Odd thing, but some of the cluster software insists on putting the country code in the remarks column. DX4WIN looks for several key words in the remarks column to set the mode. Some of these are PSK, RTTY, and FM. You were just bitten by software incompatabilities between the cluster software and DX4WIN software. Wait for the next DX contest and work French Martinique (FM) on every band in one weekend, and this will no longer be a problem. Get your Extra as it makes cw a lot more enjoyable.

Hi Everyone. This is my first real week of using dx4win after converting from dxbase. Life has become instantly easier. However, I have noticed a problem with internet spots. I'm a CW only op and have my prefs setup to reflect that under all categories. A spot came in this evening: DX de N4ZH: 7002.9 FM5GU Dennis, Qsl via KU9C FM 0040Z VA It was listed as gray, i.e. not needed. However, a quick check of the memory banks and the logbook shows that I do in fact need this country on 40m. (not that I can work him.. at least until I get my extra) Clicking on the spot and then typing CTRL-L to listen, set the radio to 7.002.9 FM, not CW. I'm guessing the spots are being parsed for information in the notes field, but perhaps it's parsed as a whole. In which case, the FM prefix was used as the mode. Has anyone else seen this behavior? -Brian 73 de W2SUQ _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
