[Dx4win] spot priorites in version 8
I have recently upgraded from version 7 to version 8. I don't have this issue with version 7. I have now developed a situation where in the DX spots priority listing, a band slot never worked before (any mode) is given a priority 3 where priority 2 spots can be a combination of spots I've not worked before, any mode (don't know why these don't appear as priority 3) and some less important band mode slots, where it's not a new DXCC on that band but would be a new mode if I collected them (I don't). What rules do I need to set (or boxes to tick) to change the priority 3 spots to priority 2, (and visa versa) as I'm not interested in any mode slot, so long as the DXCC has already been worked and confirmed and as it stands DX4WIN wins a higher priority on my configuration to a missing mode than a missing DXCC band slot (any mode)..how do I change that.? To sum up, if I have the DXCC confirmed on the band spotted, (irrespective of mode) I don't want to know about it on another mode. Currently its giving me it as a priority 2, and I want to swap P2 spots with P3 and visa versa. Thanks Hope you follow!

[Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Either I misunderstand Mailed Cutoff or it's not working correctly in 8.01. Example: Mailed Cutoff value = 730 (days, as I understand)...so 2 years. My understanding is that any QSL Date earlier than 2007-08-29 should show up W instead of M. I have a particular QSO whose QSL date was 2000-02-26. This QSO (the only one in its band-mode combination) shows up M in the Country window. No matter the date (even ridiculous ones like 1930-01-01). The only way to make it show up W is to completely erase the QSL date field. I do have all the electronic QSL date fields blank as well. So it's not that. What I was planning on doing to work-around the M problem is I copy my log to another file, NX7U_packet.dxl and in that log I globally erase all the electronic QSL dates. I had hoped that would restore the original Mailed Cutoff behaviour but no dice. Or like I said, maybe I misunderstand how it works.

Re: [Dx4win] spot priorites in version 8
Hi Neil, I don't think that you can change the priority number as to define which is more important to you. However in your case you can go into the Preferences- Packet 2 and change the display color of the new mode spots to the same as nothing special and the same with new band/mode . The number will not change but they will not catch your eye and you will see the spots you do consider a priority in their distinctive colors. I hope that helps you!! 73, Bob K2TK __ 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] spot priorites in version 8
I don't think version 8 changed in this area. The priorities are exactly the same. Did you import (merge) your preferences from version 7 to version 8? It sounds like your packet preferences may be different. Also go into the Awards Manager on the DXCC tab, and make sure the award bands and modes your care about are enabled, the rest are not. - Jim On 8/29/2009 1:51 AM, Neil G0JHC wrote: I have recently upgraded from version 7 to version 8.

[Dx4win] Using PSK31 with DX4Win
I am trying to use DX4Win for PSK31 (I usually use MixW) and I am looking for the keystroke that works the same as %e in a macro for live keyboarding. It's not Escape as that is immediate... what do you type at the end of a transmission or do you have to use a macro? Also is there a way to log multi-word QTHs easily... for example St Benoit or Palo Alto?

Re: [Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Hold fire on this... apparently there are some changes coming in 8.02. I believe the M can be an indication that the QSO was uploaded to LotW in 8.01...

Re: [Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Like I said, though: the QSO in question *did not have a date entered for any form of electronic QSL*...either LoTW or eQSL.

Re: [Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?
Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. I tried it here and what I note is DX4Win is using the Worked cut off date instead of the Mailed cut off date to determine if the indicator should be M or L. I don't believe this is correct... at least, if it is correct, I don't understand the logic. Perhaps it is a bug.
