Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
Dave, Thanks. I was not aware of the option in WSJT to not put db reports into the comments field. One other thing to consider is that when you log a WSJT contact, you can type something into the WSJT "comments" part of the log entry. I think this field is more useful if applied to the QSO and not to the Callsign. The ADIF spec says it is about the QSO. I think DX4WIN should conform to the ADIF spec and change to import the comments field into QSO Notes in the DX4win log. 73, Paul K5ESW > Paul, > This used to bother me.

Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
Len (K1NU) noted that when a WSJT log is imported into DX4WIN, DX4WIN puts the contents of the field of the WSJT log into the DX4WIN "Callsign Notes" field. What is in the WSJT field is usually the mode and signal reports such as "FT8 Sent: +01 Rcvd: +00". This is clearly QSO-related and not Callsign-related information. When I look at an ADIF specification, it says the field is a Comment field for the QSO (not for the Callsign). I do not know why WSJT decided to put the mode and signal reports in the field because other fields already contain the mode and signal reports. DX4win imports these mode and signal report fields into the proper parts of the DX4WIN log. The problem with importing the field into the DX4WIN Callsign Notes is when you work a station multiple times. With each repeat QSO, QSO-related info is appended to what is already in Callsign Notes. With many QSOs, Callsign Notes gets pretty mucked-up with info that does not belong there. I would like to see DX4WIN make a change so that WSJT field is put into DX4WIN Callsign Notes. 73, Paul K5ESW > Never mind... I found my own answer.

Joe, W4TV -- I have two questions: 1. Does DX4WIN developer, KK4HD, have any plans to provide support for this? 2.

[Dx4win] Logbook Report Editor?
I migrated to DX4WIN 9.01. I want to modify the format of my Logbook to match the way I modified it in Ver 8. The help file says I can change which Logbook fields are shown and their order: Manage the reports that are displayed in the LogBook Window. The report that is displayed by default in the LogBook Window can be specified in File | Preferences | Reports / Labels. Reports are defined by selecting a number of fields and the sequence in which they occur. When I go to File > Preferences > Rep/Labels I get a window saying I am using Default Report Format "Logbook". I understand I am using the default, but I do not see how to change it. I see in the help files that I need to run the Logbook Window Report Editor, but I do not see how to invoke the Report Editor.

[Dx4win] Format for FT8 mode Input in ADIF file for TQSL?
I used DX4WIN LOTW > Export to LOTW. Most of the QSOs in this batch were FT8 mode. I then edited the LOTW ADIF formatted file to indicate FT8 mode on all FT8 QSOs. I noticed the file entry for a JT65 QSO mode was "JT65" so I tried "FT8" on FT8 QSOs. When I use the TQSL V2.3.1 with Configuration data V11.1, it says "Invalid MODE (FT8)" on the first line containing the new mode. Is it the "MODE:4" that is incorrect? 73, Paul K5ESW __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] Using Dx4win alert levels for DXCC Challenge?
Hi Kostas, That would work to prevent all the RTTY alerts and was how I had it set, but it gave me another problem. I saw a spot a few days ago from SV2ASP/A on 10m RTTY. My Country window showed I did not have SV/A on 10m. Later I found I had already worked SV/A a year ago on RTTY. My Country window was not showing DIG modes because I had set it that way to avoid all the new RTTY entities I did not care about. 73, Paul K5ESW just a thought... If you de-activate digital modes, you will have all rtty spots as grey spots. So no alert. Of course this does not solve the problem because you will loose any possible new band on rtty will be also grey spot. But usually someone will spot the station without the word rtty, so you have good chances to see the spot... 73 Kostas SV1DPI __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Does CW Announce work in Windows 7?
Running Dx4win 8.05 under Windows 7 64-bit, I worked on trying to get CW announcements to work long enough that I thought I was hallucinating. Then I heard some snippets of faint CW. I turned off my FM radio, the shack got very quiet, and it was not just ESP but CW at RST 219. I looked at the Dx4win screen and saw it was indeed CW announcements. Now it made sense. My new computer has a fairly quiet case (Silencio 550) and its system speaker (the internal beeper) seems quieter than most. It is a small piezoelectric speaker plugged into the motherboard. If I want to be able to copy this thing, I'm going to have to get a louder one and/or extend its cable to get it outside the case. I reran my tests of Dx4win version 7 and 8 running in the Virtual Machine - XP mode. CW announcements work in this configuration, but they come through the computer's external speakers. XP mode obviously takes commands to the beeper and reroutes them to the normal audio channels. Thanks to those who helped. 73, Paul K5ESW __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Does CW Announce work in Windows 7?
Paul, I am not sure the port driver was installed correctly. When I run LPTDriver.exe, it suggests installing into the C:\dx4w803\drivers directory. This seems incorrect. I have a demo version of Dx4win ver 8.05 installed in C:\dx4w805. What directory path should be used to to install the port driver? On my Win 7 computer, I do not have a physical LPT port. I assume one is not required if I only want to hear CW announce (not to send CW.) 73, Paul K5ESW Paul, Could it be that the port driver was not installed?

In addition to having RTTY set to Type=Regular and Port=TCP/IP, I have Packet 1 Cluster Interface set to Type=Regular and Port=TCP/IP.

[Dx4win] Lost power....lost QSO's
Jim's explanation of DX4WIN Data Protection Strategies should be required reading for DX4WIN users. I have suggested in the past that DX4WIN add an option that when set would cause DX4WIN to save (in the DXL file) each QSO after it is entered without any additional user manual input. I have not seen a response from the developers of DX4WIN as to their position on this. The value would be that you know your QSO is in the DXL file immediately. There are no complexities of it being somewhere else. For those who consider this a performance issue, the option could be left off. What do other users think about the value of adding this option? 73, Paul K5ESW On 2/17/2008 7:56 PM, Glen and Pam wrote: I will ask againIS there a way to make this logging program write to the hard after each contact?

[Dx4win] Com port needing reset?
I am using DX4WIN version 6.04 with Windows XP and an ICOM 756 Pro II. The Pro II is connected to the computer thru a homemade CI-V interface on COM3. I recently added my SteppIR control box to CI-V bus and turned on the Transceive option in the Pro II. This configuration works, but a few times the radio interface has stopped working thru DX4WIN. Start Radio will not get it going again. The Pro II is still sending out data because the SteppIR continues to track the radio. When the problem occurs, I have terminated DX4WIN and brought up the free program Commander to see if a different program can use the Com port to work with the CI-V interface. Commander does not communicate with the Pro II after the problem occurs. If I reboot XP, things are working again. Anyone have a suggestion as to what is causing this problem? 73, Paul K5ESW

[Dx4win] IC-765 control question
Not true Paul... The Mode command can simultaneously set width... but I'm sure if one can get at the necessary bytes with DX4Win... I'll take a look tomorrow. It is true according to my 3rd edition of the ICOM CI-V interface reference manual. This version includes the IC-765 as one of the radios covered. The mode data definition for the various modes is defined on Page 6 - Section 6-6 -- Mode and IF passband width tables The table preceding the IF passband width table states: For the IC 781, IC-R9000 and IC-R7000, IF passband width is selectable via the CI-V System. Other radios are not equipped with this capability. 73, Paul K5ESW
[Dx4win] IC-765 control question
We noticed that clicking on a CW spot would properly send the radio to the frequency, but would set the CW filter to Wide. Is there a modification to the radio control file for the 765 which will send the radio to the proper frequency but set the filter at Narrow? ICOM did not provide, in the IC-765 CI-V interface, a command that will set the Wide versus Narrow mode for the IC-765 IF passband. If a program sends a command to the IC-765 to set the operating mode, the 765 will set wide mode. If you can make the radio control fiileset just send the set frequency command, the mode will be left where it was previously set (such as CW-Narrow). 73, Paul K5ESW
[Dx4win] CW keying on XP thru LPT3
I have a new Windows XP system. I installed a SIIG Cyber PCI I/O card to give me an extra LPT and two extra COM ports. The additional LPT port is LPT3. When I configure DX4WIN (Version 6.02) to send CW over LPT3, DX4WIN says Cannot find LPT3 for keying. I see that LPT3 is installed by looking at the Device Manager ports. I also tried attaching a spare printer (an HP laserjet 5L) to LPT3. Windows XP added the printer and it prints OK. What does DX4WIN need to find LPT3? Paul Ferguson K5ESW
[Dx4win] Getting a copy of dx4win.tcp file
In DX4WIN 6.02, I copied in my old dx4win.tcp file. I would like to view the original 6.02 tcp file and possibly add some items from it. Is there an easy way to access this file without trying to reinstall DX4WIN? 73, Paul K5ESW
[Dx4win] Backup logs
I wish there was an option to automatically do a Alt-S type save every time you hit enter. There are pros and cons with this, and I have discussed them with Paul before, but I still wish I had this option. I too have asked for this option several times, but I have never heard the reasons adding the option would be a bad idea. Obviously it would eat a bit of performance because it requires updating the whole log after each Enter. Other than that, what are the cons? 73, Paul K5ESW
[Dx4win] Crash
The habitual use of Alt S after new entries or changes will ensure that the logbook is maintained in its most recent state and reduce reliance on the backup. I also use Alt S to make sure the logbook is updated. I would like to see DX4WIN offer an automatic ALT S. by having an option in Preferences to have a Save-to-Log done after each QSO. I am suggesting this as a convenience and not as an answer to all backup problems. I also use a UPS and tape backup. 73, Paul K5ESW
