[Dx4win] DX4WIN New Version
I like MMTTY and continue to use it for just the neat RTTY tuning indicator. I have carefully compared my KAM, MMTTY and MixW for receiving RTTY, and MixW definitely has the edge, with MMTTY second. MixW is appealing also since it runs CW, Packet, FSK31, AMTOR, PACTOR (receive only), MFSK, Throb, MT63, Hellschreiber, FAX and SSTV, as well as BPSK31 and QPSK31. I do not use its logging capabilities. 73, John, K2CIB - Original Message - From: "Roy Dancy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bob Check" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 7:07 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN New Version > I must agree about MMTTY.

Only if you worked him before and entered all the data in. 95% of my contacts are first-timers. I'll just have to get used to the extra steps of saving the call and then hitting F10. 73 DE AS3J, er AI3W - Now I have to hit F10! :) For example, when you work KK3HD, and find out it is actually KK4HD, the notes for the call, the state and county etc. will be updated when you make the correction.

[Dx4win] reflector problems
Hi, I understand there were a number of technical problems with the reflector resulting in subscribers being removed. If you have been unsubscribed you most likely will not been reading this, but you may know someone who needs to know. Paul Paul van der Eijk (KK4HD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dx4win.com

I agree,but this is sometimes a problem sometimes a convenience, and at the time difficult to distinguish from a programming point of view. For example, when you work KK3HD, and find out it is actually KK4HD, the notes for the call, the state and county etc. will be updated when you make the correction.

If there's one single-most thing about DX4WIN that irritates me, it is the entry method. Lets day you are working a particular station. You proceed enter all the pertinent data (name,qth, etc.). THEN you find out that he is either a mobile or you have his call letters switched around. So, you re-enter his callsign with either /M for mobile or physically change his call. ALL the data is gone! I can't tell you how many times I have had to re-ask the person for their information after I had to make a change to their callsign. I can tell you that listening to many DXPeditions, if they use this program, they would have the same problem as I have heard them get all the information and then get corrected for the callsign. Am I missing something here? And. Why doesn't DX4WIN use the preferences setup to signify what bands modes that they work? I don't use CLOVER, PACKTOR, etc. It would be nice to see these disappear from you choices on the entry screen. 73 DE AI3W, Rick --- 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.

Yes yes yes! This is a major problem, it's even worse if you didn't notice what happened.

[Dx4win] CW & DX4WIN
Hi All, May I ask a hopefully simple question. I understand from DX4WIN manual that I can link up my PC (XP Pent 4) to key jack and "type" morse directly from the computer keyboard. But can I link up my rig (ICOM IC 756 Pro II) so that DX4WIN can de-code the morse too?? I noticed in a recent review of Writelog (in Radcom) that that software can, but can DX4WIN do it to, if so how??? Kind Regards =A0 Tony G8DQZ/M0DQZ

No. In any case, software reading of CW doesn't work very well unless S/N is very good and code is near perfect... ie machine generated. - Original Message - From: "Tony Lord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 07:19 Subject: [Dx4win] CW & DX4WIN Hi All, May I ask a hopefully simple question.

Actually, the technology has advanced some. The better programs can handle a poorer S/N and some more non -perfect code than they used to. Here's probably the best program at it (but, of course, the human ear is STILL a better Morse decoder than any program) http://www.dxsoft.com/en/products/cwget/ - Original Message - From: "Mel Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tony Lord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 9:41 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] CW & DX4WIN > No. In any case, software reading of CW doesn't work very well unless S/N is > very good and code is near perfect... ie machine generated. > > - Original Message - > From: "Tony Lord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: > Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 07:19 > Subject: [Dx4win] CW & DX4WIN > > > Hi All, > > May I ask a hopefully simple question.

Tony, There's no CW decoder built into DX4WIN. I often use the keyboard in slower QSOs as I have trouble slowing down to novice speeds. 73 de Tom, K4NR - Original Message - From: "Tony Lord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 6:19 AM Subject: [Dx4win] CW & DX4WIN Hi All, May I ask a hopefully simple question.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN going out?
True, but the differences are that N1MM is a contest program and DX4Win is a logging program that tracks awards, countries, etc. N1MM clearly outlines that on his web page. You have to use the right tool for the job. ;) Mike VA3MW - Original Message - From: "Milan Gütter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 5:15 PM Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN going out? > I must say, the DX4WIN is a great program, but is going more and more > quickly out. > The main reason is, that users suggestions aren't implemented, in general. > > When I compare the DX4WIN for example with WWW.N1MM.COM , I see the abysmal > difference. > During past 12 months the N1MM (which is free!) has 20 or 30 or more > upgrades, the DX4WIN - no one. > The DX4WIN users needs are ignored. > > Look > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/N1MMLogger/ > > > > :---((( > > > 73 Milan, OK1FM > > > ___ > Dx4win mailing list > Dx4win@mailman.qth.net > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win >
