Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 8.02 SAME CALL Window Advice
For problem number 1 all I can suggest is enlarging the SAME CALL window while you are performing the QSO checks for the same call. Just put the cursor over the lower edge of the window and drag to enlarge it. For problem number 2 the automatic pop up help can be turned off. The function will still be available with a click of the right button of the mouse when over the SAME CALL window. BTW, I am still waiting for confirmation of a 160 mtr Baker County, OR, QSO from Joe sent with my SASE with a GS enclosed.

This is the first batch of cards since upgrading to DX4WIN 8. There are still a couple of things about the SAME CALL Window that are driving me crazy and I wonder if anyone out there knows if there are fixes for these or if they are in the works. Or, is there a way I can get this input to the DX4WIN team to seriously consider? Anyone out there who processes many cards for a large log, and NK7U's is over 250,000 qso's, will run into the same problems. The general problem is this. With a card in hand I enter the callsign into the Callsign field and then hit enter. This brings up all the QSO's with that station in the SAME CALL window so I can choose which one to confirm and set for a label in order to reply. The two issues are this. 1. DX4WIN automatically loads the OLDEST QSO into the QSO window and highlights the oldest QSO in the SAME CALL window and scrolls to the bottom of the qso list in that window. If the card is from a station with which we have had many QSO's, and all the QSO's can't be displayed in the SAME CALL window, this means the QSO I need to select is off the top of the list and I have to scroll the whole list up to the more recent QSO's. Is there a way to have DX4WIN automatically load the NEWEST QSO and display the more recent QSO's in the SAME CALL window. 2. When you start to move the cursor in the SAME CALL window a Pop Up Help is displayed saying Double-click to go to QSO. Though it disappears after a moment it often covers up the information, date and time, that I need to identify the correct QSO. Though the help is probably helpful for an occasional user it is a nuisance after you have seen it 25 times, not to mention 1000 times. Is there a way to turn this on and off? [As a comparison the DX Spots window does not have the same Pop Up Help. It is just common usage that you double click on the spot to load it into the QSO window. Why does the SAME CALL window have to have this help. It has been there for many versions now, I had hoped this issue would have been worked on by now.] Thanks everyone for your help.

Re: [Dx4win] Test something 4me?
Thanks you guys for your input and help. Got it working... Old logs coming up FB in v.8! The IDE to USB device purchased at Staples appears to be the culprit. All the log files were arriving corrupted as they were copied off the old hard drive. So, this morning when hooking the old hard drive up to a different machine which had an IDE bus, I copied my old log files off, then transfered them to the new laptop... and the logs all come up no problem. Looks like I found the latest one... with 10,805 qsos in it. SO, I'm doing much better now... Last but not least is getting a USB to 9-pin serial cable so I can have rig control... Those seem to be hard to come by for 64 bit Windows 7 machines! Ray On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Mel ve...@videotron.ca wrote: Or your hard drive might be in trouble. I hope you have back-up.

So I am counting on the new ver 8 (on win7-64bit) to be able to import,open,or merge. But I'm getting corruption. Since others here are saying it should work fine cuz it worked great for them, I now suspect my IDE-USB connection tool to not be 100pct reliable.

[Dx4win] Where is ?
Where is the toggle to have DX4Win NOT ask to save the qso as I navigate the cluster, jumping from station to station? I prefer it only save a qso if I hit Enter.
