[Dx4win] Change QSL Method Field

[Joe Young]

I want to do a Global Edit on the QSL Method field. On page 91 of the 
existing manual, that choice is shown. When I do the following from the QSO 
window: QSO: Multiple QSO Operations: a list appears but is does not contain 
the Change QSL Method option. DX4WIN  8.05. Is there another way
to accomplish this? Thanks, Joe.

[Dx4win] Winkey

[Joe Young]

I am trying to setup WinKey with DX4Win. The winkey works fine on  the same 
computer with another logging program. 
It uses Com Port 5. In DX4Win CW setup I have Device type set to Winkey, In 
software CW keying/ptt control
I have NONE 0 NONE NONE, External keyer port = com 5. Save changes and exit. 
Exit DX4Win, Run DX4win again. 
Note says winkey not responding. Using another logger  with Winkey selected 
(same computer, interfaces, etc.) and com5 all works fine.
I am missing something? Thanks, Joe.
(I did get the rotator to work OK, so there is some progress.)

Re: [Dx4win] Winkey

[Joe Young]

Thanks for all the help. All is working OK. I had made a dumb mistake when I 
forgot to disable all the I/O from the previous logger program. As you said  
You can't share ports.

Hi Joe,

First, WinKey can only be used by one program at a time -- COM ports
can not be shared.  Is it connected to a USB port on your computer,
with a virtual COM port created by the USB driver, or do you have a
real serial COM port between the computer and the WinKey?

Your setup looks and sounds correct.  I can't see my exact setup at
home, but it's working fine for me.  I'll try to remember to check my
settings when I get home.

- Jim

[Dx4win] Linking to DXTELNET

[Dx4win] Counties - More

[Joe Young]

Following the recent thread about County Hunting/Tracking and DX4WIN:
MRC's (Mobile Reply Cards)...I have been transcribing QSO data from DX4WIN to
MRC forms manually and tracking the MRC by assigning a number to it and 
recording that
number in the RCVD field of DX4WIN. I have to admit that this is a 
rudimentary and laborious
method to accomplish this task. Has anyone developed a better approach or 
any useful shortcuts
to make this an easier task?

Thanks and 73 de Joe, W6RLL.

[Dx4win] Radio Control IC-756 Pro II

[Joe Young]

Thanks to Jim, N7US, all is working fine now.

Results:  Radio adx 64h, 19200 baud, RTS high, 8/N/1

This is for Icom 756 Pro II users:

My FT-1000MP is in for repairs. In the meantime I am setting up an IC-756 
Pro II as a replacement.
In Preferences, Radio 1, I have chosen  756 Pro from the Icom menu and 
accepted the defaults given.
There is no communication between the computer port and the 756. I had no 
problem at all with the
FT-1000MP. Anything obvious that I am missing. ( I have the PRO II working 
at the basic level...while
reading the instruction manual). Thanks de Joe, W6RLL.

[Dx4win] Upgrade

[Joe Young]

Is there an upgrade to DX4WIN due out soon? I thought that I heard that it 
would be
ready for Dayton. 73 de Joe, (W6RLL).

[Dx4win] V 6.02

[Joe Young]

I saw something on here to the effect that there were problems with the DX 
spotter in the DX cluster area.
I have not paid close attention to the spots other than to note that it 
finds new ones for me and
announces them. What am I overlooking?  I am looking at other programs but 
I know it will be
difficult to leave DX4WIN after having used it for so long. It really is a 
great program and very stable. Functionally
it does just about everything I need and it is very easy (for me) to use. I 
have to admit that sometimes I get
tired of the same window colors. Thanks for reading this.

[Dx4win] Free Software for County Hunters

[Joe Young]

Hello,

  List members may be interested in the County Hunter program that I have 
developed for my own use. It is
written for those (like me) who use DX4WIN for logging and WriteLog for 
contesting. The program finds any
new counties that you have worked in a contest and outputs, via DX4WIN, QSL 
and address labels for those
new counties that were found.  The program is free and details may be seen at:

  www.w6rll.com

Click on Interests and scroll down to the W6RLL section where you will 
find a description of the program.

[Dx4win] Award Definitions

I am looking for a source of pre-defined award filesother than those 
that come with

Thank you and 73 de Joe, W6RLL

[Dx4win] Awards

[Joe Young]

I notice that under the REPORTS, CUSTOM, LISTING,  there are many awards 
that can be tracked.
How do I enable tracking one or more of those awards?  For example Zone 40 
Award. I have
37 zone 40 contacts in my log but none appear on the zone 40 award report.

Thanks and 73 de Joe, W6RLL
