Re: [Dx4win] Fwd: Re: Updates on a more positive note!
With due respect to all little change is going to occur which I am sorry to say. We have FINALLY heard from Paul and aware of the direction DX4WIN is taking. Well boys I have supported Paul and DX4WIN speaking to others informing them what a great dx logging program it is and quite frankly I cannot do that any longer especially after what Paul had to say today. Therefore I downloaded and installed LOGGER 32 and like all new programs there is quite a learning curve but I will be much further ahead in another month than I will be with DX4WIN five years from now. Have been loyal to DX4WIN but it's over. Some will be happy there will no longer see any more posts from n4dsp! LOL. Hate to see such a great dx logging program coming to it's end and it's troublesome. Made the ARRL Honor Roll with this program from my first contact to #334. Paul,SELL THE COMPANY.

Although it is unlikely he would have every rig produced, it should be noted that I, for one, attempted to develop a rig file for the FT3000...sent many messages to him for assistance...and never heard back. I had a Yaesu 'demo' FT3000 shipped to me and it sat here for months awaiting assistance and nothing...this was a while after his personal moveyes, the rig files are rather basic but how DX4WIN handles these files are hard coded and cannot be user defined or changed.

LOTW isn't going away...or GlobalQsl...or EQSLincorporating easy interface to these systems seeming would be a selling point for DX4WIN. Without them, DX4WIN is severely lacking. 4. As in number 3, QRZ.Com is here to stay...and most of your users access it routinely. Paul, this isn't an attack on you...and regrettably there has been some severe tone between a few users...hopefully, we can get back on a more positive, productive track. However, this thread is an indication of the frustration of your loyal, paid users. We want DX4WIN to succeed but there needs to be some indication that DX4WIN is alive and well...and will be supported and improved. Yes... we could all move to a different platform ...we have a number of other choices...but we have been sticking with DX4WIN but without finite information from you, Paul, we've been in an informational vacuum. Paul, incorporating user input and enhancing DX4WIN appears to be a win/win situation.

I agree Kostas. After 4 years we NOW know , thanks to Paul, there will be NO LOTW Updates to DX4WIN and additional rig files. Would like to make a positive suggestion for Paul while he is still "listening"On the DX4WIN Home Page provide a Link that allows user's to see what is up and coming and NOT up and coming for future versions of the program if there are going to be any future versions.

Art, Bob, and Zoran, what was originally an excellent post addressing the need to end the 4 year lapse in updates to the excellent but stagnated DX4WIN program has been thrown off course by you three. Another thread has appeared by Hams that are in favor and discussing in a civil manner the need for updates for DX4WIN. It's positive.

Re: [Dx4win] Updates
Paul should put a link on the DX4WIN website for owner's to contribute their idea's to the "Wish List". I sent an email to Paul 2-3 weeks ago with a suggestion and did not receive a response so I resorted to the DX4WIN Reflector to BE HEARD. Requesting some attention from the owner's of DX4WIN, the people who support the Owner, asking for continuing improvements is not bad mouthing just to clarify. On 1/5/2014 12:26 PM, Tod wrote: I think that some of the postings with the subject "Updates" should really be posted with the subject " "Additional features I wish were present". 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. One of 'The Laws of Life" is: "Nothing is impossible as long as you are not the one who has to do the work."

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW and DX4WIN
And for you Bob, K8BL: It has been some time since the last release. Been a DX4WIN user for Ten Years or more. Are there going to be further versions or has DX4WIN been put on the shelf? Is the architecture or platform so old that it's too difficult to continue? Should we continue to patiently wait or learning another logging program which has more to offer. For starters the steps one has to take to upload a log to LOTW is many and confusing. This is well known. I downloaded and installed DXLAB. With two mouse clicks my log is uploaded to LOTW. It's amazing. Why can we not have the same with DX4WIN? DX4WIN is still my logging program. If time constraints are the problem for DX4WIN updates perhaps it's time to sell the company and allow someone to further develop this great classic dx logging program. john/n4dsp On 1/5/2014 12:23 AM, R.T.Liddy wrote: Constructive criticism is good, snarky comments are not helpful.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW and DX4WIN
Why is it and it's not just with this reflector when post's come out like mine expressing dissatisfaction with DX4WIN and expecting and willing to pay for revisions, the DX4WIN Addicts come out stating exactly what Erkki stated? I choose DX4WIN years ago because it was progressive and on the move unlike the contemporary logging programs at that time and in the past 4 years it has gone into exile. Erkki if you like and enjoy the updates from Jim AD1C great. Your a happy camper. I like DX4WIN also but I want my logging program to continue to be one of the best and up to the times. If we use your approach Erkki in regards to computer OS we would all be running Windows 3.5 or even DOS in today's world. You stating you have to express a different view? Well that "different view" is occuring now for the past 4 years. Nothing. Nothing while we wait patiently for change. Not everyone is content with the status quo. Some of the DX4WIN user's I know have moved onto DXLAB because of the status quo and have not looked back. Don't see any change coming from Paul. Only country, node, and other file updates. Thank God for Jim because if not for his dedication this DX4WIN would have gone the way of the dinosaur by now. Once again if Paul doesn't want to do some revisions then sell the company to someone who would love to. Regards, john/n4dsp john.

It takes some manual reading... There seems to be wishes to connect the DX cluster with one click. I don't have problem to click three times. LoTW is also easy - a few clicks and no problems ever. If there are no more updates to the program, I will probably be using this version the rest of my life. Of course your needs might be different.

DX4WIN is always up and running and connected to the local packet cluster.

[Dx4win] Elecraft K3 Radio Interface problem.
Less than a week ago I downloaded version 8.04 and installed the license. Excellent service by Paul. Once I placed the order on sunday I had the key within 2 hours! My interface cable is the Elecraft KUSB to Serial with FTDI chipset. Downloaded and installed the cdm driver. There are a couple of issues with it. The main one is the radio and computer will communicate but after 30 minutes of non activity an error message will display stating "Radio timed out. Radio Interface has been disabled." I click on the OK Button and the Error Message window does not close and manually cannot enter any data in the qso window or any window while this window stays open. In order for the window to disappear and the radio interface to work properly again the USB cable has to be disconnected from the front computer port and reconnected. This occurs half dozen or more times per day. Radio Setup Parameters are: Type Elecraft K3 Baud 4800 Com Port Com3 Poll Rate300 Max tries6 DTR Unchecked RTS Unchecked The K3 baud rate in the menu is set for 4800. Any suggestions? tnx john __ 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

I think that means you have no F8 filter active. I guess instead of using a group selection by date, you could have used an F8 filter starting with 1 July 2006. Then you would not have received the warning. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 18 15:10:07 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (n4dsp) Date: Wed Jul 18 15:18:19 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] Printing Selected Group of Labels Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have Dx4win User Guide Version 6.03 and on page 73 at the top of the page is titled "Printing a Selected Group of Labels."

Paul, I no longer have the email you forwarded to me since it was 3 years ago. I asked you if something could be incorporated into the dx4win program that when a node drops the connection the dx4win program will sense that and will automatically try and connect you once again to that node. I did not mean in my email to you to have a "keep alive" function on the node and I was clear about that. This was putting the burden on the owner of the node. So can something be incorporated into the dx4win program to automatically sense that the node connection has terminated and the dx4win program to automatically connect back to that node? john-n4dsp - Original Message - From: "Paul van der Eijk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "n4dsp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "dx4win" Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 10:23 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] (no subject) > John, > > You are misinterpreting what was said.

[Dx4win] Re: Orion radio NO SUPPORT
For your info Guy, I spoke to Steve Bookout when this problem originally surfaced and was advised to update from 6.04 to 7.02 which I did and happily paid the $25.00. This update did not solve the problem. Now another update is needed to fix my problem. So like others I will have to wait almost 10 months and I also have to work especially at the end of the year so I can pay for another update to fix what is broken. By the way Guy, Merry Christmas and be careful not to buy any toys which do not work correctly. 73 john-n4dsp > Some people need to work also !!! > And certainly @ the end of the year. > > 73 Guy ON4AOI

Just got back this evening from 9 days in Las Vegas. The problem has not been resolved. Paul finally emailed me about 3 weeks ago and said he was aware of the problem stating there is a bug in the dx4win program which would be fixed with the next version. I emailed Paul asking if he could send me a beta version since I do not want to wait till dayton to have this fix and have not heard from Paul since.

[Dx4win] Where is the Tech Support?
Marc, so you are saying this is normal? Like you I never had this issue with my Kenwood TS-930SAT or my Yaesu Mark V. My two month old Orion II is doing this and one other person beside myself that I know of is having this band mode change in the qso window. hmm. After using dx4win for 5 years and suddenly this start to happen with the Orion II caused the red flags to wave. If I am using a cw interface and running dx4win with the function keys and using the cw/rtty special keys option and making 4 qsos per minute and a spot comes over the packet cluster the program will sputter and it really slows me down due to this and then the incorrect band and mode data in the qso window. That should not happen and it is either a problem with dx4win or it is the Orion and no one wants to take responsibility for it! 73 Marc john-n4dsp - Original Message - From: "Marc Wullaert ON4MA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DX4WIN List" Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Where is the Tech Support? > Howdy Guy's > > This is how dx4win works. > When you are real time logging and from the moment > you hit f9 with radio on .When a spot is coming it changed a few seconds > to > that spot > mode and band while checking your log to see you need it or not !Nothing > happens > with the radio and after 2 seconds (probely longer or shorter with a > slower/faster pc) the radio freq and mode is > displayed.Now it is coming >>From the moment you type in the callsignfield , the spots who flow in >>are > not changing the radio > freq and mode in the log window because you are in real mode logging.From > the moment you log a > station (ENTER) it all start over. > > What I see with my orion's there is some delay.Respons is delayed probely > some data is lost from te radio(polling) > I never had this with my ft1000mp's ;-)) > > Marc ON4MA > > > - Original Message - > From: "n4dsp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "KR4DA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; > Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 6:30 PM > Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Where is the Tech Support? > > >> Bob, >> with the radio OFF and the dx4win packet cluster running, the spots band > and >> mode will show up in the band and mode in the QSO Window and will stay > there >> until another new spot.

Seems that this very problem has been addressed a year and a half ago. Searching the archives I found in June 2005 persons having this very problem. Though version 7.02 says the bug was fixed it is obvious it was not.

Thanks for the email Scott, The radio is turned on and in the qso window the band and mode are grey indicating it is reading the band and mode from the radio; However, when a spot from the packet cluster comes across the band and mode in the qso window will change to that spot for 5 seconds or longer and then it will revert BACK to the band and mode the radio is on. This happens on every spot from the packet cluster. Also when the band and mode in the qso window changes due to the spot from the packet cluster they still remain grey.

Bob, with the radio OFF and the dx4win packet cluster running, the spots band and mode will show up in the band and mode in the QSO Window and will stay there until another new spot. That is normal and that is not the problem. When I turn the radio ON and hit F9 for real time, whatever band and mode the radio shows that is what the band and mode will show in the QSO windows band and mode; HOWEVER, when a spot arrives from the packet cluster the band and mode in the qso window will change to that spots band and mode. My radio's band and mode does not change to the spots band and mode. Does that help? Anyone out there have this problem running dx4win and the Orion II?

[Dx4win] Where is the Tech Support?
I have had a problem with dx4win for three weeks. Emails have been sent to Paul with no acknowledgement of received emails. Why is this? My program is not working correctly and I have tried to keep this out of the public eye but three weeks? Where is the Tech Support? Bands and Modes are being incorrectly logged with version 7.02. I am finding these errors in my logbook. This has been passed onto Paul but still no comment. Has his email address changed? Is he out of the country? Where in the world is Paul Evander. Help Paul! At least say HI. This problem cannot be addressed on this reflector. There is a glitch in the program itself. john-n4dsp -- "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --General George S.

[Dx4win] Incorrect data in qso window
While logging in real time using version 7.02 with the packet cluster running the band and mode of the spots is somehow crossing over and changing the band and mode in the qso window. After a second or two it reverts back to the band and mode the radio is parked on. This should not happen when dx4win is being run in Real Time. Consequently this will lead to logging errors. Anyone have any ideas what may be causing this "crossover"? This happens on every spot which crosses the cluster. 73 john-n4dsp -- "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --General George S.

[Dx4win] Orion II with dx4win
Made a second call to Ten-Tec and they feel it is not a problem with the radio but with the logging program. Whenever I tab from different portions of the qso window entering the logging data such as callsign, rst, etc there is hesitation and many times this lag effect will last for a couple of seconds. Many times I will be typing the callsign of the station and nothing appears and it will seem to be locked up then everything will appear. Ten-Tec asks does the DX4WIN logging program have the Orion II as a specific radio in the preferences /radio tab and the answer is no and they say that is the problem. The tab only says Orion and data is for the 565 not the Orion 566. I spoke to Paul Clinton, the service manager for Ten-Tec and he is going to review this scenario with his people but in the meantime has anyone else encountered this with their Orion II and DX4WIN? john-n4dsp -- "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --General George S.

It's not your radio! I never had this problem in DX4WIN, until I recently (within last couple of months) had to install Windows XP from scratch. Now I have the problem occasionally. My CPU usage is near 0%. I have an ICOM, not Orion radio. I'm using the microHAM microKeyer as my radio interface. I have McAfee AntiVirus running, but that's about it. As I said, the problem just developed recently. I wonder if one of Microsoft's recent updates cause it? 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 25 11:16:59 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (wo2n) Date: Wed Oct 25 11:23:33 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] CW Announce?
