[Dx4win] K1EL keyer
Hi, Thanks for the comments. I hope that Paul can add support for it soon. Its a great keyer and solves all the keying reliability problems that Windows ( especially XP) adds to trying to drive CW through the DTR pin of a serial port!. By sending ASCII down a serial port and having the K1EL keyer manage the keying of the rig gives consistent and predictable keying irrespective of what is going on in the Windows environment. I've worked out what I was doing to make it work. WKTERM is a dos application that can be used to test the K1EL keyer. I was running that under a DOS BOX in XP, and then opened up DX4WIN. K1EL keyer was on a serial port that was not used by DX4WIN so they both coexisted together and I was able to use the paddle connected to K1EL to key the rig, but of course none of the DX4Win macros worked! OK for a temp workaround! 73 de Paul G3WYW - Original Message - From: Paul Bigwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 10:42 PM Subject: [Dx4win] K1EL keyer Hi all, newby with DX4WIN. Does anyone know if DX4WIN supports the K1EL keyer? I am sure that I have had it working on DX4Win but cant seem to make it work now! K1EL keyer is a great external keyer for contest and logging under windows. Also are there some windows you cannot close? The Packet window X box does not close the window. I can only minimize it. Any reason for this? 73 de Paul G3WYW Paul Bigwood G3WYW ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
[Dx4win] QSL printing
John et al: Rod, WC7N points out that if one right-clicks in the Callsign/Mgr Lookup window, or presses Alt-M while that window is active, the contents of the window are copied to the QSL Mgr window and the callsign is displayed in the entry box. It may still be necessary to edit out non-address info, such as lat/long, grid square, county,etc. but this eliminates a select/copy/paste operation! BTW, Rod and I are corresponding with K1XN about the optimum settings in the Preferences/Ext Data window. Neither Rod nor I have a checkmark in the (EXE) path, but, following Rod's advice, I have entered C:\GOLIST\GOWIN32.DLL in the (DLL) path and enabled (checked) it. I think we are getting closer. Garry, NI6T Garry, I have the same issue with RAC 2004 with respect to getting address labels. What I do is, is to enter the call in the QSL manager window and then hit F3 to get the data from RAC. I then select the portion of the data I want to use for the address and copy it using cntrl C and then close the RAC data window. Then in the QSL manager window, I hit cntrl E and paste the address data that I copied previously. This works, but is pretty cumbersome. If you find a better way, I sure would like to know about it. I am thinking that it is this way because there is a lot of extraneous data that comes from RAC that is not pertinent to the needed address.
