Steve, did you merge your preferences (.ini file) from the old version to the new version?
It sounds like you have the "Alert Unconfirmed Country" box chedked in your Packet1 preferences. Or in your Personal preferences, Worked and/or Mailed Cutoff is set to a non-zero value. 73 - Jim AD1C On 1/8/2008 9:26 PM, Steve Jackson wrote: > I just upgraded and I think I may have messed something (minor) up. > > Far as I can tell, everything works perfectly after I did the upgrade EXCEPT > the colors in the spot window.

It sounds like you're talking about the KY family of commands for telling the onboard keyer in later Kenwoods and Elecrafts to send a string as CW. I obviously can't speak for the developers of DX4WIN, but I know that N1MM has declined to write this capability into N1MM Logger, on the grounds that the KY feature set is much less flexible and useful than the command set built into the Winkey family of products. For what it's worth, and 73, Pete N4ZR At 12:53 AM 1/9/2008, Steve Jackson wrote: >Pete N4ZR wrote: > >"when I read someone complaining about how a K2 or K3 isn't adequately >supported, I have very little sympathy.
