[Dx4win] VERSION 7.07 PROBLEMS
Hi Folks I upgraded my DX4WIN with the version 7.07 and definitely Ica not make the packet cluster working as on the previous version. When I click a spotted station the program send the radio to that frequency, and after 3 seconds the band window comes back always to 20 meters. There are some other minor problems on the cluster management. Somebody else noticed this problem?

Re: [Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?
Hi Jim, I too have never lost my log and I have my doubts that it is a problem with DX4WIN. Your diagnosis of shutting down the computer before the cache is written might be likely especially if the shutdown it done using the power switch. A normal sutdown from the Start menu would ensure the cache is written first. My own practice, like you, is to never shutdown the computer although I do let it go to sleep mode after a period on non use. I also close DX4WIN immediately after any use and then backup the log to another computer on my network. A program such as Karen's Replicator http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptreplicator.asp makes backing up easy. If he doesn't have a second computer then backing up to a different folder on the hard drive or a thumb drive would be my next choice. Backing up to the same hard drive is however, not a very safe form of backup. Hard drives do fail. 73, Don VE3XD -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: January-14-09 12:44 AM To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log? About once every month or two, my father W1JR loses his log. The W1JR.dxl file just disappears from the SAVE directory. Does anyone else share this experience? I have never lost my log in the many years I have used the program. The *only* possible cause I can think of is shutting down the computer before the log has been written from memory cache to disk. (I leave my computers on all the time, sorry Al Gore.) It's NOT a slow computer - Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, 7200 RPM hard drive, etc. I'd love to figure out how to prevent this problem, as panic usually ensues until I can restore the most recent copy of the log from one of the many backup locations (the log is backed up at least three ways, not counting the ways DX4WIN backs things up).

Re: [Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?
Joe, I just received notice of an available security update for Windows XP. My computer is set not to accept automatic updates, so I am safe, but how is JR's log? Around 12Z on a Wednesday seems to be the standard time for MS updates. Last year this procedure caused an infamous crash at Skype, because so many connected computers cut the link and were reset at the same time. 73, Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: 14 January 2009 06:44 To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?

Re: [Dx4win] VERSION 7.07 PROBLEMS
Hello Oms, It sounds like you did not migrate your preferences from the old to new version. Please see the upgrade note I wrote: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/upgrade.htm If you have an ICOM radio, then you may need to check the DX4WIN Radio setting for the baud rate. 73 - Jim AD1C 2009/1/14 py5eg py...@iesa.com.br: Hi Folks I upgraded my DX4WIN with the version 7.07 and definitely Ica not make the packet cluster working as on the previous version.
