[Dx4win] Special keys Ctrl-Enter
Hey all, I find myself constantly looking trough the help file and manual to find a key associated with a particular function. They are called 'special keys.' Is there a summary of all of these special keys and their functions? Or a function and it's associated assigned key, if there is one. Second question: The return to last frequency function is defined as ctrl-Enter. I can't get this to work. Any tips or suggestions? Thanx for your time in reading this blurb.

[Dx4win] Log corruption due to operator error.
Let me preface this by saying (or implying) that there is something wrong with dx4win 803, there isn't. I tried to upgrade to 8.03, following Jim, AD1C's upgrade tips, and somehow I munged the log. Not only was the new log in 8.03 corrupted but the log in 8.02 was also. Fortunately, I have a backup on another networked machine. I use the 'sync' feature of the SyncBack update app. which allows me to maintain a 'synced' (or mirrored) copy of what is on the master, and vice-versa. I turned off the update program before I upgraded, so I still have a working copy of Dx4Win 8.02. My sanity check after an upgrade, is to see if the the DXCC needed report produces the same list, before the upgrade. One thing that is common between both versions is the country file. Maybe this is where I went wrong? Could it be that I used the wrong copy of dx4win.cty? Sorry for taking up bandwidth describing my particular situation. Maybe it could be apropos to other users. No doubt, this is a result of operator error :-) Any ideas?

Re: [Dx4win] Log Sync
Hi Ralph, I use an inexpensive program, SyncBase by 2BbrightSparks, to sync Dx4Win on 2 networked computers. The program runs in the background, and monitors changes to any Dx4Win files I specify the program to keep in sync. I don't sync the country files or the Dx4Win.INI files because I ran into hassles syncing those files. The details of which I won't go into here. In addition, the program does great backups. The program can do full, incremental and differential backups. I do incremental backups on each machine. Here is the link to 2BrightSparks' home page: http://www.2brightsparks.com/ Based on the response you're getting on the reflector, this is only one possible solution to keep your Dx4Win files in sync. Good luck with whatever solution you employ.

I would like to use one, single log file at all the positions and use different groups to differentiate stations or positions. To keep an updated, current log at each station/position, I've come up with the following scheme: I use the free program, Dropbox, to hold files that I want to share between computers and keep files updated on each computer. I operate and log QSO's to a Master log. I then copy this log to Dropbox. When I start operating from another station or location, I copy the Master log from Dropbox to my SAVE folder. I operate and start the process over again, copying the new log to Dropbox and allow the program to make updated log files available on each of the station computers --- for that matter any computer on the planet. Is this a safe, reasonable way of have one, current, updated log shared by several positions and stations? Is there a better way? Thoughts and ideas appreciated.

[Dx4win] Version 801 LoTW Import
Hey all, I did my first import of LoTW data and noticed that the Conf field isn't set to Y, but rather, is left blank. What happened to the UplCnfm field that existed in Ver 7? In Ver 7, both the Confm and Uplcnfm were set to Y when LoTW data was imported. Why is the Confm field in Ver 8 not set after a LoTW import? Thanx for taking time to read this email. 73 de Walt - K2WK __ 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] Icom 756 Pro III Grabbing spots.
Hi Jim, The CW pitch control changes the offset I use for copying CW. Let's assume I am using 500 Hz for the CW pitch and the CW pitch control is set to 500 Hz. Assuming I'm on CW and I grab an SSB spot by double clicking an SSB station in the DX spots window which happens to be on 14,250.00 kHz. The VFO goes to 14,244.50 kHz. If I double click the spot again, the VFO moves to 14,250.00 kHz, the correct frequency. The same problem exists when going from SSB to CW. If I grab a spot on 14,005.00 the VFO moves to 14,005.50 again offset by the value of the tone of the CW pitch control. Double clicking on this CW spot moves the VFO to the correct frequency, i.e. 14,005.00. RIT and XIT are turned off, Split is off and I'm deeply puzzled by this behavior in version 7.06. To prove to myself I wasn't totally nuts, I went back to Version 7.05 and spot grabbing works flawlessly. Evidently, a bug crept into Version 7.06 that wasn't present in previous version. As always, Jim, thank you for your continued support.

[Dx4win] Spots B4 my eyes
Oh yea, how do I edit the rig database. I can find no value of 100ms in the editor, except for the timeout of 5 seconds. What are we the beta test site for the new versions of this product? Sounds like Windows philosophy, if no one notices al is AOK. Disgrumbled Regards, Walt Kornienko - K2WK ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
RE: [Dx4win] Freq doesn't change properly when clicking a spot.
I don't understand why ALL the rest of us have to change when you made adjustments for just 2 radios. Maybe this is why Steve washed his hands of this product.

Hi all, Yes the CAT part of the program is changed , Paul and I spend much time in solving the problem For the OMNIVII rig and the K3 rig, but didn´t found or have any problems with my IC7800. If you are aware how to change a rigfile via the radio database (closed log ) you can try to give a little delay (100ms) next to the command line for set vfo A or set vfo B or set mode or set mode B make sure you make a backup of the rigfile first !!! In the omniVII file we had to put a 100ms delay in one cmdline because the radio couldn´t process the correct sended commands.
