Re: [Dx4win] Print QSL Cards
I have done this. Not sure if this is the best way but here is what I did. I made a custom label the size of the card with nr across 1 nr down 1 Paper size Custom then adjusted the left and top spacing to put the printing where I wanted it. It actually worked quite well with an ink jet, BUT. A couple of thoughts on consumer grade printers. Ink jet printing is hopeless if it gets wet and I have had people request a replacement card because the postie dropped the letter in a puddle or something. Laser printers don't print very well on heavy card just not enough heat to fuse the toner properly, yes some have a setting for heavier paper. I'll let others decide if their laser fuses the toner good enough but I have gone back to labels and a laser printer. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: DX4WIN [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of William Liporace Sent: Monday, 21 March 2016 14:01 To: Dan Violette; 'DX4WIN POSTINGS' Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Print QSL Cards I was hoping to print directly on the back of my pre printed QSL cards...

[Dx4win] PSK and Comm Ports
I have been running a USB to Serial adapter to read my FT-857D data into DX4WIN 8.05. Now I am trying to hook up a RigBlaster Plus to run PSK31 and key the radio. I've had the RigBlaster for a while and haven't been able to get the rigblaster to go into the PTT / Tx mode. I now think my Prolific USB-Serial adapter is bad. Which leads to my question. I know how and where to set the Comm port to read the radio data into DX4WIN. Can I do both, read the radio data in and also run the PSK window or do I have to set up to run PSK with the second Radio preferences set to the different PSK Comm port?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN/CW Skimmer/SDR RX controlling "slave radio" TX frequency
Some time ago I was kicking my head how to listen permanently to DX-ped's frequency, while being able to select any QSX TX frequency by click on the Skimmer, even with QSX going beyond the +12kHz Skimmer's range. And just found a solution which I wish to share with anybody interested: I kept SDR RX controlled by DX4WIN and Skimmer via RCP1 and RCP2 of DDUtil, but instead of controlling 1000MP from the "slave radio" port of DDUtil, I have installed the DXLab's Commander and W3OA's Skimmer-to-Commander. I programmed Commander to control the FT1000MP via CAT1 port of the microHAM Router, and connected Skimmer-to Commander to Skimmer's Telnet Localport 701 (which was programmed in Skimmer's Telnet Tab, where also the "allow skimmer commands" was checked). Now, in Telnet-to-Commander window, I can select whether the click on Skimmer's frequency sets vfoA or vfoB of the 1000MP, so I can now permanently listen DX-ped frequency on Main RX vfoA and transmit on any QSX frequency selected on Skimmer via vfoB of the 1000MP ! The Commander and StC can be then left hidden on the Taskbar! Hope this may be useful for others.
