[Dx4win] Slow start when opening DX4WIN (Win10)
Got a new computer recently and I notice that when I click the DX4WIN icon, it takes 3-4 seconds before the program comes up. This is a fast computer (i7-7700K 4.2 GHz 16GB RAM) and the 150K QSO log loads in a fraction of a second (much faster than last system), once the program is up, but I'm wondering why it takes so long to start. My previous computer was a Win7 machine, and the program came up quicker. Is this a Win10 thing or is there some setting I need to tweak?

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW report question
Mystery solved! 11 of the 12 QSOs in question were for PJ2/W2UP. Apparently LOTW lumps them together, but I have a separate log for that operation. 1 of the 12 QSOs, S55W from 2004, was just recently uploaded by him. He had the mode as Phone, not SSB.

(It's quite possible for this to happen if your computer has been compromised, but if that's the case then the DXCC desk needs to mark all of your QSOs as invalid and ineligible for DXCC until you clear this up.)

[Dx4win] Next pproblem with ADI file
OK, I found the missing 15m QSO. As I only have 2 needed countries on 15m, it wasn't hard to find it, going through the Clublog DXCC matrix for my log. Seems that a QSO from SV2ASP/A from 5/2014 is missing from my Clublog log, but is in my LOTW log. Unless I forgot to upload the ADI file containing the QSO to Clublog, even though I did upload it to LOTW, I don't understand why it's missing. Sooo, following Cesar's suggestion, I thought I'd re-upload my entire log to Clublog. I set the LOTW upload flag and in DX4WIN says it set ~139K flags. When I click Export to LOTW, and the ADI file is written, it only writes about 125K QSOs. Looking at the file in MSWord, it's truncated in 2012. Any idea why that would happen? Does DX4WIN have a file size limitation when writing an ADI file?

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN UPDATE
As I'm not very active these days and don't really chase awards any more, DX4WIn still suits my needs. If I were more active and chasing awards, I would have looked elsewhere about 5 years ago. I predict the next update will be a patch to keep it working with Win9. Barry W2UP P.S.

It also interfaces beautifully with SteppIR and the Top Ten Devices DX Doubler (SO2R box) and Band Decoder -- and my two K3s. Plus, we get all of the great free support from Jim, AD1C. If Paul was trying to charge us an annual maintenance fee, that would be a different matter. I have tried converting to HRD and DXLabs several times and both come crunching to a halt when I try to load in my number of contacts. There is also no practical way to automatically enter all of the DXCC confirmations for almost 2,500 band/countries into a new program. Unfortunately, I do not recommend DX4WIN to friends given the lack of support and communication from Paul and the uncertainty of support for the program going forward--especially when new users would have to pay for a non-supported product. But whenever logging programs come up for discussion, I tend to be quiet and count my blessings that I have the best program on the market--and I don't have to pay an annual maintenance fee.

Re: [Dx4win] Updates
Well said, Lou. I am another early adopter of DX4WIN, from back in the early days of Windows (3.1?) I started with DXLOG (for DOS) and after a number of empty promises of a Win version from its developer (who lived 5 miles from me at the time), I switched to DX4WIN. There are things DX4WIN could do better and more efficiently. The only reason I'm still with it is I don't actively chase awards or (paper) QSLs any more. If I did, I would have jumped ship a number of years ago. And if it weren't for AD1C's generous support, I don't believe there would be many users left today.

DX4Win started as a logging program as I recall. Operating was up to the person who had the amateur license; logging the QSO'S that resulted from the operating was the job of the program. Over time the intellectual property owner has chosen to add features and present new Versions for sale. Some of the added features happen to relate to operating things rather than logging of QSO's. As purchasers and users all we can properly expect is that the features declared to be in the Version we purchased work as they are defined to work for the equipment environment for which they are declared to be functional. That implies that new radios , new rotators or new COM to USB devices are not explicitly supported. If the IP owner chooses to modify the Version to expand the supported equipment environment, great. The same thing is true for logging/operating features. If the IP owner chooses to add them, fine. It seems a bit unreasonable to use the product user reflector to 'bad mouth' the IP owner. Of course there is nothing wrong with making suggestions that the product planner can consider when ( and if ) a new product or new version is being planned. Commenting on what you wish was present or even identifying an alternate product that has a feature you 'wish' was present seems reasonable. Building a list of features that users wish were present seems reasonable too; particularly if maintenance of such a listing is not expected to be the job of the IP owner. It would be even nicer if someone had that list on a web site so it could be referenced by people. That might reduce duplicate postings about certain not present yet features.

[Dx4win] QSO time freeze?
In an older version of DX4WIN, when you cursored thru the Time field, it froze it so that if you kept the QSO up on the screen, the time was recorded as the beginning of the QSO.

[Dx4win] Suspending voice announcements temporarily for a specific spot?

Re: [Dx4win] Suspending voice announcements temporarily for a specific spot?
I'm familiar with the filter by region commands. I don't want to filter out zone 5 as the spots are often useful. What I'd like to see is a temporary suspend for individual calls that are spotted over and over. Barry W2UP On 10/24/2012 07:05, Duane Calvin wrote: Another approach is to set your notifications so that you don't receive spots originating from regions where you don't have propagation at the same time.

Then again, with the skimmers and worldwide clusters as they're currently configured, you might be better off just tuning and listening yourself!

Re: [Dx4win] CW Announcements
I replaced an XP laptop with a Win7 laptop recently (both Dell). I noticed that the CW audio from RUFZ and Morserunner is less loud now, even with headphones, and if I push the gain slider up too far, it gets distorted. On another note, I've always used voice announcements in DX4WIN for announcements, however, lately it seems to be more of an annoyance than help due to some guys feeling the need to announce when they don't hear someone, or thinking a DXpedition will stop what they're doing and QSY to a specific band/mode based on their DX spot/plea for it. A nice feature would be a way to limit repetitive voice and CW announcements for the same station.

I have confirmed 337 Current and 10 Deleted for a total of 347. After I added FJ to the database (but before working FJ), the count increased to 348 and the program had taken about 60 or 70 QSOs with the USA (K prefix) and reassigned the prefix to the Deleted country Netherlands New Guinea (JZO), which is not one of the 10 I have credit for. (So the Deleted credits had increased from 10 to 11). I manually revised the prefix from JZ0 back to K and the country count is now back to normal. I don't track US counties so can't provide any information on whether the US QSOs that were corrected changed re the state or county and I haven't done any comparisons with a BU prior to the FJ addition.

[Dx4win] Help LoTW import modes

I have 22 QSOs labeled as being in RTTY mode by DX4WIN. RTTY appears as the mode in the mode box and as the mode:n entry in the ADIF. However, in the comments box, there is an error about MODE=PTOR. I think this indicates an import error from when I imported an old log, and it was really a Pactor QSO that was changed to the RTTY mode during import. I guess I will have to manually change those 22 Qs to mode:6PACTOR - agree? Yes, but let the computer do the work for you. Generate an ADIF file with just those QSOs using a filtered search in DX4WIN. Then, open the file in Wordpad and do a Find and Replace to make the changes. 2. However, the TQSL signing process seems to be detecting the error entry as another mode error. I get a signing error about the PTOR mode being invalid - But that QSO's mode is listied as RTTY - PTOR only appears in the ERROR line of the ADIF generated by DX4WIN. I guess the solution is change the 22 entries to PACTOR mode manually and then also delete the error line. Anyone disagree with this plan? With any luck, that will be the end of the mode confusions and I will be uploading 14,539 WA9ALS Qs soon. If this seems to work, I will get the VP5RY log up soon too. Thanks! 73 - John, WA9ALS Delete the error line also with Find and Replace, just replacing with a blank. 73, Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club
[Dx4win] Filtering by date range?

[Dx4win] More LOTW info
I am in the process of using TQSL to convert the logs for upload for LOTW. TQSL also includes a date range filter, so you can exclude QSOs from before and after specified dates from the ADIF or Cabrillo file, if you didn't do it in your export from DX4WIN. Another note - warning of sorts: TQSL is VERY slow. My machine is a Dell P4 2.2 Ghz and it's converting at about 20 QSOs/second. The current selection I'm converting contains 82K QSOs, so it's going to be a while. If you have a big log and/or a slow computer, you may want to run it overnight. 73, Barry-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club

[Dx4win] Label printing query
Pete, I believe it will do what you want, though indirectly. AFter selecting Print, select Preview (rather than Printer) as Destination. It will show you exactly what will print and how many pages will print. 73, Barry W2UP On 27 Mar 2003 Pete Smith wrote: I print mass QSLs about once a year. One of the issues I face when approaching the task (I print using a custom label definition, directly on sheets of uncut QSLs, 4 to a page) is whether I have enough sheets pre-printed to handle the task. I reason, perhaps incorrectly, that if I do the whole thing in one flight and run out of sheets, I will be unable to mark as QSLed those I have actually printed, while cancelling the rest. Since it may take a few days to get more printed, I face the prospect of either having to leave DX4WIN paused at that point or starting over and figuring out manually where to restart. In the past, I have usually handled this by printing 25 sheets at a time, but it would surely be nice to have the software tell me not only how many QSOs it intends to print, but also how many labels will be required, given the current label definition. I believe BV does this -- could DX4WIN be taught to do it? 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated 23 Feb 03.

[Dx4win] CW keyboard question
Tnx for all the replies. No more necessary. What I wanted to do is use my (already wired) COM4 for CW keying, not the same port that controls my radio, and not an LPT port. I've had the current wiring from computer to radio in place for many years, and with all the SO2R stuff back there, I don't want to mess with it :.) If the next version of DX4WIN supports COM port selection, that would be a feature that would make me consider upgrading. Another thing I'd like to see is control of more than one radio. As of now, nothing in V5 compels me to want to upgrade, which is why I'm still using V4. 73, Barry, W2UP On 3 Dec 2002 William Liporace - NA2NA wrote: I have seen a lot of messages, but yes DX4WIN does support serial keying File | Preferences Radio Tab, CW Keyer and chose either DTR or RTS on radio port.

[Dx4win] Clock error
Pete, The way you can tell if it's software bogging down the system vs. hardware/battery is this: Just before turning off the computer for the night, update the clock. Next day, first thing when you turn it on, check the time. Is it accurate? If so, it's not the battery. There are multiple clocks in the computer. The main clock is hardware. The software clock accesses this info when you first turn the computer on. Windows (on the task bar) and most software then access one of the software clocks. One of my computers has this problem, where some software bogs down the clock and it can be off by minutes in a matter of hours. My solution was to use one of the Internet time setting programs (Tardis, etc.) and have it reset the clock every 15 minutes. If you are using WinXP, the Internet polling of the time signal is built in and I believe defaults to every 3 hours. There are ways to make this more frequent, though there's no setting within XP. You have to use an external program that changes a registry setting (no, I don't know what it is, offhand). 73, Barry W2UP On 25 Oct 2002 at 10:03, Pete Smith wrote: Help -- the computer I use for TRLog and DX4WIN(a 200 MMX Pentium) has started losing about 12 seconds an hour in its real-time clock -- for example, I set it this morning from the Internet, and when I can back 3 hours later it was 38 seconds slow. Is this indicative of battery problems? The computer has been on throughout. I also wonder if perhaps some software that is running on the system -- maybe in background -- could be responsible.

[Dx4win] Need networking clarification
Guys, Regarding the inability to get one computer to talk, I'm still confused. Each computer has a name (in my case number1 and number2) as identified in the Network ID tab. Also, each computer has a user logged on (in my case w2up-1 and w2up-2), which can be seen if you click Start, and just above the Shut Down cmd, is a Log Off user cmd. There is no prompt for a user id or password when each computer boots up. Both computers share files back and forth with no problem. The IP address of each is assinged dynamically by a router. Several of you are telling me there is a name mismatch. Which one? Computer name or user name? Please explain the fix step by step.
