I agree it would be nice to have a new option to "Hide 0-point QSOs," but
you can do some things that will almost do the same thing.

First, you can use RBN or DX Cluster filter commands to eliminate all
0-point spots, e.g. for arcluster.reversebeacon.net port 7000, to avoid
seeing all USA spots except for your own call, use:

set/dx/filter Cty<>k or Call=NQ4I

Consider, however, that sometimes it is *very* helpful to know that there
is another USA station (that you can't hear) already CQing on what think is
a clear frequency, so, do you really want to hide all USA spots all the
time?

To eliminate 0-point QSOs from the Band Map, select the LIST view tab (at
the bottom), right click, and select

Display Options | Hide dupes and invalids
Display Options | Multipliers only (perhaps)


You can't do that on the "Bandmap" view because it is designed to
auto-scroll and follow your VFO while tuning around, thereby identifying
every spotted station you tune in, even 0-pointers.  It only works on the
"List" view tab of the bandmap window.

Not also that you can *sort* the List view to put the most valuable
multipliers at the top, and the 0-pointers at the bottom.  Just right click
on the List View, Sort | By mult type.  If the display fills up, use the
mouse wheel to scroll the window.  Press Ctrl-Up/Down to jump from spot to
sport in the order listed.

Similarly, the Announcements window (Alt-A), has a "Multipliers only" check
box (right click to display pop-up window).
