The solution is to switch to DXLab Suite (DXKeeper for logging,
and SpotCollector for cluster/spotting).  SpotCollector allows
the operator to block spots based on digital mode - e.g., one
can block JT9/JT65/FT4/FT4 spots and still display RTTY spots.

The mode of a given spot is identified by the notes field and/or
frequency.
