Hello, I am just getting started using DXBase and am still a novice at 
it's use. I did use it for the CQ DX SSB contest and noticed some oddities.

1) The Summary screen keeps changing when the dx info screen gets a 
spot.I know that  you can click the lock button, but when the spots are 
flying in, I find that it often changes before I can get the mouse up 
that way. Is there a way to make it only update when you click on a spot 
in the dx info window and not when a spot comes in?

2) On the DX info window, can you filter what goes in there by band or 
other criteria?

3) Can you make the dx info screen keep it's data longer with maybe a 
scroll.

4) In the dx info screen (can you tell I use that screen alot?) can you 
make the need field reflect worked stations instead of confirmed?

5) When you go to enter a qso, can you make the call fill in from the 
summary screen?

6) can you move a call from the dx info screen to summary without 
changing the radio? It would be nice to be able to look ahead for future 
spots while you are trying to work the current DX.

Sorry the list was so long
