[DXBase] DXBase 2005

2004年5月03日 13:46:21 -0500

Hi Jack,
I've got to agree with Art on this one. Over the weekend, I found that I 
was ignoring a lot of spots because they came in as a new band when, in 
fact, they were a new mode. Now that I've figured it out, I have to go & 
manually check it to make sure.
It's a great feature, but could be so much better. Could this be made 
configurable?
Thanks,
--Mike
