Do you mean an audible announcement, or are you referring to the color
highlighting in the DX Spots window?

DX4WIN doesn't re-announce spots (audibly) if there was a previous
spots for same band/mode within a certain time window.  This keeps
DX4WIN from announcing every "me too" spot that is posted to the
cluster.  I don't remember what that timeout value is, but it might be
"Age for Spots" on the Packet 1 tab.  Try setting it to a lower
number.
