I migrated from 6.04 to 7.x
Everything seemed to be okay, so I did a mega-import of contest logs
into the new All QSO's database, uploaded it all to LoTW, and then
downloaded the results into DX4Win.
My troubles started when I finally got around to using it with the
radio, an Orion. IT all worked in previous versions.
1. I can't connect to the Internet clusters, although by all
appearances, it should work. Nothing happens when I click on the node,
et al, as per the correct procedures. I just go back to the blank
packet screen.
2. If the radio is in the CW mode, it is keyed (key down) and won't get
out of that mode. Note the the setup (port, et al), is the same as with
WriteLog, where this does *not* happen.
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
Do I reload the old *.ini file? It won't have the new categories for
the QSO's I've added.
Thanks,

Two possibilities:
1. Did you re-order your old DX4WIN.TCP file so your home node is at the
top? The file that comes with an upgrade has all the nodes in the default
order, so you will need to edit it again.
2. Are you running firewall software? DX4WIN.EXE will be a new version which
must be enabled in your firewall software to access the 'net.
Do I reload the old *.ini file? It won't have the new categories for

You should have done this anyway. If by categories you mean groups, those
are part of the .DXL (log) file, not the configuration (.CFG) file.

Is there a way I can ask DX4Win to go through, say, my ARRL DX CW test QSOs
and tell me which of those QSOs have callsign prefixes that I haven't yet
confirmed on CW? I've read a number of the questions regarding filtering
but am not sure any of them pertain to this situation.
Labels - Mark for QSL

p.s. I use the go through each QSO and look at the WPX window method myself.

Joe,
The answer to your question is Yes, there is a way that DX4WIN can assist
you in locating those new DXCC entities (and also for WAS). It requires
multiple steps -- but only takes about 5 minutes and is a whole lot better
than crawling through every contest QSO and looking at the Country window...
PREPARATION
1. Back-up or make a copy of your log in case you completely mess things up
;-)
2. Use the filter command to examine your log for an unused QSL method that
will be your search mechanism. I determined that I had no QSOs marked with
the QSL method - so this is the one I would employ in the following
steps.
LOCATING THE NEW PREFIXES
1. Select Labels - Mark for QSL
2. In the Mark QSOs for QSL dialogue window, set the Award = DXCC
3. Set the Mode method to (leave other Methods blank)
4. Leave the Weeks = 0 [my experience shows that Weeks do not work!]
5. Set Only QSOs after mm/dd/ to the date preceding the contest. Click
ok
6. A dialogue window will display the number of affected QSOs. [= new DXCC
entities worked in the contest!]
DO NOT press the Save button at this point - you might not want to Save
the changes you made to your log!
DISPLAYING THE NEW PREFIXES
To see the QSOs DX4WIN has identified as new DXCC prefixes:
1. Select Filter - Search (or press F8)
2. Filter on: Label = Y, Method = , press Enter
3. Select Window - Logbook
You are now staring at the list of QSOs with the new prefixes.
Modify/set/QSL/print labels/etc as you see fit.
If this worked the way you wanted, press the Save button. If it did not,
close the log without saving. This technique has worked for me after several
contests. Thanks to Jim Reisert for pointing me in the right
