[Dx4win] Openning Packet Window Closes Connection

Bill, I'm not at the ham shack computer, but I think "bye" is in F3 or F4. I'm not surprised that something different happens when you try this--it may depend on just how your screen is set up. Nonetheless, we now know I'm not doing something wrong. Have we discovered a bug? 73, Frank - Ori

[Dx4win] How to log ISS QSO?

2002-07-30 Thread Brian Wruble
Hi All: I just worked the International Space Station, Valery, RS0ISS. DX4WIN thinks it is UA9. Obviously it doesn't count as UA9 on 2 meters. How do I log it? Does DX4WIN have a country for manned spacecraft? Perhaps it should be "AM" Aeronautical mobile. Any thoughts? I am thrilled to have

Actually DOS is not really "gone". One has to understand the architecture of XP, Win2K as well as WinNT4. They are much the same. DOS as well as the 16 bit runtime run as "sub-systems". This has been true with XP and its predecessors. Chances are that DOS will never go away because there a

Brian, If you have "Quick Split" set to "On" on the 756PROII, the behavior you mention is the default. The easiest way to accomplish the behavior you want is to set "Quick Split" to "Off". Then clicking on spots will set the spit frequencies correctly and bring the main VFO "VFO A" into the fore

Hi all - I have been watching this list for some time now and it goes without saying that I'm impressed with the knowledge displayed. I can find my way around the keyboard but comparing my computer knowledge to most of yours is like comparing putt putt golf to the PGA tour. I would like the opini

XP is an evolution of WIN2000 and WIN98 and doesn't "really" have DOS. XP and WIn2000 have a Command Prompt (C:> prompt), and certain old DOS commands are still available, but I doubt you could count on "old" ham programs that utilize anything very special, e.g. soundcard, to work under XP. This

I just purchased a new PC that uses Windows XP. I hooked up my 1000mp to the serial port and everything seemed to work fine. Until i turned the radio off while connected to the DX Cluster. I got a message of an interrupt and clicked OK. Then i decided to turn the rig back on and i also clicked t

Others may have differing opinions, and may want to even elaborate more I have XP on my main machine and my wife's. I kept 98 on my radio machine. All of them are networked in a home system. I think keeping 98 on my radio computer was a wise move on my part. Bob Perring

Hi Frank, I just tried this event you described. I had not noticed but mine sends the info in the #1 buffer when I maximize the packet screen. It's not the "bye" tho, I have put my call in the first buffer. Do you have "bye" in the #1 buffer??? 73 Bill -W5VW "Frank Grossman (WB2BXO)" wrote:N

A little known dollar saver is that you CAN send cards for foreign DX stations, who have US managers, through the ARRL outgoing bureau. It's OK for casual contacts, but not for serious dx-peditions where you would want to confirm multiple contacts and send them some money to defray postage and oth

Noticed an interesting problem the other day. Thought I was making some error, but now think I'm missing something... I normally minimize the Packet Window to save screen real-estate once my connection is up and running. From time-to-time, though, open the Window again either to see unfiltered
