[Dx4win] 7.02 available
- Original Message - From: "Andy Hewitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 3:48 PM Subject: RE: [Dx4win] 7.02 available I have 7.02 working now but, in my case still very strange results when I click on a spot. I was on 14260 and clicked on a spot for a stn working cw split on 18MHz. The rig went to split mode but left the RX on 14260 and qsy'd the TX to 18150. I have checked this with other spots and result is always similar. The rig is TS950SDX. Apart from that everything went smoothly and everything else seems to be functioning. 73 Andy G3SVD FYI Andy, The Kenwood rig file when used with the TS950SDX has been a bit flaky since Ver. 5, especially when selecting split frequency spots. I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to get it to work correctly and consistently to no avail. It seems to be affected by status of the A & B VFO's and if the Sub receiver was on or off prior to the clicking of the new spot. It also never seemed to have the ability to shut down the sub receiver when selecting a new spot, simplex in nature, if the sub receiver was previously in use. As I recall, it always left the sub receiver frequency where it was, in the mode it was, regardless of the new spot. At times? the A & B VFO's would set to the correct frequencies, but the B VFO mode would not change. This was just one of the frustrating issues that I couldn't seem to resolve, nor get anyone's attention to act upon it, except for one other TS950SDX user who is now a SK. The other issues of the implementation of the control tab in ver 6 which no longer allowed you to select a COM port for PSK31 in the PSK31 window, (as was the case in Ver 5) was the straw that broke the camel's back for me to switch software. In Ver. 6, to change from CW mode, (using the memories in the CW keyboard, using the same Com port as is used for rig control), to PSK31 mode, (using a different Com port for PSK31 PTT) required one to go into preferences and change the Com port selection as well as the function of the Com port (CW Keyboard OR PSK31 PTT) and then change these parameters back every time one changed modes between CW & PSK31, which was totally an unacceptable and time consuming process. What were they thinking?? Version 5.03 and later Versions 6.xx were far too cumbersome for me, and some others that operated both CW and PSK31 modes, and frequently switched between the two modes. This information seems to have fallen on deaf ears as it has been reported a number of times over the past 4 years or so with no response or actions to remedy these things that once worked fine. I guess those of us affected are in a minority or have switched to other software that works better for us. I paid for the upgrade to ver. 6 but found it not to be usable and the inherent newly created bugs never addressed in the future maintenance versions. I downloaded the ver. 7 trial and saw the same problems, while still using ver. 5.02 at the time. Myself and a number of others did some changes to other software last year. In all honesty, it's not perfect either, but it was a step in the right direction for those who use both the CW keyboard / memories as well as PSK31 with PTT control. Rotator control is also easier with "buttons" rather than a pull down menu or using the keyboard F11 / Cntrl F11. I may at some point try downloading the latest ver. 7.02 demo, but doubt it will be worth the time as these issues have apparently not been addressed, as there is no mention of them in the list of changes. Kudos to Jim-AD1C for all the time and efforts he has put forth towards keeping DX4WIN databases current and accurate.

I could not exit the program and had to terminate it with Ctrl/Alt/Del "end process." After reading N2TU's post about being able to do a successful import the 2nd time, I tried importing the LoTW ADIF report again. The import was successful. But when I tried to close the log file after the successful 2nd import, 7.02 crashed again with more exception errors and had to be terminated using the Ctrl/Alt/Del "end process." Paul, if you need the specific addresses of the access violations and read errors, let me know, and I'll be glad to send them. I do want to thank Paul for a number of the revisions in version 7.02, and in particular adding more modes to various reports. And I particularly appreciate his making the upgrade available at no charge. Cliff K0CA

[Dx4win] 7.02 Disapointing
Well I'm disappointed! The problem of the DX spots taking control of the entry window with NO rig control has NOT been fixed. Further more I have come up with a problem importing the "lotwreport.adi" usual procedure for importing an adi file then I choose "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirm flag" then I get this error message, "An exception occurred! Access violation at address 005EADOE in module 'dx4win.exe'. Read of address 01D85288" I click OK nothing imported and DX4WIN appears to continue operating until you go to close then another error message. "An exception occurred! Access violation at address 005EBOCE in module 'dx4win.exe'. Read of address 01D89284" Click OK, goes away till you try to close, again another error message! "An exception occurred! Access violation at address in module 'dx4win.exe'. Read of address " This one repeats each time you try to close, only way to get the now broken program off your screen is Ctrl + Alt + Delete and tell windows that despite its warnings of doom to end the task anyway. I believe no data has been entered from the import process. Have I missed something here? 73 John ZL1BYZ.

THERE IS NO NEW KEY FOR 7.02 Use the same key I provided you with 7.01. If I sent the 7.01 program to you on a CD ROM, that is where you will find the key file. It will be called 'yourcall'.key. For those of you that got program via Internet download, use the same key file I sent you as an email attachment when you purchased 7.01. If you can not find it, there is a copy in your current 7.01 program. Look in the dx4w701 folder for this file. "Move' or 'copy' this file to the new installations' folder, which is C:\program files\dx4w702 (by default.) REAL IMPORTANT: Do yourself a BIG favor and copy the installation file you downloaded from the web page to a CD ROM disk, zip drive or USB drive. Point is, keep a copy on a safe place. In the future, when your computer is replaced, or your HD fails, it is your responsibility to have this program, not mine. If the program is no longer on the home page, because that version has been superceded, the only thing I can offer you is an upgrade to the then current version. 73 de Steve, NR4M Rapidan Data Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] "DX4WIN... the way logging software should be" Free demo at www.dx4win.com
