Re: [Dx4win] Deleting older versions?
One thing to add (based on an experience I just had trying to remove 8.03): In DX4WIN 8.0x, first uninstall the LPT driver by going into the: dx4w803\lptdriver directory and running unins000.exe. Then uninstall that version of DX4WIN. Otherwise, the lptdriver directory won't be removed. You will need to run the lptdriver installation again with your most recent version of DX4WIN if you need it. 73 - Jim AD1C On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 12:09 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu wrote: On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Eric Rosenberg ericrosenberg...@gmail.com wrote: Now that I'm up to date with DX4Win, how do I (or do I altogether) delete older versions?

Re: [Dx4win] Deleting older versions?
Jim, Just for the record, I uninstalled the lpt driver as you suggested. I then reinstalled it under 8.04. However, it prompted me to install the driver in the dx4w803\lptdriver folder -- which would have put it right back in the folder that I had just uninstalled. So I merely typed in a new directory and selected the main dx4w804 directory under Program Files. Works fine. Your emails about deleting older versions prompted me to do just that yesterday. I also upgraded to 8.04 without a hitch. BTW, nice working you in the NAQP yesterday.

[Dx4win] Some questions
V8.03 * I selected maximum spot age as 30 minutes. Why does the Spot window continue to display spots older than 30 minutes? I can manually delete old spots by right-clicking in the spots window and select DELETE OLD SPOTS (30 MIN), but I want it to happen automatically * Panorama display - not sure I understand this or how to get it to work. I am confused about the instructions saying click and hold down the mouse button. In what window? * In the spots window, when I have the spots sorted by priority and I do NOT have the RADIO enabled (CAT connection), I see what I expect to see, the highest priority spots displayed. When I connect to the radio, the order stays the same as with the radio not enabled, but the cursor/selected spot in the spot window seems to float. Is this because it is picking the spot closest to the frequency I am using? I don't want it to do that, if I can disable that feature while the RADIO is ON Mark Lunday, WD4ELG Greensboro, NC FM06be wd4...@arrl.net http://wd4elg.blogspot.com http://wd4elg.net __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I can manually delete old spots by right-clicking in the spots window and select DELETE OLD SPOTS (30 MIN), but I want it to happen automatically Hi Mark, Spot age isn't what you think it is. I'll try to explain best as I can. Let's say 3Y0X in Bouvet is spotted, and you need it for an all-time new one. The first time it's spotted, you'll get an audible spot alert (bell or voice announcement). Now if 3Y0X is spotted again 5 minutes later, you will NOT get another alert. Only when the newest spot is OLDER than the spot age will you get a new alert when there is an incoming spot for the same call. This prevents you from getting alerted every minute when a rare one is on and everyone and their brother (or sister) is making I worked it! spots. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. I suggest you upgrade to 8.04 (latest). -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Some questions
Thanks, Jim! So, I have a follow-on question regarding spot age. Is there a way to automatically delete all spots older than 30 minutes in the spot window?

However, you can calculate the average spots per 30 minutes then size the window for that many spots. That's the only way I know. But in times of heavy spots, the window may only have last 15 minutes worth, and during slow hours, maybe 60 minutes worth - it's not an exact science. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
