Perhaps I’m working FT8 looking for needed calls. JTAlert gives me this info. I may not want to QSY to another frequency/band depending on the “need” for the spotted station. If the spot is just a new mode, say SSB, on an already confirmed band and I know band conditions are not good for my modest station I may decide not to QSY.
+ If you don't want to QSY right-click the Spot Database Entry and select "Display Award Tracking for ...". SpotCollector will display its "Realtime Award Tracking" window, which will show you exactly why the Entry is considered "Needed", including whether it's status is "unworked" or "unconfirmed".
