Thanks for all the comments. It does makes since now. Guess I should learn to read. HI HI I now have another potential problem. It is with the VALID column. I have two ex Callsigns. When I indicate an exchange is with one of my ex calls the VALID box goes red. Only when one of my ex Calls is used. I did read a lot in the help file but I cannot explain this happening. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks to all who replied. I have ordered and will install 2007 and hope that solves the problem. Thanks Jack for the quick reply.

I am sure there are other good routers as well, but this one is good and reasonably priced it seems. There can be other hardware problems. Most everything in the path could have a problem from ethernet cables, ethernet card, modem. Sometimes the only way to solve this is to swap things out. And even if everything is fine at your location, it can be somewhere else in the path, perhaps at your ISP. Just checking my N5IN AR-Cluster I see I have a user halfway across the country that has been connected without a dropout for 6 days, so reliability is possible. CC-User is a great program and will reconnect after a disconnect...but it doesn't prevent the disconnects..it does make the problem less annoying however.

DXBase will only recognize the callsigns contained in the '.reg file' you get when you purchase DXBase. In my reg file. I have WN9VOL, WA9VOL, W9OL. So if you only requested a reg file contain kb2fj, that will be the only callsign it acknowledges. othere possible reason for a qso not being 'valid'...if it was before that mode acceptance date. Like ... working a station on SSB before there was an award for SSb etc. I worked Atlantis....before it disapeared, and the picky ARRL won't give me credit for it.....said it was before the separate SSB award start date. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Akins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 8:30 AM Subject: [Dxbase] re: Previous QSO Module > Thanks for all the comments.
