I have the show DXCC, grid and worked before status checked, I have seen callsigns show up that I know that I have worked, before, what differentiates worked before status from a standard green CQ line? I'm a newbie, but it would make sense to make a worked before. I don't see an option in the Decode Highlighting dialog, to do that. I am looking at the manual this very minute, but not finding what i am looking for.

Hi Ryan,

the WSJT-X highlighting logic does not specifically highlight worked before stations, it highlights stations calling CQ or QRZ that you may want to work. If you enable the "New Call" and "New Call on Band" highlighting then you have the information you need. Worked before stations will not be highlighted as new calls, i.e. their CQ calls will be highlighted with the "CQ in Message" colouring (light green background by default).

Note that you get more information with this scheme that simply worked before. If a station has been worked before but not on the current band then you get the "New Call on Band" highlighting. If a station has not been worked before on any band then you will get the "New Call" highlighting. Optionally you can filter highlighting by the current mode or you can consider all modes as equivalent.

I do not use JTalert, there is a problem with their downloads according to my anti virus program. I looked and it would bridge between WSJT-X and my logger, but not worth the risk. This is when I looked last, anyway.

Ryan, there are a number of ham radio apps, that my virus software complains about including jtalert.  As long as you are downloading the software from the softwares main site, there is not any embedded virus or other crap. They are just false positives. 

Sorry I will do without, not worth it to me, I can import my logs from WSJT-X, to my logging program it only takes a few seconds.

The problem is your anti-virus software, not JTAlert.

You antivirus program is WRONG ... it is triggering as a 'generic' which most due when the program does not have a large user base, as most ham radio applications don't.

Hundreds of people have downloaded the program and have not had a problem.  If you download JT-Alert directly from the hamapps.com website, you WILL NOT have a problem with malware/viruses no matter what your antivirus says.

My antivirus (AVG) will stop installation, then perform a 15 second scan of new JT-Alert files, then will allow the installation.     If your program just dismisses the download without doing such a check, you should get a different antivirus program.
