Hi Jack, I've got to agree with Art on this one. Over the weekend, I found that I was ignoring a lot of spots because they came in as a new band when, in fact, they were a new mode. Now that I've figured it out, I have to go & manually check it to make sure.
It's a great feature, but could be so much better. Could this be made configurable? Thanks, --Mike At 12:16 PM 5/3/2004, Jack wrote: >Art, > >I think you pretty well understand how things work.
