Re: [Dx4win] Call Sign/Name look up
OK, after some experimenting, I see what this command REALLY does. It does NOT automatically populate the QSO window (which is what I thought KE9L was asking foras in enter a callsign in the QSO windowand the name and address info fill in the QSO window "automatically"). Rather, what this command does is allows you to "automatically" populate the EXTERNAL data popup window (also called the "Lookup Window")IFyou already have it open (as in, you entered the callsign in the QSO windowthen ALSO hit F3 to bring up the external data popup window). Now when you scroll between callsigns you have already enteredit updates the info in the external popup window. Or if you entered a callsign in the QSO window.ANDyou have already opened that external popup window (again, by additionally entering F3)then yes, the external window would be updated with the info of the callsign you entered. To have the info populate the QSO window, you would still have to take the extra step of hitting "update QSO". It isn't going to populate the QSO window "automatically"just the external data popup window. So, depending on what KE9L was asking, the answer may actually be "hit F3" to get the info to pop upand then if you also want it in the QSO window...hit "Update QSO". I got excited for a second there when I thought that command was going to automatically update the info in QSO window!

Re: [Dx4win] Call Sign/Name look up
I tried that, and nothing happened. Is that supposed to automatically populate the QSO window if you merely type in a call sign? It didn't work for meand I have a QRZ subscription. F3 brings up the pop up window with the info. If i hit "update QSO" from the popup window, thenit will populate the QSO window. But "automatic update" from the external data popup window does't seem to work?

Skip, With the external data window visible: Right mouse click and select automatic update from the popup menu. --Paul On Wed, Jan 1, 2020 at 11:29 AM Arthur Caswell wrote: > Hello, is there a way to setup the program so when you enter or click on a > call sign that the Name and or address will pop up?

[Dx4win] Call Sign/Name look up
Hello, is there a way to setup the program so when you enter or click on a call sign that the Name and or address will pop up? I do have a subscription to QRZ. I have the syntax in the ext data base for QRZ in preferences.
