Re: [Dx4win] Problem since upgrade to W10/W11
Hi Guy, Thanks for the explanation and suggestions. I have re-booted the computer, started Win4Yaesu and then tried to start DX4Win. No change in the response. I still get the error boxes which I have to close and then DX4Win starts as normal. By playing around I have found a solution. My virtual COM port pair was 20/21. The set-up video said it didn't matter which of the pair was used for the application. I had it set for COM20, for a trial I changed it to COM21 and that has got rid of the problem. That is one more niggle removed. Thanks. 73, Dave G3UEG On 09/03/2023 12:46, ON4AOI wrote: Hi Dave, This is 100% not a windows problem but the order you start all programs.

Make two pairs of Com-0-Com The 1st pair should be for DX4WIN at max 38400 Baud even if your radio can go higher. Be sure that the rigdriver in dx4win has the same baudrate, if not then change it. The 2nd pair should be for WSJT-X also at max 38400 Baud. If for any reason wsjtx build in rigdrivers are not perfect use omnirig v1.18 (this one works perfect newer have also glitches on some computers) Start WIN4YAESU Wait until all is ready Start DX4WIN If radio is connected Then Start WSJT-X Shutdown in reverse order Can be setup in WIN4YAESU Second option is if your radio has USB and also a SERIAL port To setup the radio with via serial port to DX4WIN, but make sure You use FTDI based USB to serial cable if no serial port is available Most of the other usb2serial is crap.

Re: [Dx4win] My misunderstanding or a bug? RESOLVED
Thanks to Mike, he pointed out a reason by a private message. There was an issue under File > Awards > WAZ.. Valid Modes For all the other awards all the various modes were selected, but for WAZ there were only a few selected but crucially **NOT** MFSK so selecting that mode has corrected the situation. I don't ever remember being in this part of the settings so I don't know why the WAZ modes were different from all the other ones. Thanks Mike...

(OK when I minimize / maximise or close / open) Does anyone have a fix for this on W10. I understand W11 has fixed this problem.

[Dx4win] Cluster spots
I use CC User to link to a cluster and then the spots are fed into DX4Win. The issue seems to be caused by the cluster spots not having a date (only time) or I am not picking up the date properly. In the morning say at 09:00 when the bands are quiet and not many spots, my DX spots window in DX4Win starts with the spots from 00:00 to (say) 09:00 but then shows the spots from 09:00 to 23:59 **for the previous day**. It is not a big job to delete the yesterdays spots, however, after a few hours (say at 11:00) I suddenly find the spots for 11:00 to 23:59 for the previous day have been re-populated. When the bands are busy the problem goes away because there are enough of today's spots to fill the window. I am assuming the cluster does not **push** the spots out again, so how/why is either CC User or DX4Win asking for the last 100 spots again? Can anyone shed any light on this or should I approach the CC User forum 73, Dave G3UEG __ 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] Filtering with time as well as date
To Jim and others on and off the reflector. Thanks for the various suggestions and work-arounds. The one I like best is the one to use the same file produced for LoTW to update Clublog, I just need to be more rigorous in my own procedures.

To try and just select the last two new QSOs I did Filter / Search and set date as 01/12/2019 and time as 16:45 and end date as 01/12/2019. (no end time option) The filter search results returned 5 records, the QSOs from 16:39 to 16:49 but not the one at 21:26. Also why were just some of the QSOs before 16:45 included?

[Dx4win] DX4Win QSO confirmations and Clublog.
I am using version 7.7.2 I had spotted a few anomalies between DX4Win and Clublog, so I have cleared my Clublog data and reloaded it totally from DX4Win. The QSO totals look about right, but I now have a heap more anomalies with QSO confirmations. Most of my confirmations are from LoTW, so I upload the lotwreport file to both DX4Win and Clublog. For the few paper cards I get, I set the QSO conf flag in DX4Win and then export the few specific QSOs and upload them to Clublog. This has worked fine up until now. To refresh Clublog, I exported my complete log, but there were a lot of confirmations missing... I then exported all my LoTW QSLs again and uploaded them to Clublog.. Still a load of QSLs missing. I did a filter on the conf flag (to get the QSL card confirmations) and it selected thousands more records than I have QSLs card for. What should the procedure be to properly export all confirmations for Clublog? Are there any Clublog Users who have done a complete Clublog refresh successfully?

[Dx4win] Lotw help please - now sorted
I changed my user level - and then found the multiple QSO operations, so I think I am OK.. Sorry for the bandwidth.. 73, Dave, G3UEG I have done something wrong in trying to upload to Lotw (V7.07) I tried once and did something wrong, tried again and only got a fraction of the QSOs exported. I have now reset the upload flag to Y for the 1275 QSO I need. However I now am getting Zero QSOs exported. It looks like the upload date overrides the upload flag and prevents the export.. Is this correct? If so can I remove the upload date and start over? (I don't fancy doing each one manually!!) (None of the previous attempt file have been submitted to Lotw) Any help appreciated.

Just before the CQWW contest I worked F4BKV/BY7PP When I enter this into DX4Win I get country as France and Zone 14. A few hours later F4BKV was operating B7P in the contest in Zone 23.

The award is set up for DXCC The **only** mode specified is SSB Could someone please explain the difference between.. priority 3 - new award band. and priority 6 new band mode.

[Dx4win] QSO confirmed status (not) on ADIF export.
I have just upgraded from V6 to V7 with the V7 installed in a new folder. Question 1) The HELP menu item does not work. On clicking I get a WARNING msg Could not get help contents Error = 0 Msg = The operation completed successfully !! If I click on Search for Help On... I get nothing at all. This might help my main problem if I could get at the help... Do I need to do something to activate the Help? Question 2) I think the ADIF field that gives the QSO confirmed status is called qsl_rcvd:1 Is this correct? Question 3) I exported my log a few weeks ago with V6 and the the few QSOs that I have card confirmations for were apparently exported correctly as the receiving application shows them as confirmed. I have since upgraded to V7 I have now created a dummy log and done 4 exports a) No confirmations in DX4Win b) card confirmation c) upload confirmation d) both confirmations I have changed the QSO preferences each time accordingly The DXCC summary report shows the correct data for each case. But all four ADIF exports have the item..qsl_rcvd:1Neor So if I am looking at the correct ADIF item I am not getting any Yes confirmations exported in any of the cases. Any help to solve this would be appreciated? Has something in this area changed from V6 to V7? 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
Re: [Dx4win] Help and ADIF solutions
In case anyone else is interested in the result of my investigations and help from others here is the learning. Thanks to all those who offered assistance. RE Help problem. My V7 install did not automatically create a desktop shortcut. Apparently you have to do this manually, having done this the Help works. (I had just double-clicked on the .exe file in the DX4Win707 folder) I don't know how people are supposed to know to create a desktop shortcut?? RE qsl-rcvd ADIF problem. This ADIF field only recognises the Card confirmed QSOs. It does not take any notice of the Upload confirmed indicator. Even when the Preferences QSO confirmed field is set to Card or Upload So unless there is another way round this there is no way to export the confirmed status of any LoTW confirmed QSOs. Could this be looked at?? 73, Dave, G3UEG __ 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] LOTW Virgin.
I am just about to make my first tentative steps into LOTW. I have registered and got my certificate. I have to say I am doing this with a certain amount of trepidation... I am using V6.04 which I believe makes things a bit more straightforward than they used to be. I have read the manual and also read through Jim Reisert's web page which is largely about pre version 6.04. I am happy to take backups before (and after) updating my logfile to give me recovery options, but as I understand it, once anything is put into LOTW thats it, and it can't be changed or updated. I thought that before I go ahead I would ask for any guidance, strategies, or hints and tips, over and above the basic operational steps. One of my concerns is about contest logs where I might have logged the wrong callsign. What are the implications, and are there established actions that help deal with this situation? Any help would be much appreciated. 73, Dave G3UEG
[Dx4win] LOGGING
I have used SD and DX4WIN for a long time, and SD can produce ADIF for import into DX4WIN and also Cabrillo files for contest submission. SD is brilliant for simple contesting - if you are not networking several computers and do not need an integrated link to a web-accessed DXcluster. You can learn to use it in just a few minutes (and I really mean it). The manual is only about 18 pages and there are a vast number of contest templates pre-defined. Paul the author is very supportive and reactive through the SD reflector. 73, Dave, G3UEG
