Any suggestions? you can search with f8 for error in "notes for this qso" . you will have all these qsos If you have opened the logbook window try right click on this and write to a file. In general the biggest avantage of dx4win this moment is the right database. This is happened because of ad1c tries. It is strongly possible that the most of your "wrong" qsos is wrong and the right infos is what dx4win has. But follow Jim's instructions and help all of us to find the differences. See http://www.ad1c.us/dx4win/index.htm for dx4win infos first and especially http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/index.htm where you can find the latest country file. > 4) Any way to SH/DX rather than bringing up the PACKET screen?

You can include the name in Notes for this call. This field is the same for all the qsos with the same station while the notes for this qso window has separate contents for every qso. You can print the name if you wish and to include this in your macros for rtty, psk and cw. Unfortunately not a separate field. > 7) Going to have to look through the filters section stuff a lot.

I suppose that is possible. Don't quickly > see how. Another strong point of dx4win. You can make any combined search. Press f8 in qso window, write the fields you like and you will have the results under logbook window where you can save or print them. Ofcourse you can multiple operations on these.

Sure one can change it for a > particular QSO but how about the fix working for subsequent ones? You must close the log, make your level to expert (file>preferences) and you can change whatever you want. I suggest that it is better to note the mistakes and let one man (let's say Jim ad1c) to do this task. So these are double checked and you help the others while you help yourself from what the others found > 9) Any way to define a wanted rig filter default per mode for the > IC-706iig? Now one automatically gets the wide filter for all modes. I am sure that it could be done because you can edit the rig files, but i don't know more > 10) What is update policy?

Usually you must pay for the major updates (for 6.x to 7.x , etc) abt 20$ while no pay for the small ones (from 7.01 to 7.02). Unfortunately the last years we have just one update every year > > Before spending $90, I'm interested in resolving some of the above. > > 73 de Brian/K3KO I think that there isn't something better than dx4win even it isn't perfect (like all things in world) Seasons greetings Kostas SV1DPI > > > > _______________________________________________ > Dx4win mailing list > Dx4win@mailman.qth.net > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win > >
