Hi -   I'm logging into Dxkeeper.  I update the awards status and print out the results.  I then go to Jtalert and modify the alerts I no longer need. Right now it's WAS per mode/band and DX.  I don't mind getting a call again that is already in DXK but rather concentrate on the needed contacts. If I extract a digital contact file from DXK is there a way I can cross check it against my Jtalert settings rather than the method I just described?  If it's already been mentioned here I'm sorry - I couldn't find it  - thanks.

Why not use JTAlert's "Scan Log and Update" to read the DXKeeper QSO
database (log) and update the need list(s) directly?

I liked your suggestion ===>
" Why not use JTAlert's "Scan Log and Update" to read the DXKeeper QSO database (log) and update the need list(s) directly? "

+ DXKeeper maintains up-to-date award progress tables in your log for DXCC, IOTA, Leaderboard, VUCC, WAS, WAZ, and WPX for all relevant bands and modes, not just digital modes; these tables drive many actions, from generating outgoing QSL cards for needed stations to color-coding needed stations on a world map, bandspread, spectrum-waterfall, or panadaptor. More than a year ago, I asked Laurie VK3AMA about extending JT-Alert to reference these in-log progress tables. His response was negative, I assume because he wants JT-Alert to support need-tracking for all of the logging applications with which JT-Alert interoperates. That's a justifiable decision from my perspective.

and looked thru JTAlerts "Alerts, "Settings", and "View" entries
and do not see the "Scan Log and Update" option in V2.16.17
anywhere.

From JTAlert Main Menu (Menu bar):

Settings -> Manage Settings (F11) -> Scan Log and Rebuild
(it's the fifth line from the bottom in the left menu).

How old is your copy of JTAlert?
Fifth from the bottom is "Rebuild Alert Database"
