Re: [Dx4win] Group question
My error. I wanted to post it to reflector so others could try it.. Will try the date range filter to and try to set groups. I saw somewhere that you had to set a group prior to import. I just set the FILE|PREFERENCE QSO group to 0. Saved change on EXIT. Then clicked on QSO Real time in QSO window and group changed from 2 (what I had set as my default) to 0 (the changed I just made). Changed group to 5 and clicked real time QSO and 5 displayed in QSO WINDOW group. I do not have a group 5 established in the QSO|FILTER|EDIT GROUPS window. manual it will accept any number in the range 0-255. This is very easy to do. Save the charge made on FILE|PREFERENCES|QSO click on QSO|Real Time in QSO WINDOW and you are good to go. Sending this to reflector also this time.

Re: [Dx4win] Group question
Using version 8.04. When I set the group to 0 in the preferences and then go to real time entry the group is 0 so I cant reproduce your result for that one. If I set the group in preferences to a group not previously set up and go to real time entry it does come up as the group set and will log it as such. As a consequence after that if I go to Filter|Edit Group Names the new group generated this way does not show up in the list and am not being able to use Filter|Select to find that QSO, it can be searched for by using F8. Since F8 search can be used it can be set to another group using QSO|Multiple QSO Operations. So other than being able to do something in an illogical fashion it would seem to be function ok. If I want to have a new group of QSO's I have always generated the new group by using the Filter|Edit Group Names function before logging or importing a QSO to that group in my log. As a aside note I don't log any QSO's to group 0, start from group 1 then you will be able to do a group filter search for any and or all QSO's in the log. 0 is a group of everything, including itself, a group of all groups if you like. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of n...@comcast.net Sent: Thursday, 24 June 2010 06:08 To: Jim Reisert AD1C; DX4WIN Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Group question My error.

Re: [Dx4win] Group question
John I have GROUPS 0, 1, 2, and 3defined. If I search for any of the 4 groups by group number I get only those QSOs for that group. When I total the number of QSOs I selected in FILTER (group) of the 4 groups I get the total number of QSOs in my log. That tells me the filter function by groups is working properly. Not sure what you mean by illogical fashion. I defined my needs for groups and the log does sort (filter) by those needs, in otherwords, my groups. I have my entire log for N7KA going back to June 1978 is entered into DX4WIN. Group 0 identiined as all QSOs prior to 01 JAN1983 (the date that VUCC started). I lived in Tucson, AZ in 01 JAN 1983 so have defined Group 1 by the 6 digit grid square I was living and operating from. Group 2 is defined by my current 6 digit grid square beginning 24 FEB, 1985. Group 3 is defined as the grid square I operated portable on 6M Sunday 20 June 2010. They all sort properly when I select FILTER and enter the group number. At start-up my correct group 2 is displayed in the QSO WINDOW GROUP box. (that is what I have set as default) If I change and SAVE the group number in the FILE|PREFERENCES|QSO group box, this becomes the group number displayed in the QSO WINDOW upon starting the program. You MUST do QSO|Real-time after the program is booted to set the program to begin logging for the day, otherwise you get data from the last QSO entered in your log. BTW all 4 of my groups do come up at start if I have defined a group as the default. l also keep my group number and description written on paper and stored in my manual as backup; group number description, date range, and any other info I determine is relevant. 73 de Arne N7KA - John Shaw jns...@internet.co.nz wrote: Using version 8.04.

Re: [Dx4win] Group question
John, If you want the group you added (by changing the group number in Preferences) to show up in Edit Group Names, you must add it, by doing Filter, Group Names, Add. You can change the name at this point also, but note that after you change the name, you must click on Change. Once you have done that, you can add that group to a Selection by going to the selection you want to add it to, finding the new group number, double-clicking on the new group number (this will add an x to the left of the group number) and then clicking Update. In my opinion, the use of Selections, in addition to the group numbering, is an extremely powerful tool within DX4Win, allowing you to separate QSOs from various locations easily. Personally, I think Arne's log groupings would be accomplished much better by using Selections - this would allow further separation (e.g. for contests) within each Selection. But it is all personal preference... 73, Bud N7CW -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of n...@comcast.net Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 3:17 PM To: John Shaw Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Group question John I have GROUPS 0, 1, 2, and 3defined.

[Dx4win] Group question
Is there a way for my default group to be automatically opened when I open the log? I would like group 000 to be the default group. Right now, I open the log and the selection is automatically set for all QSOs. I have to go into the Filter tab and select group 000 every time. I am using version 8.02.

Re: [Dx4win] Group question
Group 0 *is* the selection for all QSOs. DX4WIN always clears group selections when it starts, so it always starts with Group 0. You should use group numbers starting with 1 for custom groups. 73 - Jim AD1C On 6/22/2010 5:23 PM, Dave Perry N4QS wrote: Is there a way for my default group to be automatically opened when I open the log?
