Hi Daniele. Terry and all the group.

The idea of an additional tab sounds great.
We can have several without loosing the others.
Something like the example I enclose.
Using Paint is very easy to do, however do the same thing in code, ... is dramatic ! :oops:

Hi Manuel,

That's a beautiful illustration, I'd love the Alerts feature to be implemented exactly like that! Terry had a fabulous idea with the extra tab.

No kidding! Our "dreaming" of these ideas is easy. Daniele has the difficult, and sometimes impossible, task of trying to implement these things.

Hey, Manuel, the frequency is missing, LOL!!!

I'd be happy with just:

Time | Callsign | Frequency

Some people may want also Band & Mode (but Band & Mode are probably not absolutely necessary because the frequency tells us the band/mode).

Actually, since the space is very limited, I'd suggest to possibly omit even the TIME, and consider using just CALLSIGN and FREQUENCY.

Must have the time otherwise you could be chasing spots that were hours old

Hi Marvin

I agree with you, in fact it is the most important information we need.
One more thing "Alerts" is red because I imagine it would help if it changes the color to red (or other) when a new alert enters there in case we have other tab active e.g. "Statistics", "Settings"

Daniele is so easy to have ideas even bad ideas hi hi the problem is to make them work .... sorry for all trouble about our dreams.

it's not so complex...
need some hours to be integrated but it can work...

thanks for suggestions :) i will work on that after having satisfied the strict battle plan made by team :) (or when i need some relax)
i'm nothing than the programmer, in this Group and i love that :D :D

You are right, Terry. The reason I thought we could perhaps live even without TIME was the fact that the small "Latest Spots" window in the bottom-right corner has no TIME. However, in that window the time is not needed because all of those spots are current. However, the "Alerts" window may potentially contain much older data about stations that went QRT or QSY long ago.

I'd suggest: TIME | CALLSIGN | FREQUENCY
