Tnx for your report. This mystery remains...

FYI, note that there are *many* settings parameters which affects which 
spots are displayed or not in the various windows :

1/ The used bandplan (Options / Bandplan) 
http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Options#Bandplans...  It is 
essential, especially in contests where one mode only is allowed.

2/ For the Alt-A wnd, the contextual menus offers several options (mults 
only or not, which band(s), etc...)

3/ For the radio windows, the properties dialog allows you to modify the 
lifetime of the spots, and each view (bandmap or list) has also its own 
settings in their contextual menus.

Well, TBH, you are *not* supposed to re-install Win-Test everytime 
(thanks g0d !).

Hope this helps
