[Dx4win] CW Keyboard question
Thanks for all the responses! I put a scope on the keying line and found out that the interface was working fine. Hmmm, what else could it be? Turns out the Elecraft K2 REQUIRES a stereo 1/8 plug even if you are using a hand key or an external keyer (i.e. computer). I replaced the mono 1/8 plug with a stereo plug and voila, it works like a champ! The clue came to me when keying DX4Win caused the menu button on the K2 not to work. So I went back and read the fine manual that comes with the K2 and saw the notice about using a stereo plug. Helps to RTFM!

Used a 1k resister in series with the base of a 2n, emitter to ground, collector to the key jack on my K2. Circuit built into db25 d-shell on LPT1. When I use the keyboard window to send anything the key line goes to ground and the K2 stays in transmit (no make/break on the keying line from LPT1). If I pull the key jack out of the plug the rig goes back to receive (if the keyboard doesn't have anything left to send). 1. When using the keyboard interface the keying line sees 'stuck' in send. 2. when I pull the jack out, it goes back to receive. What am I missing here? Did I miss a config somewhere? (I did tell DX4Win LPT1 in the Preferences dialog box). BTW, the computer interface to the rig works fine (serial). Any ideas?

[Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers
For K1B, you have to QSL to one manager for SSB QSO's and another one with a different address for all other modes. How do you get DX4WIN to accept different QSL managers for the same call under different modes? If I try to change QSO, it wants to change all of them. - David, W4HPW -- Flying is of the Spirit.

[Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign

Why not just use the notes for this QSO box for situations such as this, and move on! Is it really necessary to have the manager printed on the label for direct QSL's? Bureau QSL's are another situation, and would require some alteration? For one thing, in addition to the manager printed on the label, it also prints the address label for the envelope. The reason they make computer logging programs is so you don't have to mess with paper logs and hand addressing envelopes.

[Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign
We didn't chase every band/mode combination, so we didn't need such exhaustive record keeping. I recall having 3 DXCC lists, one for each mode. A check mark next to the country meant worked, and if/when I got a card, it was crossed off. Barry W2UP On 5 May 2002 Bob Naumann - N5NJ wrote: Shelby, I agree with you.

You do have to remember to alter the callsign for any SSB QSO but if you set the first SSB QSO with K1B to K1B/SSB and also make the Baker Howland Island exception for K1B/SSB in the prefix box, then set the QSL manager to RZ3AA, all subsequent QSO's with K1B/SSB will have the correct QSL manager. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=- --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.

[Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign
The notes for QSO box never gets seen again after the QSO is entered in the log unless you go back and select that particular QSO for review! When printing QSL labels, if the QSO's aren't segregated by the manager/mode, multiple QSO's will print on the same label while they need to go to different managers! Besides, some people, like myself, rarely send any QSL's out direct to managers, but use a service, such as WF5E provides. At this point, I am in no hurry for any QSL's as they are only various band and mode fillers for me. I now have over 60,000 QSL cards over the past 41 years in my files representing #1 DXCC Honor Roll, Mixed, Phone, and CW (since 1994) but I still QSL 100%. If you are just a casual operator, paper logs and manual QSL'ing could still work fine for you. I'm sure there are many others who can also appreciate the benefits of computerized logging and accurate QSL label printing. Besides the system I described in my original message, time consuming manual QSL'ing would be the only other option of getting the right QSO's to the right manager in this particular case. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=- - Original Message - From: Shelby Summerville [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign Dang..have y'all become so spoiled with the automation of logging, that y'all have forgotten what was done using paper logs?
