[Dx4win] Win7 / dx4win407 question
This question may be more of a Windows7 question... I have dxwin v407 (yes, I know that's old!) installed on a new Win7/64 machine. It was working fine, when I attempted to update the cty file. I copied the new cty file into the save directory. Now, if I run dx4win not as an administrator, I get the OLD cty file. If I run as administrator, I get the new one. I've tried to delete all old copies of the cty file, but somehow it still finds an old version when not running as administrator. Anyone know what's going on here? How can I get it to use the new file without running as administrator? 73, Tony, K1KP __ 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] Error with Country Add
I'm not sure what you mean by MANUAL MODE? I just worked TO3GA. When I entered his call into DX4WIN the country and prefix boxes were blank. According to the ICPO Bulletin: 13/10/2010: Andreas, DL3GA will be active from Ducos, island of Martinique (IOTA NA-107, DIFO FM-001, WLOTA 1041, DDFM 97) from 13-20 October 2010, using the callsign TO3GA. He will also participate in the Worked All Germany (WAG) Contest. QSL via home call, direct or bureau. [FM5BH] So I just typed FM into the PREFIX box and Martinique filled the country box.

I use VE7CC's "CC User" program on my Windows XP system to connect over the Internet to the W3LPL node. That connection is not what's breaking. I connect from DX4WIN to the loopback (127.0.0.1: 7300) that's the connection that's being dropped. Since there's no indication why this is happening, it could be a bug in CC User as well. I was under the impression that the VE7CC CC User program was what was disconnecting. If it's happening to others not using CC User then perhaps the finger is pointing back? I'll probably have to set up something to sniff the connection so I can figure out what end (CC User or DX4WIN) is causing the disconnect. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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

[Dx4win] CI-V clashing problem
While I was able to skirt the clashing CI-V data problem with DX4WIN and my PW1 working with my IC-7600 I tried "Logger32" logging program. What I see is logger32 does not suffer the problem that DX4WIN does with clashing data. When running logger32 logging program I can see the frequency in its QSO window change as I turn my 7600's VFO dial but never see bogus frequency displayed in logger32 QSO window. I can't figure out why logger32 runs fine and DX4WIN has the clashing CI-V data problem. Anyone know what the difference could be and maybe DX4WIN could do the same thing? Thanks.

If you have the updated country file from AD1C they should show up flagged in the appropriate colors whenever they appear. If you had them as a callsign alert it'd show up on every spot, which I'd assume would get annoying pretty quickly. However, here's the help file info for that field: Callsign Alert If you specify a callsign in this field, DX spots will be monitored for this callsign regardless of band or mode. The spot will have the same color as if it was a new country. Multiple calls can be specified by separating the calls by a comma. In addition, you can use the '*' (asterisk) as a wild character match as the first or the last character in a callsign. For example, the string P5*,*/P5 will match any North Korea station, including a portable callsign. In addition to callsigns specified in this field, callsigns specified in the membership list using the '@' character can be treated as if they were specified here. You will also have to enable the 'Check @ callsigns' option on the Packet2 tab.

Re: [Dx4win] Working with CW keyboard
Due to a medical condition I am unable to use a paddle at any speed higher than 16-18 wpm so I use the MicroHam CW keyer. It has a PS2 connection for a separate keyboard which can be programmed and is always available. It also serves as the rig control/CW interface for Dx4win and other contest logging programs.

Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card???
Tnx David, This what I had done, I think it used to work. It would flag the Alert callsigns RED needed new regardless even if worked previously, if I remember correctly. I have in alert box PJ2*,PJ4*,PJ5*,PJ7* DX Window is not responding to the 'always on alert" Tnx agn, 73 Bernie/WO2N. PS: tnx for the help file info.> I using Ver 5.3 if it matters - Original Message - From: David Kozinn To: wo2n Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 8:37 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card??? If you have the updated country file from AD1C they should show up flagged in the appropriate colors whenever they appear. If you had them as a callsign alert it'd show up on every spot, which I'd assume would get annoying pretty quickly. However, here's the help file info for that field: Callsign Alert If you specify a callsign in this field, DX spots will be monitored for this callsign regardless of band or mode. The spot will have the same color as if it was a new country. Multiple calls can be specified by separating the calls by a comma. In addition, you can use the '*' (asterisk) as a wild character match as the first or the last character in a callsign. For example, the string P5*,*/P5 will match any North Korea station, including a portable callsign. In addition to callsigns specified in this field, callsigns specified in the membership list using the '@' character can be treated as if they were specified here. You will also have to enable the 'Check @ callsigns' option on the Packet2 tab.

[Dx4win] Working with CW keyboard
Hi, Any way of keeping the CW keyboard always functional? In heat of battle I inevitably bring up a window I don't want, when I needed to sent out my callsign when I hit the F keys, and miss another call out. In other words you must stay in CW window when sending CW, no chance to multitask.
