where
<band|all|vlf|hf|vhf|uhf|shf|all|ssb|cw|rtty> <...> ... is filter properties.
This command is used to maintain what DX announcements are allowed for each user.
DxFiltering is done by the user. Filtering may be done by mode (CW, SBB or RTTY), and band : 2km, 160m, 80m, ..., 1cm, 6mm.
Some special properties are available :
VLF = 2km
HF = 160m 80m 40m 30m 20m 17m 15m 12m 10m
VHF = 6m 4m 2m 135cm
UHF = 70cm 34cm 23cm 13cm
SHF = 5cm 3cm 1cm 6mm (even if I know that neither 1cm not 6mm are SHF ...)
all = all bands, all modes
If you precede the property with an exclamation mark (!), it removes the property from the filter.
Assuming that the filter feature is disable, if you issue the following command sequence :
SET/FILTER HF SSB : You'll receive only HF spots in SSB segment
SET/FILTER !80m : 80m meters spots will be rejected
SET/FILTER VHF UHF SHF : Add VHF, UHF and SHF bands to the filter
If you want to receive VHF, UHF and SHF bands only :
SET/FILTER VHF UHF SHF or SET/FILTER ALL !VLF !HF
SET/FILTER with no argument shows the current filter status.
