Good point. But also the name, country, etc is not entered for DX stations as it is for USA stations.

All international calls are 4 digit in the RAC. 73, Art W6KY www.w6ky.com ............................................. Question: What do engineers use for birth control?

I do this by clicking on the UPDATE QSO button in the CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP (F3) window as Jim stated. On most DX stations the UPDATE QSO button is grayed out. But with some DX stations the button seems to be active (J5NAR, ZB2FK, J88DR, are recent examples in my log) but there is no info in the GRID box and when you click on UPDATE QSO nothing happens. I use the RAC data I downloaded/installed from the CD in C:\Program Files (x86)\Radio Amateur Callbook (where the RAC wanted to be downloaded by default. Previously I had just used C:\RAC but my latest version, Winter 2013, refused to work from there. I kept getting error messages during my install. Letting it install into C:\Program Files (x86)\Radio Amateur Callbook where the install program wanted it to go let it install OK. If there is a way to do this also with DX stations plse let me know. 73, Alan, K7ACZ -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 7:11 AM To: Steve K7AWB Cc: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] external data software such as hamcall, qrz, etc. On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 7:35 PM, Steve K7AWB <k7awbg...@gmail.com> wrote: > So do any of you DX4WIN users use a call database that, by use of a > function key, will populate the entry window with the information so > that it is saved in the contact info? Radio Amateur Callbook ("Flying Horse") works best with DX4WIN. It can populate State, Country, Drid and Name by clicking on a button in the Callsign/Mgr Lookup (F3) window. As far as I know, it's the only one that can do that. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
