[Dx4win] Sub Mode Breaking LOTW Confirmations?

2019-10-31 Thread Allan W Schlaugat
Just checking to see if this is operator error or a bug/issue. When I set
the submode in DX4WIN 9.07 (for example, SSB with a submode of USB), I do
not get matches when I download the LOTW .adi file with confirmations, even
if everything else matches up (date, time, call, mode, frequency, etc). The
.notfound file has these contacts marked with a X on the far left column.
If the submode is set, it will not match. I tested this with SSB and USB
and LSB and in every case if I delete the submode in DX4WIN, it will match
the very same .adi I just downloaded from LOTW. I haven't tested it with
MSFK and submode FT4 yet.

Any ideas?

[Dx4win] Now this is a odd one 9.0.5

2019-06-19 Thread Allan W Schlaugat
Upgraded to 9.0.5 and the process went smoothly. The only issue I am having
is the same others are seeing (update cluster and iota files in a endless
loop). But this one has me stumped. (Windows 7 SP2 64 bit)

The upgrade deleted itself from the start menu > all programs. It also
deleted its uninstall file so I am not able to uninstall it automatically.
The registry is not showing any uninstall file available. In fact, the
registry doesn't even know DX4WIN exists. But I am able to run 9.0.5 with
no issues whatsoever.
This is not a killer for me and otherwise 9.0.5 is working great. And the
new skins look great too. The addition of memberships to the logging screen
is very useful as well.
Keeps getting better IMHO

ThanksAl   N9ISN

For many years I ran this program to 'split' the COM port to two programs
that needed rig control. It worked fantastic! The 32 bit version is free.

I later got a Microham MK2+. Its router software has that capability built
in so I didn't need VSPE anymore.

Good luck!   73   Al  N9ISN

I believe in sharing the road with other drivers.  They can
have the part behind me.

Re: [Dx4win] Commander

2012-04-05 Thread Allan W Schlaugat
Hi Joe...
Very interesting. I did not know this about VSPE. Seems to work very well
with the apps and hardware I have. In fact, my setup is a Yaesu Ft5000
sending com port data to DX4WIN, N1MM and SpecraVue all at the same time
with no hiccups. My FT847 is also connected and N1MM directly accesses that
(SO2R) and I can turn it on with DX4WIN manually of course. But everyone
seems to be happy. (knock on wood)

Thank you for enlightening me on the inner workings of each app.

I use VSPE to let my Ftdx-5000, SDR-IQ, DX4WIN and N1MM all share the same
virtual com ports at the same time. Easy to set up and free. For Windows.

http://www.eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html

Works the same way as the microHAM router software without the need to get
the microHAM interface. Acts like a old time 'TSR' program that sits in the
background and does its thing like a traffic cop. Works great!
