[Dxbase] DXBase Suggestion

Sat May 7 09:58:27 EDT 2011

I think we all know that.. its just easier on the fly to do it with a mouse click ! 
Its too bad when you do that the data coming thru DxBase doesn't change with CC user . 
Simplicity i think was the reason on the original post .

You can do that right now with a simple command to your spotting node! 
Go here for all the filters/users manual 
http://www.dxcluster.org/main/ 
7.1 Filters to accept spots based on frequency 
<http://www.dxcluster.org/main/filtering_en.html> 
Syntax: accept/spot [0-9] freq <range> 
or 
accept/spot [0-9] on <range> 
Important: as noted before, both freq and on are exactly the same and can be 
used interchangeably. 
For range, you can specify a frequency like 7040, a range of frequencies 
like 0/30000 ( the whole HF spectrum) or use any of the band/region names 
defined in the SHOW/BANDS command (see above). 
Examples... 
This will pass on a HF spots only from 0 to 30,000 kHz and dump all others. 
accept/spot 1 on 0/30000 
This passes on all spots in the frequency range 144000 -> 148000 kHz and 
trash all others. 
accept/spot 2 freq 2m 
This rule will only pass on spots on 6m, 4m, 2m, and 220 and reject all 
others. 
accept/spot 3 on vhf 
This rule will pass on all spots on the 160m, 80m, 60m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 
15m, 12m, 10m bands and all spots on 70cm and 23cm bands only. All other 
spots are trashed. 
accept/spot 4 freq hf and freq uhf

It would be nice to have a future in DXB, similar to CC User, that allows 
one to click on a specific band and only see spots from that band. Right now 
I can toggle back to CC User but it would be even nicer to have this ability 
and see the summary screen at the same time.
