That happens. The "FM" from the prefix breaks down to: set the mode to FM if it appears in the first letters of the comments section on a DX spot. Same thing happens if CW, RTTY or other "mode" appears in the beginning of the comments field. Something to be aware of. Not sure how Paul can change the impact that has on setting the mode when an unintended comment makes that happen.

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
