[Dx4win] IC 756 PRO II
first choose the setup for Icom 756 Pro. The only thing you have to change is the Adress to 64 (and of course the COM-port if you´re not using serialport 1 on your computer). Interesting - My address says 00, and it works. I guess that assumes some default.
[Dx4win] ADIF import: header
Just export an ADIF log using DX4WIN and look at it. - Original Message - From: Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 10:41 AM Subject: [Dx4win] ADIF import: header Hello. I created an ADIF version of my own log [log.adi] and I used this ADIF file successfully to upload my log to the LoTW project. However, when I try to import log.adi file into DX4Win 6.02 I got the error: No header found; and no QSO is read into DX4Win. It's true that I have no header ... however I don't know exactly how to generate this header; I'm using an home made logging software so I need to develop it for ADIF support. May someone send me an example of header for an ADIF file suitable to import in DX4Win, please? I think you can generate this header if you own a registered copy of DX4Win [my copy is a demo].

[Dx4win] CW Keyer
Does anyone know for sure that its safe to simply use the key the IC-706 directly from pin 17 without going through the transistor switch? 1. You can invert the logic by swapping the transistor's base and emitter leads. 2. Anecdotes that don't necessarily apply to CW keying: I've inadvertently sent the PTT and FSK signals to the 706 without a transistor switch, and it worked, except the PTT was inverted. I also routinely send the fsk signal to a 706, 1000mp, and PROII with only a 1K resistor in the line. I originally saw this suggestion in the documentation for the RITTY program by K6STI. I wouldn't say this was safe unless you really understand the schematic of your rig's various inputs. I don't know anything about the CW input - FOr CW, I use a 2n switch with emitter to ground, collector to key, and base to serial port DTR thru 1K resistor. The switch is the way to go - just invert your logic if backwards.
[Dx4win] Soundcard questions
You need to tell us more. Do you receive anything?? Can you transmit? How are you doing PTT? You obviously need audio going from the rig to the soundcard, and from the soundcard to the rig, and you also need to key the radio. How are you accomplishing each of these tasks? AFSK or FSK?? - Original Message - From: Rick Stoneking [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 12:32 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Soundcard questions Sorry if this is a bit off topic. I have been trying to get my radio (TS-950SD) setup to use RTTY/PSK31 and I have made the cable to go from the connector on the back of the radio to the soundcard. I plugged the cable into the line in jack on the sound card and could not get anything to work. I found that if I plugged the cable into the mic input everything is fine - with the exception of the fact that I now no longer have a microphone plugged into the computer - which I do use for other things. The computer is a several year old Micron 230MHz Pentium machine with the soundcard integrated on the motherboard.

[Dx4win] CW Keying
Is there any reason that one cannot use a wye connector out of the back of the rig's key jack (in this case a 1000MP) and hook both a set of paddles and the LPT1 connection to the station PC? The LPT1 circuit is the one shown in the Help file of DX4WIN, using a 2N. Larry, that is OK if your paddles are connected to an external keyer. The LPT output should go to a manual key input, i.e. you can't attach that to a paddle input to an internal keyer. I've seen a lot of people use a Y connector from their rig's mono key input, one side to their computer and the other side to the output of an external keyer. GL - 73 John, WA9ALS

[Dx4win] Re UTC time offset!
Thank you to all that replied!!! I originally didn't bother to check my internal pc clock as I always boot up and use Dimension 4 to get the proper time. Now that I am using Win2000-Pro with a small home network I almost NEVER need to reboot as my PC runs stable as can be for 24/7 for days at a time, and Dimension 4 is set up to check only on start-up and had not alerted me to the problem! Seems my clock time was correct but my calendar was somehow set to June 29, 2002, which threw off the UTC offset! Some of you were very astute to notice this! Again thanks to all. Just wanted to echo Phil's comments - I also use WIN2000PRO and rarely have to reboot. I also use Dimension 4 on 4 PCs - Mine is set to check time every 6 hrs. It is one of those things that simply always works in the background without problems so you can forget about it.
[Dx4win] CW Using DX4WIN
Does anyone have a recommendation on an LPT/com port adapter to use for true CW keying with DX4WIN?

I'd sure vote for a change back to like it was, if we have a vote. Wait til you hit the REPLY button and say something like Hi Bob, just thought I'd let you know my hemorrhoids are improving...

Of course, if you're awake/alert/paying attention and can remember it's different than most other reflectors, you can still cut and paste the individual's address from the reply and get around the problem.
