[Dxspider-support] SSID filter bug

[Dirk Koopman]

Yes. And if you have any problems, please ask.

But the point of this is precisely so that you can have a "default 
filter" (if you want) which will be active for your plain, non-ssid 
callsign which will be active for your plain non-ssid callsign AND any 
other callsign-ssid that do NOT have a specific filter for that 
callsign-ssid pair.

The specific callsign-ssid filters are separate from and not related - 
in any way - with your default filter (if you have one) or any other 
callsign-ssid filters you might have.
