[Dx4win] Packet cluster question - sorry, it may be bit long

[Chaz Cone]

Like many of us, I learned some years ago just enough cluster commands to get by.

Recently, I decided to tailor my internet cluster connections to give me exactly what I want -- and I learned a lot with hours of Google research.   I now have it working (almost) exactly the way I want.  

What I want is:

To receive spots only from the US and Canada
To receive DX spots only from surrounding states (I live in Georgia)
To receive DX spots only for the bands and modes for which I'm active
To receive DX spots only for the ARRL entities that I need; that is, those for whom I've not received a paper QSL

It took a lot of research and experimentation to get this working perfectly -- but I did it!  If you'd like to see my commands (as examples), email me off list and I'll send them to you.

After you sign on to a cluster in DX4WIN, you can send the cluster commands to the cluster and it will remember them. If you use more than one cluster, just send the commands to each.

All spots incoming real-time are processed through the filters just fine; I only see the ones I want.

Here's my question.  Even after you've established your filters on a cluster, typing show/dx ignores your filters and shows the most recent spots.  Is there a command that will show/dx through my filters?

If not it seems a very strange omission from the command structure.

I've broken my pick on this one :(
