[DXBase] Problem with Unwanted Alerts

Mike
First, when you say they come through. Do you mean into the Internet/vhf cluster window or
the DX Info window.

My alerts are set to:
Not Confirmed

Individual Mode and Band
all bands and modes are checked 10 through 160

This means I only see cluster spots in the DX Info window for band/modes that I HAVEN'T
confirmed as yet.

The Internet or VHF Cluster windows will show anything you have not filtered out via the
cluster software.
I strongly suggest you use AR User to connect to a cluster node, and then set your
specific type of filters.
It's much easier than using arcane cluster commands.
