Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card???
Tnx Larry for your response. I understand the Newer Versions have that feature, but not the case with earlier versions like 5.3 that I run, oh well... 73, de Bernie/WO2N.> - Original Message - From: "Larry Gauthier (K8UT)" To: "wo2n" ; Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 11:13 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card??? > Bernie, > > I have "PJ*" in my callsign alert field and it works fine here... version > 8.04 > > -larry > K8UT > > -- > From: "wo2n" > Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 8:29 AM > To: > Subject: [Dx4win] Wild Card??? > >> Hi Anyway of setting callsign alert like PJ* to get all the PJ to come >> up >> on dx window as Red alert NEW???

Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card???
Hi Jim, In version 5.3, the PJ* don't work as a "wild card". I tried for 1 hr today,different ways to Alert,other than a Known Full Callsign. Guess the is no way to adjust it. 73, de Bernie/WO2N.> - Original Message - From: "Jim Reisert AD1C" To: "wo2n" Cc: Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:43 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card???

The spots will come up as black-on-yellow (i.e. new all-time, never worked). Even if you work the station, it will STILL come up as black-on-yellow the next time. This has worked since Version 7, maybe earlier. The yellow/blue/red spots work fine for me with the latest country file. Just work all the PJ stations you hear that are not gray-on-white or black-on-white. Using the wildcard, you'll have to check each call to see if you have worked them before, not as effective IMO. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ 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] Wild Card???
A, I guess I never used a wild card before with DX4. I must have used known callsigns in the alert box. Placing a known FULL callsign in the alert box does work. BUT we don't always know the callsign B4. Tnx so much for your extra effort, and putting this issue to sleep, hi. 73, Bernie/WO2N.> - Original Message - From: David Kozinn To: wo2n Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Wild Card??? The help info I gave you was from 8.04, which is what I'm using. As it turns out, I have the manual from 5.01 and in the callsign alerts section it doesn't say anything about the ability to use wildcards.

If you have the updated country file from AD1C they should show up flagged in the appropriate colors whenever they appear. If you had them as a callsign alert it'd show up on every spot, which I'd assume would get annoying pretty quickly. However, here's the help file info for that field: Callsign Alert If you specify a callsign in this field, DX spots will be monitored for this callsign regardless of band or mode. The spot will have the same color as if it was a new country. Multiple calls can be specified by separating the calls by a comma. In addition, you can use the '*' (asterisk) as a wild character match as the first or the last character in a callsign. For example, the string P5*,*/P5 will match any North Korea station, including a portable callsign. In addition to callsigns specified in this field, callsigns specified in the membership list using the '@' character can be treated as if they were specified here. You will also have to enable the 'Check @ callsigns' option on the Packet2 tab.
