[Dx4win] USB Radio control?

Do not try and disguise this software problem with a cheap hardware fix' - that is just asking for trouble. You're swimming upstream against the strategic product directions of Intel, Microsoft, and the BIOS vendors. The correct solution to the parallel port problem is that software developers (we're talking about DX4WIN, ARSWin, TopTen Devices, WaveNode technologies here...) must revamp their programs to become compliant with the new hardware and operating system architectures. This means that they must use new compilers, new I/O utilities, and deliver new releases of their programs. Unless/until that happens, the customers of these vendors are the ones who will suffer, because they are purchasing products that cannot possibly work on the latest hardware and software platforms. Unless, of course, you intend to make the ridiculous suggestion that hams should purchase the latest and greatest ham radio technology with the understanding that it will only work properly on 10-year-old hardware and 5-year-old operating systems. ;-) ... I didn't think so! [DISCLAIMER - keep in mind that I am talking specifically about those characteristics of DX4WIN, and other programs, that would require multiple parallel ports to control things like CW keying, antenna rotors, band decoders, remote antenna switches, remote sensors and wattmeters, etc. If you don't have those requirements, these issues do not apply] -larry K8UT - Original Message - From: ON4AOI [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 2:11 PM Subject: [Dx4win] The solution for several working LPT ports Hi All, for those who are still looking for several working LPT's the solution is here Probably there are lot of people complaining about the missing ISA slots on the latest motherboards.

[Dx4win] Printing on the back of cards
Good Morning Everyone, I have gotten a few emails on how I get my QSLs to print on the back of my QSL cards and what kind of printer do I use, and a host of other questions. Hopefully I will answer all of you questions. Just as an update, there is a few of us in the area that are doing the same thing. To keep it simple, I hopehere we go: First I went to the printing properties of my printer. I created a paper size of 3.25x5.29 and call it QSL Cards. This will define my QSL Card Stock. Our local club gets cards printed up (Basically a standard QSL Card). The last time, I had 10,000 cards printed up. Hopefully we do not move too soon :-) I then select this paper type in the printer as my current default. The main reason I do this is to make sure that it is what I want for printing. For FYI... I prefer a inexpensive laser printer for my printing. I use a Okidata Okipage 8w. I just can not see paying the $$ for ink cartridges. I think my last two laser cartridges were about $18 ea (not too bad). Then select the custom card setting in DX4WIN. I modify the Custom 1 for my QSL Card. I set it the same 3.25x5.29 and then I set the pitch to be 3x5 (this is just to keep a border on it). Then I select print cards. There is a lot of guys who have Epson and HP printers and love this method. I believe some of them use the tray to feed them. I use the manual feed. Once I start, all I do is feed it the next card and keep on trucking. I can print a lot of QSO at once. Typically what I do is wait till after a contest season and print all of the QSOs for the season on one card. If I work a station on 5 bands for two contests and say 3 bands on two other contests, ALL of the QSOs will fit one card. This took a bit of setting up, but this should make it real easy for most everyone to get it up and rolling. Please let me know if this helps. I will try to answer any questions I can. it may be tough to answer specific questions, but I what the heck..

Is there a way that I can have DX4WIN ping the site every x number of minutes and if it is not connected to run a new connect script automatically? IF that is not in there, any chances/plans to put it in the next release?? 73 Gary W5FI --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html text/x-vcard The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.

[Dx4win] Frequency entry in DX4WIN
OK maybe I am missing something still (more than likely) I have a Yaesu FT-1000D configured to work with DX4WIN. That works fine. I have tried $$ and $$ in the Note for this QSO window with out any success. Is there something else that I need to do? I do not see any settings in the preferences... Is there any other place to do it? I work a few people this morning to try it...

Sorry folks.. I thought it was sent to all...here were the two better responses Add the $$ to the pulldown box that opens when you click on QSO and then Contest Mode where it says Text to add to QSO note Click on QSO and click on Contest Mode and then enter $$ in the window that pops up. That will take care of the problem.

[Dx4win] CW keyboard question
I have seen a lot of messages, but yes DX4WIN does support serial keying File | Preferences Radio Tab, CW Keyer and chose either DTR or RTS on radio port. This depends on the radio interface that you use and what pins are being used on the interface (look at the schematics) GL Will - Original Message - From: Barry [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 4:41 PM Subject: [Dx4win] CW keyboard question After using DX4WIN for almost 10 years, I just got the urge to try the CW keyboard for the first time. To my chagrin, I find there is no choice of serial ports - it only uses the same COM port as the radio. This is the case in my version 4.07. Do the newer versions of DX4WIN support COM port selection for CW keying?

There are many different node softwares and each node is slightly different. I have had no complaints from users at my node getting dropped. I run a DXSpider Node.

I have a high speed cable connection that works great for the Internet. No problems! When connecting to a DX cluster via TELNET (with DX4WIN) and the activity is somewhat slow, I seem to get disconnected. During peak times such as contests I stay connected just fine. I understand there is a so called keep alive option either in DX4WIN or some other outside source. The idea is to keep the traffic moving. If windows isn't seeing any traffic from you, (some ISP's as well.) disconnect you so others can use the IP you were on. Is there a setting in DX4WIN using the TCP/IP setting with this so called keep alive feature? Please advise.

[Dx4win] Staying Connected to TELNET
I have to agree with Jim, before I created my node, I was rarely ever booted off (dial up days). Of course now, I am never booted off. Of course today there has been two new users who I believe have been connected all day. They other is on almost always connected anyways Anyone is welcome to na2na.homedns.org node Will NA2NA - Original Message - From: Jim Reisert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 2:24 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Staying Connected to TELNET Are you guys on nodes with very little traffic? I can connect to W1GQ, KE9KD and K8SMC (also N2TX before it moved) for days at a time, and I'm not actively pinging the connection. In fact, I have two computers connected to two different nodes while I'm at work all day (one wired, one wireless).
