Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win and USB Ports
Hi Byron! I use a ByteRunner USB2-4COM-M to create 4 real COM ports from one USB port. http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/product_name=USB2-4COM-M/user- id=/password=/exchange=/exact_match=exact I use the ByteRunner to control my radio, rotator, and power meter, with one port left over for whatever. The ByteRunner uses the FTDI chipset, and is fully functional for just about anything. So, if you are happy with your peripherals, but are lacking COM ports as I was, the USB2-4COM-M is a reasonable solution. 73 - Dave N3RD On 16 Mar 2011 at 23:29, Byron Peebles wrote: It's time to update a ten year old shack, and the new computer has one real serial port and the rest are USB (serial bus) ports.

Re: [Dx4win] Scrolling stops in bandmap when moving to band edge
I reported much the same last 13Dec2009 in a post to this reflector: 2. Band map scrolling. (In this email, scrolling is meant as the way the band map is repainted when you tune off the visible part of the map.) a. Inconsistent scrolling - For whatever reason, I find that the band map does not consistently scroll, that is, I can tune off the top or bottom of the visible portion of the map, and the red arrow just disappears and the map does not repaint to bring the current frequency (red arrow) into visibility. When this happens, clicking either the + or - zoom button will recenter the frequency, and the red arrow is again visible. b. I am not particularly fond of the way the band map scrolls as you tune. What happens now is you tune the radio up in frequency, the red arrow moves down the visible map until it disappears off the bottom. (See 2.a. above for consistency issues.) Then the map repaints (or should do so) with the current frequency at the top of a new band segment. In my opinion, this could be improved by scrolling the window when the current frequency gets a certain distance away from the center of the map. This way, your current frequency is always near the center of a segment of the band, the size of the segment being set by the + and - buttons. I would still like to have these issues fixed in a future update to D4W. 73 - Dave N3RD On 1 Oct 2010 at 9:31, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 7:49 AM, Enno J.

[Dx4win] Double spots using Alt-A
Good day, I'm just doing some casual operating in the SPDX Contest, and found an unusual DX4WIN response. I'm not using Contest Mode. I fill in the QSO data in the Entry Window, but before hitting Enter, I hit Alt-A which graps the callsign from the Entry Window. So far so good. However, if I hit two quick Enters, one to send the spot and one to log the QSO, two identical spots are sent to the Cluster. If I pause after the first Enter, and wait for the spot to show up in the packet window, then hit the second Enter, only a single spot is sent to the Cluster. Yes, I know. If it hurts, don't do it. The work around is to pause between Enters. However, what I'm seeing should not happen. Also, I love the Band Map, but hate the way the frequency doesn't track properly. I've reported this before. 73 - Dave __ 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] Band Map Wish List
Having recently installed a 160m antenna here for the first time, I am starting completely new on this band. I find that I am doing a huge amount of tuning on the band, and find the DX4WIN bandmap useful for skipping over stations already worked, etc. I had waited for 8.03 to be released to see if Paul made any improvements to the band map's functionality, but it seems to be the same as in 8.02. Therefore, here are my wish list ideas for improving the band map for DXing: 1. Entering a callsign/frequency on the band map. As far as I know, the only way to get a call onto the bandmap is to spot it. The band map should be useful for those who are not connected to a cluster or who wish to enter a call without spotting it. Working a station should automatically enter that call on the band map at the logged frequency. A Ctrl or Alt key combination should take the call from the Callsign field in the main entry window and enter it in the bandmap at the current radio frequency. 2. Band map scrolling. (In this email, scrolling is meant as the way the band map is repainted when you tune off the visible part of the map.) a. Inconsistent scrolling - For whatever reason, I find that the band map does not consistently scroll, that is, I can tune off the top or bottom of the visible portion of the map, and the red arrow just disappears and the map does not repaint to bring the current frequency (red arrow) into visibility.

This way, your current frequency is always near the center of a segment of the band, the size of the segment being set by the + and - buttons. I find the band map to be very useful, even as is, but hope that future DX4WIN releases can provide increase functionality. If I have missed some menu setting or other band map control features, please direct me to them. 73 - Dave N3RD __ 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] IC-765 control question
I was helping a friend set up his brand new v6.02. He has an IC-765. We noticed that clicking on a CW spot would properly send the radio to the frequency, but would set the CW filter to Wide. Is there a modification to the radio control file for the 765 which will send the radio to the proper frequency but set the filter at Narrow? Thanks. 73 - Dave N3RD
[Dx4win] Packet Window
Yes, that is the way it used to work. In fact, the size of the send window is also lost if you click on Maximize and then Restore. I liked it the old way, and wonder if there is some new functionality that is tied to this behavior. If not, perhaps it can be either restored to the previous behavior, which I prefer over the current way. 73 - Dave N3RD On 9 Feb 2003 at 7:07, Ted Sarah - W8TTS wrote: If I remember correctly, in the 5.x version if I made the send part (bottom) of the Packet Window smaller it stayed that way when I exited and restarted DX4Win. But, in the 6.x version, I have to resize it every time. Anyone else seeing this? 73 - Ted - W8TTS ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
[Dx4win] Green on white spots

And that is the essential difference between Jim's and my approach to DXing. I am interested in confirming the country. I am less interested in other QSLs. However, I *personally* want to WORK new band countries, just for the challenge/fun of it. You know, the ones that show up as a - in the country window. I would like the new band/mode spots to be white on green. As others have said, it's a simple matter to turn the colors off if it bothers you. Same could be said of red and blue. I know a fellow who doesn't chase awards at all, and has made all the spots black on white, regardless of priority level. Thanks, Paul, for the flexibility. 73 - Dave
[Dx4win] Green on white spots
I actively chase new band/mode QSOs. Right now (6.01), there is no spot color that will tell me that I have never worked the spotted station on a particular band/mode (eg. 80m CW). It makes perfect sense to me that DX4WIN should be able to tell me that. If the inverse video paradigm is used for new ones, then a white on green would indicate a new band/mode country, whereas a green on white would indicate previously worked, but as yet unconfirmed band/mode country. More to the point, though, is that all we need is a Priority definition for this (New Award Band/Mode). Colors in DX4WIN can be customized. 73 - Dave N3RD On 5 Feb 2003 at 10:07, Paul van der Eijk wrote: Hi, I have received a number of direct emails, and read a few on the reflector, asking that the definition of green on white spots be changed. Currently (6.02), it makes no difference if the new band/mode combination is confirmed or not. The suggestion is to only use this priority for band/mode combinations that are new (never worked before). Ideas, objections?

[Dx4win] Priority 6 Spots Definition
From the help, the definition of Priority 6 on spots is: 6 Band/Mode not conf green on white Worked one or more stations using this band/mode combination but none of these contacts have been confirmed. However, incoming spots are assigned Priority 6 for not only the above definition, but also for cases of Band/mode not worked. Since I am primarily interested in new band/mode QSOs, I had hoped that the new version would be able to set a color for that particular and specific case. Perhaps it does, and I'm missing a setting somewhere. For now, any green on white spot needs to be checked individually. Help anybody? 73 - Dave N3RD
