Phantom Alerts

Post by n2so »

Hello Friends! I have been a LOG4OM user since Sept 2024 and enjoy its many features and intuitive software. Lately I have been exploring the Cluster program and successfully set up and currently use the regular and super cluster features. I use N2KI as primary as well as WA9PIE-2 and VE7CC-1. However, I have run into a problem with the configuration of Alerts. I have added several call signs as rules from current and future Dx Operations while keeping the remaining default settings. Now I receive what can only be described as “phantom” alerts because although the spots are real, the alerts are not. In fact, I receive an alert for every spot as they come in from the clusters. Here is an example of how it appears in the alert list.
11:34:08 SP4AB (POLAND) 20m DIGITAL [JD1BPG]]
The call sign at the end is the latest of the Rules that I have entered in the Alert Configuration window. In this case the Alert cannot be real as the operators have not activated the Island as yet. (If I filter for that alert call sign in the cluster, nothing appears) If I clear the Cluster Alert list, it will start to regenerate as more spots come in. If I close the program and re-open, the same thing happens. I have tried re-booting my system without effect. Deleting the rule has no effect. This problem appears to be unique as I cannot find any discussion in the forum. I can send screen shots if required. Thank you so much for your kind patience and understanding.
