[Dx4win] How do voice announcements check hardware?

2003-02-03 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Larry Alkoff)
In my DX4Win 5.03 manual it talks about how DX4Win checks to see if sound is enabled on the computer and, because the software check sometimes gives erroneous results, there is a way to bypass this check. Specifically under the topic Voice | Audio/Voice it says: Audio / Voice If a sound card

The use of the file \dx4win\dx4win.dxb which is deleted when a normal termination takes place is quite useful to recover from crashes in cases where the log file has not yet been written to disk. However when a control-s is done and the program subsequently crashes with no changes to the log, the

I also have had the same problem for quite a while and it's quite annoying. My setup has a cablemodem and router. I believe that the telnet source asks for periodic acks and times out when the ack doesn't come. I would like to see dx4win changed to re-connect automatically when such a time-out

I wish the callsign alert box would take wild cards similiar to the way the F8 search filter does. So if I wanted to select all the new VP8 activity it could be VP8* or *VP8* This has the nice side benefit of allowing one to follow the activities of a targeted station. Even if he has been
