[Dx4win] DX4WIN and Elecraft - Using Multiple COM Ports
There is a new Application note on Elecraft.com for using multiple virtual COM ports. "Many contact and contest logging programs require the use of dual COM ports at the host computer for transceiver control and keying. This Application Note introduces methods for concentrating multiple computer COM ports to a single transceiver serial port, using COM Port Concentrator (CPC) software. An example is used for illustration purposes.

DX4WIN.CFG is your configuration/preferences, it is a binary file that can not be read by Word. DX4WIN.INI is a plain-text version of your configuration, which you create from Preferences by "Write INI File Settings". DX4WIN does not read this file directly, unless you use "Merge INI file settings" in Preferences. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

Re: [Dx4win] Error
I saved this email for my info in case it ever happened to me. IT DID happen to me today. DX4WIN has been working FB with no problems. I have not done anything to change its configuration. I used Jim's DATA UPDATER program about a month ago to bring everything up to date (his latest revision). Last night I closed DX4WIN normally and shut off the PC. This morning on starting up the PC and opening DX4WIN normally, I had the same problem as Wayne did below: In my situation, the main window opened normally but the font was different. Normally when I open DX4WIN my Map, Same Call, Country, and IOTA sub windows open with the program. Today they did not open. When I try to open them using the WINDOW drop down menu I get the error message. ERROR: An exception has occurred. Fixed Column Count must be less than column count. In addition, all my saved info in the PREFERENCE window such as my address, my user level, my font settings, ext data, etc. was gone. So as Jim suggested below I exited DX4WIN, went to my SAVE file, found the DX4WIN.CFG file and renamed it xDX4WIN.CFG, and opened DX4WIN again. Now I can open the MAP, SAME CALL, COUNTRY, IOTA widows OK BUT I still do not have the settings in my PREFERENCE window as before. BUT my main concern is my MAIN LOGGING WIDOW has shrunk. I use a 21-inch monitor. My main log window before was 6 1/2 in by 5 1/2 in. Now it is 5 1/4 by 4 1/4 inches. I have to lean way forward to read it. Also in the PREFERENCE/SCREEN window, I cannot change the FONT style or size. The scale factor is stuck at 80. I want to change it to 100 but it will not change. In my SAVE file there is a file named DX4WIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS. When I click on it, it opens with WORDPAD. I see all my preference data, such as my address, fonts, ext data, etc, in this file. Why can't DX4WIN find this file when it opens? Is that my problem? Was some file saved in the wrong place? My PC uses WIN 8.1. Sometimes it wants to save docs I am using to some place named ONE DRIVE. I have checked there but there are no DX4WIN files there. I do not know what happened. I also have DX4WIN installed on a laptop that is still working OK. I will update my K7ACZ.DXL file and I will use it for logging until I figure out what is wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Everything else looks fine. Hi Wayne, Please try this: Exit DX4WIN Rename SAVE\DX4WIN.CFG to something else Start DX4WIN. It will create a new configuration file.

Re: [Dx4win] Tr : PSK31 with K3/DX4WIN : PLEASE HELP !
Hi Radi, I don't use PSK31, but the Prolific USB - Serial converters are known to have many problems. My first recommendation is to change to USB - Serial converters that use the FTDI chipset. Also, I believe his second connection description is not correct. The Signalink must be connected directly to a USB connection on the computer. There is a special cable required for each type of radio that connects the audio outputs of the Signalink to the radio. The radio serial port must also be connected (through the USB - Serial adapter) to the computer directly. I hope this helps. 73, Bud N7CW On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 2:41 AM, Radivoj Kar, F6GNZ via DX4WIN < dx4win@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > There have been no responses for my requests.

Thanks and best 73 de Luis, CT1EEQ Hello Luis, I don't know if the offending QSOs share the same group number with the good ones or not. If you can separate the bad QSOs by group number then you could try to filter the offending QSOs and remove them by using multiple QSO operations/Delete QSOs. You could also try to export the log (File/Export/DX4WIN8) and then create a completely new log and import the exported log into the new log and select "Imported QSO is ignored" as the option for the duplicate QSOs. I hope that helps. 73 de Teijo OH6NIO __ 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
