[Dx4win] DX4WIN and FT-8

Is there a way to integrate the FT-8 WSJT-X app into DX4WIN like MMTY is done? I have recently started using FT-8 and I do import the QSOs, but would like it to work more like SSB and CW. 73, Byron __ DX4WIN mailing list Home:

[Dx4win] CAT Commands from DX4WIN

I saw your Post to the DX4WIN list.  The N1MM+ Logger supports something similar by using a logger command that tells it to send the command to the CAT interface of the radio. I am not aware that DX4WIN has this, although I do feel it would be a great feature and not difficult to implement.

[Dx4win] Default Callsign Limits

There is currently a special event station in Canada signing with a 13-character callsign, including the /VE1 prefix. But DX4WIN seems to have a 12-character callsign length limit. Is there a simple update to support this special event call? 73 es TIA, Byron

I recently redeployed my 80/160 sloper and I can't seem to get the spots for those bands. I have confirmed the spots are showing in the packet window and that the bands are checked in the packet setup preference, but no spots for either of those bands appear. Even "DX TEST 3525" shows nothing.

[Dx4win] Windows 10 Windows Sizes

Does anyone notice that several windows in the DX4WIN interface get smaller when you restart DX4WIN? Most notable the Master calls window and the CW Keyboard window require resizing every time. There are other windows, too, but these are the real nuisance windows for me. Any tricks to fix?

[Dx4win] Band Change - Momentary Switch to SSB Mode

I am running an Elecraft K3 X5 radio file with DX4WIN. Radio is a K3S. When I change bands, CW to CW, the radio momentarily switches to SSB on the new band, then CW. I believe this is something I can correct in the radio file. Can anyone advise me on what to tweak? 73, Byron

[Dx4win] Momentary Pauses in Windows 7 Ultimate

At first, I would be operating CW and find the first time I went to the CW typing window there would be an accasional pause before the soft-key content would appear and be sent. I attributed this to the fact I was using USB-to-serial-to-key keying. But, it now appears I get this randomly in

My only problem is the serial keying port when DX4WIN thinks it's busy when you launch DX4WIN or Save Preferences. It's an occasional problem that I've not yet chased down. I am using DX4WIN 8.04 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. My system has no parallel ports so that isn't an option for me. 73,
