[Dx4win] No Bureau bug?
As I try to catch up on a couple of years og QSLing this weekend, I ran into an oddity... maybe a bug? I selected the option under Labels to "Change QSL routing" I wanted to change anything marked as Bureau to Direct if there was no Bureau available. DX4Win changed the routing of cards for contries without a bureau that were being routed to a QSL manager in a country that had a bureau to Direct.

[Dx4win] Printers for QSLing
As I am about to print in excess of 1500 QSL cards, I am thinking I might change my printer. The Brother I use now does a pretty good job on card stock... but I can only load about 10 cards at a time... that means reloading the printer 150 times... not much fun.

Re: [Dx4win] xu8dx
Yes I know Jim... that's why I originally sent it to F2YS...

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
Check again... you should see this order: CW, SSB, RTTY, ASCI, ATV, and so on. I still think inactive modes should not appear at all... generally D4W is very good at data entry in off-line mode without using the mouse if you set up the "disable fields" which just disables tabs to that field ... but if I enter an SSB contact followed by a CW contact I have to hit the C twice when Mode has the focus to step through Clover. Not a big deal... just untidy... Terry wrote: > I'm not seeing this behavior.

Re: [Dx4win] pre-1975 cw qsos
This doesn't address the fact that a CW contact prior to 1975 does count for the mixed award but not for the CW award... you can't just eliminate the QSO from the count... so you have to do it twice, without the filter for Mixed and with the filter for CW. Perhaps this is what you were suggesting Kostas... it's hard to explain in English even for an Englishman ;-) Kostas SV1DPI wrote: > I think a solultion for your problem would be as follows. > Search for cw qsos previous of 1975 (f8). > Make them another group from the default 0, for example group 75 for these > qsos (qso window>multiple qsos>set group). > Make a selection with group filter to choose only 0.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
Make sure that the mode field is enabled. just hit S to select SSB and C once or twice to select CW (Clover also starts with C). You work PSK and RTTY from the mobile? In any case R selects RTTY... P selects lots of stuff... but if the inactive modes were removed from the dropdown the situation would be improved... not many using Clover for example. J.F.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
The way I think D4W is working... that's not going to happen like that. However, it is possible to have a combined award display where the spot priority (which determines the color) is determined to be the higher of the awards you are actively chasing. That way, if you needed Zone 2 on 160M, if you see a brightly colored VE2 you can be pretty sure it's Zone 2. I don't think that would be too much work for Paul... and I suspect, given D4W's "raison d'être" is award chasing, he is going to support the new CQ awards eventually and will need some extra selections. Instead of having a selection DXCC/WAZ/WPX have checkboxes for DXCC/WAZ/WPX/CQ Field at the top of the form. If you check DXCC and WAZ... if its flagged... work it... figure out why later ;-) Terry wrote: > Like many of us I chase DXCC and WAZ.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win - Wish list
It isn't copied Ernie... it is a unique record that maps to the callsign... and is very useful as it stands... it should be left alone. BTW, I have the same issue as my log goes back to 1969. What Paul needs to do is add a new field for name. I'm not sure, with access to QRZ.Com and such, whether there is any need to store the address... maybe a short field for QTH might be useful. These fields perhaps should copy forward by default... but this could be overridden. This would take care of this issue or archival information. And Paul... PLEASE add a field for frequency data. D4W complicates lfe unnecessarily when exchanging data via ADIF by not supporting dedicated fields for Name/QTH/Freq. Paul, if you read this... it would require a data migration utility. The present convention seems to be name on the first line and QTH on the second line of notes.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
1. Very nice though not urgent. Fixing the map would be nice also. 2. Autologin would be nice. 3. Nice but not urgent. Present procedure only has to be done once a month so I don't really mind. Adding support for eQSL is more important. 4. This is important! The current program makes reconciling country file updates difficult. We should be able to verify ANY changes that affect already logged QSOs. In addition, we should be able to control the merge of a country file... for example, not allowing changes before a certain date. It worries me that if we presently update a country file which can affect Qs going back decades we are VERY dependent on Jim doing a good job... and he just might get fed up with the responsibility some day ;-) We also need better tools to identify and reconcile changes in QSL managers. 5. No opinion... I haven't had an issue here... but when flagging QSOs for print... I would like a way of printing a custom comment on a specific QSO. 6. Sure... that could be a good idea.

That's true... but I actually prefer the way it works when sorting by time... except for the alert color being overwritten.

Re: [Dx4win] Bug?
You seem to miss the point completely Guy... perhaps you are confused by the word "bug" in the subject which started the discussion... We are not discussing a bug at this point, but whether it is desirable for a grey spot to overwrite a colored spot. The issue doesn't arise when the grey spots are filtered out.

Re: [Dx4win] Bug?
Hi Paul... I had mentioned this in the discussion we had on spot levels. I realize it is by design... but my reasoning is as follows... At present, if the spot is outside the filter zone it's grey. Correct. If a spot arrives from inside the filter, indicating it is being heard in the area of interest, it is colored. Correct. Now if another spot arrives withing a couple of minutes from outside the geographic area it turns grey again... indicating it isn't being heard in the area of interest? Wrong. It's probably still being heard. I would be inclined, on receipt of a spot outside the area of interest Not to flip the color back to grey. Or maybe, a refinement, a colored spot should be protected for a period of time... 15min, 30min... I'm not sure... a valid spot inside the zone resets the timer... but this requites more work. Of course, all this alert logic is wasted when dopes insist on posting spots informing the world of what they CAN'T hear or begging for contacts. Perhaps a future refinement... a spotter blacklist ;-) (Actually not a bad idea as I think about it.) Speaking of lists... have you considered supporting friend.ini. Its probably a better source of operator's name than the CDs & Servers (Which usually have my formal name of Melvyn from government records instead of my on-the-air name of Mel) and wouldn't require much coding to query.

Grey means either: 1. You have worked them 2. You have the band or mode disabled 3. The spot is from outside the geographic area you are filtering on.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW, DX4WIN and contest logs
Hi Tom. I just can't think of any good reason not to import all your contacts into DX4Win. I would seem to me to be a lot easier to keep track/backup of one large log instead of dozens of small ones. I use Writelog. After the contest I import everything and delete all contest logs after a few months have elapsed. Tom Brown wrote: > Soliciting opinions on this.

You got a message... but are the QSOs actually in the log? Do the modes match? DON'T import them. There is no reason there should be confirmed Qs on LotW that are not in your log.

Re: [Dx4win] Custom DX Callout
I'm not sure you can announce unworked band/mode new ones without announcing the unconfirmed stuff... but DX4Win is full of non-obvious features... maybe someone has an idea. You could "cheat" if your friend doesn't use LotW and set the Upload Confirmed flag for all contacts in the log. That way, if it's in the log, it won't be announced.

[Dx4win] Ver 8 wish list re spotting.
As i mentioned in another e-mail, I really like the way DX4Win handles spots... but I do have a few quibbles. We presently have to choice of flagging a new DXCC either when we have never worked it... pretty rare for me nowadays... or we have never confirmed it... I have lots of those. It would be nice if, at a glance, we could differentiate. New DXCC and unconfirmed new DXCC and do away with the check-box in preferences. Could we use priority 0 for never worked DXCC spots? Grey spots... the trouble is there are different kinds of grey spots that D4W treats the same... and I don't want to. If the spot is for a band or mode I do not or can not operate I never want to see it... Grey minus... lowest possible priority... or hide them completely. If the spot is outside spotter geographic region I am filtering on... I usually don't want to see them especially if the spotting network is busy. However, if the band is quiet, such as early morning, I do like to monitor all spots. These are the real grey spots. Priority 10. (Not 9... I need room for a new level). If you have worked a station before D4W flags them as grey spots. The logic is obvious, you don't work a station twice for an award especially if it's a DXpedition. However I'm not convinced this is correct. Even if you don't need a station, on a particular band for example, it is useful to see a spot for a needed award/band/mode regardless of where they are operating. For example if you need VP8DLM on 40 but have worked him on 20. If you see him on 20, you know he IS active and he IS NOT on 40. This is of interest! This should be one level above black spots.. Priority 8... black spots pri 9. As I do switch grey spots on and off, there should be a quicker way to turn them on and off. Maybe a right mouse click option. Grey spots may update a higher priority spot, but should not change the priority. IE if grey spots are on and a European station sends a spot (assuming we are in NA) for a needed country... it should not assume the "grey spot" priority (unless it's older than 60 min)... because the station is being heard in the filtered region. __ 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

Re: [Dx4win] eQSL
Good... There are a few improvements that could be made that probably don't involve too much effort. I actually moved all my data to a more expensive, much more feature rich logging program. But after a few years, I missed D4W. The last thing I would want to see is a lot of new features... I like the fact it is fast, slick (easy to enter data) and accurate (thanks Jim). Anything Paul does to the program has to reinforce these attributes because it's what distinguishes D4W from the other programs. Areas to be addressed: Data safety. eQsl. user configurable modes. a table containing the mode, type (Phone,CW,Digital,Image) and equivalent ADIF mode if necessary. For example: USB,P,SSB LSB,P,SSB CW,C FM,P FMN,P,FM PSK,D,PSK31 PSK31,D interfacing with subscription XML callbook services. I love the spotting in D4W but I believe there are a few simple improvements to make it even better... I'll save it for a separate email to see what the gang thinks. There are some things that other programs I think he should stay away from because they generate a continuous need for fixes. Scraping data from QRZ.com or Buckmaster. Digital modes. It would be better to interface with MixW, DM780 or Winwarbler. Let someone else keep up with the latest digi modes ;-) BTW I am active on Digital modes but use a dedicated program. And I would like to see it interfaced with D4W for data transfer.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN in DEMO mode
When Paul told you it was "impossible" he was probably referring to the logic of the program with which he is very familiar. However there are "bugs" in code that can make it do something totally unexpected. Examples are buffer overruns, dangling pointers etc. Depending on the development language used some can be ferociously hard to track down. I do agree with you that Paul should do something to mitigate this bug... and I think the best way is to write a transaction journal file... writing the whole log requires too much IO bandwidth... but just writing an ADIF journal file, especially if it could be written to removable media, would mean that any kind of failure, hardware or software, including the occasional and inevitable bug, would not result in the loss of data and would be very easy to recover from as you could just import the missing transactions.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN in DEMO mode
This bug has been around a long time... I'm not sure how far back it goes. It happened to me once... I have no idea why and has never happened since (so I can understand why it's hard to track down). However I ALWAYS hit alt-s immediately after working a new one. It's kinda stupid you have to do this... but another overdue item for Paul is a journal file. That can't be hard to accomplish... just write a record to an ADIF text file after each Add Paul... and make it optional if you are concerned about performance in case someone is still running DX4Win off a floppy drive ;-) Alan Zack wrote: > Yesterday I had a very strange thing occur with DX4WIN.

[Dx4win] Adding Rig Freq to QSO
I'm not surprised you didn't find it... it's anything but obvious. On the log scteen, under QSO --- Contest mode... Add $$ to the note field. This will insert the frequency into the note field whether the program is in Contest Mode or not. This is not a really satisfactory solution, as it is not possible to import/export this info in standard ADIF format... ie and ADIF import will "lose" your frequency data... Why Paul will not change this is beyond me... DX4Win seems to be out of step with every other logging software...

[Dx4win] RTTY
Actually, I've no idea what you are getting at in your first paragraph... so I can't comment on that... but... DX4Win works fine with most TUs in command mode. Does the DXP38 support a command mode as opposed to a host mode? I used DX4Win for years on RTTY, Pactor and Amtor using a PK900. It doesn't work with sound board RTTY... it would be a welcome improvement. The QSL manager has some limitations, but saying "it is far to limiting to be useful" is an exaggeration... but some improvement would be appreciated. Date sensitivity would be very helpful. I haven't had problems with mode specific managers, but that's probably because I'm not doing much digital operating lately.

[Dx4win] The worked and confirmed thread
The other concern I have is whether there is a problem with either the System date or the date as stored in the records. The reason I suggest zero is I believe that this will ignore the dates... and the stations should showed worked or mailed status, even if there is an issue with either of the dates. If this works, then an appropriate cutoff should be entered... 1830 (5 years) is about the max for any hope of getting a card I would think. - Original Message - From: "Bill Clark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "REFLECTOR DX4WIN" Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 09:28 Subject: [Dx4win] The worked and confirmed thread > > If I set the worked and mailed to zero, many of my > contacts go away that are not confirmed.

[Dx4win] Input of logdata from paper log into dx4win
However, it's just as easy to do it with a spread-sheet... and it's easier to "manipulate" the data prior to entry into DX4Win... and they make a pretty good back-up. And in retrospect I regret having loaded all my data into DX4Win and not keeping my older logs... I lost the frequency information that was stored in my logs because DX4Win simply discards it... Which brings up a point, if you are "listening" Steve or Paul... You should at least pop the frequency data into the note field on an ADIF import...

[Dx4win] DX spot colors revisited
Only if "Alert Unconfirmed" is unchecked... If it's checked it's... 1 = new DXCC never confirmed OR NewDXCC never worked 2 = never worked mode 3 = never worked band 4 = unconfirmed mode 5 = unconfirmed band Which doesn't seem entirely logical to me... OTOH, if you don't check "Alert Unconfirmed" you don't draw attention to all-time new unconfirmed, which you may well want to work again, especially if it's a different station. >1 = never worked >2 = never worked mode >3 = never worked band >4 = unconfirmed mode >5 = unconfirmed band - Original Message - From: "Jim Reisert AD1C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 16:23 Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX spot colors revisited > I think I boiled the priorities down to three simple rules: > > 1.

[Dx4win] CW with Windows xP with version 5.03
You can just copy the driver No need to re-install... File attached... Instructions below... The file I attached is the one distributed with 6.02... But I'm pretty sure it works with all versions... No harm in trying... Don't forget to delete or more/rename vich11.vxd, the 95/98 driver... FAQ: I get an error that the port driver cannot be found This error indicates that the port driver, the program that 'talks' to the LPT port, is missing. This typically happens when you copy all the DX4WIN files to a new computer without installing the port driver. You can correct this problem by copying the port driver to the correct directory. There are two port drivers: one for Win/NT, Win/2000 and Win/XP, the second one for Win/95, Win/98, Win/SE etc. When the correct driver is not available, you can still retrieve the driver from the DX4WIN installation program. You can retrieve individual files from the installation program dx4w602.exe. Add the /X parameter on a DOS command prompt, or create a link to the install program and add this parameter. See Appendix Files: portdriver for the name of the driver. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ON4AOI Sent: May 4, 2003 7:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: DX4WIN reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] CW with Windows xP with version 5.03 Hi Roger, You have to reinstal DX4WIN because the CW driver needs to be installed in WINXP/system etc After that you can copy your complete backup back to the same directory 73 Guy ON4AOI BAND DECODER and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm DX4WIN soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm ARSWIN link and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm DXTELNET soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm MY SALESPAGE with radioamateur & computer parts http://www.on4aoi.be/sale.htm - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003 9:57 AM Subject: [Dx4win] CW with Windows xP with version 5.03 > Hi, > > I have just upgraded a computer from Win98SE to xP with the idea of > then going up to version 6.

[Dx4win] Error creating new selection names
I noticed something similar creating a new Radio entry... I created a new entry starting with a character never used... ( i.e. ZIC781) then edited the resulting name later... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: April 18, 2003 11:14 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Error creating new selection names A while back I reported a problem with creating new filter selection names. Here's the scenario: Filter -> Selection. Click on Add, and the top box now says "Replace this Name" -- so you start typing in that box. Here's the problem: If the first letter you type matches an *existing* selection, you are now editing *THAT* selection, and not the new one you created! For example, I have a selection called "2000 IARU". Say I want to add a date selection for calendar year 2000. I start typing "2000" in the top box, and now all of a sudden, the dates and check boxes get filled in as if I'm editing the "2000 IARU" selection, which I am! If you save this selection, you will have over-written the old one. I found a work-around, which I don't recommend (it involves editing your .DXL file). Give the new selection some weird name like XYZZY -- it must be at least one character LONGER than the name you really want. Then save it. Exit DX4WIN and edit your .DXL file using an editor like Emacs. Search for the weird name XYZZY and change it to what you want (in the .DXL file, it said "XYZZYce this name", so I changed this to "2000Yce this name"). In my case, since "2000" was shorter than "XYZZY", I went back into the selection editor and carefully deleted just the last character from "2000Y" to get "2000" clicked Update than OK. Paul, I hope you understand this problem and can come up with a fix in the next revision. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

[Dx4win] IRQ & COM PORTS
Yes... But you just select the Com port in DX4Win... The IRQ assignments are done in Windows...

[Dx4win] PSK31 config change in DX4WIN 6.02? A solution!
Thanks for the "fix"... it may be useful to others...

[Dx4win] PSK change is DX4WIN 6.02
I don't see it's broken now... I've tried it here and it works fine on the COM port... It works fine on the LPT port... The only issue that I've seen raised is if one is using a different radio for digital modes... Otherwise why would you need more than one port to handle PTT. What am I missing? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WC7N Sent: March 16, 2003 4:47 PM To: DX4WIN Group Subject: [Dx4win] PSK change is DX4WIN 6.02 I am sure glad to see this subject being discussed. I felt why if it isn't broke fix it but then was kind of told I was an idiot for thinking this wasn't a better way. I still feel "IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT." and it wasn't broke. But thankfully there are other PSK-31 program. Rod WC7N ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
