[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03
How come after every program update, there are days upon days of questions, problems, etc? Shouldn't an update be relatively seamless? It should archive what is necessary and then replace what needs to be replaced, with options along the way, if necessary. It shouldn't create new program folders every time (does it still do that?) Though a great program, DX4WIN is probably the most difficult one to upgrade, requiring prayer to assure one's country totals and preferences don't change from version to version. Guess that's why I'm still using 4.07. Barry W2UP On 11 May 2004 Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > > Upgrading from 6.02 to 6.03 dropped me from 167 to 157 > > countries. Something's wrong.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03
DX4WIM Users... OK...I give up and need your help! The help menu is useless for LOTW questions. There has been so much discussion, though fragmented, on the reflector on how to do LOTW upload and downloads that I am snowed! 1. I have uploaded all my QSO's to LOTW, pre 6.03so there is no need to upload them again...right? But don't I need to dummy up DX4WIN 6.03 to show this has been accomplished. 2. Then when I download LOTW into DX4WIN, does it only overwite confirmed status on the LOTW entries? In other words, I'm confused. As Barry W2UP mentioned, DX4WIN is a class act...it is just the operating procedures which are not very well supported. If it wasn't for this reflector, I would be further lost than I am now! Can someone who had successfully Uploaded and downloaded LOTW into an existing DX4WIN file write a concise method of procedure?...I would be greatly appreciated. Lou N2TU

But don't I need to dummy up DX4WIN 6.03 to > show this has been accomplished. My understanding during beta testing was that if you didn't export your QSOs out of DX4WIN through the Labels menu, then the Upload Conf flags could never be set. That may no longer be the case. In my situation, I would like to set the upload date (accurately) on my QSOs that have already been exported to LoTW, but there is currently no way to do that - you can only get today's date. What's missing is some sort of "Multiple QSO Operations -> Set Upload Date" function. > 2. Then when I download LOTW into DX4WIN, does it only overwite confirmed > status on the LOTW entries? Yes, when you import an ADIF log, the pull-down menu has an option to only update the "Upload Conf" flags in the log for those imported QSOs, it wil not change the log data itself. The other wrinkle is once you have exported QSOs, how do you export the next batch? In my log, when I did another "set upload flags" then "export" operation, it exported the entire log all over again! Paul explained that you must use an F8 filter to search for "Upload Date = 01/01/1901" which will select only those entries where the upload date is empty. Then using the filter, you can set the Upload flags and export to LoTW, and you'll only get the new entries. Hope this helps. I really wish this was more straightforward. 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 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 17 10:29:50 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Milan_G=FCtter?=) Date: Mon May 17 10:32:18 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Countries listing problem In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all, I have imported my Lotw log into 6.03. The number of DXCC increase - thats good for me! The one of my new DXCC is the TO4WW (FR/J), which I have confirmed by Lotw, not by QSL. But now the "Countries listing (Reports / DXCC / Listing / Select ALL / ALL modes, ALL bands)" choice of QSO works wrong. Click to C in the FR/J line works not, no QSO is found, because C is given by Lotw confirmation, not by QSL confirmation. Works Your 6.03 right? 73 Milan, OK1FM [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jim, Thanks..then I am not alone...and thanks for the info. Without any concise information as to what/ what not to do...I'll do nothing! Quite honestly, I'm a bit concerned about having to dummy up my files (by setting Upload dates to phoney numbers) to offset a DX4WIN problem There should be an easy way to mark QSOs already uploaded...either pre 6.03 or after.and an easy way to merge LOTW confirms with your current log. For future uploads, again there should be an easy way to upload those QSO's not already uploaded. Sounds easybut as of right now, I don't have any solutions...other than "work arounds"...rather than screwing up my logs with lousy informaton, I'll wait until I get something firm. Paul...anything?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 DXCC Submission
Has anyone found issues with the DXCC award submission? I'm confused that it generates a listing of 1,207 QSOs, but the summary will say it has 1,175 submitted afterwards. Any thoughts on the "missing 32"? It "looks" like DX4WIN is simply taking the Confirmed Total and subtracting the Checked total to get the Submitted number, but the QSL listing has more. Any ideas why? I'm sure I'm being dumb or tired, but I don't get it. 73, Byron PS. And if anyone knows an easy way to get the details of your LOTW QSLs printed for cross-checking, I'd love to hear about that.
[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 DXCC Submission
Brian, Looking at your log for prefix=V6 You have one QSO V63EC/P 17M CW This QSO was checked for mix, band and mode You have one entry in the submission for V6: V63CQ 10M SSB This single QSO is used for 10M AND for SSB There should be additional entries in your submission that are used twice or three times like the one above.

Paul: I don't understand, and I apologize. If I have one QSO that qualifies me for a new DXCC SSB and a new DXCC for 17m, I think it will only output one QSO for submission.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Packet Spotting
I don't remember if anyone answered your query. Ideally, the user could assign the priority so that if they were more interested in band/mode combinations, that could be a lower number than, say, a mode unconfirmed. But, since it isn't that way, I have chosen to pay attention to the colors, over which I have control. Yellow reverse is highest priority followed by red and it's combinations for mode, blue and its combinations for band, and green for the band/mode combinations. Black and gray I ignore. So I never pay attention to the numbers, just the colors and it works OK for me.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Filter - Date+Time
I was trying to EXPORT for LOTW last evening. My previous upload included half the QSOs on a given date, so I attempted to filter on date and time. When I used time (03:00Z) with the date, I filtered all but 12 QSOs. When I used date (the exact same one) I got 669 QSOs. And I hadn't worked 657 QSOs in the first three hours that day. Thoughts? 73, Byron

Milan, it sounds like you found a bug in DX4WIN 6.03. 73 - Jim AD1C --- Milan_Gütter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have imported my Lotw log into 6.03. > The number of DXCC increase - thats good for me! > The one of my new DXCC is the TO4WW (FR/J), which I have confirmed by Lotw, > not by QSL. > > But now the > "Countries listing (Reports / DXCC / Listing / Select ALL / ALL modes, ALL > bands)" > choice of QSO works wrong. > > Click to C in the FR/J line works not, no QSO is found, > because C is given by Lotw confirmation, not by QSL confirmation. > > Works Your 6.03 right? > > 73 Milan, OK1FM > [EMAIL PROTECTED] = 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 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 17 10:38:20 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Paul Franson) Date: Mon May 17 10:40:32 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 LOTW Upload Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tried the 01/01/1901 - the filter selects all 58,000+ QSOs.

My understanding during beta testing was that if you didn't export your QSOs out of DX4WIN through the Labels menu, then the Upload Conf flags could never be set. That may no longer be the case. In my situation, I would like to set the upload date (accurately) on my QSOs that have already been exported to LoTW, but there is currently no way to do that - you can only get today's date. What's missing is some sort of "Multiple QSO Operations -> Set Upload Date" function. > 2. Then when I download LOTW into DX4WIN, does it only overwite confirmed > status on the LOTW entries? Yes, when you import an ADIF log, the pull-down menu has an option to only update the "Upload Conf" flags in the log for those imported QSOs, it wil not change the log data itself. The other wrinkle is once you have exported QSOs, how do you export the next batch? In my log, when I did another "set upload flags" then "export" operation, it exported the entire log all over again! Paul explained that you must use an F8 filter to search for "Upload Date = 01/01/1901" which will select only those entries where the upload date is empty. Then using the filter, you can set the Upload flags and export to LoTW, and you'll only get the new entries. Hope this helps. I really wish this was more straightforward. 73 - Jim AD1C
[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Countries listing problem
Milan, I've got the same problem here. LoTW gave me two new band/countries for the DXCC Challenge not confirmed by paper cards. The "Reports / DXCC / Listing / Select ALL / ALL modes, ALL" doesn't show a "C" for them, although the "Upl Cnf" flag in the QSO window is "Y". It would be nice to have the LoTW confirmations show up in the Listings as well. Hopefully Paul can add this to the next release. Cliff K0CA
[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Countries listing problem
Yes, my preference under QSO tab, confirmed QSO's is set to "card or upload", and I'm still not seeing any "C" in the DXCC Listing for cards confirmed only by LoTW. The good news is that when I run a DXCC submission, those cards confirmed only by LoTW do show up. So for me it's not a major issue, but worthy of Paul taking a look the next time he works on a revision. In addition to Jim's kind comments about Paul, the other thing worthy of note is that there was no charge for this revision, even though it included some needed LoTW programming. That's refreshing, and typical of the way Paul has treated us customers over the years! Thanks Paul. Cliff K0CA
[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Remote telnet Permission
Not surprising if you provide remote access permission by individual software package. DX4WIN 6.03 isn't the same executable that 6.02 was, so you need to give permission again. 73, Byron At 01:21 PM 5/31/2004, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >The problem with the packet cluster I was having was attributed to firewall >software.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Remote telnet Permission

[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 + Packet / Assigning Multiple Groups
Band stored when logging a QSO: I recently upgraded to version 6.03 and when logging a QSO without having a CAT system connected but only a telnet cluster it stores the band info of the last DX cluster spot instead of the band I selected. Previous version is worked fine. If I connect the CAT system it works fine but that should not be necessary I guess. Assigning Groups: In the past I never used groups for the different call signs I have used. When I go to the Multiple QSO Operations I select a date range, double click on one of the callsigns, it get a cross in front of it, when I click Update I expect that all QSO records within that range will be updated, nothing happen. The only global option which works if I change it for all QSO records. Any idea? Or is it a bug? Any help is appreciated, 73 Rob PA2R
