[Dx4win] Secondary backup directory error
When closing DX4WIN I got the following message: "Error using secondary backup directory".. I have not received this message before. Can anyone help me resolve this message?

[Dx4win] Generating a report which selects only QRP QSOs
I have historically generated a report of QRP QSOs per year and then
massaged the data from which I determined how many QRP countries I have
worked both for the year and total. This was done by checkmarking, ("x") a
list of country identifiers and summing the "x"es. Is there a way to get
this information from DX4WIN? Any comments or suggestions would be
appreciated.
Jim, AA8OY

Re: [Dx4win] Can't open window with File, Radio and Help commands
Jim, Yes, the problem is solved. Mike referred me to Kostas's instruction sheet, which worked perfectly.

[Dx4win] Can't open window with File, Radio and Help commands
I closed DX4WIN and reloaded the program a while later. For whatever reason the window containing the "*File, Radio and Help*" commands did not open. I could not find the correct link to get it to open. I'm hoping someone can advise the correct keystrokes to get it open.

Zoran, Thanks for the suggestions. I confirmed Label and Cnfm boxes were checked "Y" and entered the QSL Date.

[Dx4win] Printing labels for newly received Bureau QSL cards.
Today I received an envelope of cards of which about 20-30 requested QSL cards in return. I went into DX4WIN and changed the N to Y in the Label Cnfm box for the cards in question. Now, the problem is to print labels for just the cards I entered today. I don't think I can use Selection to create a group of these cards because the log has about 55,000 entries and the dates on the cards range from1997 into 2021. I don't want to erase existing "Y" Cnfm for the 29,000+ QSOs that have it. Anyone having suggestions on how to print labels would be welcomed! 73, Jim, AA8OY __ 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] Importing .adi files and converting them to DXL file format
FYI, I'm a new user trying to get DX4WIN up and running. Following a computer failure, I've been looking at ways to recover my log file QSOs. With the help of others, a number of recovery efforts were made which were only partially successful. I'm ready to try to download my LOTW.adi file and convert it to a DXL file which is readable by DX4WIN. Can someone walk me through the conversion process? I also want to merge WSJT .adi files into my main log. I assume it would be the same as the LOTW conversion. Last and also important to me is uploading QSOs to LOTW. It is not clear to me how to make a selection and then submit it to LOTW. I haven't found the instructions for this. Input from the reflector would be greatly appreciated.

[Dx4win] Moving logs to DX4WIN & opening a packet cluster window
I would like any information that provides directions to convert MacLogger DX (MLDX) logs to a format that can be read by DX4WIN.. I have about 50,000 QSOs I'd really like to bring in. How do I create an adi file that contains all the data, not just the condensed type sent to ARRL? I'm also very interested in the steps to open a packet cluster window in DX4WIN. Can anyone help me with this? I had it open once but must admit I don't know how I opened it. It was fully functional in that clicking on a spot moved it to the QSO field. I've only had the program installed for about a week and a lot of it has yet to be tried.

When the Test/Read is pushed he main freq,QSX freq and mode at the bottom of the Test /read the radio correctly but the program freq and mode are wrong.I have tried all three K3 files, (k3, K3 X4 and X5) without success.

I just received and installed DX4WIN on my Win 10 computer. No matter what combination of settings I tried, I couldn't get them talking.
