JTDX POTA suggestion
Ah....been working POTA and VOTA stations and have seen that stations I have worked B4 are not showing with an underline in the Band Activity window. I have the Filters selection set to show everything...I suspect that the software looks at the first station name after the CQ and checks that against the logfile...and since the software doesn't log the POTA or VOTA or IOTA or NOTA or whatever for whatever reason one never sees that the station has been worked B4. And as a side note I am seeing more and more xOTA CQs .....I even found one for NASA the other day...
As a solution I would suggest that somewhere in the settings a selection could be made for the xOTA CQ calls similar to the wanted callsigns in JTalert, so that if the decode shows a xOTA it then checks the second call in the CQ stream i.e. CQ POTA WA8KQF and would run that against the logfile. Perhaps it would allow you to enter whatever xPOTA you were looking for.
As always, if I've overlooked something in the User manual, 20180108, I apologize and would appreciate a correction. Oh, and this is the latest manual I have been able to find and many of the items do not match the version I am using.
Thank you
