Re: [Dx4win] Packet Filtering
Thanks for the off-reflector replies to this query. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot do what I want to do. The DX Alerts parameter relates to voice alerts and the 'ignore grey and black spots' simply ignores P8 and P9 spots. Indeed, if you change the colour of these, they are still ignored! So at best, it is badly labelled. It would be nice to filter out unwanted spots though! 73 John G4IRN.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Filtering
Don't see a reply yet. I am not the best to answer since I let everything through, but some things I do know: DX Alerts are the audible notices. This allows you to specify what you want announced (voice, alarm, etc,) Ignore Gray/Black I think is the highest level you can go to block. I do not think this would work, but, have you tried setting the color for the items you do not want to see to black? Maybe you only want level 1, 2, 3 then set 4+ to black (or gray). Pay careful attention to what each level does. I think there is some overlap. I want new bands and modes for each DXCC and level 6 is more important to me than 4 & 5. I pay attention to all background highlighted spots. That is if I have kept the default spot colors where levels 1, 2, 3 & 6 are highlighted. I may have done that myself (forget since have had Ver 8 since it first came out years ago).

Unfortunately, everything else that is grayed out (like friends you have QSO's before) will be grayed out as well. I would love to see the packet spot filtering match the preferences - that is, if I choose not to work 6m or RTTY, then those spots would never show up at all. The concept of still showing spots for people I have already worked, but in a different color, is an excellent one. John K9EL > Hi Doug, > > Go to the main window, click File>Preferences>Station.

Doug, It would be better if you filter it at the transmitting end (i.e., the node) rather than at your end. If you are connected to an AK1A Packet Cluster node do this: set/filter/band=(6,2) all This will filter all the 6 and 2 meter spots, so you won't see them, and you'll cut down on RF traffic on the node frequency by eliminating them. If you are using an AR-Custer node, take a look at: http://www.k8smc.com/ArcUserManual.htm and read the section on filtering. It's much more flexible and has many more options than AK1A's software. 73, Barry W2UP On 31 Dec 2001 Doug Weaver wrote: > Does anyone know if there is a way to filter out certain bands on incoming > packet spots?

If you are using Telnet, other than 'unchecking' the band in Preferences seems to me the only way to keep the "Talker" from announcing ...but the spots are there in Grey. If you are using 'real' packet, depending on the system's software, you can use the FILTER command. ped Paul E.

Just take 6m out of your station preferences by unchecking the 6m/50MHz box. I think that will do it.

In your Station preferences, turn off 6 meters, the spots will at least be grayed out. Even better is to set up a filter on your packet node to deny the 6m spots from coming through - your SYSOP should be able to help if HELP SET/FILTER is insufficient. 73 - Jim At 09:46 AM 12/31/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Does anyone know if there is a way to filter out certain bands on incoming >packet spots?

Not sure about DX4WIN filtering but if you are using a node which uses the AR-Cluster software you can set your own filters to not get the 6 meter spots.

Doug, Go into PREFERENCES, and on the station tab, make sure that the 6M band is not checked.
