[Dx4win] new Buckmaster Hamcall CD and DX4WIN 8.05 problem
I purchased a new Buckmaster Hamcall CD at Dayton and installed it on my computer. Apparently there has been a change to the hamcal32.dll file in the extdata folder as it would not work when a callsign was looked up in the callsign window. I was able to find a recent copy of the file on the Buckmaster cd disk in the folder \hamcall\API\WINDOWS and copied it to the extdata folder of DX4WIN. It appears to be working now. fyi 73 Jay Jay Hainline KA9CFD Colchester, IL EN40om __ 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
[Dx4win] New TQSL not ready for prime time
I think I'll be waiting a good long while before trying the new Trusted QSL: May 21, 2013: From the Trusted QSL software development team - We announced last week that TQSL 1.14 would be available today (20 May 2013). However, three defects were reported last week: a.. Incorrect behavior when the user specifies the wrong ITU zone b.. Incorrect behavior when TQSL is invoked via command line without the -l switch present c.. Incorrect behavior when processing an ADIF file containing duplicate QSOs when TQSL is running on MacOS These defects have been corrected, but we must test the corrected version before publicly releasing it. Expect the public release within the next 10 days. http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world 73, Joe W4WN __ 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] New TQSL not ready for prime time
Joseph, You're entitled to your opinion. However, to say it's Not ready for prime time is incorrect, particularly for DX4WIN users. The only serious problem found in 1.14 was for Mac users that are trying to upload duplicate QSOs to LoTW. None of the testers reported this problem prior to the final release. Please note that the major performance problems with LoTW several months ago were caused almost entirely by people uploading massive logs repeatedly, so this defect really shouldn't matter unless someone is deliberately trying to deny service to other users. There's an easy workaround for people running in to this problem on MacOS. Of the other problems you mention, the invalid zone problem is already fixed with no TQSL update needed. The command line problem isn't anything normal users would run in to, and has no impact whatsoever on DX4WIN users. Actually, the Mac problem also has no impact for DX4WIN users, either. So, sure, stay with what you have - you get no usable error messages when certificate imports fail, you're allowed to upload QSOs with incorrect zones without being warned, you can upload QSOs to Logbook as often as you like, you can upload logs that'll get rejected by Logbook because your certificate has expired, you can't upload directly to Logbook, and you'll be allowed to upload using locations where there's no valid certificate (which Logbook will reject). You won't be notified when the fixes for the minor problems are available, and can't automatically update to fix any defects. If any of those problems are issues for you, there's an updated version of TQSL available on the sourceforge site - http://sourceforge.net/projects/trustedqsl/files/TrustedQSL/ - so please give the update a try. We're doing what we can to improve the user experience and appreciate constructive comments. I'm having a hard time undestanding the point of your message. Please explain. (Apologies, but the team has spent a lot of personal time trying to make TrustedQSL better. Taking cheap shots ticks me off, and this is a cheap shot.) -Rick On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 8:33 PM, Joseph Orsak jor...@nc.rr.com wrote: I think I'll be waiting a good long while before trying the new Trusted QSL: May 21, 2013: From the Trusted QSL software development team - We announced last week that TQSL 1.14 would be available today (20 May 2013).

[Dx4win] Country files web site under construction
The http://www.country-files.com web site is under construction. You will not be able to download DX4WIN country file updates until I release a new updater utility in the next day or two, after I settle on a new directory structure for downloads. Sorry for the inconvenience. 73 - Jim AD1C -- 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] New TQSL not ready for prime time
I agree with Rick. I use the beta version in a PC a lot of time now without problems and the software now is much much better and user friendly. Upload in LotW is much easier and more safe... 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 23/5/2013 5:31 πμ, ο/η Rick Murphy έγραψε: Joseph, You're entitled to your opinion.
