John, I have the same problem and have not been able to resolve the issue after trying the usual suggestions. If you get it working, please post your results.

[Dx4win] QRZ Data
Guys, I hate to ask this question because, according to the archives and Jim's website, the problem was resolved in 2006. However, I can't get QRZ to work with my 7.0.3 version. I tried installing it in the root of my C drive and also the default location. I have also tried 2 different qrz32.dll files, but I am still geting the error that it can't find the data. The QRZ CDROM is the summer 2008 version. Any ideas what I need to try next? ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

[Dx4win] DXCC Submission
I'm not doing something right. I have dxcc (100), and I made double sure that the card was marked checked so it wouldn't be counted again. I really don't know how to bring up a report showing me how many new countries I have worked since my original submission. I tried submission report but that brought up 75 countries, and I know I haven't worked that many new one', and it also showed me calls that have already been submitted. I looked at those cards and they show checked in the dxcc box. Maybe DX4WIN doesn't give the type of report I'm looking for. Be kind as I have a 69 year old brain. If all else fails I'm going to do everything manually. 73.Bob Fight organized crimeDon't re-elect anyone.
[Dx4win] Multiple QSOs change on QSO NOTES
Guys, thanks for the answer. Actually, after adding the text into the QSOs I will export them (adif) to be reconsolidated in another Logging program. So separating it by groups will not help, because the resulting LOG will not be used in DXWIN any longer. I would really need to have a text somewhere in the QSO record. I thought that someone would have written a routine to add chars in the qso notes. The idea to move to a CSV file and reimport the log is good. Regards Fred Fred, You can export into a csv(txt) file and add a txt to each qso Then modify/create a filter where you import the specific text also In the QSO notes field Or Like Jim wrote give the logs a different group number Guy ON4AOI -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens py2xb Verzonden: Friday, February 15, 2008 5:24 PM Aan: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Onderwerp: [Dx4win] Multiple QSOs change on QSO NOTES Hello.

[Dx4win] I use AFSK
I use AFSK for RTTY because it was the easiest to do and only used a sound card. Of course AFSK uses LSB and DX4WIN see' this as SSB, so when the contact is over and before I log the contact I switch my Kenwood TS-850sat over to FSK, this changes the mode in the logging program to RTTY and then I save it. Obviously this is fine for the occasional RTTY contact, but during a contest this is somewhat of a pain. I'm wondering what it would take to go FSK. Is there some unit I can buy to interface the computer and rig. I have a Rigblaster, but that doesn't do FSK. Anyone care to tackle this ...Bob Fight organized crimeDon't re-elect anyone.

I find it interesting that we've not heard from the programmers - at least, not that I've seen. And thank you to Jim for at least looking into this situation and trying to find an answer.

I, too, lost state/county info, BUT not 100% (and I don't see a pattern as to which Qs still have the info vs those that don't), It would be interesting to know if the data truly are gone, or if they're in some file somewhere, and DX4Win is just not able to read things correctly - and a fix can be had Steve In a message dated 12/26/2007 7:54:30 P.M.

[Dx4win] CONTACTS ADDED TO DXCC ERRONEOUSLY
Would someone please assist me with a problem that developed after I downloaded the Country file that was modified on 3 Nov., '07?? I have been using version 7.01, and the main purpose has been to secure the DXCC award. I had 84 confirmed countries as printed by Reports - DXCC - Submission. After the download my confirmed list keeps growing WITHOUT any new contacts, and the printout is now 91, and all of the 7 new ones are for Japan. These 7 new contacts did not appear all at once; they appeared one at a time, and only after I closed and reopened the program - DX4WIN. After I downloaded the new Country file, I did not merge it with the old CTY file. I simply moved the old file out of the SAVE and put the new CTY file into the SAVE folder. I believe these JA calls are being added to my award list because of an incorrect setting in the Change Award Flags. However, I do not know what settings should be use to correct this problem. Also, I do not know how to remove these 7 erroneous JAPAN contacts from the DXCC Award without removing them totally from my log. Any and all help will certainly be very much appreciated.

All my DXing for the past 10 years has been entirely as a mobile so no need for niceties like cluster work, radio control, etc. All I need is a database that keeps track of my off-line entered contacts and country score.

I like to edit the country database by hand, too... To add a new country, you may following these steps: 1) On the main menu: File Databases Countries 2) On the Country Editor: Country Add, and then fill the fields in the upper part of the window and those in the Details tab. Before going to any other tab, click on Country Update. 3) Click on the Mappings tab, then click on Mapping Add, and add any mapping prefix for the new country. You may press Ctrl-Insert or Ctrl-Delete to insert or delete a line. Before going to any other tab, click on Mappings Update. 4) If you want to add some specific callsigns to the country, click on the Callsigns tab, then click on Calls Add, and add the callsigns. As before, you may press Ctrl-Insert or Ctrl-Delete to insert or delete a line. Before going to any other tab, click on Calls Update. 5) Click on File Check for Errors, to detect any error in the database.

Set Confirmed QSO preference to Card and Upload and do a DXCC Submission. Result ~ 80 QSO's listed (OK, so far) 4. Clear all DXCC Submission flags. 5.

[Dx4win] Problems automating telnet connection
Ian, IF I'm understanding your question correctly, the solution is fairly simple: Edit the dx4win.tcp file in your Save directory (any text editor should work), and move K7AR to the top of that list. Then save. Once you start up DX4WIN, and you're ready to connect to a cluster, simply put your cursor in the cluster window (click, so the window is active) and hit the enter key 3 times. Wham, you'll be at the sign in prompt of K7AR. All you're doing is taking the default answer 3 times, so you need not type a thing. Hope that's what you're after. 73, Steve In a message dated 1/29/2007 8:52:03 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Resending this now that the server(s) appear to be up again... OK.

I brought up the 'edit function keys' window and created a 'BYE' key. That was a no-brainer.

Then I have one soft key programmed with my call. So the drill is I right click on the Packet window and then select Internet Connection, hit OK on the Select Internet Address window (since N7TR is already selected at the top of the list), hit the soft key with my call sign and then the soft key with SH/DX. Viola! Four clicks and I'm all set. (Three clicks if you don't count the SH/DX.)

[Dx4win] DX4WIN with IC-756PROIII
Could someone help me on this? I am using DX4WIN version 7.02.15 under windows 2000. I have a FT1000MP connected to the computer working fine with DX4WIN. I have installed RigTalk in order to add an Icom 756PROIII as a second radio. Rig talk has been installed successfully. The 756PROIII works 100% with TRX Manager. So RigTalk is working fine. I have configured preferences for the second radio using 756PROIII default entry, the corresponding COM port being set and a poll rate of 1000 ms (1 second). When I switch to the second radio, DX4WIN can communicate with the radio, but it is somewhat erratic. When I change bands it takes long to adjust DX4WIN band/mode (at random basis). Then I have tried the option radio|set frequency. I have realized that when pooling the frequency from the radio DX4WIN understands the frequency wrong. For instance radio is on 7035.00, but DX4WIN reads 703.500,00. Suddenly it understands correctly and at this point the band/mode is ajusted at QSO window when in real time logging (F9). Definitely there is something wrong at DX4WIN?s side configuration wise or even a glitch. Any help is appreciated. Regards Fred PY2XB

I've been a ham for over 40 years and I had no idea that there was any sentiment in the amateur community to boycott eQSL because they believe it makes a profit! I used eQSL for years without paying anything before I decided that it was a sufficiently worthwhile endeavor to support financially. I have no idea if eQSL makes a profit or not but, quite frankly, even if it does, I can not understand why anyone would object to someone making a profit for providing a lawful service which others find sufficiently useful to support. What's next? Should we urge amateur radio operators not to buy any of their equipment or supplies from any store or company that might make a profit on the sale? Since when did making a profit become bad? I am a life member of ARRL and also support and use LOTW. However, I believe that the ARRL's LOTW came into existence directly as a result of the pressure created by eQSL to move the process of confirming amateur radio contacts into the digital age. The fact is that many, many thousands of hams, including me, have found eQSL's approach interesting, useful and FAST! They use it every day. Most every other major full-featured logging program supports uploading and downloading from eQSL and DX4WIN would be foolish not to support that ability. I urge everyone to fully support both eQSL and LOTW and to post their logs to both sites. There is no cost for doing that. 73, from Marty, N1HT [EMAIL PROTECTED] From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 4 12:43:00 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Erkki Heikkinen) Date: Wed Oct 4 12:47:20 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] RE: K0PP and eQSL In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As long as ARRL doesn't credit eQSLs for DXCC and RSGB for IOTA they are of no value for serious DXers.

Green Sent: 4. lokakuuta 2006 14:38 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] RE: K0PP and eQSL Wow, K0PP's comments about eQSL really caught me by surprise. I've been a ham for over 40 years and I had no idea that there was any sentiment in the amateur community to boycott eQSL because they believe it makes a profit! I used eQSL for years without paying anything before I decided that it was a sufficiently worthwhile endeavor to support financially. I have no idea if eQSL makes a profit or not but, quite frankly, even if it does, I can not understand why anyone would object to someone making a profit for providing a lawful service which others find sufficiently useful to support. What's next? Should we urge amateur radio operators not to buy any of their equipment or supplies from any store or company that might make a profit on the sale? Since when did making a profit become bad? I am a life member of ARRL and also support and use LOTW. However, I believe that the ARRL's LOTW came into existence directly as a result of the pressure created by eQSL to move the process of confirming amateur radio contacts into the digital age. The fact is that many, many thousands of hams, including me, have found eQSL's approach interesting, useful and FAST! They use it every day. Most every other major full-featured logging program supports uploading and downloading from eQSL and DX4WIN would be foolish not to support that ability. I urge everyone to fully support both eQSL and LOTW and to post their logs to both sites. There is no cost for doing that. 73, from Marty, N1HT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

[Dx4win] ft990 rig control problem
I've been off the air for a number of months. Just getting back on, trying to figure out how everything works, and where all those wires go. I'm coming back to an issue I've had since I get my current computer. I can't get DX4Win to control/communicate with my FT-990. The set up is I've got an MFJ 5383Y cable going from the radio to a serial-to-usb converter. Brand is unknown. It's got two serial inputs and a USB output. The serial input I'm using is designated as COMM4. The computer is a Dell laptop - Latitude D600, running Windows XP Pro. DX4Win is version 6.02. Radio preferences are set up as: Yaesu FT990 address - 00 baudrate - 4800 comport - 4 poll rate 5000 max tries - 6 RTS high (I've also tried DTR high, but it doesn't seem to make a difference) DX4Win does not communicate with the radio. I can't read or change frequencies out of the program. I should note that I'm also running WriteLog 10.37 on the same computer, and that works fine with the radio, using the same hardware set-up. That would seem to eliminate any possible hardware issues as being the culprit. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar set-up or any idea what the problem might be. I like the radio and I like DX4win, so it's frustrating when they won't play nicely together. 73 de Jay, W2KD From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 10 21:52:30 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Wendell Wyly - W5FL) Date: Mon Apr 10 21:53:46 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] PROBLEM_PRINTING_MY_LOG In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wrote a book on printing and word processing several years ago and am a little sympathetic to Paul. I am certain that he sets up pages and prints them one at a time, and the duplex driver never sees the next page as a duplex print job. I downloaded a free program called Cute PDF Writer. It is a very useful program for many reasons. One, is you can print a pdf file of your complete log without wasting a single piece of paper and have it properly formatted to read next year or ten years from now. This file is much more useful than the standard print to file command. Now if you want to print the pdf file of your log, your Windows driver for your duplex printer will see it as a number of sheets to print front and back and viola, 2 page printing of your DX4WIN logbook. I always print in landscape for the pdf file and when you print on paper, it will still be nicely formatted in landscape mode. p.s. Jos, it is primarily a cw log, and quite a bit longer than one sheet. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry.Van Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 9:02 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] PROBLEM_PRINTING_MY_LOG From: G [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Dx4win] PROBLEM_PRINTING_MY_LOG To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I am having a problem with DX4WIN being able to use my HP model 8250 two sided printing.

[Dx4win] How much QSL manager data is useful?
One thing that's not easy to determine is how much of this QSL manager data is STILL valid. As a QSL Bureau manager, we get a lot of QSLs directed to managers that haven't handled a certain callsign for years. Many DX stations decide to handle their own QSLs, or some managers have to give it up due to inability to get up log info from the DX station, etc. While I suspect that the more reliable sources make a serious effort to delete manager data as needed, I also suspect that in some sources, once in, they stay in. 73, Dick, W2YE

The only LoTW/ADIF records that set the Upl_Cnf field to Y also had Y in the basic Cnfm field. If the Cnfm field was N then the ADIF import would not set the Upload Confirmed Flag to Y. BTW: Under Preferences/QSO, I have confirmed QSO's set to Card or Upload Also, I exported my entire DX4WIN file as outlined elsewhere here, so every QSO has a Y in the upload field and an upload date. DUring the import I also used the Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed Flag option. The only issue is that the import will not set the Upload Confirmed Flag to Y unless the Cnfm filed is also Y. But that sort of defeats the purpose of tracking cards and LoTW separately, so what's the point with the feature in DX4WIN?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN and LOTW
Hi John Not to my knowledge but it is quite simple using DX4win itself, first off select reports/change award flags and clear your awards flags so that you are starting from scratch (this is a one time only process) now in File/Prefrences/Qso, select Upload confirmed save changes and exit, now do a submission and this will submit all your LoTW stats, now its simple from here using Reports/change award flags again select submitted-checked now all your LoTW Q's are marked as C Clearing all award flags at the beginning only works if you dont already have qsls checked manually by the ARRL (like me) but if you have some C's already in then you should be careful what you clear first off. Let me know if you already have cards already marked as checked and i will try to get round this (i have a couple of ideas) 73s de MM0EAX Dave www.eu009.com

AW: [Dx4win] Importing WriteLog file
I have also imported Writgelog's ADIF file directly into DX4WIN for years, but the Notes for this QSO field has become so loaded with info I do not need or use. A better way, I think, is to use SP7DQR Log converter which converts the Writelog ADIF file to a new ADIF file which can be exported directly into DX4WIN. With this converter you can choose what NOTES you want to export..or no notes at all...Works great. http://sp7dqr.waw.pl/eng/index_en.html Lee, N5PO On Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:31:52 -0600 Duane A Calvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I always take it right from WriteLog ADIF into DX4WIN with no problems.

In either case, such a global edit entails exporting the log to DX4WIN6 format, editing the .DXQ (or .DXN) files, and then importing the resulting file into an empty log (use a different name). To delete all call notes, export the log, delete the .DXN file, then import the log again. To delete all QSO notes, export the log, blank every SECOND line in the .DXQ file, then import the log again. Its important to maintain the blank lines where the data you are removing used to be. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 14 20:37:17 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Darryl Hazelgren) Date: Mon Nov 14 20:43:38 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] WriteLog to DX4WIN Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for all the help guys.

Hi I've just spent over a week checking through DX4WIN's records and matching them with those of LOTW. They were out of synch through no fault of DX4WIN but out of kilter they were none the less.

However, if you brought it prior to that then yes you have to pay US$25.00 for the upgrade. 73's de Tony G8DQZ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 June 2005 08:29 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] upgrade fee Hi All Sorry if thread has been used before, but, Do I have to pay upgrade fee to use 7.01?

[Dx4win] vichw11.sys woes
I thought maybe the new version would fix my problem, but no success. Thus, I thought I'd repost here and see if anyone has any additional ideas. I run dx4win on an old windows 2000 box, normally running as a user with only Power User status. Every time I try to execute dx4win as this user I get an error, stating: Please copy the driver file: C:\Program Files\dx4w701 \DRIVERS\vischw11.sys To: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\vichw11.sys Now, I've manually copied this file to the correct directory, and still get the message. I've also made sure that the file and the directory are owned by the Power User, with full access control. Still get the error. So, in order to use dx4win I have to run it as an Adminstrative user (using Run As). I sure would rather run it under the Power User account. Anyone have any further insight? I should point out that this very old PC has the windows files loaded in c:\windows rather than c:\winnt (I think the previous owner upgraded from an older windows version). Thanks and 73! Tom, W4KX

I have a bunch to work on RTTY and instead of working them and then opening DX4Win to log them, I can do it all in one fell swoop. It's a great addition. Bill Version 7.01 was on sale at Dayton this past weekend. They did not want to create a problem by having to support what they were doing at Dayton plus the online users. They should have it up on their web page before much longer, though. Paul sent out an e-mail yesterday stating their case about doing this. All I can tell you right now is that you will have to wait until they are caught up from Dayton and get the web page updated. It seems to have not been a very big deal to the folks that have everything worked on RTTY because I got some smirk e-mails from some of those guys stating so what. But the addition of MMTTY to it is a big plus to me because I still to work 190 more countries on RTTY to have them all.

[Dx4win] Getting Keyboard CW to Work
Harry, The suggestions by Joe for a CW interface are excellent. I use the LPT port on my laptop (Windows XP, CT WIN, DX4WIN), and I have never had a problem. I have experienced issues using the USB to RS-232 converters with some applications, so I'd recommend that you give the LPT port a try.

To be able to change any fields do it as stated here: (PS: Got it from another user, and it works...)

I hope it helps you. --- Hi Carlos, I do not believe any of these are related to the trial version, they all sound normal. For op names and QTHs, you need to look in the ADIF file from DX4WIN to see what field names it uses for them. MixW uses NAME (e.g. NAME:6Carlos) and QTH (e.g. QTH:7Drammen), so that is how it expects the information to be imported. To the best of my knowledge MixW does not have fields for street addresses.

Some ADIF exports seem to involve additional fields which are not in either standard. Looking at the filter editor in DX4WIN, I can't see any way to tell which fields are expected from a file being imported. Is there some way to view fieldnames and lengths, and to know where (QSO notes, for example) various data are imported into DX4WIN? 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated 12 January 2005 2868 contest stations at http://www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htmwww.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm ___ Dx4win mailing list mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.netDx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 12 09:01:58 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Pete Smith) Date: Sat Mar 12 09:04:59 2005 Subject: AW: [Dx4win] Differing ADIF formats In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] emens.net References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think I understand.

[Dx4win] Print log for DXCC with Multi QSO's on QSL

[Dx4win] Pt 2 Print log for DXCC with Multi QSO's on QSL
Tony, How is it remotely possible for a computer program to know if your confirmations are on the same card? You have three bands to submit from P5. Are they on the same label (need to be sorted last in your submission), or are they on three separate cards (sorted with the single band groups)? Unless Paul were to write a brand new routine, and the users were willing to track this stuff, it's absolutely impossible for the program to do this. (I'm certainly no expert on other logging programs, but I'd seriously doubt that any of the others can do this task either.) As to forms/lists being used, you will absolutely have to have the forms for field checking. How else is there a record to take back to the DXCC Desk? If you mail your cards to Newington, the Qs are entered directly, negating the need for the form. 73, Steve In a message dated 2/16/2005 7:29:01 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thanks for all the replies. They are appreciated. I guess DX4WIN has never had the ability to sort cards with more than 1 QSO for DXCC submission. They need to address this issue in the next revision. I was chastised at the Orlando Hamfest because of the cards being out of order. Bill Moore, ARRL DX Branch Manager, was sitting in the next chair checking another submission he said and I quote If DX4WIN does not want to follow the ARRL procedures to submit cards then we will not allow their submissions. The other ham was also using DX4WIN. He also was told to properly sort the cards. I bought the program to log my QSO's and also do the submissions. By not properly sorting the multiple QSO's on the DXCC submission list is useless. Exporting and resorting the QSO's is what I expected the program to do. On both of my DXCC submissions the card checker DID USE THE LIST. Even Bill Moore used the list. Those trying to be helpful telling me the list is not used please call the ARRL DX desk 860-594-0234 and speak to Bill yourself. The ARRL Website has a two page DXCC submission form, DXCC AWARD APPLICATION and DXCC Record Sheet. If they weren't going to use them I doubt that they would still be on the website. Both checkers said follow the list when submitting! The cards must be in this, pointing to the top paragraph of the DXCC Record Sheet, order. First come the single cards in order then the multiple QSO's cards. The multiple cards go to the bottom of the pile.

[Dx4win] Ignore mode in real time and spots!
Hello Radi! I agree with you, but as far I'm know, there's an option to actually disable the mode window even working with the radio connected, but DX spots shouldn't affect this widow as stated on help pages: The mode for the QSO. The Mode field is initially set to the value specified in the default QSO. All QSO entered subsequently will have the same mode setting as the last QSO entered. If a radio is connected and QSOs are added in real-time, the mode is continuously obtained from the radio until the QSO is entered in the log. There is an option to ignore the mode from the radio, Main Window | Radio | Ignore Mode in real-time. This can be useful when adding RTTY QSOs for example with the radio in LSB mode. When using a mode for an award, the QSO modes are mapped to the more generic modes; CW, Phone and RTTY. Some modes, like SSTV, are mapped to phone, but it is still custom to exchange RST reports with three digits. The table below summarizes the mappings and the RST defaults. In the Pattern column, the letters have the following meaning: N Normal rs(t) as many digits as the default value A Aurora reports in the form: rsA, rsR, Rrs O Oscar reports; allows 59 for CW , and allows O as a report Mode Generic Default Pattern AM Phone 59 N ATV Phone 59 N CLOV RTTY 599 N CW CW 599 N A O FM Phone 59 N FSTV Phone 595 N GTOR RTTY 599 N JT44 RTTY O O MTOR RTTY 599 N PACK RTTY 599 N PSK RTTY 599 N PSK31 RTTY 599 N PTOR RTTY 599 N RTTY RTTY 599 N SSB Phone 59 N A O SSTV Phone 595 N FSK44 RTTY 599 N O - Tks for you help anyway.

I have the same issue here with PSK31. One solution is to uncheck all modes except the wanted one in the Preferences?Station?Mode setup and check the ignore grey spots box in Packet1 when wishing to use RTTY/PSK etc.. Then, you will see only the spots of the selected mode on the upper packet window, and still see anything received in the lower one. Not the most elegant, but is a solution if you wish to work only one mode...
