    I only know what I've learned here. My PC has Z's set to a group, running at 600ms. I fire it off about 8am EST when I get to work and let it run as is until I see a string of only one out of the group, then I hit the GoHam button, also running at 600ms.

    As of this post, I'm up to 18 Webs, and only 32 PREs. Webs are on HAM right now and I just caught a couple more.

    Somewhat related, I cook mine until the oldest is 30mins old, unless they're coming in fast enough to fill the queue. Then I'll burn down the queue until my oldest is 5mins old. I haven't had more than 15 in my queue in a couple days.

    Options > Sounds. You can use any sounds you like. I replaced mine very early on I hate the ones that come with it.

    I pretty much already do. I normally turn them off once they start going a couple of minutes in between and work on other stuff. I got tired of tying up PC for two hours just to get trickle hits.

    I found sounds the length that I wanted here. The length is counted in the button while playing. Then I saved them locally on my PC. The went to options>alarms. Clicked the "Change" button find the file and Voila!

    I don't really understand why everyone likes those so much. Seems like every time I catch one it's some obscure artist from another country and I have to dig way too long to get the info.

    That's strange I've mostly had really popular artists, I rarely get one I haven't heard of, unless they're foreign.

    I use the business because it's what is featured at the top. Figure MyDex is a hosting site like Wix.

    thanks! That is a nice consolidation of the tricks of the trade spread around here. For some reason, doing 600ms for me causes my PREs to increase...not sure why. I've got everything off.

    I do the actual business. I got a plumber one that was a plumber ad through a mydex listing. I suppose it could be argued that mydex itself is a service but the page that gets served is the business page so I use that.
