I also found AJ7T was not credited. AJ7 was also 'incorrectly' in the file.

Re: [Dx4win] Not getting WPX credit for AC9 and AC0
I just checked the wpxdelt.txt file and the AC9 and AC0 prefixes are in that file. You need to search the file as the prefixes are NOT in alphabetical order. AC9 and AC0 are currently valid USA prefixes, so why are they in the not current file?

[Dx4win] Stil problems with my IC-7600
Hello again, I have the following problems: When I click on a spot either on the band plan or in the spot window. The callsign turns up in the Callsign field in the loging window. The frequency and the mode changes but the frequency goes back to the initial, i.e. the one on the radio had at start while the mode changes to the one the station I was clicking on had. Eg. if the radio is on 14040 and cw and I click on SM0XX on 14253 DX4WIN add SM0XX and SSB in respective field, the program also changes the frequency to 14253 but after 2-3 seconds it changes back to 14040. When it jump back the Follow radio box is ticked on the band map. The mode remains on SSB. If I turn the VFO dial on the rig the frequency changes accordingly in DX4WIN and remains on the frequency set. The same goes for changing mode on the rig, DX4WIN follows. I can run my TS-590 over an USB A-B connection. I have it set up as second radio and can start it within the program. So my question is , why is not the frequency added in DX4WIN. What setting have I missed? Here are my settings. Using Windows 7 Professional I use the Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART bridge I have the com port set to: Bits per second: 9600 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Row control: None It is Windos 7 Professional I use The radio settings in DX4WIN are ICOM 7600 _K2DBK, i.e. ON4AOI except the filter. Address: 7A Baud Rate: 9600 COM port: COM6 Poll rate (ms): 1000 Max tries: 6 DTR high and RTS high marked I connect the the computer and the rig via an USB A and B cable The settings in the radio are: CI-V baud rate: 9600 CI-V Address: 7Ah CI-V Tranceive: OFF CI-V OutPut (for ANT): OFF USB Serial Function: CI-V 73 de Mel - SM0MPV 8S0C - Contest Call __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Problem connecting a IC7600
Thanks David, I have just tested your RIG file too and I got the same result as earlier. What I see is that when I click on a spot o the band map the program changes frequency bet then very soon goes back to the first one. The callsign for the spoted station remains in the QSO window. When I turn the dial on the radio the frequency changes in the band map and in the QSO window in DX4WIN.

Since it can just communicate with 9600 baud so I believe I am stucked with this baud rate. The communication goes between the remote (CI-V) jack on the rig and the RS 232 connection on the amplifier. 73 de Mel / SM0MPV Den lör 4 aug. 2018 kl 18:22 skrev David Kozinn, K2DBK : > Hi Mel, > > I guess I have a couple of thoughts: Did you install the Icom USB driver? > You're supposed to do that before ever plugging in the radio, although I'm > not sure how important that is.

Re: [Dx4win] Problem connecting a IC7600
Hi Mel, I guess I have a couple of thoughts: Did you install the Icom USB driver? You're supposed to do that before ever plugging in the radio, although I'm not sure how important that is. I am guessing that you did since you said it works with N1MM. I have my baud rate set to 19200 and the CI-V address set to 7A. Here are the other settings since maybe this will help: CI-V Transceive: Off CI-V Output (for ANT): Off USB Serial Function: CI-V In DX4WIN, I have the poll rate set to 1000ms and Max tries set to 6. I've attached a copy of the RIG file that I use. It's basically the same as the standard 7600_500 except that I think I changed the filter to default to off. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Mel SM0MPV Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2018 5:53 AM To: dx4win Subject: [Dx4win] Problem connecting a IC7600 I have just bought an IC 7600 and have been struggling to get the communication between the computer and the rig to work.

Re: [Dx4win] Not getting WPX credit for AC9 and AC0
I should say again that I told that possibly this is a problem ir better this was my problem. I have left blank my wpxdeltd.txt because cq seems to accept everything (at least via eqsl) so I can not check if this is the problem or not. 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 6/8/2018 14:29, ο Leonard Kay έγραψε: The second point seems hard to believe. ‘Not currently issued’ is not the same as ‘not authorized by the ITU’.
