[Dxbase] Re: Spots Window Question

[WA9YSD]

Mixed Band Separate Mode - This option checks the specific mode of the DX spot on any band to determine if you need this country on any band for the specific mode.

Check the "Not Worked" option if you want alerts when the country is not worked.

The above two settings is what you want.  Listed below is what I copied from the help section.  Finally found this section in the help menu under  OPTIONS - USER OPTIONS - ALERT OPTIONS - USER DX ALERT OPTIONS.  

Global QSL Filter
This option determines whether you want alerts for spots when you do not have this country confirmed, or if you want alerts whenever you do not have it worked.  Check the "Not Confirmed" option if you only want alerts to be made when the country is not confirmed.  Check the "Not Worked" option if you want alerts when the country is not worked.  If you set the confirmed option, you will receive alerts only when the country is not confirmed.  If you set the worked option, you will receive alerts if the country is not confirmed and if it is not worked.   

Individual Band/Mode Filters
These options allow you to decide what bands and modes should be considered for possible alerts when a DX spot is received.  They allow you to tell DXbase that you are interested in working DX spots on this mode and band, but not on some other band and mode.  Check those band and mode combinations that you normally would work.  If you do not check a particular band and mode combination, DXbase will ignore a DX spot whenever it is for the band and mode combination that is not checked.



Global Category Filter

This option identifies the logic that will be used to determine if you need the country when a DX spot is received.  The option set under Global QSL Filter is also applied to the final determination if you should receive an alert notification.

Disable All Alerts - This option turns off all alerts of whether or not you need the DX spot.
Alert All - This option results in all DX spots being categorized as needed.
All Band Mixed Mode - This option is the most general.  Upon receipt of a DX spot, DXbase will check to see if you need this country on any band and any mode.  If you have a QSO for this band and mode, then no alert will be made.
Mixed Mode Separate Band - This option checks the specific band of the DX spot on any mode to determine if you need this country on any mode for the specific band.
Mixed Band Separate Mode - This option checks the specific mode of the DX spot on any band to determine if you need this country on any band for the specific mode.
Individual Mode and Band - This option provides the most detailed and specific logic.  Upon receipt of a DX spot, DXbase will check both the mode and the band of the DX spot and determine if you need this country for the specific band and mode of the station.
New Mode or New Band - This option provides a multiple lookup which first checks to see if the DX spot is an all time new mode for this country.  Then it checks if the country is on a new band.  If either condition is true then an alert will be generated.
