DxNET cluster spot filters

As with the CC cluster, DXNET filters by range and type.

Range filter in DxNET cluster

In the ranges, the difference between other clusters is in the designation of the ranges (the letter "m")

HF - 160m 80m 40m 30m 20m 17m 15m 12m 10m
VHF - 6m 4m 2m 135cm
SHF - 6mm

Exclamation mark - negative. For example !160m - except 160 meters:
In one command you can set both disabling and enabling ranges!

Examples of filters:

SET/FILTER !HF 40m- disable all bands except 40 meters
SET/FILTER !HF 40m 20m- disable all bands except 40 and 20 meters
SET/FILTER HF !WARC- enable all bands 160-10 meters, and disable WARC bands


View filters in the DxNET cluster.

As with ranges, you must specify both an indication and a negation in the same command.

Examples:
SET/FILTER HF !SSB CW- all HF bands 160-10 meters, CW only
SET/FILTER !HF 20m !SSB CW- HF band 20 meters, CW only.

Disabling filters (show all info): SET/NOFILTER .
View used filters: SH/FILTER .
