I'm just curious, why do you 'check' and 'uncheck'. Is it to prevent spots from sounding alarms/populating the windows during daylight hours when there is no chance of hearing the stations?
If so, you may be interested in a cluster software called ARUser (and sometimes called CCUser). It has vrey very good cluster spot filtering that could be used to eliminate undesirable cluster spots along with undesirable ann/full messages etc. Plus a lot more features. It's free and available at http://www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/default.htm#prog CCUser doesn't have a specific 'Time' filter, but that may be a good feature. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert C.
