Re: [Dx4win] ARRL LoTW: tQSL Software 1.14 Ready for Beta Testing
Cesar,
In full agreement with your suggestion - have used DX4WIN for many years (37
years of logs with every contact included in my DX4WIN), but it needs
dramatic updating/enhancement (my opinion).

TQSL version 1.14 working flawless here. I wish DX4WIN integrates TQSL

Subject: [ARRL-LOTW] Trusted QSL version 1.14 is available for beta
testing
Over the past 4 months, Rick K1MU, Robert KC2YWE, and I have rebooted the
Trusted QSL project from which the TQSL and TQSLCert
applications and the TrustedQSL library are built. After considering input
from
ARRL Management, from the ARRL?s LotW Support Group,
and from this ARRL-LotW Yahoo Group, we established a set of priorities
that
would be addressed by a sequence of incremental
releases. The first release in this sequence is version 1.14, in which
1. Log files can be signed and uploaded over the internet to LotW in
one operation.
2. Errors in Station Locations are reported (e.g. incorrect CQ and ITU
zones).
3. QSOs that need not be re-submitted ('duplicates') are brought to
the user's attention.
4. Error reporting has been improved.
5. Installation on Windows has been improved.
6. Users are notified when a new version becomes available.
7. Documentation has been improved.
A small group of testers began exercising version 1.14 on March 10th;
this testing exposed several defects, all of which have been
corrected. We are now ready to begin the next stage of testing: every
member of this Yahoo Group is invited to download version 1.14,
install it, and give it a try. Questions, defect reports, and
suggestions should be posted here.
The current release candidate v1.14-rc5 is available via
http://www.arrl.org/trustedqsl-beta-release
You can review the documentation for v1.14-rc5 before you download and
install it:

Re: [Dx4win] [Elecraft_K3] K3 and DX4WIN
Randy, I fully realize what I am about to tell you does not make sense BUT the fact is the rig file X5 you sent me seems to have mysteriously corrected the Windows 7 operating system's difficulty in maintaining the radio connection. Prior to installing your file, I lost communication with radio / DX4WIN multiple times daily - it not longer has this difficulty. Yes. Perhaps I made an unknown Power modification to the software, but if so, do not know if/what I changed. Bottom line - all seems to be working as desired at this time.

Most of the USB converters seem to have trouble throttling back to lower data rates. If you'd like to try it, I've attached the modified rig file. Just copy it to the Radios directory and select it in the Preferences.

[Dx4win] Have you ever
Experienced this? Received a number of qsl cards today with one for a contact CE2/CX1EK on 03-10-2011 @ 23:06 GMT on 12 meters via CW. Placed a checkmark in the Cnfm box and moved on the next entry - the confirmed contact does not show up in my Country window nor my reports for DXCC. The other cards received and posted are just as they should be. I have the card and know I posted it and yet 12 meters CW shows nothing - no w, no m and worse no C. Ideas on what to check would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone with an idea. - Tony, N3ME - 118 Ashwood Street Bethany Beach, DE 19930-9699 (302) 539-5638 Grid: FM28lm http://www.n3me.net http://www.n3me.net Elecraft K3 # 2462 __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] 2011 Radio Amateur Call book DX4WIN
Alan, Although when I press (F3 followed by ENTER) my v.8.05 does look up qrz.com information, it never inserts any information in the DX4WIN Callsign/Mgr lookup window. In the same window, the text Update QSO is always grayed out whether US or DX station. Perhaps you can advise what I may be doing incorrectly or NOT doing as the case may be. Question regarding your statement, Note: Be sure the AUTO UPDATE tab is clicked when using F3 so that when you log or check another call the address will follow to the new call. Where is this tab located? I do not seem to find it.

I click on File | Save Changes and Exit. When I complete this routine, my radio is Off and if I open File | Preferences | Radio the type of radio is blank so I have no radio control.

Re: [Dx4win] A strange thing
Tibor, I tried the two virtual port software products suggested to you and neither worked for me. I then downloaded LP-Bridge from www.telepostinc.com (freeware) and it works beautifully with my radio (K3) on COM1 and mmtty, winpsk, and cwdecoder all operating on virtual ports, which direct data through the same COM1 port used by DX4Win. I am sending Larry, the author, a donation as his product is terrific (my opinion). I just learned of his product this week and tried the oldest version first, then the newer version and finally downloaded and installed the current beta product, which is working well and loads in my computer startup file. To have multiple software products share one hardware COM port and to work as expected is wonderful. I was frustrated and did not wish to spend a hundred or more dollars for a hardware interface.

Connection Is made with a serial/USB converter @ 57600 PC is an AMD Athlon @ 1 GHz, 640 RAM and Win XP sp3 Of course if I try to connect DX4WIN to my radio, PC says that the com is busy. If I connect DX4WIN without running Ham Radio Deluxe, all is ok, band map is ok, no problem. Yesterday in a forum someone talked to me about Virtual Serial Ports Emulator freeware software (VSPE). I immediately installed the software and after some minutes I was able to create a virtual com where to address Dx4WIN AND HRD. Fantastic: when I receive a spot I click on that, it change me the setting of the radio, HRD show all the new parameters and in the Dx4WIN I get the call in the right place. All works ok.BUT: Looking at the band map, it flickers: the vertical, qrg line moves from left to right and than again right to left. The frequency showed on the top of band map start from the right one and step by step goes down..down..down to zero.without moving the real QRG on the radio. On the QSO input window, the same happen in the frequency display. But even the mode and the band are changing step by step without sense. I tried to set the radio on 18140 SSB, on the band map the frequency starts to move down. In the QSO window problem is that the mode changes to CW, and so on and even the qrg moves. If I log the qso dx4win doesn't get the real data but what is displaying at that time. I have tried to reduce the com speed down to 9600 but nothing has changed. So I returned to my old setting.but there is any way to fix the problem? HRD + DX4WIN are just the best of the two worlds and being able to run them connected to the radio is certainly fantastic.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.MAS2
John, Place the downloaded master file list into your DX4WIN folder. Load DX4win and click on Window then Master Calls. Right click on the Master Lookup window and select Convert. The Open window will display your DX4win folder. Select the file MASTER.DTA by double clicking on it and DX4win will open the file, convert it for use with DX4win and display another window, Information, which will indicate Conversion finished 44927 Calls. The first time you enter a Callsign you will see the MasterLookup window display a list of similar callsigns.

Re: [Dx4win] PSK31 Won't Key K3
Bud, If someone helps your or you finally master the problem, please share as I am experiencing the same and cannot figure it out. I have tried to suggested software, which supposedly supports multiple software programs all using the same COM port with no success thus far. Previously, (Kenwood 570D) I used a Rigblaster pro and that allowed everything to work with a single COM port (CW, PSK, SSB and RTTY). Thus far I am making slow progress with K3 (wonderful radio). - Tony , N3ME - -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bud Governale, W3LL Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2009 16:55 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] PSK31 Won't Key K3 1.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW, DX4WIN and contest logs
Tom could not have expressed my exact sentiments any better. I have DX4Win for many years and after each contest I merge my contest log into DX4Win thus having every contact I have ever made in a single, easy to access log. Prior to using DX4Win I wrote a logging program first in dBase II on a CPM O/S and later in dBase III (I think) and finally in dBase IV so my own log program worked for a number of years. Finally, someone wrote a far better program and I purchased and upgraded it ever since. At this time, I use N1MM for all contest activity - a great gift to amateur radio. In a few minutes time, after the contest, my N1MM export is imported into DX4Win. Try it you will most likely really be glad you did. - Tony - N3ME Tony McClenny 118 Ashwood Street Bethany Beach, DE 19930-9699 (302) 539-5638 www.n3me.net -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Larry Gauthier (K8UT) Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 20:22 To: Mel Martin; dx4WIN Subject: Re: [Dx4win] LOTW, DX4WIN and contest logs Tom, I agree wholeheartedly with Mel. I use DX4Win as my core logging program, and N1MM as my contesting software. After every contest I export/import into DX4Win using the nice ADIF2DXQ.exe utility from AD1C. Disk space is cheap. DX4Win can handle your QSO counts. Bring the contest records into DX4Win and let it be your core logging program and your ONLY point of origin for QSL'ing -- including uploads into LoTW. EDITORIAL: LoTW, despite its name, is NOT a logging program and could best be described as eHarmony.com for QSOs, with ARRL Award credits. LoTW permits duplicate uploaded QSO records and there is no mechanism (nor plan) to offer a delete QSO function. I think each DXer needs a single composite view of their QSO counts, totals, awards, and QSL status. If you maintain two sources of QSO knowledge, and/or start QSLing from two applications (N1MM and DX4Win) you run the risk of eventually duplicating records on LoTW... which means your total LoTW QSO upload count will never reconcile with your local QSO count(s). As an ex-IT database guy, that scenario makes my head hurt. -larry K8UT - Original Message - From: Mel Martin ve...@videotron.ca To: dx4WIN dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 14:25 Subject: Re: [Dx4win] LOTW, DX4WIN and contest logs Hi Tom. I just can't think of any good reason not to import all your contacts into DX4Win. I would seem to me to be a lot easier to keep track/backup of one large log instead of dozens of small ones. I use Writelog. After the contest I import everything and delete all contest logs after a few months have elapsed. Tom Brown wrote: Soliciting opinions on this. I keep my everyday log in DX4WIN but also operate contests from time to time using N1MM logger. I'm pretty high with most award counts so it's rare that I work a new one during a contest, although a band credit here or there is possible. I do not import my contest logs into DX4WIN because I don't feel the need to bring in so many unneeded records. Lately, I've been thinking about uploading my contest logs to LOTW and then picking up only LOTW confirmations from the contest and importing them into my log when I do my normal DX4WIN LOTW up and down.
