[Dx4win] Dupes
My question is why are there dupes in the log? Is this asking the developer to provide a software fix for a potential operator error? The procedure for fixing dupes is quite simple. Not sure why there is such a problem with this. 73, Charlie, W0YG..

Hello! I have the same problem with lost spots from internet. Just found that I don?t have any dxwin.put file. Simply copied the file from 6.01 to my 6.02 catalog and it works. 73 de SM7N - SM7NDX, Jan -- Jan och Margareta Eliasson [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swipnet.se/sm7ndx

You will note that the DX4WIN.PUT file comes and goes. It is only there when there are spots in the DX spot window. If you exit DX4Win without clearing the spots the .PUT file remains with spots. If you clear the spots and don't exit DX4Win the .PUT file remains. If you clear the spots and then exit DX4Win the file is renamed to DX4WIN.~UP, thereby effectively deleting it. You can delete the ~UT file and the .PUT file will be recreated the next time a spot is placed in the DX spot window. At least that's the way it works here. BTW, I use the DX-Telnet interface. 73 - Ted - W8TTS Jan Eliasson, SM7NDX wrote: Hello! I have the same problem with lost spots from internet. Just found that I don?t have any dxwin.put file.

I just went in and unchecked the Backup DX spots box. And, it went back to clearing, i.e. deleting the .PUT file, with spots still in it when I exited DX4Win and restarted.

Mel, I may not have been clear about this last night. Backup DX Spots is supposed to use the backup timer to write the unsaved spots to disk at regular intervals. Just like it does for the open log. I asked for this a while back, so that a DX4WIN crash would not delete all the spots that were only live in memory. You would only lose any unsaved spots since the last backup interval. However, it seems that Paul may have broken something in the latest versions, which cause the spots to NOT be saved to disk when you exit the program, and Backup DX Spots is not enabled. 73 - Jim AD1C --- Mel Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I must confess I am unclear on what checking the box backup spots is supposed to do... as they seem to be backed up unconditionally when I close DX4Win... perhaps Jim or Paul can clarify this... = Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC

I have it licenced at the office and it DOESNT save the spots... it works fine at home The office setup is Win98... and has nothing configured, ie radios, soundcards, TNCs etc. The home stup is XP and has everything configured... - Original Message - From: Jim Reisert AD1C [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ted Sarah - W8TTS [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Roger Borowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx4win@mailman.qth.net; 'Erik Hyllander' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 09:46 Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window I installed DX4WIN in Demo mode at the office. With Backup DX Spots unchecked, the spots are NOT saved. The installation includes a default packet spot file from Paul, it reverts to the original list of spots when I exit DX4WIN and start again. I do not understand at home why it appears that my spots are kept. I had turned Backup DX Spots off because I didn't want the PC writing to my backup ZIP drive every 2 minutes with the last saved spots. It seems like there may be a bug here. The spots need to be saved when you exit DX4WIN, regardless of whether Backup DX Spots is checked or not. This is certainly the way 5.03 used to work. I will check a little more at home this weekend to see exactly what's happening in the shack. If I've made anyone crazy, I apologize. I'll stick to callsign to country mappings in the future! :-) 73 - Jim AD1C = Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

It appears that every time a spot is received the backup runs. Or, at least that what it looks like it's doing. Mel Martin wrote: I must confess I am unclear on what checking the box backup spots is supposed to do... as they seem to be backed up unconditionally when I close DX4Win... perhaps Jim or Paul can clarify this... It almost seems that DX4Win is not saving your spot file on closing DX4Win. Ted... Did you check and see if when the backup box is checked that spots arriving between the last backup interval and closing DX4Win are saved? - Original Message - From: Ted Sarah - W8TTS [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Roger Borowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx4win@mailman.qth.net; 'Erik Hyllander' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 08:16 Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window I just went in and unchecked the Backup DX spots box.

Hi de K9APW\\ Using version 6.02 -- New user as of this week -- Entered MANUALLY (off line) 800++ old entries -- but now find that only 400 of them were actually 'saved' to the log file after exiting the system -- Any idea where the other 400 entries not shown in the log book might have been saved to?? (I simply clicked on SAVE in the FILE menu??) How do I sort and view the logbook alphabetically by CALLSIGN?? (All my cards are in alpha order but were not entered in that same order!!) Thanks for any help -- I have 5000++ manual entries to make and after spending all day today entering, I find that 400++ of those entries made apparently did not actually save -- they were appearing on the log on the screen as I entered them, but are not there after exiting and restarting the program??? Thanks in advance -- Dick, K9APW

Did you simply keep tabbing away and replacing callsigns? Were the QSOs actually added to the log, i.e. did you see them appear in the logbook window? Any idea where the other 400 entries not shown in the log book might have been saved to?? (I simply clicked on SAVE in the FILE menu??) How do I sort and view the logbook alphabetically by CALLSIGN?? Right-click anywhere in the Logbook window, then Select Report and in the Sort Index pulldown select Callsign. 73 ... Zoran WA7AA
