Re: [Dx4win] FW: Can we add Q65? Other suggestions...

[Georg (DL5NO)]

The question about the support of Q65 was asked here in the forum a few 
weeks ago. The new mode VARA is also being used by more and more 
stations on the bands, for which corresponding additions to the 
ADIF-spec have meanwhile also been published.


Are there any plans for corresponding updates of DX4WIN?

73 de Georg, DL5NO


  


Paul,

  


Thanks for the help the other day.  I have three suggestions for
enhancements to DX4WIN on a new release:

  


1.  Remove IOTA as a checked default when sending spots (Alt-A)
2.  Implement UDP broadcast for QSOs between WSJT-X and DX4WIN (and
other programs)
3.  Add Q65 as a mode or sub-mode (plus any other new modes)

  


A friend, AB4IQ, and I both happened to work WL7T/P from a rare grid (EL58)
using Q65.  Ed uses Log4OM for 6 meters.  His confirmation via LOTW clearly
shows the mode as Q65 while mine does not.

  


The times, they are a changing.  hi, hi   UDP broadcast between apps is
here to stay!

  


Thank you for your consideration.  73,  Dave, N4QS

[Ricardo Navarrete]

Good suggestions!!!

I add one more, new satellites or read them from a file that could be
updated manually.

Thanks

If it's not broken, don't fix it. 

 

Unless you are the Government, then you fix it until it is broken.

What might work, if it could be implemented, is for the IOTA checkmark in
the Announce DX window to be "sticky".  I.e. if it was off (unchecked) the
last time, then it will be off (unchecked) the next time.  Ideally, this
would work across restarts of DX4WIN.   As they say, it's all just a small
matter of programming.

Yes, you are correct.

But If I am spotting KH6 or England on 6 meters or Australia on 160 meters,
I do not need/want to send the IOTA reference.

Regarding #1, I thought that would only be checked if there was IOTA
information present in the log record? If it's checked but there's no IOTA
information, wouldn't that just be ignored?

Re: [Dx4win] FW: Can we add Q65? Other suggestions...

[WA7AA]

Hi, Dave.

The problem with some of your requests is that, if implemented, they 
would run contrary to what the vast majority of users want or need. Most 
of us leave all updates checked because even if we don't need them all, 
they have no detrimental or noticeable effect on our logger use. 
Needless to say, we don't want to have to manually check nine boxes 
every time for no reason.
Next up, If DX4Win opened in the Add Real Time mode (F9) but the radio 
was off, it would go into a radio time-out routine which is tedious to 
deal with (wait for timeout, click OK, disable the radio, then remember 
to enable the radio when it's on, etc.). No one wants this.
As for the log entry window size (F5), it should come up with the same 
size every time you open the program. If it doesn't, something's wrong.


73,

Zoran WA7AA

Re: [Dx4win] FW: Can we add Q65? Other suggestions...

[Courtney Judd]

I also have a few requests for any new update:

a: on the check for updates drop down menu I would much prefer for the 
updates ALL be unchecked... That way rather than having to uncheck 9 
items, only have to check one... only one that interests me is the 
COUNTRY update.


b: Rather than having to remember to hit F9 when opening the 
program/log, I would much prefer tor the default to just go to the log.


c:The default for the log entry window should be the smallest have 
to do the F5 thing every time to get it to fit my desired size


d: An easier method to upload to LOTW. I usually upload at the end of 
every month and it's a struggle to remember all the key strokes it takes 
to do this. At 78 hard to remember anything anymore!


e: How about some sort of interface with WSJT-X MMTTY and Gritty all 
run great in the back ground


Just my 2 cents on what I would like to see. I have been with DX4WIN 
since the beginning and currently show 150K+ qso's in my log. Thanks 
Paul for such a great program! 73's Cort K4WI
