[Dx4win] Grey spot problem 9x0R

[Ernie Howard]

Jim,

I'm running 7.03.16

My packet 1 settings:
Warning messages - list in window
Audio/Voice - Band/Mode/Call
Dx alerts - None
Callsign alert - blank
Age for old QSO  - 180
Prefixes/Zones for spotters - K, VE
Options checked - Update QSO window, Show spot on taskbar, Backup DX spots, 
show function keys.

I am connected to W9ZRX cluster and the cluster sends only me K/VE spots. So 
it shouldn't have been an issue with a foreign spotter. I looked at the 
spotters to be sure that they were USA, I think....

But now today, after restarting the computer, clearing spots and restarting 
my telnet connection, 9x0r spots are ok . The spots on 9x0r are as they 
should be, new modes show level 2, bands level 3. And it shows a gray spot 
for the band/mode already contacted on 17 meters.

It must have been some minor glitch in the program. I've not seen this here 
before with other multiband/mode DX operations. I worked the 5T station 
yesterday too for the first time and it didn't go all gray, it looked normal 
on the band/modes not worked.
