Paul/Jim Right, I have managed to get the issue to repeat.
Use an F8 search to look for all QSOs with IOTA OC001. Because DX4Win knows that there is only one island name under that group, it automatically fills in the Iota island field. Then do a fresh F8 search for anybody you know is in your log, preferably not on OC-001. On mine, it fails to find any QSOs. I looked for my uncle with whom I have had dozens of QSOs. I had to restart DX4Win to get out of the 'No matching QSO' loop. I hope that makes sense. It seems that the new feature in version 9 whereby it completes the Island Name field is causing a problem in subsequent F8 searches. 73, ian G4IIY -----Original Message----- From: Ernie Walls [mailto:vk...@wallsy.com.au] Sent: 23 October 2017 15:41 To: Ian Fugler Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Callsign lookups. Hello Ian - you were the first with the answer and how very simple it turned out to be. I am sure that I never had to use 'ALT' in 8.05 but just F3! I gave up using DX4Win as my main logger some time ago because I got frustrated with its deficiencies, although I kept v8.05 current, in parallel with DXKeeper (probably because, being retired, I could) and when I saw the upgrade available thought I would invest the few dollars and see what difference it made. There are a very large number of 'corrections' necessary if I want to get things back to a pristine condition in DX4Win - some things like correcting the mode are very easy but other things, like correcting the report boxes, will take many hours of patient work, but I will give it a try and see what becomes of it all. DXKeeper does all the data collection (mode and report, for instance) perfectly but, to a computer battler as I am, it is dreadfully complicated and, for me, my major complaint is that it does many more things that I do not want than things I need and do want! Ian, thanks again, stay happy, healthy and safe and 73 from VK3.

Instead of just F3, try ALT F3. Working ok here with the new command.

Can some kind soul tell me how to get the QRZ.com callsign lookup feature working. A couple of pieces of info - this still works instantly and flawlessly in 8.05, and so easy was it to apply even I had no problem getting it working. And.. I do not have a paid subscription to QRZ.com. I use the free service. For the life of me I cannot get this working and either cannot find the correct information to allow me to get it working or cannot understand the information that I can find about the subject. And yes, I do have VERY POOR computer skills. Please be detailed and provide info step by step and if you think necessary (or better) send the information directly to me. Thanks in anticipation.
