[Dxspider-support] SSID filter bug

[Keith, G6NHU]

Yes, different SSIDs can have different filter sets.

I’m not sure I understand the logic of a callsign with an SSID inheriting the filters of the callsign without the SSID though.

I had to specifically add a filter for G6NHU-5 to allow everything through from 0/250000000 to ensure it received everything.
