[Dx4win] 6.0x Misc.
John, I'm mixing my comments; starting with *** 1. Existing 6.02 problems (under Windows XP Home anyway) o PSK31 mouse double click still does not populate the QSO window fields properly (known bug) This has been reported previously, but typically for systems that upgraded to XP. On a number of XP systems this works as expected. Looks more like a MS upgrade issue to me at this time. o If my packet, RTTY or rotator window fails to open (local problem with USB ports and RF), the next time I open DX4WIN those windows are all over the place, not where they belong. I have to re-set them. Have to check this o The packet, and maybe RTTY, input area does not remember its size setting. It must be reset every time I open DX4WIN (already reported). *** Known issue; caused by changes in one of the libraries that I use and I have not found a work around. o PF3 causes a large DOS box to appear before the callsign/lookup window appears when DX4WIN is opened with a shortcut. Changing the Startin folder does not help. If DX4WIN is opened directly from the .exe file, no DOS window appears. This problem has also been reported. *** And I have no clue what is causing this to be different. What data source are you using? Just wondering if other XP users see the same? o Re above, if I set Automatic Update, a search begins on the first character typed with no delay, which ties things up for a while and prevents me from completing typing the call *** On-line has a warning about this; bet you have the callsign update option enabled. 2. Wish List o Green-reverse spots when not confirmed even when the contact contributes to nothing (as discussed) *** Done for the next release o Ability to copy a few lines from the packet window so I can paste them into a manager's address window *** Works for me; I think you have to be in holding mode for this to work (to stop text coming in) o Ability to customize fields and their sequence in the Same Call window (I would like to add QSL method, Label?, etc.) *** Will check that out, but not sure how much demand there is for this o See local time in the DX Sunrise/Sunset - Info window -- wasn't that there once? *** This display now uses the 'closest' info available (like state, iota). Old version only used the country information which had a somewhat 'bogus' field containing the time difference for the country with UTC. If I can estimate the local time based on the longitude we would be in business again. o Revert the map to 5.03 where I could see a highlighted country much more clearly *** Not sure what has changed here; highlighted country is shown in Yellow as was done in 5.03 o Double click on RTTY fields to populate QSO fields *** In the planning stage; had more requests for this o Use gray for disabled modes/bands only. Use black for confirmed mode and band. Be able to ignore both. *** Had a few requests for this, but not enough to make this change. Many users are used to the current setup and consequences. (Spots become gray when you work a station that was previously listed as important for example) o Station worked as part of SWL card *** This comes up so now and then, and I don't see the need for this. You confirm to the SWL that you were indeed active on that time on that band.

Customizable Same Call Window is at the TOP OF MY WISH LIST. I have sent it to the reflector but I am not sure you have noticed so sorry for saying it again. I have never received an answer like the one you gave to John's wishlist though. I would like so much to see the RSTs, QSO Notes, QSL method, Label etc...of the previous QSOs when some station calls me and I enter his call into the QSO Window. Especially on low bands - don't you guys want to see if the signal is stronger or weaker than last time??? But having started to enter the QSO there is no way you can check that anymore as that would make you lose all the data you entered into QSO window... Are me and John really the only ones behind that demand??? guys???:) 73 tonno es5tv o Ability to customize fields and their sequence in the Same Call window (I would like to add QSL method, Label?, etc.) *** Will check that out, but not sure how much demand there is for this

Re PF3 on XP pro with RAC loaded to disk... I do not see this behaviour... The PSK31 double-click seems not to work... But I've never used this feature... So I'll make sure it isn't cockpit error The lookup here is instantaneous... So maybe the first problem is with using the CD... But it makes sense that lookup begins after the third character is typed... Or perhaps on exiting the box... I think more info in the prior Q is a good idea... but not hi priority... Sun time at DX is obvious from the map if day/night is enabled... Agree re grey-black... But some of this is arguable either way... Call on SWL card... Not necessary.. But wouldn't hurt... And one more pitch for the next major release... On real time entry... F10 saves the QSO and logs start time... But keeps current QSO on screen... Enter saves QSO and sets stop time... The way it works now is perfect for Dxing... But the change would take care of casual logging and other countries logging requirements... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul van der Eijk Sent: February 12, 2003 12:12 AM To: J.

[Dx4win] 6.0x Misc.
Paul, Some observations and comments on wish list. In answer to PF3 and XP Home...yes, I am seeing the same. I use the RAC, saved to disk, and Golist. I have Callsign Update checked, and Automatic Update checked. If I open DX4WIN from a shortcut, this dos window problem exists. If I open DX4WIN from the .exe file, rather than opening a dos window, the opening and operating of a dos program shows up on the taskbar, which isn't obtrusive. With options checked as they are above, with each letter of a callsign entered, the dos program pops up on the task bar, and then dissappears, until the next letter of the callsign is typed in. My system was a XP upgrade, but I recently changed harddrives, and loaded XP onto a clean drive, so not an upgrade anymore. Would very much like to be able to customize the Same Call window with a report builder like the Logbook window. Be nice to be able to pick and chose what I see. The old map was more 'readable'. Would be nice to be able to pick which spots show in the spot window based on their priority. I.E., don't want to see spots with a priority or 7 or 8, set Ignore to 6, and only see spots with a priority or 6 or less. Possible? Great program Paul, and as I wrote to you before, it's nice to have this forum for all users to participate in, and nice to work with a company who listens to their customer base. 73 de Don W0DJC At 12:12 AM 2/12/2003 -0500, you wrote: John, I'm mixing my comments; starting with *** 1.

Don, This idea may have some merit. If, during contests or extended periods, you're only interested in new countries, it would be much simpler to filter out everything below Priority 1, than to scroll through pages of spots looking for the right color combination. (Of course, having the ability to automatically age spots would alleviate some of the scrolling pain - hint.) -- Darrell Don Currier wrote: Paul, [...snip...] Would be nice to be able to pick which spots show in the spot window based on their priority.
