[Dx4win] Second Monitor problem...
Guy and DX4WINers, Success and here's how it was done 1. I ran an old version of DX4WIN...before I had two screens...arranged the screens the way I wanted them...then checked the Leave windows box in the Preferences] Screen tab... 2. Then I copied the DX4WIN.cfg file from the old version to the save directory of the existing version. (Thanks Guy for this hint!) 3. I then opened the new version...ignoring the warning screen about differing config files...all my screens come up on my primary monitor. 4. I rearranged the screens to my liking...and exited the program... 5. Rebooted DX4WIN ...And voila! All appears to bee in order... Hopefully no one else will experience the problem of a second monitor (or video card) going bad...but if you do, the above should help... Thanks to all who responded... 73/ Regards...

[Dx4win] Monitor Problem...Second screen.
DX4WINers! My dual monitor card went south today...and I was able to get all the applications which were running on the second screen back on the Primary screenexcept DX4WIN. I've replaced the dual monitor card with my old single card, so the computer only knows about one screen... Usually, a right click on the TaskBar ICON and then a 'Move' will do the trick however, the DX4WIN ICON doesn't have a 'Move' parameter. I believe there is an .ini setting but I've been unable to find it... So the question is ...how do you get DX4WIN to revert back to the primary (now only) monitor? Any help?... 73/ Regards...

Re: [Dx4win] Auto Packet Connection & Services
Terry, Read the below messages between Paul and myself in 2007 regarding the very same issue you raised... In addition to what Stan N3HS has mentioned, I wrote a very simple .bat file which boots DX4WIN, ARuser (VE7CC), Ham Clock and HamCap and put this in my start-up folder. When my PC starts, all the above programs boot and VE7CC automatically connects to the cluster. What is still missing is the connection from DX4WIN to ARuser, which I asked for in thee below email to Paul. If you or anyone would like a copy of my .bat file, just let me know...of course you'll have to slightly modify it for your file locations... Maybe Paul will give us an option in the next release...hope the above helps! 73 Lou N2TU "Hi Paul!... Yes, I already moved it to the top A lot of us are using VE7CC software as a "front end" for DX4WIN...it allows a lot of easy automatic filteringDX4WIN really flies when you eliminate all the crap on the clusters I wrote a simple "bat" file which boots DX4WIN and VE7CC programs...along with HamCap and HamCLocksimply click a DX4WIN Icon and my screens are filled with DX4WIN and the other programseverything needed for logging, propagation forecasting, filtering, etc The only thing missing is the automatic connection to the previously used internet connectionit sure would be nice to click DX4WIN and have the program boot and connectas I said, it would be a neat option 73...take care!

RE: [Dx4win] Freq doesn't change properly when clicking a spot.
Guy, You are 100% correct! There are no standards. Even for the most used commands like set VFO A, Set VFO B, read VFO A, etc... Yaesu is currently updating their CAT Operations Manual and it may be posted this week and they are standardizing the commands for the FT2000, 950 and 9000, but I do not know about ICOM. As for the current offset problem, inserting delays did not help the Yaesu radios. 73 Lou N2TU _ From: ON4AOI [mailto:on4...@skynet.be] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 3:09 PM To: 'Louis Dietrich' Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Freq doesn't change properly when clicking a spot.

Jim, I posted this a few days agoIt was in regard to my FT2000 and FT 9000... "DX4Winers, and Paul I am experiencing some problems with the latest version... Using identical rig files, as we used in 7.05.03 , here's what is happening in 7.06.02. 1. If the rig is on SSB and I click on a CW spot, say 7044, the rig goes to 7044.7. If I click on the same spot again, the rig shows 7044... 2. If I then click on another CW spot, the rig goes to the correct frequency. 3. If I then click on a SSB spot 14185 (Rig still on CW), the rig goes to 14184.3. If I click on the same spot, the frequency read 14185... Something has changed in the latest version of DX4WIN I have switched back and forth between the versions...and have the same rig files in both Can anyone else verify the above?"

[Dx4win] FT2000 Split Operation and DX4WIN
DX4Winners, When DX4WIN puts the Yaesu FT2000(D) into split, it activates VFO B's receiver along with VFO B's transmitter. This puts VFO A RX in one ear and VFO B RX in the other My personal preference is to have VFO A Receiver remain active for two reasons 1. If my Sub (VFO B) volume is set high, I'll get a blast of pile up audio in one ear...makes my eyes cross! 2. I like to listen to the DX side of the pile-up (with both ears) and only use the VFO B receiver to help spot the calling stationsso I prefer to manually push the VFO B RX button when I need it... I've changed the rig file for the FT2000 to leave VFO A's RX active in both ears, while still activating VFO B's TX... If you want a copy of my rig file to try it out, I would be glad to send it to you... 73... Lou N2TU ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

It is still missing workable rig files...long after rigs have been in the field...when I first got my new rig, I found Paul to be very helpful...he worked long and hard and spent many hours on the phone working through Yaesu unique CAT problemsmaybe those with sub-par rig files can contact him to work through the issuesDX4WIN usually lags behind the other logging programs...users and Paul need to be proactively engaged to keep the program current... 2. The Country file update problem shouldn't be!Paul should write an easy to use sub-program which will allow even the most Novice DX4WIN user to update countries, IOTAs, etcthis is a "must" for Paul to work on! 3. The LOTW export and import functions are cumbersome, at best. It is not even a separate routine...and is listed under "Labels"...LOTW is no longer an after thoughtit is here to stay...And there is no easy way to see what submissions are "hard card" related versus LOTW confirmed...and DX4WIN doesn't support "eQSL" (yuck!)Take a look at DXLabs and see how an easy to use and efficient routine should be...Paul, attention is required 4. DX4WIN doesn't easily (or not at all!) integrate with other utility programs such as DX Atlas or HamCap 5. Thank Goodness for Jim! AD1C ...his DX4WIN add-ons are invaluable and his untiring support is the only reason I am staying with DX4WINthere are plenty of other logging/ tracking programs availablesome free...which do more than DX4WIN and are easier to usebut Jim's proactive support is making it a difficult decision to leave...but we should *have* to rely on Jim for every day issues like country adds While I fully understand that this program is not the only job that the developers have...and that ongoing support is not a profitable business...it is important to the users that this program is at least on par with the other offerings available...and that requires some dedicated developer support timeI am sure everyone has their "beefs"...so maybe Paul can give us a link where we can air them...and he can tell us if they are fixable...and when I am not trying to stir the pot here...just trying to make our venerable DX4WIN more user friendly and germane.to ignore user problems by claiming to be a "happy user" does little, in my opinion, to help matters...there *are* issues that need to be addressed 73 es HNY Lou N2TU -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Naumann Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 8:44 AM To: 'REFLECTOR dx4win' Subject: RE: [Dx4win] i am the happier user of DX4WIN Kostas and I have found two paths to happiness with DX4win. His is to have all of his unique call assignments added to the AD1C updates, mine is to never update my country file from the one I have built over the years with my unique assignments in it. Same result -> no problems. Let's face it, the way to add a new country in Dx4win is a very strange one indeed. But, new countries come along so rarely that it should not be that difficult to follow the strange process every so often. 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: Kostas SV1DPI [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 11:47 PM To: REFLECTOR dx4win Subject: [Dx4win] i am the happier user of DX4WIN I believe the strongest point of dx4win is this what you are talking about. We write a call and we all have the right country and the right zone. I am tha cq checker in Greece and a friend was asking me what is this zone 2, never worked. I asked his log because i was sure he has worked the zone as he participates in contests very often and dx4win found 2-3 stations worked. He used logger. Also same results with other programs. What is the more important from a logging program. These two: 1. Keep the log right 2. shows the right country file. You say that your log is not right because a call xxx is not mapped or my manager is not in there. i have solved this sometime ago. I have written in relfector also and i asked everyone to do the same. Sent your country files to Jim AD1C. He will have them included in next release and you have not worried abt your dxcc totals. I write every mngr i want to add in a piece of paper and send them to Jim also. Why you don't do the same? I hadn't ever a problem with the log. Kostas sv1dpi PS1: I agree there is a need for a utility or something like that to help anyone with a problem with his counties, even i hadn't any problem (probably lucky or good computer p
[Dx4win] FTDX9000D and DX4WIN
Anyone have any success with getting DX4WIN to control the FTdx9000D? There was some chatter a while ago but I couldn't find any recent info Thanks... 73 Lou N2TU From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 25 23:22:05 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Kjos) Date: Thu Jan 25 23:24:06 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] FTDX9000D and DX4WIN References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lou, nothing yet.
