[Dx4win] Problem with Spots showing in DX window

[Paul van der Eijk]

Karl,

Configure packet not to ignore the 'Gray' spots.

Increase the spotting window capacity to a few hundred

Clear the Prefixes/Zones for spotters

Get a bunch of spots; they should be visible.

Change the field Prefixes/Zones to something like: #3,#4,#5

Note that this filters on the spotters, not the station being spotted
and see what happens. When you sort the spots by priority, the
changes become apparent and should be easy to verify.
