Re: [Dx4win] What is the future of DX4WIN?

[John Pritt]

I absolutely love DX4Win and have since the day it was released.  For my 
logging needs it is totally functional.  I also think that the support is 
awesome thanks to Paul, Jim, Guy and the rest of the users.

[Dx4win] log window not showing when starting program

[John Pritt]

I hope someone can help me.  I accidently shutdown the computer before I
shutdown DX4Win. Now when I restart the program the Packet window, DX Spots
window, Events window, and File/Radio/Help windows come up fine but not the
Log window where I enter a new QSO.  Can anyone explain how this can be
fixed please.  Thanks

Re: [Dx4win] A dig import

[John Pritt]

Good evening Paul and Group. 

Regarding editing an ADIF file such as the one in the WSJT program click on 
File then choose from drop down menu “Open wsjtx_log.adi”.  Highlight those 
QSOs that you are interested in then choose Copy.  Be sure to highlight the 
entire lIne for each QSO you wish to copy from the program.  In my case I chose 
to copy from 07-04-2020 to the end of the file.  Close the WSJT program and 
right click on your desktop, select New then choose Text Document from the drop 
down menu and name this txt document. Now open this file and paste the QSOs 
that you had selected from WSJT.  If it looks ok close this file and change the 
extension from .txt to .adi.  Now you can open DX4Win and import this .adi file 
into DX4Win.

I hope these instructions are clear but if not let me know where you are having 
problems and I’ll help you through it.

[Dx4win] Screen freezes

[John Pritt]

I have a problem with Version 9.0.9.1259.  I have been entering QSL cards this 
morning and noticed two things.  Screen freezes For a period of time then goes 
back to normal after 5 to 10 seconds when saving changes made to a QSO and 
checking the confirmed box in the Logging window does not show up in the Same 
Call window for that QSO.  Checking the Task Manager during freeze ups shows no 
increase in CPU activity.  Now I brought up Version 8 and have no freeze ups 
when saving info in that version and confirming in Logging window properly 
shows up in the Same Call window.  Any ideas what is causing this in Version 9? 
 Your help would be appreciated.

I’m finally printing QSL cards to be sent to the Buro  with version 9.   I

Right now DX4Win wants to print each Q on a separate card.  Can anyone tell me 
what to set in the program to make that happen?  Would really appreciate your

[Dx4win] Warning Win 10 updates, Very important.

[John Pritt]

Yesterday I went from the shack to the kitchen for dinner.  I left DX4Win
running, as I usually do, to see if any new bands or modes are  spotted.
When I came back to the shack DX4Win was closed and the desktop was showing.
I had to log back in with my password to restart DX4Win.  I immediately got
a warning that that DX4Win was corrupted.  I just want you all to be aware
this could happen to you.  When Windows 10 wants to do an update it gives
you a warning and if you are not in front of your PC to see that warning it
will very rudely shut down any program that is running.   Luckily I had just
save a copy of the SAVE directory because I had just finished entering
roughly 200 new QSL cards that I had received.  Had I not saved when I did I
would have lost all those QSLs that I entered!  Of course as I enter the
cards I put them away in alpa/numerical order with the other thousands of
cards I keep in a card cabinet I would have never found them all to reenter
them.  Also, don't walk away from your PC without closing DX4Win or any
other programs.  Remember to Save Save Save!!

[Dx4win] DX4Win ver. 9.3.0

[John Pritt]

Hi, I just purchased version 9 and looking forward to getting installed on my 
Ham PC.  In the past, when a new version was offered, I just copied my DX4Win 
log file from the previous version into the new version.  Is this still 
acceptable or should I actually import the log file into ver. 9xxx?  I’ve been 
reading most of the reflector posts regarding this new version but I may have 
missed where anyone posted that question.  

I wasn’t going to upgrade because version 8 has been an awesome program for my 
older radio equipment but there are 4 reasons why I decided purchased 9xxx.  
1 – I wanted to do my part to ensure that Paul got financially rewarded for his 
and others hard work!
2 – I also wanted to be able to import my FT8 log without having to play games 
with the mode and…
3 – DX4Win ver. 8’s display on Windows 10 is very blah and the windows are non- 
distinctive .  Win10 just doesn’t seem to offer the  various tinted title bars 
with a bolder color for the selected window like XP and Win 7 did.  Now that 
the DX4Win skin selections work properly, I can get a nice distinction between 
windows…Lastly,
4 – With all the unbelievable support from Jim (AD1C) and several others, who 
could ever ask for more from a logging program!

Thank you and 73,
John  (N1JP)

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win not holding window positions - More info

[John Pritt]

What's interesting is that the Title Header of each window remains in 
the same position but the size of the window shrinks a bit from what I 
resized them to.  The windows that are Fixed (non-adjustable in size IE: 
the Entry window) in position and size remain the same. After resizing 
the windows, how I want them, I wrote the INI file and replaced the one 
in the  Save directory with the same results when I restart the program.

[Dx4win] Keying a radio with a USB to parallel port adapter

[John Pritt]

Has anyone had any luck keying a radio using an USB to printer adapter?  
I just purchased a new PC and of course it doesn't have a conventional 
serial port or printer port.  I purchased a USB to Serial adapter and 
installed it and that works great to my Ten Tec Omni VI with DX4WIN V8.  
I plugged the USB to Printer adapter in but it is not showing up on the 
device manager screen.  The adapter is sold under the name of UGREEN.  I 
would really appreciate some input on this idea or must I key the radio 
using a USB to serial port adapter?


Thank you,

John  (N1JP)

Re: [Dx4win] Update DX4Win from LOTW

[John Pritt]

Thanks for your reply Mike, much appreciated.  I have used the 'Compare' 
utility that Jim made up (Thanks Jim!) and I've change about half of the 
mismatches to what I thought they should be but I stopped half way 
through because I wasn't sure which of the 3 drop-downs (made visible by 
F5) I should select or change, S, C or I.


The last paragraph, number (2) of Jim's article is interesting though.  
Unfortunately the 'Account Credits' chart it doesn't break down how an 
award was broken down for credit such as for Mixed, Band or Mode or all 
three.  That's why I was hoping I could merge the LOTW DXCC QSO file 
into DX4WIN log to make those selections for me automatically.


I've using DX4WIN since it was introduced, which I believe was before 
LOTW was even created, but I really didn't know how to address those 
entries.  Certainly it was laziness on my part for not taking the time 
to figure it out or asking Paul how to make those selections 
accurately.  I'll work on this though because I have retired and now 
would like DX4WIN to reflect the correct information.


Thanks again,  N1JP

download the file "DXCC QSL Download' from LOTW and merge it in such a 
way to automatically update your DX4Win log, DXCC QSOs, to match that of 
LOTW?  If there is, can you provide that info in a text or indicate the 
location where I can download it from so that I can follow it step by 
step?  It would be VERY much appreciated.


Thank you,

John  N1JP

Great question Ron.  I’m still running XP pro and would really like to stay 
there.

Re: [Dx4win] Future of DX4WIN

[John Pritt]

I certainly agree with you Bob.  I put rig control right up there with 
working with new OSs.  I apologize if I was not completely up to speed with 
why there are complaints with DX4WIN.  I wasn't aware that Paul is not 
updating for new rigs.  I'm still using a Ten Tec Omni 6!

I too love DX4WIN..but if you do not have a RIG file that talks to your 
radio
what do you do. I assure you NO RIG file and the enjoyment of working DX 
and logging in real time is a real turn off.
So go out and buy a NON supported new rig and see how much you then enjoy 
your logging program.

One of the huge incentives to buy was RIG control.
Think about not being able  to use your rig with DX4WIN then think about 
how

you would feel.

I bought a RIG control program from N4PY that allows it to communicate 
with dx4win and fldigi. The N4PY program is amazing. Try the demo. 
Beautiful radio interface.

And I paid for it.

And again all I am saying is please give us a current statement of 
intentions.
I bought the program back in 2.0 have had other rigs and RIG files were 
added

and supported. Really a comment from Paul is not too much to ask. IMHO.

And don't give me the "well just move on crap". Paul should be the one to 
tell me this at least. No one else.

the new OSs from Microsoft I'm a happy customer.  Just saying...

HI All,

Maybe, if Paul is not in position to update the program, we on this list 
could buy access to the source code and arrange to move it forward as a 
not for profit operation. The details could be tricky to work out but it 
seems feasible if Paul is interested, and if we can make it good enough 
to again attract new users who would pay to join this project. I have 
something like N1MM but with a paid programer(s) involved.


Thanks,
