I am not a computer wizard, but is it possible to program an unused function key (say F12) to execute: enter alt s sequence ?? That way you could enter QSO (from a spot) and write to disk with one button. That would be a neat solution. Just a thought. Bob, W5LT

My 2 cents is that an overall better solution is to keep your computer on a small interruptible power supply (UPS). You don't need one that will last that long (5 or 10 minutes is fine), and there are plenty of small ones available from companies like APC (www.apc.com), Belkin (www.belkin.com)

Mark: Help me here if you will; I like the brice, but . . . . All I see on Staples web site is APC's 210w 350VA at $80 and larger more expensive units. How did you find your $20 unit? What did you mean by AR? Bill, W3QB == On Feb 18, 2008, at 10:30 AM, Mark wrote:

Jim's explanation of DX4WIN Data Protection Strategies should be required reading for DX4WIN users. I have suggested in the past that DX4WIN add an option that when set would cause DX4WIN to save (in the DXL file) each QSO after it is entered without any additional user manual input. I have

Hey Glen, As reliable as REC (REA) power is, even I have a ups on my dx4win computer and the Ye Ole Icom 781. I have learned the hard way too. Now I use the SAVE button a lot more too plus the export button to save the Q's to another source. I am using a APC 1000 unit. Another thing I do:
