Dear List Members: I recently used my laptop to log some QSOs as HS0ZCK during a recent trip to Thailand. When I got home, I merged these QSOs as a new group with my K2XX file on my shack desktop computer using the DX4WIN file merge commands. Ever since I did the merge, I have gibberish in the "Notes for this Call" area of the QSO window. The gibberish is: /stonDWF8C, and the "D" is in red with the rest in black. It appears whenever I hit F9 to log a QSO in real time and disappears when I start to enter a call into the QSO window.
I tried merging the HS0 log into my K2XX backup file and the same gibberish appeared in the same place. However, since I didn't save the merged files in this case, the gibberish problem can be reversed by simply deleting the merged HS0 QSOs. In the case of my main K2XX file, where I did save the HS0 QSOs, the gibberish problem cannot be reversed by deleting the HS0 merged files. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here and how I can correct the problem? (BTW, both computers are using version 5.03 of DX4WIN.) Thanks for your help. 73, Joe
