Re: [Dx4win] QSL Labels for Multiple Calls

2012-01-07 Thread Mel
I wonder if the best solution would be to use one of the many QSL label 
printing products out there, many are free. You export to them in the 
same way I use a QSL service... using filters and ADIF. DX4Win has the 
tools to set/unset flags and dates to do it quite easily.

 Hi all
 My situation is slightly different.
 I have my main log F6EXV as a stand-alone log, so that statistics and so
 on are appropriate.
 I manage several operations like TO5FJ, PJ7X to just name 2, so I do not
 want to mix these calls with any other.
 When I have to print a label for TO5FJ, I have to go to
 Files/Preferences/Rep-Label and change the2 lines of comments. Then I
 print the lables. If I need to print a label from PJ7X to that same
 station, I have to go over all the process again.
 The difference in the label comments are not necesarily only the
 callsign.

 In other words, I wish I could define a label (size and comment) for
 each callsign. Then, when I open a different log, I should be able to
 select the "TO5FJ" or "PJ7X" label under  QSLs/Print QSL label instead
 of modifying each time I change logs.

 Any idea ?

[Dx4win] DX4win ver8.05 with TS950sdx

2012-01-07 Thread Andy Hewitt
GM all,

I have been using various versions of DX4Win with the TS950sdx for some
years now but a couple of days ago something went wrong and I have been
unable to find the fault, if such it is. Now if I click on a spot in the
band map I get a beep from the rig, the mode changes, and the red arrow in
the band map moves to the new band/frequency but it only stays there for a
second or so then reverts to the previous band/frequency. The frequency on
the rig does not change. If I change band and/or frequency manually on the
rig the arrow and the frequency at the top of the band map track rig as it
should.

 

Any ideas anyone?

[Dx4win] band & mode preferences

2012-01-07 Thread Steve K7AWB
There are several places where I can select my band preferences and modes of 
operation so the unused choices do not get in the way of my particular 
operating bands and modes.  It minimizes wasted time and mistakes.   So under 
STATION PREFERENCES, I can select the bands and modes I use.  Also in  PACKET 
3. 

But in the  ENTRY WINDOW, I have to go through all the possible bands and modes 
when again I need to narrow them down to what I use in my particular operation. 
 Did I miss the place where I can select my particular operating bands and 
modes, and not have the others in the way, in the entry window?.  There are 38 
modes to select from and 22 bands there 

 How can I have only my bands and modes to show in the entry window to speed up 
the entry of contacts?

I agree, its a pain the way it is and no good reason to see all the 
extra bands & modes when you have already selected what you use

[Dx4win] Lost Key

2012-01-07 Thread Roger Huntley
I had Version 8.04 which was working great.  In December I uploaded ADIF
file to LOTW. After upload I installed new computer hard drive.  When trying
to open program from desktop link it said could not find file.  I downloaded
V 8.05 and it will open however in the demo mode.  I saved existing V8.04
saved files to new V8.05 files and the log is there however I can not find
the existing key it is asking for. 

 

If I merge the new file with the old one will I get duplicate QSO's ?  

Where should the key be located?

How do I get a new key?

Thanks for any assistance.  Hate to think I might loose over 60 years of
QSO's.

Roger, W7VV

Re: [Dx4win] Lost Key

2012-01-07 Thread Kostas Stamatis
The key file is in your dx4win directory (dx4w804)
You should copy it to dx4w805 directory.
Also you should copy the log files from dxw4804 to dxw805 directory.

Re: [Dx4win] band & mode preferences

2012-01-07 Thread Mel
DX4Win doesn't work as you describe... you never have to scroll through 
the modes or bands you don't use. The modes/bands you enable are always 
first in the drop-down list, no need to scroll further.  This way you 
can still log a mode that is not actively tracked. You can select the 
modes by pressing the first letter... since the active modes are first, 
you will always select the active mode.

What would be useful would be a user configurable mode table as DX4Win 
is always behind as far as digital modes are concerned.
