If I understand you correctly I don't think this would be a good idea unless it is a switchable option. For one thing the DX Summary is affected by almost every window in DXBase (Log, packet/interent spots, Previous QSOs). > Right now it is updated when a spot comes in to the VHF Packet or Internet > Cluster windows.

Yes it is filtered but I find it useful to check for many things of interest that I am currently not filtering for. I constantly use the Summary window. We already have the Cluster window's flags and the Spots window's spots to tell me what I need. I also might temporarily change my alerts for a particular reason (like an all-time new one that I don't want to get lost in band-country spots) so I still want to see all spots affect the Summary window. But as a switchable option it would be ok. 73, Art W2NRA
