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?

A whole bunch of 6m spots not being restricted by Max DX Origin.

Yeah, the "origin" in "Max DX origin" has no relation to the Origin filter.

If you're still seeing spot database entries that do not include any
spots from stations within your specified Max DX Origin, your Band
filter is somehow broken.

You have NOT checked the options in the "Ignore" panel of the Band
Filter window, right?

You could add a "ODX" column to your spot database display. Side-note
to Dave; it'd be nice if the ODX could be displayed somewhere in the
"Spots of CCC near FFF in MMM" window - maybe appended to the title?

OK, I added ODX and OMDX to the view.? ODX is blank for all entries.? OMDX shows stations that are supposedly in the 25m radius.? A recent spot for TI2CDA indicates the only spotting station being XE2JS.? I am pretty certain that Chihuahua, MX is more than 25 miles from EN60.? Others are from K9MK in TX.? Both of these indicate (NA-M)

My operator location is set to NA-M 40 21' 15"N 86 47 30"W.

How does SC determine?the OMDX?

Thanks for the help.

You may also need "Lookup missing location info" (and, optionally, "Capture location info from notes").

+ Correct.

+ If a Spot Database Entry's ODX field is empty, that means SpotCollector could not compute the distance to any of the spotting stations because it did not have their locations.

+ This prerequisite was not stated in

<>

+ It is now.
