Hi Jim, If you have your rotator controlled by dx4win its easy to setup. Under rotator you have the tab Parameters where you can setup for each band An offset and also a correction for the selected band. Guy ON4AOI -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net

As a former naval navigator, I have been following this discussion with interest. I agree with Jim that it makes most sense to use true north. The magnetic pole shifts each year, and the amount of shift is indicated on nautical charts as the Variation. Each bearing taken with a magnetic

[Dx4win] 3 DIGIT SSB

2009-10-18 Thread k4pi
I agree with the post by Vigis LY2CX about the problem with the 3 digit RST SSB option. Could there possibly be a selection to allow setting SSB for 2 or 3 digit in Preferences? I enter a lot of Q's from paper and it is a breeze with CW QSO's but a snag on SSB. While I am on my soapbox I

While I am on my soapbox I may as well mention the thorn in my side in having to go through all the bands I don't use to get to the one I need. 7 steps to get to 160 M. Using the mouse to slide to it is a distraction. If a 2 nd digit could be recognized then it would only take 2 steps. ie 16 to

That's what it does in V7 as well, at least for me. That's what it's supposed to do if you have MMTTY enabled. __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post:

I LIKE having the MTTY window open. Then, if a target of opportunity presents on RTTY, it is that much faster to engage. Garry, NI6T Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 10:41 AM, Paul B. Peters ve...@shaw.ca wrote: Each time I start v8.02, the RTTY Control Panel opens with

[Dx4win] RTTY control panel opens each time I start v8.02 - solved

I think I have solved the mystery -- and must admit I feel somewhat embarrassed about the solution. In a previous configuration, I must have opened the MMTTY window and at that time the monitors were one above the other. In the current configuration, the monitors are side-by-side. I reset the
