Hi Stefan.

Tnx for feedback, then I assume it was probably a crap with in/outbound 
settings.

I noticed b4 the contest the requested feature was working only in "list" 
style. I didn't want to tease the developers anymore since the contest was 
way close, moreover since I don't use the bandmap style at all it did fit my 
needs :-)
If I'm not wrong the "Potential QTC" feature was implemented last year or 
even earlier, the latest feature in 3.22 dev. works in Radio window -> 
list -> right click with mouse -> display options -> potential qtcers only.

If you tick "potential qtcers only" and "potential qtc" (which just place 
the missing qtc nr. next to the callsign) you get all the missing qtcers 
(dupe and non dupe guys included the number of qtcs you are missing) and it 
cuts off all the Europeans and full qtcers.

With the above setting you miss in Radio window new qsos and eventually 
mults from which you had already taken 10 QTCs.
If you use (like I did) the Dxc ann window to show up new mults on any band 
the only missing thing is just new qsos with 10 QTCs taken.

ie. with UA9CLB (new qso):
-20mt band
-u already worked UA9 mult
-u already got 10QTCs from UA9CLB (most likely on another band of course)
-list won't show ur missing UA9CLB as a new qso cos it's filtered out
-If you untick "potential QTCs only" it will show you UA9CLB but also all 
the
unwanted Europeans

ie. with D2NX (new mult):
-20mt band
-already worked him on 15mt and got 10qtcs
-the above setting is filtering out him

Solution (maybe not an ergonomic one): using DXC ann window and display both
new qsos and multipliers (all bands)

I would say the ultimate solution is to add to the above scenario (which is 
working perfectly) the chance to show up new qsos and to have the whole 
thing working for bandmap users as well (maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me 
you didn't have this latest feature enabled in bandmap). That was the idea I 
had in mind to handle DXC spots, QTCers and new qsos/mults all in one.

Wonder what the developers think abt it.... :-)

I would like to hear something from SOAB-SO2R entries which used 2 networked
PCs in WAE (ie.DL1IAO as from 3830).

Using 3.22 dev. I noticed QTCs logged on PC 1 were not showing up on PC 2
while those logged on PC 2 were making it to PC 1.

Anyone else had such a problem?
