Re: [Dx4win] V8.05 PROBLEM
It sounds like you are just opening the same old V5 log 'again'... Watch what you name your new log and where you save it. Then open that log next time... Save it as a 'save as' and rename it N4TJ-V8.05 as an example. Then when you restart DX4WIN it will automatically open that log. 73, Art W6KY ..

My PC is having problems opening zip files, and I had a tough time opening the license key. After 4 days and some help from Paul, I finally got it to load. I managed to salvage all but 150 or so of the V503 log. These were loaded manually. I noticed that the countries database was missing Z8 and closed the log to make the addition. When I did this, the log file reverted back to the V503 log and those added were lost. Every time I close the log to access the countries database, the log reverts back to V503. Could anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong?

Re: [Dx4win] USB to parallel port
Yes, I stand corrected concerning the USB-to-Parallel vs. USB-to-Serial mix-up. And yes the converters the RIGBlaster people sell are the Prolific chipset which did not work for me for even something as simple as having the PC read the rigs frequency with N1MM or WRITELOG. I was also told at Visalia not to try the Prolific chipset with HRD.

That's just the way it works. I like it, so I can fill in all band/mode holes.

Re: [Dx4win] V8.05 PROBLEM
Also after you save your log with all the latest changes go to FILE and open the SAVE AS window and check the date and time of your .DXL file. It should be the same date/time as when you just did the save. IF NOT, you are saving the log in a different location. I learned this from a mistake I made years ago when I accidentally changed my save location to an EXT HD as a means of back up. After that my log kept getting saved to the EXT HD and not the C:\DX4WIN file where it should have gone. After that, whenever I want to back up my .DXL file I open the SAVE AS window, right click on my .DXL file and then use the SEND TO function to send a copy of the file to other devices.
