Highlight Band on DXView

TOM-KQ5S All Messages By This Member #228059 When you highlight a call in SpotCollector DXView will show the progress for that country. ?Would it be possible for the band the DX station is on to be highlighted in DXView as well? ? Tom-KQ5S
Dave w6de All Messages By This Member #228063 开云体育 I believe that highlight would be a persisting distraction.? I use the band view in DXView to check my entire band and mode status for that entity spotted.? A band highlight would also require some way to cancel the highlight. ? 73, Dave, w6de ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of TOM-KQ5S via groups.io Sent: 26 February, 2025 21:51 To: [email protected] Subject: [DXLab] Highlight Band on DXView ?

TOM-KQ5S All Messages By This Member #228077 True, though I believe it is just the band, not the mode, that is highlighted, but the current band is not necessarily the band the spotted DX is on. ?That is one reason I think having the DX spot band highlighted would be helpful. ?It is sort of like what SpotCollector does in identifying if the station is LOTW, eQSL, or both. ?It is just another visual indicator. ?

TOM-KQ5S All Messages By This Member #228080 开云体育 Understand, but I don’t want to QSY until I see the data shown in the DXView Progress Window and then decide if I want to change bands/modes. ?I just click the spot in SpotCollector then look at the DXView progress window to decide what I want to do. ?Highlighting the band of the clicked spot in DXView makes it easier/quicker to see data. ?I often click on a spot without looking at the other spot data and then go to DXView to make a determination of what I want to do.

TOM-KQ5S All Messages By This Member #228082 开云体育 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. ??Or perhaps DXView shows I have worked the DX entity but it is not confirmed. ?I can double click on the “w” to see what call(s) I have worked and then click on the calls in DXKeeper ?to see when the last upload to LOTW was via DXView. ?I’m only interested in LOTW confirmations. ?These are all tools to help me decide how I want to operate. I am aware of SpotCollector’s color coding and use it.

Dave w6de All Messages By This Member #228084 In SpotCollector you can set up the "Need" filter to do exactly that.?? Set your spot collector display window to show reason for the need [e.g., show columns for need, band, mode, zone, iota, & etc objectives).? Then when you run SpotCollector, select the "Need" button.? Then only spots will show that meet one of your configured award objectives will be shown in the SpotCollector display.? If configured to be displayed the "Need" column will indicate in short hand notation what the reason for need is/are [all need reasons will be noted]. ? 73, Dave, w6de ?

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". 73, Dave,
