[Dx4win] DX Cluster connection
I am brand new to DX4WIN (and spotting nets for that matter: haven't been on in 12 years, HI HI). Things are going fine except I can't connect to a DX spotting cluster via the Internet. I have 1. Entered Type: Regular and COM Port:TCP/IP into the Setup Parameters for the Cluster interface in the Packet1 tab 2. Examined but not changed anything in the Packet2 and 3 tabs According to the DX4WIN Help file, After you have configured the TNC, the DX Spots Window is available. Available where? I can't find a menu item in DX4WIN that would open a spotting Window. After 30 minutes of trying different things over and over, at one point I saw a list of WWW addresses in a new Window. I selected one but nothing seemed to happen afterwards. Now I can't seem to get the Window with addresses back. I must be missing some simple point or my system is blocking something. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Cluster connection
Randy No-one has come to your Aid yet, but you might have done nothing wrong, just not completed the process. You found preferences; and you want to check Packet 1 tab. Assuming you are using Internet, you use Cluster interface Type - Regular, COM port - TCP/IP, the rest shouldn't matter. IN DX4WIN , you should then have a packet window. In the packet window, you see some commands, one is called Connect. When you press this , you see a dialogue box no connection active; OK this ten you get a screen called Select Internet Address. You will need to select one of these, and you might have to set up an account; it sounds like you haven't got one. This should get you going. There are more tricks you can do, like use the VE7CC software, but that's for another day.

If they don't, try exiting and starting DX4WIN again. If you're running any kind of Firewall software, you may have to configure it to allow DX4WIN to access the Internet. Right-click in the Packet Spots window and select Internet Connection 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ 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] Brain Damage
I think I have over radiated my brain from 54 years of Hamming. I am trying to get computer control for band changing, and CW keying going. I have built an interface box to do this using one USB to Serial cable on a Windows Vista 64 bit. I used my old keying interface I used to use on CT. I took an old serial cable to go from the box to the CAT interface. I have DX4WIN Ver 8.02 and also N1MM loaded on the computer. Facts: The interface, using COM4, will activate the CAT port on the FT-920 but the CW is a continuous Tone. The Interface will Key the CW in N1MM fine, but no CAT control. What is going on? Any Rocket builders or Techno dudes that can give me some insight so I can do CW and CAT control on both programs/N1MM and DX4WIN? I'm fried. Im using DX4WIN for Logging and Award control and general keying, and N1MM for contesting. Thanks for any insights.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY Release #74 - 25 January 2010
I made a mistake, and had to update the file. When you download dx4win.cty, make sure it has this date/time/size: 1/24/2010 19:10 1,988,143 dx4win.cty You can also check that you have the correct file by closing your log and going to File | Databases | Countries. Then File | Check for Errors. There should be NO errors if you have the correct database. I always check the file for errors inside DX4WIN, and haven't seen an error in months. This time, I forgot to check, and guess what?!?!?! 73 - Jim AD1C On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 7:00 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu wrote: DX4WIN.CTY Release #74 is now available from: http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/ You can read the release notes at: http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/release.shtml You can use this script to update the file: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/update.htm Thanks again to everyone for their help in keeping this database up-to-date.
