[Dx4win] dx spots window

[ON5GM]

Hello everyone,
I have a small problem with dx4win. At the bottom I have the dx-spots
window. When I click on the sign, the window is gone, which is normal. But
after that I can't find it anywhere. No, it is not hidden behind other
windows. Previously with windows 7 I could find the closed window at the
bottom of the taskbar, but now with windows 10 not. I now have to close and
restart dx4win. Does it depend on the program or on windows 10?

Of course if you do that, you'll no longer be able to go click on a spot
and have your radio automatically tune to the frequency and correct mode of
the spot ( if you have your radio linked to your computer).

Go to your preferences, Packet 2 tab.  Look for a box called "DX
spotting patterns".  Remove (erase) this one:

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[Mike Parnin via DX4WIN]

I am running DX4WIN ver.9.0.4.1176. How can I prevent all the callsign spots 
from showing up in the DX spots window whenI a do a sh/dx  callsign in the 
packet window, where they also show up?
Also, can two BandMaps be seen at the same time?

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[Gary Strong]

I am using DX4WIN version 8.05 and use the dxspots window get info from
either a direct telnet link to a cluster or the VE7CC cluster / software
program.  

 

I like to see spots sorted by frequency, but when I do this and I scroll to
the top of the window to grab a spot, the curser immediately goes down to
the bottom of the window showing 10 meter spots.  Is there any way to limit
the spots shown to just one band, or if not how can I use the window sorted
by frequency without it jumping down to the bottom each time.

 

While I can easily do this in the VE7CC program, it won't change the radio
frequency by double clicking on the spot.

Press the INSERT key while focus is on the DX Spots window. This will
stop things from moving around.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[Mel]

No, it's the 25 spots that refreshes. You can make any line auto refresh 
by appending  a | and the number of minutes.

However, you should *NOT* auto refresh large numbers of spots as this 
would be an inconsiderate waste of the spot server's bandwidth.

If you want history, initially download 1000 spots then switch to the 25 
spot feed.

Frankly, unless you are behind a firewall, you should use the telnet 
clusters not the web server.

The 25 Spot is refreshing as expected.

Why should I use a telnet cluster instead of the server?

Which cluster do you (or others) recommend?   The K1TTT cluster seems to
have much less activity on it than DX Summitt.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

The spots that you get from a cluster come in as a steady stream, in 
essentially real-time. Most, if not all, cluster systems on the Internet 
are interconnected so the old concept of connecting to one close to you 
to pick up locally spotted DX doesn't apply. Some clusters do have 
filtering on them so that they only display spots from a particular 
country, though I don't think that the one on K1TTT does that.

I'd turn your question around and ask why you'd want to use a web-based 
one with only periodic refreshes? The one possible reason would be if 
you were behind a firewall that blocked access on the ports required for 
use by the cluster nodes themselves. While I don't normally use the 
K1TTT node I do use it as a backup for when my primary one goes down. 
I've never found that it's missing spots so I'm not sure why you are 
having issues.

I had initially suggested that you use the K1TTT node because I use that 
myself (occasionally, as noted) and I know that it's well connected with 
a steady feed, but you might want to pick another one and see if that 
seems to work better for you. I'd just pick one off the list that seems 
to be close to you. As I mentioned, most these days are very 
interconnected and you should have no trouble receiving spots.

On the other hand, if you're happy with the spots from DX Summit then I 
can't really think of any reason to change.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[Jim Worthington]

One disadvantage of using DX Summit with for DX4WIN spots is that frequency is 
only accurate to the kHz. A spot that shows up on 14200.4 on a browser will 
display as 14200.0 in the DX4WIN spot window.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[Mel]

You might consider using something other than K1TTT. It's an extremely 
busy cluster, best to spread the activity around. Using telnet you will 
receive each spot exactly once. With a Web server, you are receiving 
them in fixed batches. If activity is low, you will receive spots 
multiple times. If it gets busy... more than 25 per minute, you may miss 
some. I would turn the question around... I would is ask is why use HTTP 
(DXSummit)? It's a sub-optimum solution. The only reason I can think of 
is if you are behind a firewall such as at work where telnet access is 
restricted... but I wouldn't think that is the case for most of us. Who 
gets to operate at work? ;-)

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window

Hi --

How does one get the window to refresh in real - time ?

In the packet window,  I select the internet connection I want,  and the
spot that shows up are all 9 minutes old.

Checking DX Summit,  there are a lot of spots that are more recent than 9
minutes.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

Assuming that you're seeing spots coming into the packet window (if not, 
then the problem is with the cluster you're connecting to), you need to 
make sure that the DX Spots window is sorting by arrival time. In that 
window, right-click and select Sort then click on Arrival. (You can also 
look at the window title, it should say something like DX spots [DXCC] 
sorted by Arrival.

Also, make sure that you haven't accidentally held the window, it'll say 
(HOLDING) if it is. If it says that, press the Insert button on your 
keyboard when you've got the window in focus.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

Keep-alive is only an issue if the cluster you connect to requires it. 
Basically, some clusters will disconnect you if they don't see anything 
from your system within a certain amount of time. If that's the case, 
you'll need to have a keep-alive set, but you'd still see spots coming 
in for the first few minutes until the time-out kicked in.

Which cluster are you connecting to, and do you see spots coming into 
the packet window?

You might want to try something like the K1TTT-1 cluster which is tied 
to a skimmer, meaning that you'll get a pretty much constant flow of 
spots, especially now with the WAE CW contest in progress.

 Excuse part of that post;  the 9 is the priority;  I got confused.

 It's still not updating though.   I've let it sit for about 30 minutes and
 there are no changes to the spot window.Isn't there a keep alive
 issue?   I searched the help index for keep alive etc but didn't find
 anything.

Excuse part of that post;  the 9 is the priority;  I got confused.

It's still not updating though.   I've let it sit for about 30 minutes and
there are no changes to the spot window.Isn't there a keep alive

 How does one get the window to refresh in real - time ?

 In the packet window,  I select the internet connection I want,  and 
 the spot that shows up are all 9 minutes old.

 Checking DX Summit,  there are a lot of spots that are more recent

Just came back from watching a DVD;   the entries in my DX Spots had a
Time value between 99 and 116 minutes;  nothing sooner.

I was using DX Summit.

I'll try K1TTT and let you know.

DX Summit will not refresh in DX4WIN,  but it refreshes if I am parked on
the web site.

Been using DX Summit for years,  and it works fine for me,  but (for me) it
will not update in DX4WIN.

K1TTT (non skimmer setting) updates,  but looking at the DX4WIN site,  it's
missing a lot of stations.

How do you have your DX4WIN configured so that DX Summit updates?

 DX Summit is supposed to refresh every minute, at least the latest 100

It just works out of the box, always has.

Do you have the latest DX4WIN.TCP file?

Which of the three DX Summit entries did you select?  I believe only
the first one auto-updates (100 spots).

Hello!

I have the same problem with lost spots from internet.

Just found that I don?t have any dxwin.put file. Simply copied the file from
6.01 to my 6.02 catalog and it works.

You will note that the DX4WIN.PUT file comes and goes.  It is only
there when there are spots in the DX spot window.  If you exit DX4Win
without clearing the spots the .PUT file remains with spots.  If you
clear the spots and don't exit DX4Win the .PUT file remains.  If you
clear the spots and then exit DX4Win the file is renamed to
DX4WIN.~UP, thereby effectively deleting it.  You can delete the ~UT
file and the .PUT file will be recreated the next time a spot is
placed in the DX spot window.  At least that's the way it works here. 
BTW, I use the DX-Telnet interface.

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Mel, I may not have been clear about this last night.

Backup DX Spots is supposed to use the backup timer to write the unsaved
spots to disk at regular intervals.  Just like it does for the open log.  I
asked for this a while back, so that a DX4WIN crash would not delete all the
spots that were only live in memory.  You would only lose any unsaved spots
since the last backup interval.

However, it seems that Paul may have broken something in the latest versions,
which cause the spots to NOT be saved to disk when you exit the program, and
Backup DX Spots is not enabled.

I have it licenced at the office and it DOESNT save the spots...  it

 I installed DX4WIN in Demo mode at the office.

 With Backup DX Spots unchecked, the spots are NOT saved.  The
installation
 includes a default packet spot file from Paul, it reverts to the original
list
 of spots when I exit DX4WIN and start again.

 I do not understand at home why it appears that my spots are kept.  I had
 turned Backup DX Spots off because I didn't want the PC writing to my
backup
 ZIP drive every 2 minutes with the last saved spots.

 It seems like there may be a bug here.  The spots need to be saved when
you
 exit DX4WIN, regardless of whether Backup DX Spots is checked or not.
This
 is certainly the way 5.03 used to work.

 I will check a little more at home this weekend to see exactly what's
happening
 in the shack.  If I've made anyone crazy, I apologize.  I'll stick to
callsign
 to country mappings in the future!  :-)

It appears that every time a spot is received the backup runs.  Or, at

 It almost seems that DX4Win is not saving your spot file on closing DX4Win.
 Ted... Did you check and see if when the backup box is checked that spots
 arriving between the last backup interval and closing DX4Win are saved?

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window

Hello,
last Feb. 15 I posted the following message:

 Another observation is that all spots from internet are lost after 
 exit from DX4WIN. When I use my normal set-up to the local 
 DC-cluster via 144 MHz spots remain.
 
 Now the two cases are identical i.e. spots are lost when opening 
 DX4WIN again, v 6.02. I have the impression that it was ok in the 
 beginning, there are spots saved from from Feb. 9 and 10. This has 
 nothing to do with checking 'Leave all windows in original position' 
 in Preferences/Screen.
 
 I think it is of value to save earlier spots in this window to check 
 where a station has been operating etc.
 
 Paul, please put it back in the next version, it works ok in v 5.03.

Now, I got the idea to reinstall 6.02 and found that it didn't help. 
In DX4WIN.put there are a bunch of spots from start and they remain 
but all spots added, coming from internet or local 144 MHz link, are 
gone after restarting DX4WIN.

Check that the DX4WIN.put file isn't set read only (right click it in 
explorer and check the attributes, or use the 'ATTRIB DX4WIN.PUT' 
command in a DOS window.
If it's read-only, DX4WIN can't update it.

Hello everybody,
in an earlier post I said the following:

Another observation is that all spots from internet are lost after exit 
from DX4WIN. When I use my normal set-up to the local DC-cluster via 144 
MHz spots remain.

Now the two cases are identical i.e. spots are lost when opening DX4WIN 
again, v 6.02. I have the impression that it was ok in the beginning, there 
are spots saved from from Feb. 9 and 10. This has nothing to do with 
checking 'Leave all windows in original position'  in Preferences/Screen.

I think it is of value to save earlier spots in this window to check where 
a station has been operating etc.

Paul, please put it back in the next version, it works ok in v 5.03.

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window Question

[Mark]

Does anyone know the significance and meaning of the first column in the DX 
Spots Window?  The title of the column is P and a single digit number 
appears for each entry received from the packet cluster.

Tnx  73,

Mark, K6FG

That is a priority listing for the spot...based on your setup.

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window Question

Mark,

it indicates the priority of the spot.
I had a fair number of requests to do this for folks who have difficulties 
distinguishing the colors
(the so called 'color challenged users')

[Dx4win] DX Spots Window Question Answered

[Mark]

Thank you all for the answer to my question.  Apparently the number in the 
P column signifies the priority of the spot for those of us who have 
problems in distinguishing the colors.
