[Dx4win] DX4WIN8-MAS2 files
Hi All, I updated my webpage with different MAS2 files. I made a few that I think are good starters for the moment. Don´t ask me to make more or tell me that there are a few calls Missing because everyday these listings grow... After everybody has read the manual about how to create there Own Specific members list they will be removed from my page And replaced with listings that can be used to create your own. Users that have member-lists (preferable in standard TXT format) That can be used by ALL DX4WIN USERS can always send them to me.

Re: [Dx4win] Bandmap radio frequency update speed v8.01
Speaking of the band map. After I saw it mentioned, I searched around trying to activate the band map. After an extended period, I finally figured out that I had to right click on the packet spots window to find the band map menu item.

[Dx4win] DX cluster hookup?
Hello all, This questions is regarding automatic hookup to a DX cluster like AR User by VE7CC? Right now when I bring up dx4win I have to click the connect button at the bottom of some window and then select which dx cluster I want to look at from a very long list and then enter my call, hit enter then click on SH/DX to see the DX. dx4win knows my call sign, my name, my qth, I can tell it what cluster I want, but maybe it already do this and I just don't know how to use this feature?? So is there an automatic way to just bring up dx4win and have it automatically connect to VE7CC ( or what ever dx cluster I previously select)?? Thanks in advance for any help.

[Dx4win] DXCC summary report
Hello All I do have version 8 working, and I'm very pleased. But I do have one problem. First thing I did, see if my DXCC totals are correct. In Mixed it looks ok. But doing a check on Reports|DXCC|Summary and then mode PHO or CW, it gives the result for Mixed, not the mode I selected. Is this a bug? or do I miss something? 73 de Dick PA3FQA __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] Bandmap radio frequency update speed v8.01
No. D4W requires polling and 1ms is impossible... an Icom radio cannot respond that quickly. About 500ms - 1000 ms seems to be ideal for most Icoms. Older radios should be even slower. Also I notice that there are issues with invalid data being picked up by the band-map if C-IV transceive is on. You must turn it off. Perhaps one day Paul will support asynchronous updates with Icom allowing the use of C-IV transceive... but for now we have to poll. With Async communications, bandmap updates could be much quicker... though I'm not really sure why it's important. Mel, VE2DC Olli Tuppurainen wrote: Any solution to speed up the bandmap ?

[Dx4win] PSK31 Won't Key K3
1. The radio is a K3. The DX4WIN radio selection in preferences is Elecraft K3 X4. DX4WIN in radio preferences has Com 5 set for the radio. Both DTR and RTS are checked. 2. I unchecked DX4WIN Radio Preference DTR and RTS and selected PSK31 PTT control setting. Still not keying the transmitter. 3. DX4WIN CW is set for COM 5, DTR Line CW Keying, RTS Line PTT Control. This setting works for sending CW. In PSK31 Settings I have keying line set to DTR and PTT set to PTT control. No transmitter keying with this setup. If I change PSK31 PTT to Com 5 I get the device already open error. I think this produces a conflict with DX4WIN claiming Com 5 and PSK31 also trying to claim Com 5. This is just a guess by me. I still don't know how to key the K3 transmitter in PSK31.

Re: [Dx4win] Bandmap radio frequency update speed v8.01
The radio shouldn't have anything to do with the updating of the bandmap. It all comes from the cluster connection. I have a PC in my office, no radio, bandmap works fine.

Re: [Dx4win] DX cluster hookup?
I raised this issue several years ago and got a nasty rejection from the DX4WIN email support. Soured me on DX4WIN for years. In my opinion it is programming not worthy of a commercial product. The BandMap and moving the last used cluster to the top of the list are improvements. Starting the cluster in DX4WIN is a chore that shouldn't have remained for so many years. Apparently the DX cluster facility in DX4WIN is a very low priority. There are free DX Cluster programs available with more features and a better interface. And yes, I do use other programs for the DX Cluster.

Oh for crying out loud! It's NOT a lot of work to connect. But after you have done it many thousands of times it DOES get irritating.

I raised this issue several years ago and got a nasty rejection from the DX4WIN email support. Soured me on DX4WIN for years. In my opinion it is programming not worthy of a commercial product. The BandMap and moving the last used cluster to the top of the list are improvements. Starting the cluster in DX4WIN is a chore that shouldn't have remained for so many years. Apparently the DX cluster facility in DX4WIN is a very low priority. There are free DX Cluster programs available with more features and a better interface.

Re: [Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues
It does not work this way Guy! I am also in trouble with the delimiter as I have used space between name and QTH. I have been trying to find way to export the log to change the delimiter but it is impossible with DXQ-QXN export-import because the Notes for This Call gets doubled! Meaning the old values are not replaced whatever you do but anything you import on top of them are added with /. Even if you export your log, delete ALL QSOs after that and import all the QSOs back then your Notes for This Call get multiplied by two with / in between. Crazy. And it is not possible to open a new log file (thus getting rid of the old Notes... data) and import all QSOs there because then you also lose all the Groups list. Thus as far as I have no idea how do change delimiter automatically in ADIF file with my domestic tools like excel etc I don't see any way to accomplish this task without the program being modified to let the user choose the delimiter, better yet logic similar to Excel Text to Columns. What I really need is to be able to split at the first space.

Re: [Dx4win] DX cluster hookup?
Here Here Mel ! There are many features that if you analysed it you could do with just a few mouse clicks; and they all add up. - rig control / mode selection - is a nice to have in a logging programme; but we accept that the user is not lazy for wanting it (I bet someone used Erkki's argument 15 years ago ! - Rotator control - entering time automatically What about in DX4WIN operator preferences - they save you having to configure the programme every time you use it; for your laziness! We accept these niceties; and the same should be true of other features that would enhance the programme! In Win Test, which was the example I used, the choice of which cluster to use etc is still down to the user; it is merely anther preference that he sets up. I think about it as operator convenience; rather than laziness.

The Open window will display your DX4win folder. Select the file MASTER.DTA by double clicking on it and DX4win will open the file, convert it for use with DX4win and display another window, Information, which will indicate Conversion finished 44927 Calls. The first time you enter a Callsign you will see the MasterLookup window display a list of similar callsigns.

Re: [Dx4win] Use of F8 problem.
Milos, I think (I'm guessing) that it has to do with the number notation. When you start a filter, and do not want to enter a value for the frequency, the field shows up as 0.0 and is therefore ignored. This also means you cannot search for the value 0.0 either, but that is another problem. When your international setup is for the period as the separator, the F8 works fine. When it is a comma (in your case I guess) the 0,0 is not seen as zero and becomes part of the search value(s) making the search fail. Another thing todo! --73, Paul, KK4HD Ing.

[Dx4win] PSK31 Won't Key K3
Version 7.07.02 If both CW and Radio ports in DX4WIN Preferences are changed to None, then PSK31 can be set to Com 5 (the K3 port) and it will key the K3. However, this leaves no control of the radio (K3) and is not a viable solution. It test just proves, I think, that DX4WIN is not allowing itself and PSK31 to use the same radio port.

[Dx4win] Invalid value
I know that is not needed to import the DXL file from the version 7, just copy it to the SAVE directory and it is done, but... I exported the DXL file using the 7 version, opened the 8 version, created a brand new log file and imported the log from DXQ DXN files. Using the version 7 I need 3 countries in 20 meters, say: P5, FT5W and KP1. The version 8.01 said that I only need FT5 and KP1. I carefull checked the differences to find out that the I flag in the DXCC fields (Mixed, band and mode) were not flagged. Somehow, the importation procedure ignored the invalid value in the ValidDX field in the 7 version. To be sure about that I did generate a report, using the 7 version, producing 51 invalid QSOs; none of them does appear in the version 8. Of course I can manually enter the I value in the proper fields, which I will do, but I think there is a little problem to be fixed. -- 73 DX de PY2YP - Cesar __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Dx4win] Same station different operators and changed QTH
I have a problem and it is not new for version 8.01. I am QSL manager for a scout station and we work a lot of scout stations. They could have different operators and change QTH from year to year. For example, SK0XA. 1969 Lasse Stockholm 1972 Bengt Farsta 1975 Sten Huddinge 1984 Marie Farsta Operator changes are common with other club stations too and there are some examples of reissued old call signs. People move and change QTH but keep their callsign. If I add a new operator and a new QTH to an existing the new one overwrites the old. Is it possible to make the program suggest the old Name and QTH but if changed the old is still kept with the old contacts and the new is saved with the new name and QTH? If then the station is worked again the new operator and QTH will be suggested.

Re: [Dx4win] Same station different operators and changed QTH
I can't speak for Paul... but the problem you identify is actually one of DX4Win's strengths... All the information is in one place. If you correct one occurrence, you correct them all. I would hate him to change that. What I do... and it works for me... If it is just a matter of recording the operator... I put Club or DXped or Spcl Envt in name depending on what is most appropriate... I put Op-name in the QSO Notes (Not Call Notes) In the situation where QTH is also variable... I think that's less common... also put QTH-location in the QSO notes. Just to review... Call notes (and now Name and QTH) are linked to a unique callsign... you change one and you have changed them all. QSO notes are unique to each Contact. Also, don't forget Ctrl-E opens up both notes into a multi-line memo... so you can store a lot of info. ...Mel The other situation I encounter... since I've been at this a while is the re-assigned call problem. In this case I put the Historical info into the CALL Notes (Not QSO Notes) and the new name and QTH in the appropriate fields. This instantly update ALL references to the same call. Claes Mel Carneheim wrote: I have a problem and it is not new for version 8.01. I am QSL manager for a scout station and we work a lot of scout stations. They could have different operators and change QTH from year to year. For example, SK0XA. 1969 Lasse Stockholm 1972 Bengt Farsta 1975 Sten Huddinge 1984 Marie Farsta Operator changes are common with other club stations too and there are some examples of reissued old call signs. People move and change QTH but keep their callsign. If I add a new operator and a new QTH to an existing the new one overwrites the old. Is it possible to make the program suggest the old Name and QTH but if changed the old is still kept with the old contacts and the new is saved with the new name and QTH? If then the station is worked again the new operator and QTH will be suggested.

[Dx4win] 60 Meters in Version 8.01
Finally got around to installing v 8.01 today. A bit more painful than most upgrades of DX4WIN for some reason. Guess I will need to look through the archives for some of my issues, but one I do not recall being mentioned so far: is anyone else having problems displaying 60 meter status in the WAZ and Country windows? It's also not in the Reports. I have 60m checked in the Station tab of the Preferences. Not sure what I am missing. Some strange things with the CW totals, too, but I haven't dug into that enough to ask an intelligent question.

I find that 1.the band box is no longer changing with incoming spots in the WAS window and data is not appearing as to what Ive worked. Also WAS = shows nothing in the title bar. 2. the WPX data is not appearing either though the band box does shift around with spots coming in. Also WPX= shows nothing in the title bar. A new spot comes in and where 6 and 7 automatically looked up where I had it worked and confirmed, it shows all the boxes for band and mode with nothing in them. I reinstalled 7.07.02 and it works properly. While this is going on, DXCC , WAZ and Field windows are working fine. The WPX colors in the spot window are fine in 8.01.

Re: [Dx4win] WPX window and WAS window
Yes, I correct my message as well. The box does move in 7.07, but DX4WIN can't determine the state. I tried spotting both a previous QSO from my log (so DX4WIN would already know the state), and putting the state in the comments field. In either case, the title bar of the window did not name the state. Perhaps an improvement for some future version would be to cross-check the spotted station against the log, and try to determine the state, county, grid and IOTA, even if those are not in the spot itself. - Jim On Sat, Aug 8, 2009 at 10:39 PM, Paul van der Eijkpvandere...@cox.net wrote: My previous message may have been misleading; the WAS cannot update based on packet info, but should adjust the location of the band/mode selector. --Paul Matt Cassarino wrote: Hello all Does anyone use the WPX window or WAS window ?
