I am still having trouble.  Today three stations that should have triggered 
alerts did not.  I fired up my old 5.03 and each station was flagged in red 
as I expected.

I noticed in the 5.03 Packet 1 tab there is a selection for "New band/mode 
warning" that I have set to "Adds to award."  This selection does not 
appear in 6.02.  Is it no longer needed?  Hidden?  Defaulted?
