Reading the help file simply didn't help. and later followed up with: Got no answers so let me pose a question. Today I see a CN on 20 meters as priority 4 yet that country is confirmed on 20. I see others listed as priority 4 for which I have no confirmation on the band shown in the spot. How do I get DX4WIN to distinguish between these? There are 9 spot priorities, from highest to lowest: 1. Entity never worked on any band or mode 2. Entity never worked on this mode 3. Entity never worked on this band 4. Entity worked but not confirmed on this mode 5. Entity worked but not confirmed on this band 6. Entity never worked on this band AND mode (ie. 40-CW or 20-SSB) 7. Entity worked but not confirmed on this band AND mode 8. Entity confirmed (but this call not worked) on this band AND mode 9. This call already worked on this band AND mode When a spot comes in, DX4WIN goes down the list from 1 through 9 to see which is the first true statement, then assigns that priority.

[Dx4win] TS -2000 and Rigblaster
Hi Although I will get my Extra Class Ticket this month I am still new to a lot of ham activities. I will receive next week a Kenwood TS-2000 and a Rigblaster Plus. The Rigblaster will be connected to my P4 computer in my shack and I can connect it to the internet if necessary. I plan to use DX4WIN to log my voice and CW contacts but I also want to use my new equipment for PSK31 and RTTY (I may also want to send and receive CW with my computer). I would like to end up with the best setup to operate this TS-2000, RigBlaster, computer, internet system with the best software without using a bunch of different programs. From what I have read I need at least one program for the digital communications and MixW seems to be the most versatile software for this purpose. From what I understand, MixW has its own logging program but I don't want to use one log for voice, another for digital and maybe another for contests. If anyone has any tips or specific suggestions for configuring my setup I would certainly appreciate the input and discussion. 73s de Gary KG4STY
[Dx4win] TS-2000
Thank you very much for the quick response regarding the computer = control of my TS2000. The problems were cured mainly based on two different advices: a) An updated .rig file that was mailed to me. b) The RST box must be checked in the radio setup window. Now everything is working OK.=20 Thanks everybody for the help. Now I have the next question: I am used to working DX4WIN connected to a cluster on the 2m band and is = very fond of the possibility to set the radio to the cluster frequensy = with a mouse click on the cluster station. I will now try to setup the = TS2000 in this way. I intend to use the TS2000 sub band for packet connection to the 2m band = cluster via DX4WIN and also use the computer to control the main band = via DX4WIN. As I understand the computer can only control the radio via the radio = COM port and not the built in TNC simultaneusly. My solution will be to use an external TNC (KAM) connected to the ACC2 = connector. Audio output from sub-receiver to TNC on pin-1 (SANO), PTT = connected to pin-9 (PKS) and audio input from TNC to sub-transmitter on = pin-11 (PKD), ground to pin-4/pin-8. I will then work the cluster station on the main band via SSB,CW, RTTYor = PSK31 without the need to shut of the sub-band. Basically I will use the TS2000 as a twin radio setup. I hope this is = possible, but before using a lot of work to make a trial and error test, = please help me with information of your setup. 73 de Erik/SM0JCA --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
