Art, I think you pretty well understand how things work. When this new capability was designed, we had to choose something in terms of priority and so we took what the original enhancement request asked for. That was All time, Band, Mode. So if its a new band, that's what gets displayed and if not, then if its a new mode then that gets displayed, or the default of B/M.
If you only need three missing CW countries, I suspect you have them memorized and would never miss them. You probably dream about them in your sleep....hihi...

I agree with you that New Mode should take precidence over New Band. As best as I can test, a new mode post doesn't come up unless it is not a new band QSO. IMO this is backwards! Unless I'm missing a setting or something there is no setting that will give me new mode if it is also a new band. Here's an example of the importance of new mode. I have 333 Mixed DXCC entities. I have 330 CW DXCC entities. I need to see posts for my 3 missing CW countries. I don't want these posts lost among new band countries that I may choose to ignore. Currently there is no way I can do this. Someone please tell me I'm wrong on this. Tell me the secret setting to fix this! 73, Art W2NRA Thomas F Lewis wrote: I down loaded DXBase 2005 last Friday and got my registration with in a few hours. Great program. I did a lot of work with it over the weekend because it was rainy here. I like the new colored Need column in the DX window. But I would have programmed it differently. For example, if I have a country confirmed on 20 meter phone but not on 15 and not on CW (any band). When a spot comes in on 15 meter CW it is marked as a new band. I would have marked it as a new mode. LOTW is going to start allowing credits which will also be great. 73 Tom N4TL _______________________________________________ DXBase Reflector - Please visit us on the web at www.dxbase.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To UNSUBSCRIBE please visit: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase _______________________________________________ DXBase Reflector - Please visit us on the web at www.dxbase.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To UNSUBSCRIBE please visit: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase
