[Dx4win] DX4Win new release?
Not that's released yet, but plenty of prototypes, beta units, etc. Boy are you guys going to be surprised. No, I can't say anything more...

[Dx4win] Logbook Window
When I start up dx4win the program, the window that I have set up for = Logbook Sort by Date it comes up Report: All Fields sorted by date. = I have gone to the window and right clicked and reset to Logbook sorted = by date and hit OK. The window appears like I want it. However, when I shut dx4win down and reopen, the window comes up = Report: All Fields sorted by date. I can not get it to hold on Logbook = sorted by date. Must have a switch set somewhere wrong. Any ideas?

[Dx4win] DX4Win new release?
I have not seen any reference to the use of USB any ham discussions or literature. I don't know why this is true and was just asking if there was some reason for this that I don't understand. -Original Message- From: John Wilcox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 4:55 AM To: Gary Simmons Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win new release?

Can anyone tell me how a sound card works with this program? My rig does not have a connection for a RS232. I am surprised that USB ports are not used. Serial ports are the old way to hook external devices to computers.

DX4WIN only supports Com 1 to Com 8. If you install an 8 port serial card in your computer, then you have Com 1 to Com 10, but DX4WIN will not allow you access to ports 9 and 10. The same applies if you have more ports. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 3:00 PM To: Ron Bracklow Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win new release?

[Dx4win] QRZ V19, DX4W503 and Windows XP
Also running version version 5.03 with Windows XP Professional and have been doing since the beta version with no problems whatsoever. PSK31 runs a treat also !!! If I could only get Writelog to recognise the com ports I would be an extremely happy man ;-) Steve ZC4BS Homepage: http://www.stevebb.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Dx4win] USB devices (was DX4Win new release?)
I have done some device development and will be glad to offer my two cents on why COM ports still continue to be used even though USB is newer-better. First, USB is made simple for the user by being complex hardware. A fully compatible COM port driven device requires only a couple of easy to get parts and can be made for under $5.00. You can do it even cheaper if you don't want to actually meet the RS-232 spec. On the other hand the simplest approach to USB (that I know of) is an ASIC board that costs about $40 in prototype quantities. It is essentially a full PIC microcomputer dedicated to the USB task. Next is the software. Handling I/O through the COM port is easy in MS Windows and Linux (and KDE). Lots of free or cheap drivers are available to just drop into your application. The last time I tried to do a USB driver, the entry fee was several hundred dollars or LOTS of time writing the thing. As to computerless communications, you can implement COM to COM communications with some very simple PIC hardware. Trying to build a USB host with its associated software is a huge job. Finally, USB to COM port expansion boxes are reasonably priced so adding more ports is now a plug and play exercise. If software will recognize lots of COM options, I will be happy with it. Since the ham market is pretty small (albeit devoted), I think this would be a good balance of capability with cost and effort. Just my opinion, 73 Ron, AG5RS
