Paul should put a link on the DX4WIN website for owner's to contribute
their idea's to the "Wish List".
I sent an email to Paul 2-3 weeks ago with a suggestion and did not
receive a response so I resorted
to the DX4WIN Reflector to BE HEARD.
Requesting some attention from the owner's of DX4WIN, the people who
support the Owner, asking for
continuing improvements is not bad mouthing just to clarify.

DX4Win started as a logging program as I recall. Operating was up to the person who had
the amateur license; logging the QSO'S that resulted from the "operating" was
the job of the program.
Over time the intellectual property owner has chosen to add features and
present new Versions for sale. Some of the added features happen to relate to
operating things rather than logging of QSO's.
As purchasers and users all we can properly expect is that the features
declared to be in the Version we purchased work as they are defined to work for
the equipment environment for which they are declared to be functional. That
implies that new radios , new rotators or new COM to USB devices are not
explicitly supported. If the IP owner chooses to modify the Version to expand
the supported equipment environment, great. The same thing is true for
logging/operating features. If the IP owner chooses to add them, fine.
It seems a bit unreasonable to use the "product user reflector" to 'bad mouth'
the IP owner.
Of course there is nothing wrong with making suggestions that the product
planner can consider when ( and if ) a new product or new version is being
planned. Commenting on what you wish was present or even identifying an
alternate product that has a feature you 'wish' was present seems reasonable.
Building a list of features that users "wish" were present seems reasonable too;
particularly if maintenance of such a listing is not expected to be the job of the IP owner. It
would be even nicer if someone had that list on a web site so it could be referenced by people.
That might reduce duplicate postings about certain " not present yet" features.
One of 'The Laws of Life" is:
"Nothing is impossible as long as you are not the one who has to do the work."

Important to me:
1. Omnirig support so that I can run HDSDR and DX4Win connected to my rig at
the same time.
2. Easy way to add additional satellite names myself
3. Easy way to add mode names myself
