Jack et al- I'm waiting to upgrade at the Hamvention. I'm not exactly sure about this "new" feature. I presently alert on ALL needed DXCC countries (five left), ALL needed on Modes CW, SSB and Digital and ALL needed BAND countries. I certainly hope that I will have these alerts in real time, and that I'm not going to see them after the fact the next time I happen to pass by my computer.
