Re: [Dx4win] DX Spotting Window
Bud, When you say pressing INS doesn't do anything, does it not stop the display or does it not even display (HOLDING) at the top of the DX stop window? While sorting by priority (as others have suggested), I use hold myself all the time and know it can be frustrating. Couple of things come to mind: First, if you've got more than one Insert key on your keyboard, try the other one (if you haven't done so already). Try pressing the NumLock key and see if Insert works. Actually, you could probably see if it's the Insert key itself by going into anything where you can edit text on your computer and see if the Ins key is functioning properly at all. You could try to unplug/replug the keyboard, or, when all else fails, try rebooting your computer (if you haven't done those thing yet either.)

Thanks to all who replied. The INS key on the NumLock pad did not work. However, the INSERT key in a separate key group on the keyboard did work. Paul F6EXV and Ian G4IIY both said to sort by priority. That was the main help. It eliminated having to scroll thru the DX Spotting window. It put what I was looking for at the bottom of the window. 73, Bud W3LL __ 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] DX Spotting Window
Have you tried the various options within the 'Sort' menu (by right clicking on the DX Spot window)? You could sort by priority so that any blue/red... spots are shown at the top of the Window, or (as I do) Sort by frequency, which makes it easier to see them on each band. Or you could deselect any Black/Grey spots altogether within the Packet 1 options under Preferences. 73, Ian G4IIY -Original Message- From: DX4WIN [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bud Governale Sent: 19 October 2014 21:15 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] DX Spotting Window How to freeze the DX Spotting window?

Holding allows you to scroll back and forth a window at a time. Without INS, if a new spot came in, DX4WIN would return to the newest spots. It does NOT keep new spots from coming in or causing the window to scroll a line at a time for incoming spots. All it does it keep the window from scrolling all the way forward if you have gone back a few screens, and a new spot comes in. This is obviously much harder to deal with during a contest. Sorting by TIME instead of by ARRIVAL helps, because new spots take the place of old spots. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ 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] DX Spotting Window
Bud replied to me (but not the full list) and said that there are 2 INS keys on his keyboard. One didn't work, the other did. Could be a num-lock think, but in any case it's working fine for him now.

[Dx4win] DX Spotting Window
Hi, Is there anyway to stop the DX window from updating by overwriting itself, as the same called out spot come in??? I would like to see ALL the spots on the DX screen, with all the comments like the RTTY window lists them as the spots come in. This would let me have one color screen to focus on, and follow the DX, splits, patterns ect. Thanks. Bernie/WO2N. It was making me nuts seeing a spot come in, then its gone!

Charlie, In the DX spotting window press F1 (for help) The second paragraph starts: 'The spots are color coded to reflect their priority' . Click on the underlined (this is a hotlink) and you will get to the help you are looking for. Searching for the keyword color will also get you there.
