To each their own but I don't like the way that set up works. Try logging V73VE for example. If using http://www.qrz.com/callsign?qsl= then QRZ.COM just tells you: QSL Contact information Not Found We're sorry but we do not have the QSL information for: V73VE
But if you set both CALLSIGN and QSL MGR to http://www.qrz.com/ and you hit enter with V73VE in the CALLSIGN window it takes you to V73VE's qrz.com listing where you can either get his QSL direct info or in this case tells you JF1OCQ is his manager, which just happens to agree with what is shown in the F3 QSL Mgr window. You can now put the cursor behind JF1OCQ in the QSL Mgr window and gets his address from QRZ.COM. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. For my purposes I don't like the way http://www.qrz.com/callsign?qsl= works. 73 Isidro Acosta Hern?ndez wrote: > Hi Jim, and all the DX4win fellows... > > >>Can someone please send me instructions or a screen shot showing how >>to configure DX4WIN "F3" callbook lookup key to work with QRZ.COM? > > > 1) In the main menu go to File > Preferences > Ext Data > > Website callsign lookup. > > 2) Mark the "Enabled" box. > > 3) Put http://www.qrz.com/ in the "Callsign lookup address" box. > > 4) Put http://www.qrz.com/callsign?qsl= in the "QSL manager lookup address" > box. > > 5) File > Save changes and exit. > > Now, when you have a callsign in the QSO log, hit F3 (The Callsign/Mgr > lookup windows will appear with the related info).
