[Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with DX4Win
Thank you all for useful information that helped me to solve my problem for the Yaesu FT-897 rig control. The solution as suggested: Use the "Yaesu FT847.RIG" file in the DX4WIN/Radio archive and make a copy that is renamed to "Yaesu FT897.RIG" With Word Pad the file is edited as follows: [[GENERAL] MODEL=Yaesu FT897"New name" NOTES=Experimental "New comment" DATE=36536 FLOW= 1.00E+0002 FHIGH= 4.70E+0005"470 MHz high frequency" BAUD=4800 "Tested also 9600 and 34200 OK" DATAB=1 STOPB=1"2 stop bits as per manual also OK" . Save this file and restart DW4WIN. Now you should find FT897 in the window "Preferences/Radio". I have clicked DTR and RTS buttons high. The rig will be in "Locked" mode after starting the radio by DX4WIN. If you unlock by pressing the rig button "Lock" the rig will be unlocked and manual tuning, mode change etc. etc. will be available. Everything except the DX4WIN radio panorama function seems to be working as specified. It seems as the S-meter data is not interpreted by DX4WIN, scanning and frequency update is running OK. 73 de Erik/SM0JCA - Original Message - From: "Marc Wullaert ON4MA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Erik Mellgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; ; "Steve Bookout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 7:29 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with DX4Win > if you look in the archives ,there was a post some 2years ago > what you could change tho read correct the mode from a yaesu ft1000 > maybe this could also help ... > > 73 > on4ma > > - Original Message - > From: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Erik Mellgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; > ; "Steve Bookout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 2:14 AM > Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with > DX4Win > > > > To add a bit more, I noticed that DX4WIN reads SSB when the FT897 is set > to > > the digital modes.

[Dx4win] Minor bugs & wishlist
There is a sort of kluge... Put $$ (the current frequency macro) into QSO...Contest Mode... Text... (hardly intuitive!) and it puts the frequency into the QSO notes field. Much better than nothing, but I've been trying to convince Paul to "format" the notes field into separate fields for frequency/name/other-info for years... Much easier for import/export and macros... C'mon paul... Do it for version 7... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zoran Brlecic Sent: March 3, 2003 6:34 PM To: DX4Win Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Minor bugs & wishlist Minor bugs report for 6.02: When a progress report is selected, the displayed *frequencies* in MHz (not bands in meters) are cut off so that 1.8 MHz is displayed as .8 MHz and 3.7 as .7 MHz. Incidentally, shouldn't the progress report's WkdTotal reflect the actual worked total (a sum of worked + sent + confirmed), as opposed to worked + sent - confirmed? Also, since I only recently subscribed to the reflector, I don't know whether this has been brought up before or even beat up to death, but are you ever planning to implement the actual frequency display instead of (or in addition to) just bands? And, yes, I know about the Ctrl-R; that just doesn't cut it, unfortunately. I don't see how adding this can hurt the program - if anything, your revenue can only increase. Some other stuff I'd like to see: ability to index the Logbook by QSL Mgr, ability to resize columns in Logbook, radio buttons for frequently used functions, program maintaining Contest mode and Special keys after restarting, support for the W9XT contest card.

[Dx4win] Band switching FT1000
I use a Yaesu FT1000MP Mk5 Field. When selecting the band from the front = panel switches, the antenna previously selected for that band = automatically switches in. (i.e. antenna A for 80/40/30 and antenna B for 20 to 10). When I double click a spot in DX4WIN, the rig automatically QSY's to the = spot frequency, HOWEVER the antenna does not change. So if I have been = on 10m and QSY the rig using DX4WIN to 80mtrs, I have the incorrect antenna = selected. Not a major problem, but a small iritation. Any one know of a way round = this? A menu selection in the FT1000 maybe? Thanks, John.

[Dx4win] Clearing QSO notes field
I have 3305 contacts with info in the QSO notes field and would like to = clear them all. I have given all of those contacts the same group = number..I have exported that group as a .CSV file but cannot figure out = how to merge it back in. If you can do global changes from within DX4WIN = I can't figure it out Any thoughts? Thank you.

[Dx4win] Clearing QSO notes field
Randy, 1. Export you file using the latest dx4win filter. 2. Edit the file .dxq; QSO info is followed by note 3. Make a copy of your log (or save as some different) 4. Delete all QSOs (this will keep the group names etc) 5. Import using the edited file from step2 using the same dx4win filter Paul At 02:23 AM 3/3/03 +, Randy Lake wrote: >I have 3305 contacts with info in the QSO notes field and would like to clear >them all.
