This is my last post and I will move on. Yes, I know about the "Imported QSO is ignored" feature when importing and I use it all the time. But even when you select that (it's the default), you can still have situations in which duplicates are imported.
The point is there are all sorts of ways to get duplicates into the log and you have no way to identify them. I was just trying to agree with Paul that it would be a nice feature to have a function or utility within DX4WIN that would help us identify potential dupes. 73, Dave, N4QS -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of David Kozinn, K2DBK Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2019 2:16 PM To: 'Paul GRANGER' <f6...@hotmail.com>; 'Dan Violette' <dank...@socal.rr.com>; 'REFLECTOR dx4win' <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Ideas for development I'm trying to understand the issue. Let's say I work you at some point on 20M CW, then I work you again in a contest again on 20M CW. I import the ADIF file, are you saying that you should get a warning that I've worked you before? I don't understand why that would be a problem. Like many of us, this happens all the time. If you're talking about preventing a truly duplicate QSO from being imported (same band, mode, and time), that's what the "Imported QSO is ignored" setting is for on the Options for duplicate QSOs dialog when importing. I use this all the time because for FT-8, I just feed it my whole log every time I import and it ignores the duplicate. -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Paul GRANGER Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2019 2:13 PM To: Dan Violette <dank...@socal.rr.com>; 'REFLECTOR dx4win' <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Ideas for development Hi Dan Re garding dupes, I do not mean during a contest (every contest program will do that) but for the general log. Example I have run a specific contest program, and have exported to an adif file. I need to import this file into DX4Win. This is where each imported QSO should be compared to the global log and show someting when itis a dupe (same band and same mode) 73 Paul F6EXV Le 27/11/2019 à 20:01, Dan Violette a écrit : > #1 - For a specific time period (like a contest), turn on contest mode (QSO - > Contest Mode).
