Yes on all accounts
IF
You have the Alerts user option set to
"Individual Mode and Band"
I have never used any other setting so I don't know
about the other option for the alerts.

>From N4TL,

I copied some of the help text from Dxbase 2005 Scientific
Solutions to this message and added some examples.
I would like to see the answers to each of the cases.
I filled in the answers to the first two which are easy.
Case one: The user has BY confirmed on 15 meter SSB
and nowhere else. A BY spot comes in on,
15 CW Is an alert generated or not?
17 CW Is an Alert is generated or not?
17 SSB Is an Alert is generated or not?
Case two: The user has BY confirmed on 15 meter SSB
and 20 CW and nowhere else. A BY spot comes in on,
15 CW Is an Alert is generated or not?
17 CW Is an Alert is generated or not?

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.
Case 1: no, no, no.
Case 2: no, no.
Alert All - This option results in all DX spots being categorized as
needed.
Case 1: yes, yes, yes.
Case 2: yes, yes.
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.
Case 1:
Case 2:
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.
Case 1:
Case 2:
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.
Case 1:
Case 2:
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.
Case 1:
Case 2:
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.
Case 1:
Case 2:
