[Dxspider-support] SSID filter bug

[Ciemon Dunville]

OK but I hear Keith's issue.

If DX Spider is going to mimic the base callsign set then the user needs to
be able to interrogate and get a response of what is set. When  G0TRT-3 is
set to VHF only CW only and I login with G0TRT-5 and set it to RTTY only
will I only get spots from VHF, I would expect to get them from all bands.
