[Dx4win] Question regardin QSLing
Hi Hams please apologize, but I have still my problems regarding qsling. I would like to send every stn for the first mode / band QSO a qsl. So I choose DX allband/mode. What I noticed is, that the domestic cards will not be marked. What can I do that every new station gets a card? How can I include the domestic DL stations?

[Dx4win] F2 functionality
Hello all. Is this a bug ? I have been using DX4WIN version 1.2 since 1996 - was very pleased with this software and decided to upgrade to 8.02. Now 8.02 version is installed. I discovered that F2 key doesn't work as it should. If go to Preferences F2 key and put a mark only for MARK QSO AS CONFIRMED, If I use ( pres) F2 in the QSO window the software changes Cnfm field to Y, but at the same time it changes Label filed to Y (means for label printing) But the label printing has separate mark box in the PreferencesF2 key setting menu and it's not marked.

[Dx4win] F2 Key operation not correct - V8.02
Blank I saw a note earlier where someone was having problems with the F2 key operation; just catching up on QSL chore; and I think I have found a bug (=undesirable feature!) In DX4Win 7.06.02 : Preferences: F2 Key has Mark QSO as confirmed box checked; Labels drop down set to Y Observed operation Search QSO to be confirmed (F8) Press F2, Label = Y, no QSL date set, Cnfm changes state to Y So, correctly, DX4Win has flagged that the QSO is not confirmed, and prepared a QSL for printing. In DX4Win 8.02 Preferences : F2Key has both Mark QSO as confirmed Mark for printing a Label checked. (Set QSL date has no consequence for this issue) Observed operation Search QSO to be confirmed (F8) Press F2 Key; Cnfm is set to Y immediately; and dialogue box says QSO confirmed already, set label flag? This operation should, and was previously automatic; it is not a repeat QSL! Has anyone else spotted this; has it been reported yet ? 73 Dave Sharred G3NKC __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] rstS_rstR field entry when SSB
Lost a good feature in the v 8.02. In the old version V1.2, when use Real-time ( F9) or Off-time entry and SSB mode - rstS and rstR fields set to two digit (59) After entry in the field rstS two digits (e.g. 59) the cursor jumps to the next field rstR - this was in the old 1.2 version. In the new one (8.02) when use Real-time ( F9) or Off-time entry and SSB mode rstS and rstR set also to two digit, BUT, after enter to the field rstS two digits (e.g. 59) the cursor stays here and I need to use TAB key to get in the next field as well as to get out of the rstR. And this is needed to repeat with every logged QSO. It slows down logging. This Tab key is not needed when CW, but when SSB. Is this the way for ever, or some settings can help to solve this ?

Re: [Dx4win] Headings
DX4WIN beam headings are referenced to the geographic North Pole - 90 degrees North Latitude. There is no way for DX4WIN to know the heading to magnetic north from your particular QTH. I am not aware of ANY program that can do this. What DX4WIN should have, and I can't find it at the moment, is a way to program an offset into the rotator control. Then if your antennas were aligned to magnetic North, DX4WIN could compensate for this. Maybe Guy ON4AOI knows if such a feature exists. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] rstS_rstR field entry when SSB
It has been this way in DX4WIN for some time. There are many cases where you need to enter a 3-digit RST for SSB contacts, i.e.: Aurora: 57A 73 - Jim AD1C On 10/17/2009 7:41 AM, LY2CX wrote: Lost a good feature in the v 8.02.

Re: [Dx4win] [LOGic] [K3] Configuring Time Keeper
You do have to change ports under preferences... I assume you have done that... the program doesn't ask anything. Older versions ignored port numbers greater than 8. I can think of no reason why the latest version would not work unless the com port is above 32. Tim wrote: Mel, Thanks for your reply but the computer is recognizing the hardware. Seems that the program itself doesn't ask for the new port/baud rate and, therefore, doesn't see the port I'm using. It used to work before I changed ports but can't get the program to reset the port. I'll keep working on it. Thanks again.

I turned off LOGic which also interfaces with the K3 so nothing else is connected. Any ideas on how to reset the serial port for this program? Thanks. Tim K5OI p.s.

[Dx4win] CW Keyboard
Hello, I have been using the DX4Win program since it first came out on the market. Great logging program. One of the earlier updates, Version 6.xxx, I noticed a problem with the new update on the CW Keyboard. I use to be able to change the CW Speed with the plus or negative key on the keyboard and it would change while the program was still sending the CW. Today while loading my macros into the Version 8.02 I found I had the same problem. But I found that my problem was not a real problem anyway. While in the CW Keyboard you can change the speed with the plus or negative key on the keyboard while the program is not running the CW. . . . But if you want real-time speed change you can do it with the Alt + F9 or Alt + F10 keys while the program is running. So my problem was really not a problem except for not exploring the program to it full capacity. Keep up the Great Work guys!!! 73 Ron de WB3AAL __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] Question regardin QSLing
Hi Franz, I have excatly same problem here, DX all band/mode marks everything else than OH qso's (ie your own dxcc). I think there is no easy way to solve this, maybe you can make some custom award and mark domestic qso's with it, but I am not sure if it's possible at all, as I am not expert with dx4win. One way to overtake problem is find a friend from other dxcc and send your log to him, for mark qso's... Do not upgrade version 8.01 or 8.02, as there is no DX all band/mode feature at all!!!
