You can do it by modifying the Labels Greeting setting in Preferences 
under Rep/Lab tab.

[Dx4win] How long to wait for a new license key ?

2018-03-21 Thread Dave Sharred via DX4WIN

Hi;

I finally chose to upgrade my DX4WIN to the latest on Sunday, I got the 
order confirmation immediately.


How long are we then waiting for the new key?

I ordered an Echo Dot at the same time, that arrived in the post today !!

(Its not in by Junk mail folder either )

Hi John, 
I think you summed up well, what quite a few are saying off reflector.
Let's hope this is the starting point for some further (quick) developments.

Thanks Paul and the dedicated team - it's all installed perfectly here on W10 
with DropBox hosted log-files. All the country totals are correct too.

There has already been mention of the next release - now that the basics are 
sorted out, can we expect some real enhancements next time around? 
(and the packet filtering bug fixed, too?)

It would be good to understand the road-map, if there is one?  In my mind, the 
enhancements offered do not particularly warranty a version upgrade, they're 
'point upgrade' features that should have come out a long time ago. I'm really 
disappointed by it - the only real benefit for me is the ability to log FT8 
QSOs, the rest is superficial. Others may view it differently of course.

I do like DX4WIN for its multiple groups functionality, stability, interface, 
speed and powerful searching but we're now in 2017 and people use MMVARI, 
FLDIGI, WSJT-X, Clublog etc... I'm sure there is more to come. Modern day 
logging software needs to interface with these tools; for a 'paid for' product 
I would expect much more than what has been delivered.

I've paid and I'll stick with it because I know it. But probably not for much 
longer, I feel I'm being taken for a ride here.

Hi,

When you order the update using an AOL email address, the chances are high
I never get to see that order. GMAIL has issues with AOL when they are sent
from the order form. If you use AOL, contact me direct.

Also, the installer is self contained; you do not need to have an older
version of DX4WIN installed.

Re: [Dx4win] changing QSO IOTA award status by downloaded CSV file ?

2017-03-27 Thread Dave Sharred via DX4WIN


Hi Paul, 
If you're ever looking at Clublog filters, and how they import/ modify Dx4win 
data,  I use OQRS now as my prime means for label printing, since I have many 
requests now on line, for the DX calls we have used. 
When I then imprt the QSL status into DX4Win, I noticed the ARRL update reverts 
to unsent. 
I know this is mainly due to the clublog export adi file,  but it would be good 
if there was an import option that only updated QSL status
