The only parts of DXLab that I use (and I've used it since getting back on the air in 2003), are DXkeeper and Spot Collector. 99% of my operation is contesting. I log in N1MM+, export logs to DXKeeper, use it to interface with LOTW, eQSL, ClubLog. When DXpeditions were still using RTTY, I used WinWarbler to work them. Now it's WSJT-X, and it logs to DXKeeper through JTAlert. Random CW QSOs get logged to DXKeeper using the Capture window. DXKeeper does a great job of keeping track of awards, and is great for assembling applications, especially DXCC. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] K4D compatibility
Not to mention that the updates to all HRD modules, are four years (PLUS!) behind the promised release date (now ONLY the logbook update is mentioned; THEN other modules, like K4 control perhaps someday...). I'm migrating to DXLabs, but (being polite) it's a 'process' (tedium YOWCH!) but Win4K4 has the 'prettiest' rig control app, so far (while waiting for VK4). No one suite, is complete, pretty or effective so it's still a hodge podge of display filling panels, more than the display can show at one time (even on a 4K monitor). There is so much needing to be seen, I'm adding another monitor, hoping that helps. If only the apps each spoke a common language, so mix and match wasn't so complicated (or impossible); but the variables in each station is complex. (THEN add remote ops from a multiplatform system...) It's no wonder I still prefer twisting knobs and mashing buttons, hi hi. Simple just ROCKS! 73, Rick nk7i PS I hope your talk on Tues will be recorded, I'll be in the middle of an airport run to get the grands for a visit and won't get to see it.
