Those that are no QSL-date are not listed. If I change the uploaddate for one of the qso's without qsl-date. I have the same result. If I set a QSL-date then the QSO appear in the logbook form.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN networking
Think about what you just wrote. OK I agree, it's a great idea if you never make mistakes. However, most of us do. DX4Win is an old design where networking was never considered. If networking is required there are plenty of loging programs that do this properly. I do occasionally operate from a second location. I just keep separate logs and merge.

I am NOT going to explain in detail how to setup all because there are always small risks and you need to spent money but I am running DX4WIN daily on 4 computers with only one log and never had any problem. In short how to: PC1 is the server (with SSD drive) You need to buy for instance RealVNC or Radmin or you can use Teamviewer(free) I have bought licenses for all 3 but prefer Radmin (screen delay is nearly 0 when using digital modes) PC1 is started up with Radmin server (I only reboot this PC once in a month, no updates allowed) DX4WIN is started and running 24/24 (with dropbox for backup etc) PC2 Here I start Radmin viewer and take over the screen from PC1 PC3 Here I also start Radmin viewer and take over the screen from PC1 PC4 PC5 - - - You can type on any computer and all others are updating without delay. After each qso I log I have the habit to use ALT-S (qso is written to disk and also dropbox is updated) Without delay means that you must have reliable network and if you do it from remote location high speed internet Guy ON4AOI -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] Namens Mel (ve2dc) Verzonden: woensdag 11 juli 2012 18:45 Aan: on4...@skynet.be; k...@arrl.net CC: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Onderwerp: Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN networking Very bad idea if the programs are open simultaneously.

Re: [Dx4win] BandMap wildly wrong freq?
some worked properly with my contest software Without knowing more about the code it might not be quite that simple. The problem is CI-V collision detection as implemented assumes no data loss other than via collision. This assumption can break down in there are hardware issues... If Paul followed the book on CI-V protocol this it might explain the problem. I suspect some programs have added some additional error checking to get around this issue. When things settle down we might get Paul's thoughts on this... but right now I suspect he has his hands full. One thing you might try, Rick, is CI-V commander. You can download it from http://www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/ It has a very handy trace feature as well as being absolutely solid communicating with Icom radios. It's a great troubleshooting tool.

Re: [Dx4win] 8.01 REPORT GENERATOR
You seem to be missing the point Larry. In the case of an electronic gamble as you put it... the M conveys nothing as ALL contacts are uploaded fairly frequently. If you also frequently QSL 100% that would also be the case for postcard gambles. But, in fact, even those who do QSL 100% often do it once or twice a year and most don't QSL 100%. Also, some awards require a card. The M or lack of it should indicate some action should be taken if you are pusuing the confirmation. Setting it to M for an uploaded contact obscures that important information. No one, so far, has proposed any logical reason why there should be an M flag for uploaded Qs.
