> I cannot get F2 to set the qsl date to anything. I have a QSO with 5K0T where I sent a QSL, so the QSL Date is the date I sent the card. I used F2 and two things happened:
- QSO was marked confirmed by QSL - QSL date was set to today's date (that date I received the card. If I'm answering cards from the bureau (where I had not sent a card first), F2 sets the Cnfm and Label flags. When I eventually print the labels, DX4WIN will set the QSL date to the date on which the labels are printed. I find this very fast and simple. I don't believe that F2 can set the QSL date if there is NOT already a date in the field. It's only meant to (optionally) change the Sent date to the Rcvd date. 73 - Jim AD1C On 5/6/2010 1:43 PM, John Buck wrote: > I have updated to 8.04 and got an improvement in the F2 action. > At least now it works predictably. > > With Preferences, F2 key, set as follows: > Checked: Mark Qso as confirmed, Set QSL Data to today, Qsl method Direct. > > QSL method action is only if Mark QSO for Label is checked. > > I cannot get F2 to set the qsl date to anything. > > I suppose there is some logic to this if the QSL date is set when the > label is printed. > > To me, the coupled logic is not useful.
