Hi! My two cents: -What about the automatic reconnection of DX cluster if it lost connection? WinTest can do it - More then one antenna rotor support - many HAM's have two or even more towers/rotors - When DX4WIN is started, the last QSO in the log is displayed and you should always push F9 to start logging - why?

My wish list (in addition to xmmt.ocx support) for the next release includes the following: QRZ.com XML data subscription support in the F3 Callsign/Mgr Lookup window. This is LONG OVERDUE! Having to use a callbook CD is so archaic and annoying, since they are out of date as soon as you get them. Automatic removal of "old" spots from the DX Spots window (as happens in the BandMap). A Preferences option to control this behavior would be nice. That would keep those who like it the way it is happy, too. Smooth, clean and transparent disabling of the radio interface if the radio is turned off before shutting down DX4Win. Automatic re-establishment of the connection if the radio is turned back on. Other programs do this, e.g. WriteLog. An indicator on the QSO window that the rig interface is not working would be nice, e.g. a blinking red dot, showing "No Rig!" in the frequency box, or flashing frequency/mode info. But it should not hang DX4Win and demand that the operator click on a dialog box to proceed. Proper logging of split frequency operation. The Frequency box should always be the receive frequency, i.e. the frequency that the DX is transmitting on. The QSX (transmit) frequency should be logged in a field separate from the current Frequency box only if operating split. (It is currently done in reverse from this.) Well, that's my list of the biggest annoyances. I am sure there are others that I haven't thought of right now. I recently evaluated DXLab and HRDeluxe. Quite frankly, DX4Win is much better than either of these in ease of use, award tracking, award submission and many other areas. Not to mention AD1C's efforts on all the various database files! Now, if only it could be updated to fix the above problems, I would be a very happy camper! 73, Craig, K0CF ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
