You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything, eg:
- ann/spot 3 all
+ acc/spot 3 all

If you have a filter:-
- acc/spot 1 freq hf/cw
- acc/spot 2 freq vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+ acc/spot 1 on hf/cw
+ acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
and you say:-
you will be left with:-
- acc/spot 2 freq vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+ acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
If you do:
it BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don't
match are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-
- accept/spots freq vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+ 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:
- reject/spots freq hf/cw
+ reject/spots on hf/cw
Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTA
and will work it even on CW then you could say:-
- reject/spots freq hf/cw and not info iota
+ reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-
- accept/spots not freq hf/cw or info iota
+ accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
which is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other until
you are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them
You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your
own understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-
- reject/spots 1 freq/cw
- reject/spots 2 freq 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+ reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
+ reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't
read any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also
that you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because,
without it, will assume:-
- (freq 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
+ (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - use
brackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is
If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or more
lines of it or clear out one line. For example:-
- reject/spots 1 freq/ssb
+ reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
or
my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU
can be written with a mixed filter, eg:
- rej/spot freq hf/cw
- acc/spot freq 0/30000
- acc/spot 2 freq 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)
each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept'
slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.
For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in
SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -
thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -
-this is more efficient than saying simply: freq HF (but don't get
