Re: [Dx4win] Some questions
Thanks, Jim! So, I have a follow-on question regarding spot age.
Is there a way to automatically delete all spots older than 30 minutes in
the spot window?

Hi Mark,
Spot age isn't what you think it is. I'll try to explain best as I can.
Let's say 3Y0X in Bouvet is spotted, and you need it for an all-time
new one. The first time it's spotted, you'll get an audible spot
alert ("bell" or voice announcement). Now if 3Y0X is spotted again 5
minutes later, you will NOT get another alert. Only when the newest
spot is OLDER than the spot age will you get a new alert when there is
an incoming spot for the same call. This prevents you from getting
alerted every minute when a "rare one" is on and everyone and their
brother (or sister) is making "I worked it!" spots.

p.s. I suggest you upgrade to 8.04 (latest).

[Dx4win] Some questions
V8.03 * I selected maximum spot age as 30 minutes. Why does the Spot window continue to display spots older than 30 minutes? I can manually delete old spots by right-clicking in the spots window and select DELETE OLD SPOTS (30 MIN), but I want it to happen automatically * Panorama display - not sure I understand this or how to get it to work. I am confused about the instructions saying "click and hold down the mouse button." In what window? * In the spots window, when I have the spots sorted by priority and I do NOT have the RADIO enabled (CAT connection), I see what I expect to see, the highest priority spots displayed. When I connect to the radio, the order stays the same as with the radio not enabled, but the cursor/selected spot in the spot window seems to float. Is this because it is picking the spot closest to the frequency I am using? I don't want it to do that, if I can disable that feature while the RADIO is ON Mark Lunday, WD4ELG Greensboro, NC FM06be wd4...@arrl.net http://wd4elg.blogspot.com http://wd4elg.net __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
