appropriate colors whenever they appear. If you had them as a
callsign alert it'd show up on every spot, which I'd assume would get annoying
pretty quickly.
However, here's the help file info for that field:
Callsign Alert
If you specify a callsign in this field, DX spots will be monitored for
this callsign regardless of band or mode. The spot will have the same color as
if it was a new country. Multiple calls can be specified by separating the
calls by a comma. In addition, you can use the '*' (asterisk) as a wild
character match as the first or the last character in a callsign. For example,
the string P5*,*/P5 will match any North Korea station, including a portable
callsign. In addition to callsigns specified in this field, callsigns specified
in the membership list using the '@' character can be treated as if they were
specified here. You will also have to enable the 'Check @ callsigns' option on
the Packet2 tab.
