Dave-? If that has too high of cost/benefit ratio, how about when the NOTES screen is open, and you select a new spot, the NOTES updates itself without having to right click and select "display spots of (call) near (freq) in (mode)"?again. That way one could more easily use the NOTES function. DAN KC2STA On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 1:19 PM, ' Dave AA6YQ' aa6yq@... [dxlab] <dxlab@...> wrote:

I'm ambivalent on this capability. However if it is useful to others I wouldn't deny them its utility.

Even though I have three monitors and the main monitor is 2560 x 1440 pixels, I wouldn't use it because of the extra screen space yet another window would take. In addition, I get the tracking of DX stations by defining the SQL buttons in spot collector for the current DXpeditions. Yes, I know it doesn't present all the spots, but it's enough to keep me busy. Dave w6de -----Original Message-----

I can see it potentially being useful to be able to track individual spots for multiple database entries simultaneously, but it's probably not something I'd use every day. 73, ~iain / N6ML |
