By 'not being restricted' I am referring to the 'Source' (ie call of spotter) and not Origin (NA-M, NA-E, etc).
A whole bunch of 6m spots not being restricted by Max DX Origin.

It should be part of the Band Filter. If you type:
Band='6m' and <BANDFILTER>
In the Filter panel's text box, then Control-S, what do you see?

Hello all,
I have had the DXLab suite installed (on Windows 10) for some time but recently it informed me that an update was available for DXKeeper. I ran the update (15.4.9) but Windows responded with a message from Windows Security (see the attached image). Because of that DxKeeper.exe cannot run - I'm told it doesn't exist.
I'm unsure if this is a known thing or not, but certainly is something that needs to be dealt with by someone with more personal knowledge than myself.
Any advice will be welcome.

JTAlert - trying to get it working
Hi all ¨C not sure if this goes here or on the WSJT list.? I am trying t get JTAlert running to no avail.? It loads fine, and I get the box where the calls go, but I am unable to change any setting ¨C I right/Left click and I can find where to change the setting to interface with DXLabs, and to capture the data.? At least I got WSJT working and decoding properly.? Haven¡¯t tried to transmit yet.

Re: RBN as a propagation check
Hi Chuck - I attempt to
do user support for the RBN, and would like to help.? What you
need to do is to connect to a "retail" DX Cluster and use that
cluster software's command set to filter.? Your story suggests
that you may be connected to one of our relay servers, which
have no filtering (they're stripped down for speed).
Alternatively, you can
go on the RBN web site and tell it only to display spots of your
call.? I think that's how most people do what you want.

Hello to all, here¡¯s hoping all are well
during this time of real biological virii, as well as the
false positives of the computing variety.
?
I will often look at the RBN webpage to see
were my CQ's are landing on a band that may or may not be
open.?
?
I know there is an RBN source feeding Spot
Collector, and I brought up it¡¯s window and tried to feed a
few CC Cluster commands to it to show my recent spots but the
RBN window just kept pumping spots at me like a firehose.?
?
Ideally I¡¯d like to be able to have the RBN
show me where my signal is reaching, as a means of checking
for an open band.? I know it¡¯s not strictly DX related but
it¡¯s at least DX-adjacent.? Is there a way to filter RBN spots
like this?? I did try filtering Spot Collector by my Call but
no results there either.?
