Clstr mode filters: Use 3 checkboxes instead of 4 radio btns

[VE3VEE]

Currently, there are the following 4 cluster mode filter radio buttons:

- All modes
- CW
- Digital
- Phone

I don't do digital. I'd like to filter digital and only show CW & Phone. It would be possible if the current 4 radio buttons would be replaced by the following 3 check boxes:

- CW
- Digital
- Phone

Would it be possible to implement this in a future version of Log4OM?

P.S. I truly LOVE the new version 1.12.1.0 released yesterday. The new highlighting cluster band and mode is a fantastic tool for DXers. Thanks so very much!

Yes, we can do that
Thank you for your appreciation

Thanks, Daniele. A side-benefit of replacing 4 controls with just 3 will be a slightly reduced complexity for the user.

Sorry but some of us want to see all modes so we need to keep that also.

Terry, to see all modes you would simply keep check-marks in all the three check-boxes (CW, Digital, Phone).

Using check-boxes instead of the current radio buttons would allow users to select multiple options simultaneously. Radio buttons, on the other hand, limit users to a single selection, hence the need for the "All modes" option.

With check-boxes (versus radio buttons) users will have more options with fewer controls (just 3 controls versus 4 controls).

For better illustration, I'm attaching to this post an image of how the suggested feature could look like. Note that there would no longer be a need for the "All modes" control because the same would be achieved by keeping all three, CW, Digital, and Phone, check-boxes selected.

The benefit of the proposed change is that users would be able to filter any 1, or 2, or ALL modes. Currently, users can only filter 1 or ALL, but not 2. For example, users currently are not able to select CW & Phone, or CW & Digital, or Digital & Phone. The proposed change would allow for those options.

Seems clear. I need to make some adjustments on configuration settings and other things, because we actually store a single value, but it shouldn't be difficult to do.

Hi Daniele,

I also like Marvins suggestion and would appreciate checkboxes for the mode filters.
