Hi Gary,

There is a way to direct the announcements to a Talk Messages window (see the
Packet1 preferences under "Warning messages").  However, they still appear in
the Packet Window.  I prefer that the messages be MOVED and not just COPIED.

For those recommending the use of VE7CC user software, the messages are
separated, but only in that program.  When you connect to it with DX4WIN,
DX4WIN will still receive all the spots, announcements, etc. as if it were
connected to a live cluster.

Where does one find these fonts? Please copy the reflector with the answer.

This also happens with the microHam interfaces.  Paul has put some "remedial"
code into 7.03 but it's still not perfect.  For some reason, the "Band" field
is almost always right, but the "Frequency" note is sometimes not right.

My belief is that the virtual USB drivers are not providing the exact same
control signal behavior as a real COM port.  DX4WIN relies on these signals to
know when the COM port is already in use.  I also suspect that DX4WIN may be
trying to read the radio frequency (in order to log a QSO or put out a packet
spot) while a poll is already in progress, but Paul has neither
confirmed/denied this.

Some things I have found that help:

- if the RigTalk program is polling the radio, turn that feature off.  Only let
DX4WIN read/write commands from/to the radio.

- if the ICOM radio is operating in "transceive" mode, turn that off.  There
should be a menu setting for this.

- make sure your RigTalk/microHam, etc. is on a dedicated USB port that is not
shared with any other devices.  If you go into the hardware device manager, you
can see what devices are attached to each port.  I moved mine to a different
USB jack that I found was not shared with any other device.

I have not found that increasing or decreasing the polling interval makes much
of a difference.

Hello Jim.
For Callsign I'm using AlgerianD font, and for Boby font - AvantGarde.
Use GOOGLE for searching.
I'm not remembering from where I'm downloading them. 

BTW Old fonts are works with version 5.03 and 6.02 versions.
