Hi Peter, Sorry for my late reply but thanks for the info! Indeed this is a work-around but that's what it is; a work-around. Hope Neal will pick this up and put it on his to-do list :-)

You work that station on |that mode/band combination you can right-click the spot in DX INFO and |say ADD TO EXCLUDE LIST. |What that does is exclude that callsign on the spotted band and mode |from tripping any further alarms. In the "Internet Cluster" window an |excluded spot will have an E appear in the QSY column letting you know |that the spot has been excluded. You can go through the excluded calls |list (DX INFO window, right-click, VIEW EXCLUDE LIST) and just delete |entries. | |Ideally, I agree with you -- it would be nice to have a call/band/mode |combo automatically go into exclude mode once the QSO is logged. The |bigger question is this: What happens if you have a DXpedition where |operators are using unique callsigns but on the same band/mode. IIRC, |the VU7 or VU4 operation a few years ago was like this. You then have to |determine whether ALL calls set off the alarms (or are excluded) once |you make a call on that band/mode combination. Also, that exclude mode |should time out after, say, 6 months or a year. | |----------------------------------- | |Regards, | |Peter, |W2IRT | | |-----Original Message----- |From: [email protected] [mailto:dxbase- |[email protected]] |On Behalf Of Frank Bogers - ON9CC |Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 7:18 PM |To: [email protected] |Subject: [Dxbase] Change request: delete or change status of needed spot |in DX info window after logging the spotted station. | |Hi Neil & group, | | | |One other thing I'd like to have changed is the following: | |- When I work a station that is shown (and colored) in the DX |Info |window as needed, the status of that spot should change after logging |the station, or the spot should be deleted completely, or even better: |have the possibility to choose either delete completely or change |status. | | | |73 | |Frank | |ON9CC | |______________________________________________________________ |Dxbase mailing list |Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase |Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm |Post: mailto:[email protected] | |This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net |Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
