[Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Either I misunderstand Mailed Cutoff or it's not working correctly in 8.01. Example: Mailed Cutoff value = 730 (days, as I understand)...so 2 years. My understanding is that any QSL Date earlier than 2007-08-29 should show up W instead of M. I have a particular QSO whose QSL date was 2000-02-26. This QSO (the only one in its band-mode combination) shows up M in the Country window. No matter the date (even ridiculous ones like 1930-01-01). The only way to make it show up W is to completely erase the QSL date field. I do have all the electronic QSL date fields blank as well. So it's not that. What I was planning on doing to work-around the M problem is I copy my log to another file, NX7U_packet.dxl and in that log I globally erase all the electronic QSL dates. I had hoped that would restore the original Mailed Cutoff behaviour but no dice. Or like I said, maybe I misunderstand how it works.

Re: [Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Hold fire on this... apparently there are some changes coming in 8.02. I believe the M can be an indication that the QSO was uploaded to LotW in 8.01... I haven't really looked at it since it's going to change... Scott Townley wrote: Either I misunderstand Mailed Cutoff or it's not working correctly in 8.01.

Re: [Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Like I said, though: the QSO in question *did not have a date entered for any form of electronic QSL*...either LoTW or eQSL. So as far as the log knew, nothing is uploaded and paper is the only thing... At 12:26 2009-08-29, Mel wrote: Hold fire on this... apparently there are some changes coming in 8.02.

Re: [Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. I tried it here and what I note is DX4Win is using the Worked cut off date instead of the Mailed cut off date to determine if the indicator should be M or L. I don't believe this is correct... at least, if it is correct, I don't understand the logic. Perhaps it is a bug.
