Ill agree, AR-User from VE7CC is teriffic! It makes the process of setting up filters simple, which is rather cryptic otherwise. Now with the new alerting feature you can set it up to turn on your yard light when FT5X is spotted. OK, I am kidding about that, but I believe Lee VE7CC would add the feature if you needed it..perhaps by toggling DTR on a com port.
