[Dx4win] Return to last frequency
With my contest logger, if I click on a cluster spot whilst 'running' I can hit an F-key to return to my original frequency. Is that possible in DX4WIN?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN and Windows 7
My old faithful PC running XP is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I have a new W7 machine on order. This may well have been covered off on previous posts, I admit to not yet having done a complete search, but what's the current thinking on pit falls to be aware of when doing a new installation ?

Is it possible to (somehow?) open a 2nd MMTTY window with DX4WIN, such that the B-VFO can be used to simultaneously monitor another frequency (think: split frequency working on RTTY).

[Dx4win] Other QSOs - Query
This might be a bit late to investigate. but 'what-if' I decide to open a brand new log for (say) 2010, is there any way to run the 'Other QSOs' box concurrent with the new log so that previous contacts can be viewed? I guess this wont be possible as the previous contacts would be in a different .dxl file, ?

[Dx4win] MMTTY
As mentioned previously though, SPLIT operation on RTTY (MMTTY) doesn?t work properly; if you call someone on the 2nd VFO the received signal on the main VFO is then reversed.?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Writelog W5XD Multi-Keyer
Anyone using DX4WIN in conjunction with a W5XD (Writelog) Multi-Keyer? When running Writelog and the Multi-keyer with a 1000MP I successfully key via the COM port for CW, but for DX4WIN I have to resort to a separate LPT connection.

[Dx4win] Windows COM Port Problem?
This is something which has happened ever since I had this computer (Hewlett Packard Pavilion T461, about two years old and running XP), and is something I thought to get to grips with some time. Scenario is this - - Computer switched on, maybe for email or general use, but radios (2 x 1000MP) are switched off; some time later (could be an hour, maybe several hours) the radios are switched on and the appropriate radio software booted up (this could be DX4WIN or Writelog), but - for whatever reason (that's THE problem) - the COM ports do not communicate with the radios. I have to switch off, and reboot the PC in order for the COM ports to see the radio. The particular COM ports have *not* been used for any other devices, so something else grabbing the COM ports doesn't appear to be the issue. OK, this is not *that* serious, just a little bit annoying, and (as stated at the beginning) is one of those things to get to grips with some time. So, maybe today's that day! Anyone any idea as to what needs to be done to resolve this? 73 Steve GW4BLE

[Dx4win] Replies - Reinstall to new PC - and more questions...
Thanks to the guys who have already replied about this, based on the comments (below), they have opened up a few more queries though I recommend you first copy your existing DX4WIN directory (and all subdirectories) to the new machine. THEN re-install DX4WIN in the same place. This is needed to get the parallel port driver working properly. I backup my SAVE directory on to a cd and second HD. Make a new complete install off dx4win. Than copy the save directory in the new installation off dx4win/save directory Steve don't forget to copy the VICH11.sys file into Windows/system32 folder. You should re-install DX4WIN on the XP machine then copy your key files from the old PC. The program chooses the correct parallel port driver based upon the operating system, and maybe other drivers. If you are not using the parallel port, it might be OK copying everything. Did not work for me. Just coping did not do it because when you just copy the program is not installed. Installation is necessary to get the program to be registered and run. The way I got it to play was to install and set up a log. Then deleted the save folder and then copied in the complete old save folder. That worked for me but it might also be possible to import the log. As the saying goes on this side of the Atlantic, your mileage may vary. I did something similar with TRLog and found that the copying onto CD converted all the files to read-only. This is readily reversible in Windows Explorer but drove me nuts till I found it! Questions of concern now IF files are some how converted to read-only in the copying process, how are they reversed in Windows Explorer? and... What's the issue with the VICH11.sys file? Is that something important? 73 Steve GW4BLE
