[Dx4win] Internet Spot not listed as needed.
Brian It indeed is parcing the FM as the mode ! When I click on the spot it QSY's my radio to the correct frequency and changed the mode to FM (no CW!), interesting little bug In the mean time get crackin for that Extra ticket 8^) Dave At 10:01 PM 7/8/02 -0400, Brian Boerner wrote: Hi Everyone. This is my first real week of using dx4win after converting from dxbase. Life has become instantly easier. However, I have noticed a problem with internet spots.

However, a quick check of the memory banks and the logbook shows that I do in fact need this country on 40m. (not that I can work him.. at least until I get my extra) Clicking on the spot and then typing CTRL-L to listen, set the radio to 7.002.9 FM, not CW. I'm guessing the spots are being parsed for information in the notes field, but perhaps it's parsed as a whole. In which case, the FM prefix was used as the mode. Has anyone else seen this behavior? -Brian 73 de W2SUQ ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Dave NR1DX [EMAIL PROTECTED] A man who picks a cat up by the tail learns a lesson he can learn no other way Mark Twain

It doesn't look like it's in the comments field to me. Looks like the prefix field, unless prefix is right justified in the comments field. -Brian -Original Message- From: WL7M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 11:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Internet Spot not listed as needed. That happens. The FM from the prefix breaks down to: set the mode to FM if it appears in the first letters of the comments section on a DX spot. Same thing happens if CW, RTTY or other mode appears in the beginning of the comments field. Something to be aware of. Not sure how Paul can change the impact that has on setting the mode when an unintended comment makes that happen. 73, Joe WL7M ---Original Message--- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, July 08, 2002 18:04:11 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Internet Spot not listed as needed.

DX4WIN looks for several key words in the remarks column to set the mode. Some of these are PSK, RTTY, and FM. You were just bitten by software incompatabilities between the cluster software and DX4WIN software. I had an exchange of e-mails with Paul about this aspect of ARCluster several months ago, so I'd guess it'll be addressed in the next release. Since the prefix info is always in the last 2-3 places in the line, it should be easy for him to tell DX4WIN to ignore it when setting the mode. As for the spot being greyed out when it shouldn't be, this is presumably caused by FM not being set as a valid mode on the DXCC tab in preferences. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the World HF Contest Station Database at www.pvrc.org
[Dx4win] 5 Band DCXX Submission Question
When I click on the 5BDXCC report, the list appears OK. When I check = the QSOs, none of them have been changed to submitted, as they do with = single band submissions. Is this right? Will I have to mark each QSO = band as submitted manually, or is this a bug? Using 5.03.
