[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Packet Spotting

[J. F. Samuels]

I don't remember if anyone answered your query.

Ideally, the user could assign the priority so that if they were more
interested in band/mode combinations, that could be a lower number than,
say, a mode unconfirmed.

But, since it isn't that way, I have chosen to pay attention to the colors,
over which I have control.  Yellow reverse is highest priority followed by
red and it's combinations for mode, blue and its combinations for band, and
green for the band/mode combinations.  Black and gray I ignore.

So I never pay attention to the numbers, just the colors and it works OK for
me.
