Re: [Dx4win] CW announce, nil
Thank you so much for the replies. Always good to have extra tools in the toolbox you never seem to have enough lol Right now I don’t even know if I’m looking for a file for just a button I have to push. Looking at “help” I don’t see how CW announce works (calling out needed incoming spots) How do you troubleshoot it when it’s not working? 73 Bernie/WO2N.> > On Mar 12, 2023, at 10:52 AM, David Kozinn, K2DBK wrote: > > I agree with Lee, I've been using this for longer than I can remember and > it's saved me countless hours of digging around trying to find something. > > -Original Message- > From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On > Behalf Of LEE HALLIN > Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2023 3:16 AM > To: w...@att.net; dx4win@mailman. net > Subject: Re: [Dx4win] CW announce, nil > > I have found a program called "everything" (Freeware from > https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/) extremely handy in tracking files down. > It searches all your drives (hard or SSD) for a file name or wildcarded name > you specify (Ex: *.DXQ) and then displays a list.

DX4Win is till using an archaic method of generating the sidetone using the PC speaker which was really only intended to give audible beeps for troubleshooting computers long before sound hardware was standard.

Jorge, See if your sound card has a set of pins that you can push on the connector that presently goes to your PC's internal speaker. Some do, but many do not. If it has two inputs for more than one CD-Rom drive, you can also use one of these if one is still available, and not being used, but you must use a swamping resistor to limit the input to the sound card to near line level vs.the PC speaker level. That's the only way, as the software just talks to the PC speaker circuitry as designed, likely with the assumption that you can still use it without a sound card and to make it work without any added hardware requirements. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=- - Original Message - From: Jorge Garc?a [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 9:28 AM Subject: [Dx4win] cw announce Dr. Paul, in ver. 6.04 spots CW announce still through the small speaker of the computer?Let me know if there are a solutiontnx es 73,jorge garcia/EA8ASE ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

For some mysterious reason that doesn't work. Although I have declared C:\program files\qrz ham radio\callbk as my data directory in the preferencesEXT DATA menu, I get a database not found error. However, if I put the original CD ROM in my ROM drive, it returns the proper information.
