Re: [Dx4win] wish list!

[Courtney Judd]

thanks Mike and Tim, did the write config file, saved and exited, now 
the number 3 issue is sorta right but it still comes out a tad bit large 
showing part of the IOTA window section I still have to hit F5 to 
get it to fit, but you are correct in that it tries to show the last 
window selected. Perhaps this is a Win 10 issue. wish #1 and #2 
still behave the same! Anyway small issues and I have a whole lot more 
to worry about!  like where did I leave the box with all the masks in? 
lol, 73's Cort K4WI

Hello Courtney,

Set all the windows the way you want them. Then do:
File > Preferences > File > Write configuration file.
Save Changes and Exit.
The windows, including the QSO entry window, will come up that same 
way now.

Subject: [Dx4win] wish list!

Afternoon All! here is a wish list for DX4WIN that I would like to see
implemented in a new version if possible! I am using version 9.0.9.1259
and have close to 150K contacts stored in it. I absolutely love this
program and support it and Paul for sure. Here are 3 improvements that
would be easy and simply changes that could be made user selectable.

1: I would like the program Log Entry window to open with a new entry
instead of last entry. I have to remember to hit F9 to clear this last
entry every time I start the program (every morning) and me getting old
and forget it and causes problems. This could be a user selectable in
Preferences.

2: I would prefer that under Help Menu that the Update window open with
everything UN-selected instead of ALL selected. I normally only update
the Country Files so have to manually un-check everything. This could be
user selectable too.

3: I would like for the Log Entry window to open in the smallest window
possible. F5 selects between multiple sizes and it opens in the mid-size
and I have to re-size it every day. I would like it to stay in the size
I select as it covers up my CW window.

These are not big issues for sure and are just flea bites in my side and
I am sure that others have bigger or more important changes they would
like to see, but these three are the ones that bug me the most! I hope
everyone staying safe and healthy... me very bored with stay at home but
getting some serious radio time in. Thanks for listening and 73's Cort

Re: [Dx4win] wish list!

[Tim moore]

On number 3, you must have an issue with something in your
setup/implementation. It already does what you describe you WANT it to do.
IE, whatever size I have it set to, that's the size it opens in every time.
I just went and resized it, closed it, opened it.over and over
againtrying every possible different size. It always opens in whatever
the size was the last time you were in the program. Once you select a size
of the Log Entry window, it opens up in that size (you selected) every
timeunless you change it to open in another size. And then, of course,
it would open in that size from that point on. So number 3 is already just
as you say you want it.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win wish list (In addition to xmmt.ocx)

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

My suggestion of how I like to log receive, transceive and transmit
frequencies has evolved over time, primarily in the age before
computer logging, when I wrote QSL cards out by hand and used
frequency rather than band.


Again, you are logging improperly.  It may not matter to you as an
Amateur Extra class operator but to an Advanced/General it does.

The log, to the extent to which one chooses to maintain one today, is
the *legal record* of the station's transmissions.  If a DX Station
transmitting at 14.024 and listening up works a General transmitting
at 14.026 and the General logs the frequency (which is defined in
the ADIF standard as "my transmitting frequency") he is logging an
*illegal transmission*.

Now, you may wish that DX4Win would print *your receive frequency*
on a QSL card - that's a completely different matter - but to LOG
the receive frequency as you do is completely contrary to every norm
(just like someone who wires the dit contact on their paddles to the
ring instead of the tip) for more than 80 years.  I have some logs
from my wife's grandfather in which the transmit frequency was
logged - not the receive frequency.

The DX station needs to see his transmit frequency
on my QSL, not mine, which he doesn't log anyway.
By doing receive/transceive frequency in one
column and my transmit frequency in a separate
column, I could always use the first frequency
column in filling out the card, regardless of
whether the QSO was simplex or split. I still
prefer that arrangement for browsing my logs --
I want to see the DX's frequency first.

I very well know the definition of QSX, but it
doesn't really have anything to do with how I
like to log QSO info. And it must be noted that
my transmit frequency is ALWAYS logged by this
method.

And to Mike, R3BM, thank you for jogging my
memory! I just had this nagging feeling that
there was something I was leaving out, and auto
connection to the cluster is it. Not just
reconnect after interruption, but automatically
connecting on DX4Win startup. I always use the
same node (unless it's down for some reason),
so DX4Win should at least to try to connect on
program startup. It is a real annoyance to have
to go through the connect sequence every time I
start an operating session (even though it is
just a mouse click, three presses of "Enter"
and a mouse click on my "Login" macro button).
My login macro issues an SH/DX/100 command to
immediately populate the Spots window, and it
would be nice if DX4Win did that as well. Both
DXLab and HRDeluxe automatically connect on
startup.

Support for two rotators would be nice for
those who are lucky enough to have two or more
towers. I have only one 40 foot tower, so that
feature wasn't on my list.

Well, guys... What do you think needs to be
added or fixed for the next release?

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win wish list (In addition to xmmt.ocx)

[Tibor M. Blum - IK2SAI -]

I am on the air since 1991.
I am using dx4win since december 1997 (release 1.07 if i remember well).
I think that this software is just perfect.
My wish list is limited to an improvement of CAT.
I know that is a very hard job but in my opinion is the only part that can be 
discussed.
I saw easy log. It gives a number of radio and a small customizable panel with 
the preferred controls for each one.
I really don't need an HRD cat system but something more than what it is given 
today.
That's all.

Maybe I am silly because I reply to the same question a number of years

Anyway... I like to add to K0CF list, omnirig support.
This adds flexibility and solves a number of problems as
1. support for new radios (dx4win is also back on this),
2. co-operation with pst rotator (multiple rotors)...
and maybe others...

[Dx4win] DX4Win wish list (In addition to xmmt.ocx)

[Ernie Walls]

I have only ever wanted one thing 'fixed' - the ability of the DX4Win logging 
program to retain the correct name/address information per QSO, regardless if 
the call sign has been logged before, or not.

That a logging program cannot do that simple thing (remember, logging programs 
are/should be simple data collectors [or databases, to put it more correctly]) 
has always frustrated me - because I must use a 'workaround' to retain correct 
data (important data) rather than have the program do it property in the first 
place.

And, I am well aware it will never be fixed (too hard, I was once told) but - 
that's my wish.

Oh well!

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win wish list (In addition to xmmt.ocx)

[Mike]

Hi! My two cents:

-What about the automatic reconnection of DX cluster if it lost connection?
WinTest can do it
- More then one antenna rotor support - many HAM's have two or even more
towers/rotors
- When DX4WIN is started, the last QSO in the log is displayed and you
should always push F9 to start logging - why?

DX4Win is certainly due a "refresh". My wish

the next release includes the following:

QRZ.com XML data subscription support in the
F3 Callsign/Mgr Lookup window. This is LONG

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win wish list (In addition to xmmt.ocx)

[R.T.Liddy]

I'd like to say how much I truly enjoy using DX4WIN with all its
capabilities and flexibility. Having AD1C doing the tremendous
job of keeping so many things up-to-date and working properly
is fabulous!
 
Here is something I'd like to see. When I work a station that hasn't
been spotted, I'd like it to appear on the BandMap without me
needing to spot it myself. And, I'd like to be able to enter a station
on the BandMap without working it or spotting it just like can be
done with CTRL+ENTER on many Contest Programs. Either of
these would allow me cruise the Band and know who is where
without clogging up the Packet Network with some spots that no
one else might care about.

Frequency recoding is *correct* now ... one should
*always* log the frequency *on which he transmits*.
The frequency on which one is receiving should be
logged as the "receive frequency" or QSX frequency.

As a point of fact, the definition of QSX as a statement
is: "I am *listening* for [call] on [frequency]"

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[ALAN ZACK]

Jim, 
Thanks for the info. If I remember correct when he brought up the QRZ.COM
info it only showed the name/address/other data but NOT any photos or other
descriptions. In other words if a DX says "you can see my antennas on
QRZ.COM" it won't bring up the DX'ers QRZ.COM page so you can see all his
data and pictures. DX4WIN does.

I am guessing he was using 2 monitors so he could log on one and work data
modes on the other but not sure. I might try to set it up for doing data
stuff. I'll just have to play around with it but will stick with DX4W for my
main logging.

Alan,

No debate that HRD has a learning curve, because it is very feature rich.
For the particular issue you raise, looking up a call, one merely right
clicks on the decoded call and select "call" and the window on the left will
be auto populated with QRZ data such as name, QTH and locator grid, along
with the current solar indices, and a list of bands if you have worked this
station before.  You can do this even before you make the contact or log the
QSO. If you log the QSO, then from the logbook you can click QRZ and all
of the gory details such as QSL route, mailing address, operator age, etc.
will be filled in.

I have used DX4WIN for quite a few years, but have been riding the fence for
the last four, with most of my operating/contesting being done with HRD.
HRD is OK for the casual contester, but it is certainly not top tier for
that purpose.  I primarily migrated to HRD because of the broad support of
digital modes that are built in.

I looked at HRD at the Visalia Intl DX Convention, even got a sample trial

where you could read what was being sent right within HRD and then send your
reply. But it seems really complicated. He was using 2 monitors full of
info. It would seem the learning curve would be big. When I asked how do you
do a lookup of a station that you have just logged or are presently in QSO
with it seemed like a difficult procedure on HRD whereas with DX4WIN you
just have to have the CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP window (F3) open and click on the
guys callsign and it takes you to his QRZ.COM lookup (or Buckmaster if you
have it so programmed). Very simple.

I'm not sure but is HRD both a contesting and a general logging program? I
am now using DX4WIN as my general logger and to track awards (DXCC, IOTA,
WPX) and printing QSL labels and N1MM as my contest logger. Jim has a FB
conversion program to convert a contest ADIF file to a DX4WIN.DXQ file to
import to DX4WIN. I just used it again after last weekend's IOTA contest and
DX4WIN now shows I logged a few new IOTA's.

I have been a loyal DX4WIN user since V2.1, but if there isn't a major 
upgrade by the end of the year I will have no choice but to move 
on--probably to DXLab.  DX4WIN is simply falling too far behind the

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Jay Hainline]

DX4WIN is still lagging way behind on keeping up with the newer digital 
modes and the signal reports used. Very poor when it comes to logging 
JT65-HF and the signal reports sent/received and it does not know about JT9 
yet for example. :-(

[Dx4win] Wish list

[Erkki Heikkinen]

For future releases:

1) Ability to block self spotters.

2) Ability to block non-DX spots inside the same continent (or even
inside the same country)!

3) Ability to block bragging spots: tnx, tks, tu, thx

4) Ability to block begging spots: pse...

These make more than 80% of spots received today. The cluster software
people refuse to make commands available to do this.

I am able to block most of the bragging and begging spots in DXSpider,
but the rest?

IARU and others have made excellent guidelines how to use a DX Cluster,
but very few operators seem to have read them. I have even heard an
Italian station to claim that "DX Code of Conduct" is wrong!

Much education is needed, but how to address the ex-CB operators who do
not care?

Just food for the thought.

[Dx4win] Wish List - Spots

[Hugh Valentine]

As stated earlier:  I would like to see the ability to see only spots needed 
for band Challenge.
In other words, If I have a band that has at least one mode confirmed, I would 
not see the Any mode spots for that band.  This clutters up the DX Spots 
screen.  So many of us are interested in the Challenge now.  Once a Band 
country has been confirmed, I don't need to see additional spots for 
CW/Phone,etc...if I have that band country confirmed...excuse meEntity.

Also, a combined startup for the Cluster Connect when DX4WIN is Opened would be 
very nice.  I am not sure if it can be done in 8.05.

Thanks to everyone who has made DX4WIN what it is today.  I enjoy it and have 
become dependent upon its powers.

 I agree it also.
 Setting QSL DATE RCVD could be part of the F2 function.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN wish list

[ALAN ZACK]

I have searched the DX4WIN home page for a wish list but didn't find one.

I have two suggestions for consideration on future updates.

 

1. In the main logging window in the QSL area there are presently the
following slots: LABEL, QSL DATE, CNFM, and METHOD.

I would like to suggest that the QSL DATE slot be changed to QSL DATE SENT
and an additional slot be added for QSL DATE RCVD. In that way we can track
how long it is from when a QSL is sent until a reply is received. Sometimes
people will ask on the various reflectors if anyone has received a QSL from
a DX station. With this additional slot we could track when the QSL was
received. There is enough room next to the METHOD slot to add this
additional slot.

 

2. I would like to see the CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP window made to automatically
open when the program starts as do the other windows. In other words, once
you open this window DX4WIN would remember its size and position and open it
each time DX4WIN is started as it does to all the other windows selected
from the WINDOW drop down window. As it is now you must hit F3 every time
you start DX4WIN to get the CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP to open. I use it all the
time and don't understand why it can't be made to open with all the other
windows when DX4WIN is started.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish List

[Mel]

maybe you should ask Paul to consider supporting it. You could always 
make an optional cheaper 4 port version for radio control I suspect. 
Maybe some of the contest logger guys would be interested too. I'd love 
to interface it with a box to route Audio and CW lines as well as the RF .

No Mel,
I have made one that has 8 relays and wrote the software

Re: [Dx4win] Wish List

[Mel]

Well I thought the idea of making a hardware switch to control more than 
2 radios was a great idea... how I leave up to the experts ;-) I suppose 
the ideal solution would be a USB driven relay box such as we use for 
band switches. Is there any sort of standard for this functionality yet?

Re: [Dx4win] Wish List

[ON4AOI]

Hi Randy and others,
To make a hardware box that switches between lets say 4 radio´s Isn´t a big
problem,
making a PCB for it is also easy done If Paul provides a second output pin
on LPT port,

BUT is it worth doing it for a LPT port ?

- No contest-program are offering it now, and maybe never will
- Let say you have to select the 3th radio for a contest you have to rewire
your station..   
- Laptops, netbooks and many brand PC´s don´t have LPT ports anymore
- In PC´s you can put a PCI or PCIEX board if you find still full wired
ports at a good price
- BTW USB to LPT adapters are not working, We even bought some that claimed
to do it all
  but had to send them back, (printing was ok but assigning a cmd to a
dedicated pin was out of the question)

I would go for a serial port (USB to SERIAL adapter works perfect and can go
upto com255) It will
need some user setup, for example RTS=0 & DTR=0 > Radio 1 RTS=0 & DTR=1 >
Radio 2
RTS=1 & DTR=1 > Radio 3
RTS=1 & DTR=0 > Radio 4
(If a 3th line is assigned you can have 8 radio´s) I think this is much
easier for other programmers (contest software) to implement another serial
with this function for more then 2 radio´s

If you still wanna use LPT pin14 for switching between radio1 and radio2 it
all depends Now on who is set up for radio1 and radio2 (User input), but LPT
pin14 (and if needed another one) could also be assigned to a serial pin You
only need to lower the voltage from 12V to 5V (can be done with zener diode)
To switch SO2R hardware.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish List

[Mel]

No this is not necessary.

To those of us with more than 2 radios... often the case when active on 
VHF/UHF... it is just necessary to be able to easily select which radio 
is Radio 1 or Radio 2 as a start. This is implemented in most 
competitive logging programs hot switching more than 2 would be even 
better... usually radios VHF UHF have their own antennas/amps so the 
SO2R RF switching is not necessary... however I like your idea for 
expanding the LPT control. I can imagine many useful functions such as 
routing the Mic or Key as well as RF routing.

The problem with this is that it would require a proprietary hardware 
interface. The existing two-radio switching uses the "industry 
standard" LPT pin 14 toggle that's been around since the days of DOS 
loggers such as CT and TR. Paul even made the logic of this control 
line selectable to work with NA in Version 7. This convention works 
well with several commercially-available SO2R switch boxes such as 
the Top Ten DX Doubler I use. Using more than one LPT pin to do the 
radio selection would require some sort of decoding hardware to do 
the switching. I suppose pin 14 could serve as the least significant 
bit of a two-bit radio select word and it would be up to the user to 
come up with a custom switchbox to switch the various audio and 
control lines among the four radios. I know of no hardware that 
supports more than two radios.

Re: [Dx4win] wish list for 8.02 or later

[ON4AOI]

Mike,
With a little hardware it is possible to have 2 rotators and other antennas
Connected to dx4win.
Let us assume that you have only 1 radio and identical rotators.

In preferences|radio tab|set the second radio equal to the first radio
In preferences|CW tab|set the RADIO 1/2 signal to lpt1-2 or 3 (reverse can
be set also) 
Save and exit 
Now you can switch from radio1 to radio2 with ctrl+shift+F12 even it is the
same radio
But when You do this PIN 14 of the selected LPT port is low (radio1) and
high (radio2)
If you connect a relay to pin14 you can switch the serialport from motor1 to
motor2
Also antennas can be switch via this way.

The microHAM devices already have multiple virtual COM Ports.  I use 
DX4WIN and WriteLog together on two different virtual COM ports with one 
radio.

I don't think this is something that Paul should be spending time on. 
It's a hardware issue, HRD should be supporting this, not DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] wish list for 8.02 or later

[Mel]

Hi Tibor.

AFIK #2 is being considered... it might take a while... bugs need to be 
fixed first.

re #1... I think you should ask Simon to implement that in HRD since his 
program would create that requirement with any logging program. (Maybe 
he did... did you ask him?) I use multiple virtual ports as implemented 
my Microham and that works perfectly. As for DX4Win users switching to 
HRD logging... not a chance. D4W users use it for a reason... very fast 
performance and the most accurate award tracking. Did you try Simons' 
log? It uses Microsoft Jet DB so is SLOW! Here is an example...

On my not so fast hamshack computer to import 25K QSOs...

DX4Win (proprietary DB)... about 1 minute.
Logic8 (Foxbase)... about 5 minutes.
DXLabs (MS Jet)... about 30 minutes.
HRD Log (MS Jet)... about 30 minutes

DX4Win to open... about 3 seconds
HRD Log to open... about 30 seconds... that's a looong time when you are 
waiting ;-)

To be fair... I am sure HRD will get faster... Simon is an amazing 
programmer... but he can't make the MS Jet DB go any faster... I suspect 
Microsoft designed it that way to push people to it's SQL server ;) I 
believe he supports connections to other databases such as mySQL but 
that is starting to get complicated for the average user.

Also, using MS Jet DB does make it much easier to access your data... 
for example... you have almost unlimited ability to make adjustments or 
corrections to your log if you are familiar with ACCESS.

Nonetheless, you can't beat D4W for speed.

[Dx4win] wish list for 8.02 or later

[Tibor M. Blum - IK2SAI -]

Ok, i don't know if it is appropriate at this time to make a post like this.

 

Any way: I would like to ask a pair of things to Paul.

 

1)   we can understand that CAT is a very complicated matter. Dx4win do
that in a very primitive manner. But. now that dx4win has the band map
should be very interesting to run connected to the radio. Problem is that
many of us are using dedicated CAT software like HRD or, for the TS2000, the
ARCP2000. Many of use have more than 2.3 radio connected. The only way to
run dx4win together with such these software is a com emulator. I tried a
number of them but they show some problem with dx4win. Now, because dx4win
will be not a CAT program but it is simply the best logging software around
should be a nice feature if, dx4win itself provides  a virtual com system,
good for itself and good for us running a multitasking system. Should be a
nice touch now that the best cat program around (HRD) is going to implement
a logging  software by itself (HRD). Some people should be driven to migrate
from dx4win to HRD log.  

 

2)   This is much more simple. I ham an avid cluster user. All the time
that I connect to my node I do have a number of operations that should be
easy to implement like a macro or something like that. I mean that when I
start dx4win, my log should be connected directly to my node and should
clean all the previous spots in its windows. At the contrary they are all
manual opr.

 

Holidays are at the end.. Contest season is back to the door and seems that
propagation is going to do a better job than last year.

73 and good dx

I agree on all counts. Items 1 and 2 would have saved me a huge

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list, again -- LOTW Import

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I think we're missing Randy's point.  Users shouldn't have to fix this
stuff.  Some will be able to, some won't.

Perhaps Paul can make two changes:

1.  An option to NOT put the LoTW comments in the "Notes for this QSO" field

2.  A Multiple QSO operation to remove such comments from an existing log.

DX4WIN still needs a way to identify cases where the LoTW data doesn't
match what's already in the log.  Randy, I assume that's OK with you.

Check out Boxer

http://www.boxersoftware.com/

It can do regular expressions, but also has a powerful macro language as
well.

Unchecking the detail box suppresses everything except the occurrence 
of the QSL.

Actually, I WANT the state, grid, etc. information to update the log; 
this is especially useful for 6 meter VUCC updates and good to have 
just in case I should decide to start chasing counties in the future. 
I just don't see that it needs to be put in twice, once in the fields 
where it belongs and again in the QSO comments field.

That's the .DXQ file format. In my experience, WordPad (not Notepad) 
does a fine job with search and replace with these files, but I'm 
sure there are lots of third-party text editors that would be more 
powerful. The problem with the LOTW: stuff is that the text in each 
record is unique, so a straight search and replace won't work. I'm 
not aware of a text editor with a search and replace function that 
can find "LOTW: " and replace the 
entire string with a blank. Do you know of any that can do this?

[Mel]

Not really necessary. DX4Win has a very handy feature... export to 
DX4Win format. It creates a text version of the file that can very 
easily be modified with search and replace. Don't use notebook... too 
slow... but you can download PFE which is easy to use and very fast for 
large searches... orders of magnitude faster than notebook.

Hi all,
 
  I realize that Randy was wanting the "fix" in the next DX4WIN version; but...
 
  Does anyone else dislike the LOTW: phrase as much as Randy?  Let me know 
direct (save band-width).  If enough people would like it removed, I can write 
a program that would remove all, or the non-conflicting fields, fields from the 
log (either a ADIF or .DXQ file).
 
  If I write a program, are there any other "clean up" options that anyone 
might want?
For instance, if I find a "Error:Mode=OLIVIA" msg in the QSO Notes, should 
I change the MODE to OLIVIA and remove the msg from the notes?

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list, again -- LOTW Import

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

This is easily solved, but BEFORE the fact.

Before you download the lotwreport.adi file from ARRL, there is a
check box (normally UNCHECKED) that allows you to include extra
information in the downloaded lotwreport.adi file.

You must be checking that box, because that is what is adding all the
extra data into your log.

[Dx4win] Wish list, again -- LOTW Import

[Randy Farmer]

Having just done a major cleanup of a log with around 55K QSOs, many 
of them imports from contest logs, I would like to revive the "Wish 
List" thread in hopes of influencing the development of future 
versions of DX4WIN. Specifically, there is room for major improvement 
in how DX4WIN handles data imports from downloaded LOTW reports.

About a year ago, I bit the bullet and decided to import all the 50K+ 
QSOs from my electronic contest logs, going back to 1989. When the 
import was complete, I uploaded the log (in several installments) to 
the LOTW server and was rewarded with around 4000 QSLs. I just did 
the import of the LOTW report ADIF files back into DX4WIN with the 
"Imported QSO sets Upload Flag" option set, and have continued to 
follow that procedure with succeeding updates ever since. This worked 
fine, and I have picked up lots of DXCC credits from this process.

A couple of weeks ago, I happened to be scrolling through the logbook 
window and realized that the log file was terribly cluttered with 
large amounts of redundant information in the Notes for this QSO 
field. I decided to see if I could clean up a lot of this stuff. To 
my horror, I found in excess of 3000 records that needed to have this 
material expunged.

What do I mean by redundant? If you look at what happens when the 
program imports a LOTW report, you'll understand. To give a near 
worst-case example, let's say I get a LOTW QSL for a QSO I made with 
my friend KU8E in the CQ WPX contest. Since the only exchange in WPX 
consists of a 599 and serial number, the original contest QSO record 
will have only the received serial number in the Received log field 
and the Notes for this QSO field will say "Freq=xx,xxxKHz, WPX CW 
". (This is the result of using AD1C's very nice ADIF2DXQ 
software -- thanks, Jim!). When I do the import of the LOTW record, 
assuming Jeff has provided all the possible information, the 
following will be appended to the text in the Notes for this QSO 
field: "LOTW: State=GA County=Harris Grid=EM72 CQZone<>5".

What's redundant here? Practically everything! The "LOTW:" part isn't 
needed, since the record import sets the Upl Cnf flag. The 'State=GA 
County=Harris" aren't needed, since the record import populates the 
State and County fields. Similarly, the Grid field is also populated, 
so the "Grid=EM72" isn't needed.

The "CQZone<>5" part IS useful information, given that the initial 
import of the contest QSO caused DX4WIN to populate the Zone field 
with a 4 based on the "8" in the call. Unfortunately, DX4WIN does NOT 
update the Zone from the imported data. This may not be all bad, 
since there are a good many LOTW users who mistakenly enter their 
IARU zone in the CQ zone box when they upload their log files and 
thus provide the wrong zone in their QSL record.

The details of the log changes are really good to have, but they 
certainly don't belong in the Notes for this QSO field. This 
information should instead be placed in a transaction log that is 
generated (or appended to) by the import process. Some sort of 
indicator in the log that there is updated data that conflicts with 
previously logged information is a good idea, but this would be much 
less intrusive than filling the log file with what amounts to a 
transaction log of the import process.

By the way, manually editing thousands of records in the log to get 
rid of the spurious text was simply too overwhelming to contemplate, 
as the program provides no tools to manipulate the notes field. What 
I ended up doing was to export the log in chunks as a .dxq file 
(choose File > Import/Export from the main window, and then select 
DX4WIN6 format > File > Export in the Import/Export Filters window) 
and use WordPad to edit the .dxq file.

Editing the .dxq file with WordPad is still a major pain, since the 
text following the "LOTW:" in each record is unique and you can't 
just do a search and replace to remove the unwanted text. But it does 
go much, much faster working with the text file to select and delete 
the spurious content from each record. After fixing the .dxq file, I 
then re-imported it into the original log file and let the imported 
dupes replace the existing records.

I broke the project into manageable chunks and finally got all the 
log entries fixed. It was a monumental job. You can bet I'll stay on 
top of it in the future.

Lest this sound like too much like whining, I want to be clear that 
I'm still extremely pleased with the comprehensive capabilities of 
DX4WIN. It does a great job of keeping track of award status and 
gives the user unparalleled flexibility in handling log data. But 
like any software, there's always room for improvement. In my book 
fixing the LOTW import process would be a great leap forward.

What version DX4WIN?

The modes that are enabled in your station preferences will be listed
first (in alphabetical order), then the rest of the (unenabled) modes
will be listed next, also in alphabetical order.

I think this has been a feature of Version 7, maybe Version 6 too.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Mel Martin]

Check again... you should see this order: CW, SSB, RTTY, ASCI, ATV, and
so on.

I still think inactive modes should not appear at all... generally D4W
is very good at data entry in off-line mode without using the mouse if
you set up the "disable fields" which just disables tabs to that field 
... but if I enter an SSB contact followed by a CW
contact I have to hit the C twice when Mode has the focus to step
through Clover. Not a big deal... just untidy...

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Terry]

I'm not seeing this behavior.  I only have CW, SSB & RTTY enabled and 
yet the mode field in the QSO window still shows everything in 
alphabetical order.  Up-arrow or down-arrow makes no difference.

Note that PSK31 is the correct mode, PSK isn't even an ADIF mode and the 
QSO will be kicked out if you try to sign the log for LoTW.

Make sure that the mode field is enabled. just hit S to select SSB and C
once or twice to select CW (Clover also starts with C). You work PSK and

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

You can work around it, if you use the UP arrow to change the mode.  The 
modes that you have enabled in the program are in the list FIRST, 
followed by the disabled modes.  I realize it's not an ideal solution.

I can see the downside to what you're suggesting, however.  Say you try 
to log a QSO on a non-enabled band or mode.  Now you can't log it 
without changing your preferences.  I can see how it's easy to lose such 
a QSO in the panic of battle.  Or you can log it with the wrong band or 
mode, change your prefs, then change the QSO, something else that's easy 
to forget to do.

[Dx4win] Wish list

I might as well get on the band-wagon.  Someone pointed out that it should
not be so difficult to provide the mode for a contact.  I do a lot of mobile
work and log on a voice recorder, which I manually log into DXW every few
days.  I REALLY would like to be able to use a "C" for CW, "P" for PSK31,
"R" for RTTY and "S" for SSB and not have to sort through a myriad of other
modes, used from my home station from time-to-time.

 

I have the same problem for band, but am not sure how it could be
implemented.  It would help if I could roll the mouse wheel to select the
correct operating band.

 

Thanks for the continued support, Paul and gang!

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Alan Zack]

As it is now D4Win remembers which windows you have selected to use and 
opens these windows every time you start the program EXCEPT the F3 
window.
I use the F3, CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP window every time I use the program. 
Could the F3 window be set to open with all the other windows when the 
program is started?
No biggie, one can always press F3 after the program starts.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Mel Martin]

The way I think D4W is working... that's not going to happen like that.

However, it is possible to have a combined award display where the spot 
priority (which determines the color) is determined to be the higher of 
the awards you are actively chasing. That way, if you needed Zone 2 on 
160M, if you see a brightly colored VE2 you can be pretty sure it's Zone 
2. I don't think that would be too much work for Paul... and I suspect, 
given D4W's "raison d'être" is award chasing, he is going to support the 
new CQ awards eventually and will need some extra selections. Instead of 
having a selection DXCC/WAZ/WPX have checkboxes for DXCC/WAZ/WPX/CQ 
Field at the top of the form. If you check DXCC and WAZ... if its 
flagged... work it... figure out why later ;-)

Like many of us I chase DXCC and WAZ.  Something I have requested for 
years is the ability to view DXCC and WAZ opportunities at the same time 
in the DX Spots window.  I find it very inconvenient to  be required to 
toggle between DXCC/WAZ/WPX.  However I've never taken the time to lay 
out how I think it would work.

I've created a mockup to show my idea.  The last column on the right is 
one I created to show WAZ opportunities.  The colors would be the same 
as you have set up for DXCC.  To be complete I guess there should also 
be a WPX column that would function the same.  I would leave the 
DXCC/WAZ/WPX toggle as this would determine which of the three the main 
screen shows.  The two new columns then would display the other two.

Hi David and Dick,

Wise words from both of you 

I am beta tester for many years now 
And I agree that the wish lists are sometimes very interesting
for a lot of people, sometimes it concerns only a few.
In other words to satisfy everybody is an illusion.
I think that there will be always discussions about what kind of
New possibilities or fields or maps etc Paul has cooked
for us in a next release.

Hi Dick,
I haven't been involved in software for quite as long as you (only 
since the mid-70s ... I'm a youngster), but I had a saying that I used 
to use along those same lines: "Fast, cheap, good: Pick two". Of course, 
in a situation like this, with a single developer it's tough to apply 
the "fast" attribute, though I suppose if Paul wanted to, he could spend 
a fortune, hire a fleet of programmers, and then have to pass the entire 
cost on to us, something that probably isn't practical. Personally, 
while there are a few features I'd like to see, I'd prefer to see it get 
done right, rather than simply fast.
   
What I do think is great is the increase in communication from Paul, 
so that we know that he's listening to what folks are asking for. While 
I wouldn't mind getting a sneak peak at what kinds of things are in 
store for the next version (be it version 8, 7.3, or whatever), I also 
realize that it's Paul's decision and he's going to do what's best for 
his business.

It is truly amazing how many people haven't a clue what is involved 
in a typical software development cycle.  Everybody wants all this 
new stuff designed, coded, alpha and beta tested, documented and 
released in less than 60 days.  All by a single developer who has a 
real job in an economy that probably requires he put in more hours than
usual.

I have been involved in software development since the 60's and there 
is something we used to call a SMOP--Small Matter Of Programming.  It 
was a derisive term we used to describe changes suggested by people 
(usually upper managers) who had no clue what would be involved to 
implement them.

Yes, Paul is a good programmer.  Yes, Paul -could- probably implement 
most of the requested changes.  But let him make that those choices 
and determine how long they will take.

It is always good for customers to provide wish lists for future
improvements.
It is always good for customers to provide dates they would like to 
see new versions.
Pick one.

It is truly amazing how many people haven't a clue what is involved 
in a typical software development cycle.  Everybody wants all this 
new stuff designed, coded, alpha and beta tested, documented and 
released in less than 60 days.  All by a single developer who has a 
real job in an economy that probably requires he put in more hours than usual.

I have been involved in software development since the 60's and there 
is something we used to call a SMOP--Small Matter Of Programming.  It 
was a derisive term we used to describe changes suggested by people 
(usually upper managers) who had no clue what would be involved to 
implement them.

Yes, Paul is a good programmer.  Yes, Paul -could- probably implement 
most of the requested changes.  But let him make that those choices 
and determine how long they will take.

It is always good for customers to provide wish lists for future improvements.
It is always good for customers to provide dates they would like to 
see new versions.
Pick one.

And maybe a more straightforward of tracking LOTW confirmations vs. 
card-in-hand in regards to awards submissions.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win - Wish list

[Mel Martin]

It isn't copied Ernie... it is a unique record that maps to the 
callsign... and is very useful as it stands... it should be left alone. 
BTW, I have the same issue as my log goes back to 1969.

What Paul needs to do is add a new field for name. I'm not sure, with 
access to QRZ.Com and such, whether there is any need to store the 
address... maybe a short field for QTH might be useful. These fields 
perhaps should copy forward by default... but this could be overridden. 
This would take care of this issue or archival information.

And Paul... PLEASE add a field for frequency data. D4W complicates lfe 
unnecessarily when exchanging data via ADIF by not supporting dedicated 
fields for Name/QTH/Freq.

Paul, if you read this... it would require a data migration utility.
The present convention seems to be name on the first line and QTH on the 
second line of notes.

[Dx4win] DX4Win - Wish list

[Ernie Walls]

I have been reading the posts with great interest, and was 'happy' to see
that the number of groups was going to be increased beyond 256 in the next
update. I had been asking for that since 2005, but re-arranged my log only
six months ago, believing that there was no likelihood of this change being
made. Better late than never, as it will, obviously, help others.

 

My other, very long standing, wish is that the name/address of any call
should not automatically be copied to a new QSO in the 'Notes for this Call'
box. The sheer number of 'old' calls' re-appearing with new owners makes
this information, as it functionally stands, useless as far as accuracy is
concerned for a significant, and growing, number of calls.  Also, many
Dxpeditions now identify the actual operator with which you had the QSO, and
it would be nice if you could record this information, accurately, in the
'Notes for this Call' box. (Yes, I know you can record it in the 'Notes for
this QSO' box - but that is a, poor, second best, scenario.  

So, a 'switch' to turn this function 'on/off' would be a good way to suit
everyone.

 

My wish!

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Mel Martin]

Along the same lines... it would be nice if the Modes drop down only 
listed valid nodes for the station. Minor... but should be real easy.

Another are that needs a look is the Calendar. That has to be the worst 
user interface I have ever encountered... except for perhaps MultiPSK 
;-) Along with an easy to use import we could keep a master calendar on 
Jim's site for import... wouldn't that be handy...

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list

[Mel Martin]

1. Very nice though not urgent. Fixing the map would be nice also.
2. Autologin would be nice.
3. Nice but not urgent. Present procedure only has to be done once a 
month so I don't really mind. Adding support for eQSL is more important.
4. This is important! The current  program makes reconciling country 
file updates difficult. We should be able to verify ANY changes that 
affect already logged QSOs. In addition, we should be able to control 
the merge of a country file... for example, not allowing changes before 
a certain date. It worries me that if we presently update a country file 
which can affect Qs going back decades we are VERY dependent on Jim 
doing a good job... and he just might get fed up with the responsibility 
some day ;-) We also need better tools to identify and reconcile changes 
in QSL managers.
5. No opinion... I haven't had an issue here... but when flagging QSOs 
for print... I would like a way of printing a custom comment on a 
specific QSO.
6. Sure... that could be a good idea.

[Dx4win] Wish List - More Radios

[Scott Neader KA9FOX]

Hi Tony.  I'd like this as well.   In the mean time, if you have a couple 
of radios that are the same (like two FT1000MPs in an SO2R configuration, 
for example) you can use a 9-pin A/B switch box.  A cheap and pretty easy 
solution to switching between a couple of similar radios.  You may have 
thought of this already, or don't have any matching radios, but though I 
would throw that out there.

Dear All,

My real big wish for DX4WIN would be for it to be able to accommodate more
than two radios. The change from 1 to 2 radios, a little while ago, was
great. Can it now be written to allow for 3 or 4 radios??

Would be of great interest and save so much unplugging and what have you.

Is it being considered?? Or should I say can it be done??

Hi all, one thing I would love to see on  future version of DX4WIN is as
follows. I receive a number of cards from SWL's confirming that they have
heard me talking to whoever. I always reply to SWL's using the SWL label
printing services of DX4WN. However the label that is printed does not show
to whom I was talking, it just shows SWL's "callsign" and of course my own?
Is it easy to make a change to show the callsign of the station I was
talking to??

[Dx4win] Wish list

[Rick Graham]

Having played with "the rocks" this past weekend, I see that the only MS
mode is JT44. JT44 is not used that much anymore in favor of JT65 and
FSK441A (which FSK44 is listed). Perhaps to just put JT as the mode as there
are new flavors popping up all the time.

FYI, I worked NOTHING in the shower, oh well it was/is fun anyways!

[Dx4win] WISH LIST

[Rob]

Rick,

Your AI idea is great, but please consider Aurora is not restricted to VHF !
I have made dozens of Aurora-contacts in the past on HF, mainly 28 MHz, but
also a couple on 21 and 18 MHz I can tell you all of them had the
typical Au-hiss.

As I'm typing in some of my old logs to DX4WIN, I wish that it would have a

The exception would be for Aurora contacts (57A), but then again if it had

[Dx4win] Wish list

[Stan Staten]

To amplify further, I am watching the spots on the 10M contest and in
both the blue on white and white on blue spots, there are countries that
I have confirmed.  The Blue letters on white background also shows a lot
of US stuff.  Maybe I have missed something (not too unlikely).

73 Stan, N3HS

It may be but it is forced off the screen by different mode and/or band
(the other blue spot).

[Dx4win] DX4WIN wish list

[Mike Rhodes]

Dave,
  That is the exaact reason I file my QSLs by callsign instead of Country.
Makes it much easier to pull them for a submission.
  However, I too often have the need to order the contacts in some different
form.  Simplest way I have come up with is to save the report as a file and
then import it into a spreadsheet program and sort it any which way.

I've just finished the arduous task of submitting 775 QSLs for various DXCC
awards and one change in the Submission feature would have made the job MUCH
easier: Would it be possible for the Submission sort to be by Prefix (in
DX4WIN language, that's DXCC Entity) order, rather than by Callsign? As an
example,  the card for 3E1DX would appear under HP Panama, rather than under
3E1.

For those of us who file cards in country order, this change would make
pulling those cards for DXCC submissions more efficient (if still not
pleasurable!).

Dave, W2PK

[Dx4win] Wish List - Filter Functionality

[Mike Rhodes]

Just wondering if it is possible to make the filter function effective when
doing QSL labels. I have a small number of Qs marked for labels at the
moment but have an even smaller portion of those that I would like to
process right now. Looks like my options are, 1) Process them all, or 2)
Manually deselect the ones I don't want to do now and then manually put them
back in, neither of which is nearly as appealing as just filtering the ones
I want. Same thing applies when doing a DXCC Submission function. Sure would
be nice to be able to do that on filtered data, especially when trying to
work around the $0.20 per card over 120 limit (or whatever the correct
numbers are :--)  ). I can see myself doing multiple filtered passes on the
log and trimming the fat in between runs to get the card count I am looking
for. Those are just the two occasions that come to mind at the moment. There
are probably other times when it would be handy too. Or, have I completely
overlooked something and the way to accomplish what I'm trying to do already
exists?

But regardless, DX4Win is still the best damn logging program going !!

[Dx4win] Wish List - DTR & RTS Line

[Bob Thompson - N9SF]

HI Paul & Fellow DX4WINr's,
Some time ago I purchased a RIGblaster plus for all the new digital modes 
to use with a TS-850.  I'll try to make this short...  In order to operate 
CW from DX4WIN it would be nice if BOTH the DTR & RTS lines for PTT & CW 
keying could be directed to another COM port apart from the one used by the 
radio.  If my idea is correct, this would allow compatibility with other 
RTTY (using true FSK) & CW software.  I believe the current options are 
NONE, LPT1 through 3, DTR on Radio port, and RTS on Radio port.

Recently, there has been some discussion on serial port cards.  For those 
that may be looking for another alternative, I am successfully using a PCI 
bus four port serial card by JDR Microdevices, Cat # MCT-4PS-1, with a 
Windows 2000 system.  What a relief the PCI bus offers from all the old ISA 
bus related IRQ juggling.

73/DX
