[Dx4win] QSO Look Up anomaly
I am running DX4WIN V8.05 on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Recently, an anomaly has shown up. When I search for past QSOs using F8, inconsistent look-up results show up. I normally have the desktop simultaneously showing the logbook window, and the "Same Callsign" window. When I press F8 to enter a call sign for look up, the "logbook sorted by date" window will show one result, and the "Same Callsign" window will show a different result, simultaneously. For example, I was looking for past QSOs with KD3WK who sent me a paper QSL card. The "Same Call Sign" window incorrectly returned a QSO I had with KD3DK. The window showed only this particular QSO. But in the "Logbook sorted by Date" I found the QSO I had with KD3WK (correct), and the report of the QSO I had with KD3DK that was showing in the "Same Call Sign" window. Note the slight difference in the call sign letters. This is happening with many station call signs. Any ideas? 73 de NN3V Charlie Never Believe What You Think!! __ 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] QSO Look Up anomaly
In your SETUP PARAMETERS/SEARCHING CALLSIGN what setting are you using? If it is not set to EXACT give that a try. I understand what you are saying and of course it is not supposed to do that. In about 15 yrs of using DX4WIN I have never seen that behavior. I have the same setup as you (WIN 7/DX4WIN ver 8.05) Good Luck, Alan, K7ACZ -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of NN3V_6 Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2012 6:42 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] QSO Look Up anomaly I am running DX4WIN V8.05 on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit.

There are four different kinds of callsign matches. It sounds like you have "Fuzzy" selected in your preferences. Having said that, if your QSO window is showing a particular call as the result of a search, that same call/QSO should be highlighted in both the Same Call and the Logbook windows. If it is not, then something is wrong. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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] QSO Look Up anomaly
Why would one want to do that? The DX Cluster is meant to provide information on operations that may be of special interest to fellow users, not to be a copy of my logbook. If everybody did that, the DX Clusters would be overloaded and not so useful.

[Dx4win] Spot all QSOs was: Re: QSO Look Up anomaly
N1MM Logger has the capability of automatically spotting all S&P QSOs, which is good during contests (SS on Sunday afternoon) but I agree with others that this is not desirable for ordinary operating, and certainly not for QSOs where you are the one calling CQ! 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.

Re: [Dx4win] Posting LogBook entries to clusters
I hope not! The DXcluster network is filled with clutter that takes a supercomputer to filter down to what is important. With the RBN's posting every CQ and appliance ops postings, an unfiltered DXcluster is worthless.

I've been running it for several weeks now, and I love it. it's less distracting when DX4WIN isn't on the monitor I'm currently doing real work on. In your preferences, on the Screen tab, make sure you check "Leave all windows in original position". Otherwise when you exit DX4WIN and re-start, the windows will all be moved back to the default monitor. Also be careful doing things like updating graphics drivers while DX4WIN is running. It can re-size or move the windows during the update. Even though Windows 7 no longer makes me reboot after updating my NVIDIA drivers, I always try to make sure that any critically-sized program (like DX4WIN) is closed, so windows don't get re-sized or moved. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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
[Dx4win] Posting LogBook entries
I agree that there is a lot of "over-spotting" taking place over the Cluster Network. We've seen a lot of "TNX for the nice QSO, 73" spots lately which seems pretty worthless to me. Why would the World care about somebody thanking for a QSO which they just thanked over the air? Anyway I'd like to be able to place a station on my BandMap that I just worked but didn't spot since it was common or of no concern to Cluster Users. In CT, I do it with CTRL-ENTER. I'd like to do it in DX4WIN without spotting it on the Cluster. Is that capability there now and I haven't found it?

If you are connected to a CC cluster node, you can use the "dxtest" command to send a spot that only you will receive. Because it looks like any other spot, it will be added to your band map.
