Ed, Here are my answers to your questions:
1. You can enter by hand. Version 9 supports db signal reports. Just enter -01 for example instead of 599. 2. Yes, you should log FT8 QSOs using the db format for signal reports. That is the accepted norm. Even LOTW supports that format. 3. Yes, I just import the wsjt-x log file directly into DX4WIN-- just like N1MM+. DX4WIN will add the db formatted signal reports (if you are using Version 9). No, I never clear the log file in WSJT-X. When you import the log into DX4WIN the default option is to ignore all duplicates. So any previous contacts are ignored by DX4WIN and only any new ones are added on each successive import. 4. DX4WIN does not currently interface with JTAlert. I wish it did! Alternatively, WSJT-X supports UDP broadcast of logged contacts. Some other logging programs use this feature to automatically pull in new contacts from WSJT-X. I wish DX4WIN would do that. 5. Not sure about Jim's script and XP. You will have to ask him. I hope this helps. 73, Dave, N4QS -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ed Stratton Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2018 9:09 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Logging FT8 qsos in V9 ok, newbie to FT8. Made my first FT8 Qso last night, I think (lol) WSJT has the CAT control of my FTdx5000, so when I bring up DX4win, I get the com error, and just close it a move on, so that DX4Win comes up and runs normally without CAT radio control. Not sure if this ok or not, but seems no harm no foul. My PC is running XP, DX4Win v9, and WSJT. A few questions: 1), I just did an 'off line' QSO addition to the log file in DX4Win. Is that how it is done, manually every time? Since you can't 'grab' the WSJT QSO information with a click to import into DX4Win. 2). I just logged this qso as FT8, with 599s each way. Did not log the db received information that WSJT provided, I assume that 599 is not the way to report the FT8 levels. 3.) Do you just log all FT8 QSOs in WSJT, and then Export / Import the WSJT adi file into DX4Win? (just like you would do for N1MM+ etc) a.) If yes what does the RST send and received look like in DX4Win for this import? Is there a SCREEN shot I could reference somewhere to visually look at? b.) Is yes, after the import into DX4Win, do you go back into WSJT and clear the .adi log, so that next export / import you don't get a duplicate message in DX4Win? 4.) I have been reading about JTalert, this program seems to have the ability to provide a logging 'channel' between WSJT and some other logging programs. Does or will DX4Win have this capability? Is so is there documentation available for setup? 5.) Lastly I did see Jim's W10 script for moving qso automatically from WSJT into DXWin, would that work on XP platform? Thanks in advance for responses, please do a REPLY ALL, so everyone can read your responses to my Qs above. -- 73's Ed W1ZZ w1zz...@gmail.com http://www.qrz.com/db/W1ZZ <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam paign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam paign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to n...@vci.net 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:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
