[Dx4win] Another Number Limit

[aa1v]

    I use the scanner feature once in awhile, for example, during the VP8ORK 
expedition when the expeditioners list on their website certain frequencies 
on rarely open bands like 10 & 12 meters.  I scan them and I can usually get 
my call in before the packet spots draw a crowd or the signals fade (which 
was in seconds when I made the 10m cw contact).
  However, in some instances I'd like to set the scanner timing to more than 
60 seconds.  But, I get the same error as hi group numbers whenever I try. 
I like to use longer scanning times, greater than one minute, to 'stare' at 
frequencies that are subject to fading.  Also, it keeps my SteppIR from 
stepping too frequently for my liking.  The scanner also locked up the PC 
when the monitor power saver activated.  I had to deactivate it in windows 
XP.
   The scanner is a nice feature, and it really ought to be looked at for 
potential enhancement in other ways suitable for DXing.  For example, you 
can't use other DX4WIN windows at the same time, such as packet.  Also MMTTY 
is not accessible while scanning - which is a handicap if you want to look 
at rtty or other digital mode signals.
