[Dx4win] QSL Print Window
I've just upgraded to v8.05, and one of the problems I've encountered: In the QSL label printing window, the Print QSL Manager Labels, Print via Manager, and Print Method Labels, remain checked, each time I reopen DX4WIN, even after I have unchecked them?

[Dx4win] Country File Error
When I try opening DX4WIN, v7.02, I get failed reading country file error? Any suggestions, and please keep in mind that my computer expertise is very, very limited! Speaking with someone the phone, in order to solve this problem, would be my first choice? Please reply off the list.

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK, I will start this by admitting to being a bit of a numbskull. Having just had a major submission move on by ARRL, I adjusted my log to accept the credits, and have spent AN AGE trying to get the 2 sets of data to match ! I nearly got there; but not quite - 1 mismatch. I am glad I actually checked the ARRL entered data, since there were mistakes made, that needed correcting So, I thought what's all the checking utility stuff anyway? (Bob Pease expression; if you never saw the articles and his words of wisdom; worth looking up). The utility is very easy to use; followed the instruction to the letter; found my problem in minutes !!! It did complain at the exception , FJ, by the way, but it didn't affect the operation. Thanks a lot, Jim, I guess it wouldn't have been written if it wasn't going to be useful !!! 73 Dave G3NKC

[Dx4win] HP 1500
My trusty HP3820 bit the dust, and I purchased a new HP1500. I've been unable to find any information in any of the HP help files, regarding printing direct on QSL cards, using the settings that I was using for the 3820? The salesman assured me that it was capable of printing direct to cards, and I find postcard settings, in the printer settings, but they don't seem to be compatible with DX4WIN? Any assistance, off the list, preferably, would be appreciated. Thanks. 73, Shelby - K4WW From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jul 1 21:05:48 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Alan Zack) Date: Sat Jul 1 21:14:17 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] Bugs I reported in 7.02 In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I read this something went off in my memory. Now I recall this is exactly how it worked in ver 7.01 also. In other words, it did not work as advertised, but as Chaz describes in his bug report. I did the same work around by putting http://www.qrz.com/ in box boxes also. Chaz Cone, W4GKF wrote: DX4Win-ers: I thought I'd pass these along so others might not redundantly send them in. These are observed and easily reproduced in 7.02; they were present in 6.x as well. 1) Preferences/Ext Data If you use Website callsign lookup you must put something in both the Callsign lookup address field AND the QSL manager lookup address field. If you don't, pressing F3, Enter from the QSO window does nothing. Here's the way this is supposed to work (according to the User Guide) : If the field with focus in the QSO window is ANYTHING OTHER THAN the QSL manager field, pressing F3 followed by Enter is supposed to do a callsign lookup on the website you chose in the Preferences/Ext Data/Callsign lookup address box. If the field with focus in the QSO window IS QSL manager, pressing F3 followed by Enter is supposed to do a QSL manager lookup on the website you chose in Preferences/Ext Data/QSL manager lookup address. It doesn't work that way. In my case, I used http://www.qrz.com for the Callsign lookup and http://www.qrz.com/callsign?qsl= in the QSL manager lookup (as instructed in both the online help and the User Guide). There are two problems: No matter where the field focus is in the QSO window, pressing F3 and Enter always goes to the QSL manager lookup address. Paradox: If you only want to do a Callsign lookup, you can never do a Manager lookup because you must put http://www.qrz.com/ in BOTH the Callsign lookup box AND the QSL manager lookup box. The workaround is to put http://www.qrz.com/ in both the Callsign and QSL manager lookup boxes. If you do that, at least F3, Enter does the callsign lookup. And, while I'm whining, I asked that the F3 followed by Enter be changed to just F3. The Enter keypress shouldn't be necessary. 2. Country Window position (dual monitor setup) When you ask that DX4WIN remember window position by Preferences/Screen and using the Leave all windows in original position checkbox, it does not affect the Country window. No matter where you move it to, when you exit it comes back to the middle of the left-hand screen (approximately). Note:this only behaves as described on my dual monitor setup. And, while whining, the wording for the checkbox should be Leave all windows where they are on exit. Just tryin' to help..

[Dx4win] Printing Operator's Name
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (two ampersands) will be replaced by the first word of the 'Notes for the callsign'. Using this macro, you can print the name of the operator in the greeting line. Possibly, for QSL's to the same station/operator, but how about multiple QSO's, to multiple stations/operators? 73, Shelby - K4WW

[Dx4win] Differences of versions
Wendell Wyly - W5FL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you downloaded the demo of Version 6 and can see no difference, then you may be happy with what you have. I would not be. Look at the help file in the demo version 6 and you will find over 11 pages that describe the differences starting at version 4. When I need to read 11 pages of differences, when what I have (v4.06) does all I need, why should I waste my time? I have seen far too many problematic changes discussed on this reflector, to convince me: if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Just my opinion! C'Ya, Shelby
[Dx4win] Importing a contest file and not getting state information
Yep, you have to run Marek's WL2DX4WIN program to convert your WriteLog file to ADIF for DX4WIN that will import the state info correctly. Is there something, for use with WF1B, that will do the same thing? C'Ya, Shelby
[Dx4win] LOTW Test
Ted Sarah - W8TTS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So far I haven't found it very user friendly. But, I have a couple of friends that use computers for logging, and are as computer literate as a brick. I would hate to have to try and explain how to use LOTW to them. And to that, I add: IMHO, the greatest fault among those that put these things together, is the erroneous presumption that all are as literate as they are! I consider myself part of the brick, and have chosen no to upgrade from DX4WIN v4.06 simply because of the horror stories I see pertaining to problems caused by upgrades! Memo to the authors: If you want to sell me something new, better make it very user friendly! C'Ya, Shelby
[Dx4win] DXCC Award Submission problem
Duane A Calvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is where I spend an evening or two reconciling my DX4WIN listing against the ARRL's once I receive the listing back from them. Not being a computer friendly person, I was not even aware of the DXCC Submission utility! I have gathered much valuable information from this, and other reflectors, but if I find one major flaw in most contributors, especially those that are computer literate...y'all are under the errenous belief that others have your computer expertise! This flaw, IMHO, also exists in most software authors? When some of the first wording I read in a help file is we assume you know...I need not read any further! If I knew, I wouldn't be reading the help file! Please don't take this as being critical to your offers to help, but when help is offered, it must be on the same level of expertise as the one requesting help? I'm sure that I'm in the minority...please continue to post your assistance for all to read, and I will continue to read and, hopefully, put it to use. I purchased DX4WIN to do two (2) things...keep my log and print QSL labels, and it does that wonderfully! I still use v4.06, and am reluctant to upgrade simply because of the fear of losing what I have! I have neither the experience, confidence or desire to experiment or fix what is not broke!
