I am royally confused on spots since the expiration time was remove.

Am I reading that the "normal" spot time is 10 minutes?

If so, am I also correct that after 10 minutes of a spotted station not being heard, it will disappear from the panadapter?

and, if so.... why is the only way I can get rid of spots is to go to settings->Spots->Clear FlexRadio Spots? (MacOS, SmartSDR 2.9.93, SDC v19.0305)

They never seem to expire. I have spots displayed that are 4 days old.

HI All, it seems to me that in the old ver.1734 every SPOT have had his own time-life, just as it should be.

Therefore I still prefer this old-option.

The LIFETIME option in v190308 added cancels all the spots in the panorama-window at fixed time,

this behaviour is not good at least for me, so I will use the v1734 till when it will be possible.
