[Dx4win] FM Martinique, or FM, the Mode
Noticed an amusing problem last evening; when I highlighted FM5CW, spotted on 7005, right clicked, then selected listen, my IC-765 on Com 2 went to the frequency, but in FM mode! I've noticed this a few times before with spots for Martinique, but corrected the problem at the front panel and forgot about it. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a known fix or workaround? 73, Frank [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Frank, it's because the country prefix (FM) was in the spot comment field, and DX4WIN interpreted this as the mode. There is no work-around except to to shut off this particular feature of your spotting node. 73 - Jim AD1C At 02:16 AM 1/26/2003 -0500, Frank Grossman (WB2BXO) wrote: Noticed an amusing problem last evening; when I highlighted FM5CW, spotted on 7005, right clicked, then selected listen, my IC-765 on Com 2 went to the frequency, but in FM mode!

Probably couldn't make up it's mind if it was FM or CW ;-) DXCluster spot formats don't standardize the mode... Was meant for human eyes. Paul scans the spot's comments to determine if anything in it states the mode... You can guess what happened... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Grossman (WB2BXO) Sent: January 26, 2003 2:16 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] FM Martinique, or FM, the Mode Noticed an amusing problem last evening; when I highlighted FM5CW, spotted on 7005, right clicked, then selected listen, my IC-765 on Com 2 went to the frequency, but in FM mode!

It's possible Paul may have fixed this in Version 6. I just saw FM5CW spotted on 10 meters (FM in comment field), and the spot was grayed-out (I had already worked this station). If DX4WIN had tried to parse the mode, the spot would have been in a different color. 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

Jim, Goof observation; I removed FM and AM from the scan for the mode. Paul At 08:56 AM 1/26/03 -0500, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: It's possible Paul may have fixed this in Version 6.

This happens to me for every FM-Martinique spot entered from packet using DX4WIN. I believe this problem occurs with people using AR-Cluster to get their spots. The AR-Cluster has a country column at the end of the comments field and I think DX4WIN reads this as though it was a comment about the mode and switches you to FM. Maybe Paul can limit the number of columns he looks at in the comments field to stop this from happening. 73, Richard At 02:16 1/26/03 -0500, Frank Grossman (WB2BXO) wrote: Noticed an amusing problem last evening; when I highlighted FM5CW, spotted on 7005, right clicked, then selected listen, my IC-765 on Com 2 went to the frequency, but in FM mode!
