(WX Sunny and Warm) Most Common Used Filter Commands Filter Settings: Filter settings manually can be time consuming and sometimes hard to comprehend. I truly believe the best way is to download VE7CC's CC-USER FREE program at: http://ve7cc.net and use it to do your settings. Filters are mostly default to off, but one simple setting for say someone in the US or Canada that is happy seeing spots from just the US and Canada can do a quick setting for this: SET/FILTER K,VE/PASS SH/FILTER Shows all of your USER filter settings SH/FILTER Show setting for specific filter, = filter name. SH/FILTER DOC = DX Origination Country SH/FILTER DOS = DX Origination State SH/FILTER AOC = Announce Origination Country SH/FILTER AOS = Announce Origination State SH/FILTER WOC = Weather Origination Country SH/FILTER WOS = Weather Origination State SH/FILTER DXCTY = DX spot CounTrY SH/FILTER DXSTATE = DX spot STATE SET/NOFILTER Resets all filters to default. If you suspect you have entered invalid filter command or commands, reset and start over. SET/FILTER /OFF Turn off specific filter. = filter name (see SH/FILTER ) SET/FILTER K,VE/PASS This would be the most common filter setting for say someone in the United States or Canada to set so as to only see spots that originated in the US or Canada. SET/FILTER /

Set specific filter. = filter name (see SH/FILTER

= PASS or REJECT = Country or State Example #1: SET/FILTER DOC/PASS EA,OH,G This would set your filter to pass originated spots from Spain, Finland and England only. Example #2: SET/FILTER DXCTY/PASS F,OH This would set your filter to pass spots for France and Finland only. DX Band Mode Filtering The DXBM filter has many variations for your settings, it is defaulted to receive all DX spots for all modes from 160 to 10 meters, (see Band & Mode Filtering below). Band & Mode Filtering You can tailor the DX spots from CC Cluster to only the bands and modes that interest you. The default setting for new users is to receive all DX spots from 160 to 10 meters, all modes. To reset the band/mode filter to pass everything, enter "SET/FILTER DXBM/OFF". To display your current settings, enter "SH/FILTER DXBM". You can change any band or band/mode You can set the band or band/mode to either pass or reject. You can add items one at a time, or all at once. For example: To add 6 meters, you enter "SET/FILTER DXBM/PASS 6". To delete 80 meter and 40 meter CW, enter "SET/FILTER DXBM/REJECT 80-CW,40-CW" Although the band/mode has a "mode" name, it does not mean that when you select 40-RTTY that you are selecting only RTTY spots. What it really means is that you are selecting the frequency range in the following table that corresponds to this name. In this case 7040-7100. The actual mode may be anything. The only thing you have selected is a frequency range. DXBM Frequencies Band Mode Low High Band Mode Low High Band Mode Low High 160-CW 1800 1850 160-SSB 1850 2000 80-CW 3500 3580 80-RTTY 3580 3700 80-SSB 3700 4000 60-SSB 5260 5405 40-CW 7000 7040 40-RTTY 7040 7100 40-SSB 7100 7300 30-CW 10100 10130 30-RTTY 10130 10150 20-CW 14000 14070 20-RTTY 14070 14150 20-SSB 14150 14350 17-CW 18068 18100 17-RTTY 18100 18110 17-SSB 18110 18168 15-CW 21000 21070 15-RTTY 21070 21200 15-SSB 21200 21450 12-CW 24890 24920 12-RTTY 24920 24930 12-SSB 24930 24990 10-CW 28000 28070 10-RTTY 28070 28300 10-SSB 28300 29700 6-CW 50000 50080 6-SSB 50080 50500 6-FM 50500 54000 4-MTR 70000 70650 2-CW 144000 144100 2-SSB 144100 144500 2-FM 144500 148000 1-CW 220000 221000 1-SSB 222000 224000 1-FM 221000 222000 MW-MW 500000 47000000 CC-Cluster Commands for Sysops Only (Will not work for USERs) Purge/Mail X X is the number of months of mail messages that you want to keep. Rebuild/msgdir Renumbers mail messages starting at number 1. SET/GRID If the call is already in the database, then you will have to delete it first.
