[Dx4win] upgraded to Vista issues with 8.02?

2009-12-12 Thread george
I upgraded my computer from XO to Vista and now version 8.02 is having 
issues with reading the .TCP file in the associated SAVE folder.

When I look at the file with notebook I see the keep alive |3 at the end 
of a entry. When I click on the packet window  in DX4WIN the entries do 
not contain the |3 that I put there???

I have reverted to version 8.01 and it reads the .TCP file in it's save 
folder just fine.

Also, why all of a sudden did an L show up for my latest contact with 
EY7AF in the listings, and other contacts window?

I see that DX4WINhelp is no longer available in Vista.

You probably need to reinstall in a new DX4Win directory that is NOT 
under program files or program files (86)

I would suggest that you do a re-install then move your files over as 
per AD1C's instructions...

The problem is the improved security in Vista restricts access 
permissions in the Program* file hierarchy.

Re: [Dx4win] Side Tone Keyer

2009-12-12 Thread Mel
It's a reminder of how log D4W has been around. There are still a few 
artifacts of an earlier age in the way D4W works.

It reminds me of the first time I saw a PC with sound. I was very 
impressed... it was an Apple! Must have been in the early nineties which 
is probably when Paul wrote the CW routine ;-)

 DX4Win generates the CW using the PC Speaker in the computer
 enclosure. This is NOT connected to the sound card... it is a simple
 programmable beeper dating back to the earliest PCs and is used, for
 example, to issue POST BIOS warnings.

 If you are not hearing the CW your PC speaker may not be connected... or
 perhaps your PC doesn't even have one.

 I have suggested to Paul (a long time ago) that he consider supporting
 CW through the sound card. I imagine it's somewhere on his todo list...

 I now have DX4WIN(still ver 7.05) loaded now on my PC and laptop (

 However, the Keyer does not emit a sidetone (Sidetone Checked in 
 Keyer module).  I hear voice spotting on new band countries on the 
 speaker, but the speaker does voice the keyer characters.
 Any suggestions?

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Version 8.03 is available

2009-12-12 Thread ON4AOI
Some more comments about the following

 CW Keyboard
 
 · Better error message when COM port is not available; avoids problems
 closing the program when using WinKey.

Even when you change a comport in preferences when dx4win is running
it will check instantly and stops also the previous selected port.  


 General
 · Better protection against starting multiple instances of the program
 (avoids license file errors)

Its not better Paul, its perfect now, I have tried so many different ways
But can´t get it starting twice. So DEMO MODE should be gone forever
if you have a valid LIC

Those sound like file permission problems.  Don't install DX4W80x in the 
Program Files (x86) directory, install them as suggested at the root of 
the drive, ie. C:\dx4w802

 Also, why all of a sudden did an L show up for my latest contact with
 EY7AF in the listings, and other contacts window?

Did you merge your preferences (INI file) from the old version to the 
new version?  Check the QSO tab of the Preferences, it sounds like you 
have Label checked in the Label/Upl Flag box.
