[Dx4win] Use with VE7CC

Small edit to example filter set-up macro... a newline was dropped in my cut
and paste...

acc/sp 1 on HF and by_zone 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,14,33,35,40
acc/sp 2 on VHF and (call_zone 2,4,5 or by_zone 2,4,5)
rej/sp 1 by w3lpl

An explanation of the above...

On 160-10 I want to see spots from NA and Western EU
On  6 and up just from spotters or stations on the East Coast
Reject W3LPL spots

You can also refine it by band or range of bands if you wish... just use the
help command or consult the on-line documentation

Once you set up your filters on a DX cluster they will be persistent over
time unless the sysop does a major reset...

My playbook is playing tricks on me so I'll try again from my desktop.

VE7CC's software does not filter anything... it just provides a GUI to set
up filters on the spot server. You can do the same with DX4Win my creating a
macro file and invoking it with a macro key. The exact commands vary with
the type of server. I usually use DXSpider so here is an example DXSpider
file:

acc/sp 1 on HF and by_zone 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,14,33,35,40
acc/sp 2 on VHF and (call_zone 2,4,5 or by_zone 2,4,5) rej/sp 1 by w3lpl

You can do the same for AR Cluster, but the actual commands will be
different

Documentation can be found for each server type... the ones I know about are
AR Cluster (ve7cc server side), PacketCluster (the original), DXSpider
(multi-platform clone of PacketCluster)

Is there a way to easily select bands/filter bands ln DX4WIN like VE7CC does
it? I spent alot of time on one band only and it drives me crazy to have the
one spot that I am looking for go off the screen before I can click on it!

I have asked some other DX4WIN users but they say no.
