Doug,
Attached is an image of how I've got WSPRView3 set up.
As you can see, I have opened 2 instances of WSPRView and have one set up for 2m and one for 6m. Having the map on WSPRnet in the background sets it all off well.
I have VHF Dist Mode ticked and distance filters set up as you can see.
Some people may be concerned about the MAX distance limit, its currently only able to go out to 1000 km, but I believe this is being extended in the next update. But one of the main reasons for this feature is to help easily identify areas of high E MUF when monitoring 6m WSPR which could go on to propagate signals on 2m. So hence, during those times this feature is excellent for showing only spots within the range that would show very high E MUF on 6m which is about 300 to 900 km (during those times of strong propagation there can be literally over 1000 reports in the database for an hour, so the ability to filter the results and time frame will make its so much easier).
I also have SNR Alert ticked and set to +1 dB for the 6m band, as signals need to be showing quite strong in the 300 to 900 km range to help identify the high E MUF zones. This also allows you to differentiate between a direct E signal in comparison to a backscattered signal or tropo signal which typically will be much weaker over those distances.
