+ 10.5. A Filtering Tutorial
+
+ There is now an excellent primer/tutorial on filtering written by Jim
+ Samuels, W3BG with an introduction by Dave Hawes N3RD that I strongly
+ suggest you read. You can read it here The DXSpider User Filtering
+ Primer
+
11. Hints, tips and common questions.
Look at the "DXSpider Command Reference" section to see what help can
be found.
+
Q.How should I use the announce command?
A.With respect. Use the command by all means, but please only use the
your sysop what version number is the latest.

+ 12.30. filtering...
filtering... Filtering things in DXSpider
In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which
can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-
+
+
+
accept/spots .....
reject/spots .....
accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-
then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 14
15 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:
- rej/spot on hf/cw
- acc/spot on 0/30000
- acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+ rej/spot on hf/cw
+ acc/spot on 0/30000
+ acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.
