[Dxbase] User Options: Alerts

[Tim Heger]

These are sent to the DX Info window because it couldn't be determined from 
the Prefix Database alias mapping or callsign mapping, what the associated 
entity is.  That way you can investigate and be sure you don't miss anything 
you might need.
When I see this happening, I ususally make a change in the alias or callsign 
mapping so that future spots will be associated with the correct entity.

I'm confused a little on the Alerts.

Everything seems to be working properly, but I'm getting info showing up in 
the DX Info window that doesn't make sense.

My settings are as follows:

Global QSL Filter - NOT CONFIRMED
Global Category Filter - MIXED MODE SEPARATE BAND
BAND THEN MODE

When something comes across the cluster, if I don't have it on any mode on a 
given band, I get the announcement and the spot is posted to my DX Info 
window. However, I often see other postings (which are not announced) 
indicating "B/W" in the left column. They are not shaded, so it doesn't 
indicate I need them for a new Band/Mode. But if I have both CW and SSB 
confirmed for that country on that band, why would it put anything from that 
country over in the DX Info window at all??

The ones that seems to be coming the most often are some of the new prefixes 
from DL - like DP, DR, etc. Does WPX have any possibility of affecting this 
data that I'm not aware of?
