To second what Bud suggests, there is a time window during which repeated spots are NOT re-announced. I don't remember what that window is, maybe 20 or 30 minutes? Once there is NOT a spot for a call for that number of minutes, then the call is announced, you should get the voice announcement. This also applies to the "beep" or "bell" that you can get when a needed one is spotted. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Voice Announcements
Are voice announcements only made if DX4WIN has focus?

Re: [Dx4win] Voice Announcements
Hi Dave, I believe D4W only announces a new band/mode/country the first time it is spotted. So you can get many, many additional spots for new whatevers and the program doesn't announce them.

[Dx4win] Voice Announcements
I have been and continue to be perplexed by the fact that voice announcements of packet spots are intermittent. I have Preferences | Packet 1 set as follows: Warning messagesIgnore Audio/Voice Band/Call DX Alerts New Award Band Callsign Alert This should give me a voice announcement for any Priority 1/2/3 spot. I get very few Priority 1/2 spots, but lots of Priority 3 (New Band) spots, and they do show up as red background/white letters. However, not in all cases do I get a voice announcement. The audio part is intermittent. Is there some other setting I can look into, or perhaps there are some "rules in the code" running that block certain voice announcements. I'd like to get this working 100%. 73 - Dave N3RD __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
