[Dx4win] Dupes
My question is why are there dupes in the log? Is this asking the developer to provide a software fix for a potential operator error? The procedure for fixing dupes is quite simple. Not sure why there is such a problem with this. 73, Charlie, W0YG..>>

Hello! I have the same problem with lost spots from internet. Just found that I don?t have any dxwin.put file. Simply copied the file from 6.01 to my 6.02 catalog and it works. 73 de SM7N - SM7NDX, Jan -- Jan och Margareta Eliasson [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swipnet.se/sm7ndx

You will note that the DX4WIN.PUT file comes and goes. It is only there when there are spots in the DX spot window. If you exit DX4Win without clearing the spots the .PUT file remains with spots. If you clear the spots and don't exit DX4Win the .PUT file remains. If you clear the spots and then exit DX4Win the file is renamed to DX4WIN.~UP, thereby effectively deleting it. You can delete the ~UT file and the .PUT file will be recreated the next time a spot is placed in the DX spot window. At least that's the way it works here. BTW, I use the DX-Telnet interface. 73 - Ted - W8TTS "Jan Eliasson, SM7NDX" wrote: > > Hello! > > I have the same problem with lost spots from internet. > > Just found that I don?t have any dxwin.put file.

The fact that YOU can't do something, which clearly is not a problem to most anyone else does not constitute a "great weakness" on the part of DX4Win. I am somewhat curious how your log got so full of dupes that this is even an issue. The two things that come to mind are that another program (or import) duplicated a bunch, or there was some cockpit error. The function of a program does not include protecting you from yourself. 73, Steve --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.

Mel and others, Jim-AD1C informed me that checking the "Backup DX spots" box doesn't have anything to do with this problem and the spots should be saved, regardless of this box being checked, when you exit DX4WIN. That wasn't happening for me, and apparently for some others. It started working after I checked the box, but I don't know if unchecking the box now would cause them to stop being saved as I have reverted back to using V5.02 due to other yet unresolved issues in V6.02. that make it more difficult to use with Kenwood radios as well as those who have CW keying and PSK31 PTT on different COM ports. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=- - Original Message - From: "Mel Martin (VE2DC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Roger Borowski'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; ; "'Erik Hyllander'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 6:55 AM Subject: RE: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window > I DON'T have "backup spots" checked...

I just went in and unchecked the "Backup DX spots" box. And, it went back to clearing, i.e. deleting the .PUT file, with spots still in it when I exited DX4Win and restarted.

I must confess I am unclear on what checking the box "backup spots" is supposed to do... as they seem to be backed up unconditionally when I close DX4Win... perhaps Jim or Paul can clarify this... It almost seems that DX4Win is not saving your spot file on closing DX4Win. Ted...

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window
I installed DX4WIN in Demo mode at the office. With "Backup DX Spots" unchecked, the spots are NOT saved. The installation includes a default packet spot file from Paul, it reverts to the original list of spots when I exit DX4WIN and start again. I do not understand at home why it appears that my spots are kept. I had turned "Backup DX Spots" off because I didn't want the PC writing to my backup ZIP drive every 2 minutes with the last saved spots. It seems like there may be a bug here. The spots need to be saved when you exit DX4WIN, regardless of whether "Backup DX Spots" is checked or not. This is certainly the way 5.03 used to work. I will check a little more at home this weekend to see exactly what's happening in the shack. If I've made anyone crazy, I apologize. I'll stick to callsign to country mappings in the future! :-) 73 - Jim AD1C = Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC

Mel, I may not have been clear about this last night. "Backup DX Spots" is supposed to use the backup timer to write the unsaved spots to disk at regular intervals. Just like it does for the open log. I asked for this a while back, so that a DX4WIN crash would not delete all the spots that were only live in memory. You would only lose any unsaved spots since the last backup interval. However, it seems that Paul may have broken something in the latest versions, which cause the spots to NOT be saved to disk when you exit the program, and "Backup DX Spots" is not enabled. 73 - Jim AD1C --- Mel Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I must confess I am unclear on what checking the box "backup spots" is > supposed to do... as they seem to be backed up unconditionally when I close > DX4Win... perhaps Jim or Paul can clarify this... = Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window
Thanks to everybody answering my original question about saving spot info. It seems that there are two opinions 1. it works without problem 2. it doesn't work but can be solved checking Save DX Spots in Preferences/Packet1 When I compare v 5.03 and 6.02 it works OK in 5.03 without having checked Save DX Spots. In 6.02 I can get it work IF I check Save DX Spots. I have set update to every 10 min and it is interesting to note that if I have spots coming up in the window say after only two minutes after start of DX4WIN and exit , they are still saved and appear when reloading DX4WIN again. So in my view there is bug here introduced with v 6.02 (or 6.01 for that matter). It would be fine to have Paul's opinion on this matter, please. 73 Erik Erik Hyllander, SM0LZT e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alt.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Packet: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Dx4win] Newbie Questions & Assistance Request!
Hi
de K9APW\\
Using version 6.02 --
New user as of this week --
Entered MANUALLY ("off line") 800++ old entries -- but now find that only
400 of them were actually 'saved' to the log file after exiting the system --
Any idea where the other 400 entries not shown in the log book might have
been saved to?? (I simply clicked on SAVE in the FILE menu??)
How do I sort and view the logbook alphabetically by CALLSIGN??
(All my cards are in alpha order but were not entered in that same order!!)
Thanks for any help -- I have 5000++ manual entries to make and after spending
all day today entering, I find that 400++ of those entries made apparently
did not
actually "save" -- they were appearing on the log on the screen as I
entered them,
but are not there after exiting and restarting the program???
Thanks in advance --
Dick, K9APW

Best guess: you never actually pressed F10 or [enter] after entering QSO
data in order to save the QSO. Did you simply keep tabbing away and
replacing callsigns? Were the QSOs actually added to the log, i.e. did
you see them appear in the logbook window?

Right-click anywhere in the Logbook window, then Select Report and in
the Sort Index pulldown select Callsign.
