Re: [Dx4win] how to Set RTTY mode on Flex?
Excellent, absolutely great! Works like a charm, thank you and K8ESQ who also sent me the new file. The key was using ZZMD00. I was so close as I tried with one zero not knowing what those zeros are for:) There are some minor differences in the files of K0EOO and K8ESQ. Not sure if they matter: [RC-Read S meter] CSTR=ZZSM; vs [RC-Read S meter] CSTR=SM0; * [RC-Set Split off] CSTR=ZZSW0; vs [RC-Set Split off] CSTR=FR0;FT0; * [RC-Set Split on] CSTR=ZZSW1; vs [RC-Set Split on] CSTR=FR0;FT1; * [RF-S meter] CMD=Read S meter FMT=String POS=5 LM=3 vs [RF-S meter] CMD=Read S meter FMT=String POS=4 LM=4 If anyone can say which versions are better would be nice to hear. 73 Tonno ES5TV On 27 Sep 2018, at 17:33, Dennis Petrich wrote: Tonno, try this Radio driver, Flexradio6000 1, with DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues
Hi Guy, Thank you for bringing out the steps but I hate to repeat myself. All this is clear and simple but it does not work because the information gets lost from the log through export-import and thus it can't be used. I lose all the defined Groups and Selections. God knows what else (maybe SWL records, etc, etc). Thus this export-import is only useful for one thing as I see so far - checking the CTY file errors. That's it. I would love to get all this to Textpad and have fun with it but I cannot do anything useful with the results I get from Textpad. Waiting thus to have Paul fix this - I would REALLY love to have the option of SPLIT AT THE FIRST SPACE like described my some others. And option of choosing the delimiter. I have this problem that due to some earlier import/export I have already doubled the Notes of the Call so I hope that once this Split function is introduced there is also possibility to overwrite anything on the QTH field by doing it. Then I can first split off the double part with / delimiter and then split the remainder with first space and whatever goes to the QTH field will overwrite the previous values. That is my dream on that subject:) Another dream I have is to have functional Remove Duplicate QSLs button which is completely messed up now and deletes all labels when any QSO is confirmed in this band/mode combination. It should absolutely ignore the CONFIRMED flag and only look at the QSL sent and LABEL fields. I simply can't understand why it has anything to do with Confirmed flag and why this has been this way for many years and not fixed. Probably there is a reason. And one question: Is there any way to set default Report view? It always defaults to Logbook which is not what I like to use, thus one always has to change when starting the program. Quite inconvenient. Maybe the solution is to just edit Logbook report? 73 Tonno ES5TV -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of ON4AOI Sent: Sunday, August 09, 2009 1:33 PM To: sm0...@stockholm.bostream.se Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues Mel, Yep step by step would be a good start and always save with new name in case Something goes wrong you can always go back one step.

I have in those contacts with several different operators and QTHs used , and | to separate them.

Hmm, now that is strange. Please confirm that when you export your log with 6.03 or later filter into DXQ file (and DXN), then close the log and open a completely new log file (you can add one QSO there or not) and import the same DXQ back into it you will actually have the list of Groups!?

Re: [Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues
It does not work this way Guy! I am also in trouble with the delimiter as I have used space between name and QTH. I have been trying to find way to export the log to change the delimiter but it is impossible with DXQ-QXN export-import because the Notes for This Call gets doubled! Meaning the old values are not replaced whatever you do but anything you import on top of them are added with /. Even if you export your log, delete ALL QSOs after that and import all the QSOs back then your Notes for This Call get multiplied by two with / in between. Crazy. And it is not possible to open a new log file (thus getting rid of the old Notes... data) and import all QSOs there because then you also lose all the Groups list.

Meaning the old values are not replaced whatever you do but anything you import on top of them are added with /. Even if you export your log, delete ALL QSOs after that and import all the QSOs back then your Notes for This Call get multiplied by two with / in between. Crazy.

[Dx4win] Remove Duplicate QSLs
Has been many years and versions ago since I found out and pointed out that it did not work properly. It used to change BOTH Y labels to N if two QSOs on the same band/mode combination were marked for printing even if NO QSL had been ever sent. I installed the latest 707 version yesterday and tried it again. No it is even worse. It deletes ANY Y labels set if there is ANY QSO CONFIRMED on that band/mode combination! That is disastrous and makes the function useless. Most of the time the usage would be that after registering incoming QSLs and setting the Y labels one would want to run Remove Duplicate QSLs to change labels to N if QSL Date is set for set band/mode combination. Now it does check the QSL Date but also checks the confirmed flag and if it is Y then deletes all Y labels for that band/mode combination. Why is that?? Anybody else trying to use this? 73 Tonno ES5TV __ 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] Remove Duplicate QSLs bug
I reported this 3 years ago in June 2004 and it has been reported by others meanwhile. A very troublesome bug and really needs a fix finally. Pressing Remove Duplicate QSLs does not actually Remove Duplicate QSLs if the QSL Date has been set or Confirmed label has been set to Y for a QSO of the same band/mode combination. The label can be Y for the same QSO even where a QSL DATE has been set and it still does not turn it to N. The help file says: * Remove duplicate QSLs The print flag will be cleared for all duplicate QSOs. A QSO is considered a duplicate when another QSO can be found that is for the same callsign, band and mode and when that QSO is confirmed, a label will be printed, or a QSL label was printed already. * So it only works in the 2nd case: when label will be printed but not in the remaining two cases. Maybe Mailed Cutoff is not working properly but it also does not take the Confirmed status into account. The help file is clearly incorrect now and causes confusion. And this otherwise nice feature turns useless and also turns the MARK QSOs GOING... button useless as you cannot eliminate Duplicates after using it. I have not seen any comment on this yet but I truelly hope this could be addressed finally. Paul do you have any ideas on that? 73 Tonno ES5TV

[Dx4win] 603 and Selections
Yes Jure, same here. Thanks for noticing the connection with Selection. I had the same problem. The QSOGroup turned into 6 at some point for no reason from my usual 0 and I could not find the reason. Well, it was because I selected the 6th (counting 0 as well) Selection to input QSOs. So the QSOGroup number changes to the number of the Selection always when the Selection is changed. When I go back to the 0 Selection the Group goes to 0. So that's a small bug to be added to the bug list for next version. 73 tonno es5tv - Original Message - From: Jure Vranicar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DX4WIN dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: 29. juuli 2004. a. 18:46 Subject: [Dx4win] 603 and Selections Hello, I have a strange problem in Ver. 603 with SELECTIONS that I can not solve.

In 603, after selection IOTA 2004 and hitting F9, I get number 6 in Group box of Log input window. Now, if I check File/Preferences/QSO - Defaults for new QSO, I find group number 6 there also. Restarting program will leave number 6 in the Preferences. If I select QRP, it will bring me number 8 in the box, selecting HELL will bring number 3 and so on. I have redefined all selections but this happens all the time. Is it a bug in 603 or am I doing something wrong? For now I will stay with 602, where selections works just fine - for me ...

[Dx4win] Strange flaw in Importing with DX4WIN Filter
Another most strange thing I discovered occurs when Importing a DXQ File with DX4WIN3, DX4WIN4 or DX4WIN5 filters. If the QSO time has 59 seconds in it the number or seconds is changed to 58 during importing!!! Can you believe it? I spent quite a few hours trying to figure out why I get duplicate QSOs in my log when I export some QSOs and then Import the same QSOs back selecting: IMPORTED QSO REPLACES EXISTING QSO. I did this operation because I wanted to set the CONFIRMED label to N for a group of QSOs and this is not included into Multiple QSOs Operations. So I had to EXPORT-IMPORT them. So for every 100 QSOs or so I got one identical duplicate and I did not have the Show Seconds in Time marked in Preferences. So it was quite a puzzle till I finally got to it. I checked with other second figures and no problem but 59 is always changed to 58:))) Can you confirm? 73 tonno es5tv
[Dx4win] A Bad Bug in Remove Duplicate QSLs!
Some of my QSOs I had marked LABEL-Y for sending out constantly seemed to change their LABEL status back to N for no reason. I was confused and what I finally found out was a kind of a bad surprise: If you have have received 2 QSLs from a certain station for QSOs on the same band and mode in different times and you have either one or both of those QSOs marked as LABEL-Y for replying then after pushing the Remove Duplicate QSLs button both LABELs are turned to N! In other words if there are two confirmed QSOs with the same station on the same BAND/MODE the the program treats the situation as if you had ALREADY SENT A QSL! It does not matter that the QSL Date is empty! After running a search of confirmed but not mailed QSOs today and manually checking them all I found tens of unreplied Direct and Bureau QSLs because of that Bug. Sorry to those that have been waiting for Direct confimration in vain! You will get it know. Can anybody verify that bug? 73 Tonno ES5TV

Customizable Same Call Window is at the TOP OF MY WISH LIST. I have sent it to the reflector but I am not sure you have noticed so sorry for saying it again.

Especially on low bands - don't you guys want to see if the signal is stronger or weaker than last time???

[Dx4win] Green on... + items for 6.03!
It really seems to be no problem - the spot colors are definitely a lot more infomative than in previous versions. I like the green stuff and you can always turn it off although I see no reason... As to SELECTING THINGS IN PREFERENCES to my opinion there are tens of other small but more important things that might be adjustable/customizeable by user. It is obvious that the variety and the amount of the users' wishes are growing at faster pace than the program can develope at this stage so I hope that the next updates will gradually take my wishes into account as well. Just to name few I would really like to have (listed by priority): 1. Want to customize Same Call Fields! Please let me add other fields (RSTs, QSO Notes...)!! 2. Want to customize all the field lengths in Logbook and please repair Notes bug (described in previous e-mail). 3. Want to select multiple QSOs from Logbook window and/or 4. Want to search by exact time to time or by QSO number to number. If there are 600 QSOs in a day and I want to perform a Multiple QSOs Operation on the ones (say 244 of them) I worked before noon the only way to do it ONE BY ONE!!! 5. In 6.01 the SSB reports changed to 3 digits - I am not happy about it. I have never used 3 and I wish there was a small radio button in preferences that allowed me to pick either 2 or 3 digits. Better yet the 3rd digit of the report could be listed under DISABLED FIELDS!! I am in the process of entering some old logs and now have to push 2 times more Enter for each QSO I enter. 6. When Changing QSL Routing (e.g. Remove Duplicate QSLs) would like to see which QSOs were changed!! 7. When importing QSL Managers or Managers' Addresses would like to see which entries were changed!! Not just Replaced 55 and Added 32. There could be messages the same way as when merging CTY files! 8. Please add Multiple QSOs operations: Change Date, Set IOTA (as Set USA States). I know you can change Date by the number of days but if you're 10 years off it takes quite some calculation:) 9. NEW COUNTRY spots could also be Yellow/Light Yellow - not worked/not confirmed instead of just one Yellow. Why not green/light green by the same logic. Who considers it too colorful can always turn it off. If at least half of those things were inlcuded in the upgrade I would really feel like having a new version already. Out of the present new things in 6.01/6.02 I only found a few small things that were useful for me personally (spot colors, IOTA inserted, KG4) and at least one minus - SSB reports.
