[Dx4win] FW: Mode Locked in RTTY
To build on what John and Mike are saying, I use a key stroke recording app called Macro Recorder to enter each QSO into DX4WIN immediately after it is logged in WSJT-X. All I have to do is hit the Insert key. Macro Recorder then executes a little routine that emulates all of the mouse movements and clicks to import the WSJT-X log into DX4WIN. This is a nice workaround until Paul implements UDP broadcast functionality within DX4WIN. When Paul gets that done, QSOs will automatically get logged into DX4WIN like they do when using MMTTY on RTTY. Paul, we really need this. The whole world is going in this direction. Please help your user base keep pace. The one major drawback to Macro Recorder is that you have to pay for it. It costs around $50. There are some free keystroke mappers, but I could not get them to work. The ultimate and best solution is for Paul to implement UDP broadcast for his users. We need it 73, Dave, N4QS -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of John, K9EL Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2022 7:26 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Cc: gw3sfc Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Mode Locked in RTTY There are many of us who use the same solution as Mike described - periodically (could be after every QSO!) import the WSJT-X file.One way to make that easier is to create a shortcut to the WSJT-X ADIF file on your desktop. Once you navigate to the desktop the first time, the import window will open subsequently on your desktop. Just click the shortcut and your FT8/FT4 etc QSOs are imported with the proper mode designator. 73, John K9EL On Aug 10, 2022, at 6:19 AM, Mike Cizek W0VTT wrote: When you use any of the "sound card modes", the Elecraft radios have no way of knowing what mode you are using.
