Mike, Windows 7 ignores the traditional LPT port address assignments, which is likely the source of your problem. You need to use Device Manager to learn the address that Win7 assigned to your card, and then create a PORTMAP.INI file in your /SAVE directory to tell DX4Win where to find it.

[Dx4win] SyncBack_DX4WIN_BACKUPS

2005-12-24 Thread Larry Gauthier (K8UT)
George, I'm afraid I might have mis-marketed SyncBack when I talked about its benefits here on the reflector. SyncBack is a great backup program for doing daily (or less frequent) backups, but it is NOT the right tool for mirroring two drives in real-time or at short intervals. There are some

Paul, Like others here, I also use Syncback. This free program will backup to a pen drive, a CD rom, a network drive, or an FTP site. As part of the backup, you can configure Syncback to compress data into a ZIP file, making the external file transfer smaller/faster; and can also encrypt the

Mark, Although DX4WIN will not auto-connect to a telnet connection, you can modify the DX4WIN.TCP file to life nicer. Using Notepad (or any other text editor), open the file and put your favorite cluster site(s) at the top. Then, when the Select Internet address dialog box opens, the cursor

John, I use the RIGblaster Plus with an Icom 756 ProIII, DX4Win 7.01, MMTY in FSK, and a WaveNode wattmeter (LPT port interface). I operate phone, CW, RTTY, and PSK modes, and it works well _AFTER_ spending a lot of time messing around with the internal jumpers. I can switch between modes

[Dx4win] Problem deleting QSL Manager info

2005-03-05 Thread Larry Gauthier (K8UT)
Radi, I have hesitated to delete records from the QSL Managers database because (aside from the very obvious Windows Exception error) it leaves blank records in the file. I don't know if that will cause other problems or not -- will need to hear from Paul on that issue. -larry K8UT -

Thanks to the Paul's efforts (as well as programmers for other products), you can now interface to multiple parallel (LPT) ports under Windows XP and Windows 2000. This means that products like: DX4Win's CW driver, the WaveNode WN-1 wattmeter, band decoders (remote antenna switches) from ON4AOI

I had this problem 3 years ago with DX4WIN CW keying on a Dell Pentium 800 MHz computer. NOTHING I did with this computer solved the problem -- load, unload, install, reconfigure, new versions of Windows, BIOS upgrades, old and new versions of DX4WIN -- nothing fixed it. The problem turned out

OK - so I have figured out: the LoTW ADIF extract from DX4win, the ARRL certificates, signing the ADIF file, uploading the file, downloading the matching QSO confirmation results, and importing the results into DX4WIN as upload confirmed QSOs. I uploaded 15,761 QSOs to LoTW. I got 1,962 upload

Jeff, I took a two step approach (and have only implemented the first step!). The first step was to examine my QSL collection, go back into my paper logs, and enter every QSO for which I had received a QSL card. (which was not very many - I was not an avid QSL'er then). So, at least I had an
