[Dx4win] GREAT CIRCLE BEARINGS
Is there a way to verify the great circle bearings (azimuths) reported by DX4WIN. Over the past month, the reported bearings I get when entering a QSO have started appearing very erratic. Sometimes they are "on the mark", and other times they seem to be 180 degrees in error. Anything in particular that may have gone wrong? I verified the station parameters I entered in the Preferences, and they are correct. I am running V8.05 73 de NN3V Charlie __ 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] QSO Window Data
I am beginning to use the DX4WIN QSO window for more than just entering QSO info as I have done for many years. Am trying to make better use of the info available in the bottom row of QSO window. Specifically, the fields indicating awards (DXCC, WAZ, etc). Mine are all blank. How do those get populated, and caused to appear with info in the QSO window? I presume info that is compiled in the DX4WIN data base should automatically appear (such as identifying that a particular entity has been worked, and has been recorded as worked on LOTW). Also, what is the meaning of the fields "worked cutoff" and "mailed cutoff" in the preferences window? I am using Version 8.05 I am sure these questions have been asked before, but I can not find any tutorial info anywhere. My apology to those who find this a dumb question. 73 de NN3V Charlie Don't Always Believe What You Think __ 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] BUG or My Error?
I'm running DX4WIN V8.05 with Yaesu FT-5000. Works as expected, except for an anomaly I just noticed. DX4WIN tracks all the radio's modes (CW, SSB, etc) correctly EXCEPT when operating PKT mode. If the radio is placed in PKT LSB, DX4WIN enters PSK-31 as the mode. I can accept that, as there is no difference in awards or tracking since PSK and PKT are "digital modes". But if the radio is shifted to PKTUSB, DX4WIN changes the mode to SSB. That does not compute. What am I missing? 73 de NN3V Charlie Don't Always Believe What You Think __ 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

Unless someone can give/loan Paul an FT-5000 to develop with, or debug interactively with him in front of your own radio, what he implements in DX4WIN will just be a best guess (i.e. untested).

[Dx4win] ADIF Import Oddity?
I've been using DX4WIN for many years. Currently using Version 8.05 under Windows 7 Home Premium. No operational problems. But an oddity. I recently decided to fool around with JT-65. Just to say I had yet another digital mode to play with. I successfully installed and am using the plain vanilla JT-65HF Version 1.0.7 software. Works great. The software includes a simple logging program that stores all the pertinent JT-65 QSO info, and also allows exporting the log data as an ADIF file. When I try to import the JT-65HF software generated ADIF data into DX4WIN, DX4WIN delivers an error message indicating the file can not be imported. However, I also use Ham Radio Deluxe for some digital modes. I am successful in using the HRD software to import the same JT-65HF software generated ADIF data into HRD. Then, I am successful in exporting the JT-65HF QSO log data from HRD, in ADIF format, into DX4WIN. Anyone have an idea why that process is not successful when transferring ADIF log data from JT-65HF directly into DX4WIN? 73 de NN3V Charlie 2012 IS IMPORTANT. THE WORLD IS NOT A COMMUNITY!

[Dx4win] QSO Look Up anomaly
I am running DX4WIN V8.05 on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Recently, an anomaly has shown up. When I search for past QSOs using F8, inconsistent look-up results show up. I normally have the desktop simultaneously showing the logbook window, and the "Same Callsign" window. When I press F8 to enter a call sign for look up, the "logbook sorted by date" window will show one result, and the "Same Callsign" window will show a different result, simultaneously. For example, I was looking for past QSOs with KD3WK who sent me a paper QSL card. The "Same Call Sign" window incorrectly returned a QSO I had with KD3DK. The window showed only this particular QSO. But in the "Logbook sorted by Date" I found the QSO I had with KD3WK (correct), and the report of the QSO I had with KD3DK that was showing in the "Same Call Sign" window. Note the slight difference in the call sign letters. This is happening with many station call signs. Any ideas? 73 de NN3V Charlie Never Believe What You Think!! __ 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

There are four different kinds of callsign matches. It sounds like you have "Fuzzy" selected in your preferences. Having said that, if your QSO window is showing a particular call as the result of a search, that same call/QSO should be highlighted in both the Same Call and the Logbook windows. If it is not, then something is wrong. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ 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] DX4WIN Digest, Vol 104, Issue 23
I have the same issue, and find the recommendation helpful, as it confirms what I do. However, I caution that at least in my experience, the QUOTE Radio | Ignore Mode in real-time UNQUOTE has to be manually set for each QSO. After logging a QSO, at least my set-up reverts to the current mode (USB). That is a pain if you are running a series of QSOs. 73 de NN3V Charlie Never Believe What You Think!! -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of dx4win-requ...@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 17:00 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: DX4WIN Digest, Vol 104, Issue 23 Send DX4WIN mailing list submissions to dx4win@mailman.qth.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to dx4win-requ...@mailman.qth.net You can reach the person managing the list at dx4win-ow...@mailman.qth.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of DX4WIN digest..."
