Re: [Dx4win] ver 9.02
Glenn, on your FT8 only question there is probably no legitimate need to have that function in DX4WIN since there is currently no special DXCC endorsement for FT8 but it's very easy to create a filtered sublog from your main log and then crunch and query it any way you might want to. Something like this: 1 Filter Search your logfile to select FT8 QSOs only 2. Export those QSOs only into a new version 9 DXL file 3. Create a new logfile named something like "VA3DX_FT8only" 4.Import your new FT8 only file into the newly created logfile 5.Crunch the data any way you wish to spit out FT8 only stats from your log ... including total countries worked and confirmed, etc...

Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Deleted Checked status data following upgrade
Thank you for the offer John, but Paul sent me my converted logfile yesterday ……. so I am back in business. To bring the group up to date: Paul promptly responded to my initial post yesterday morning …. And asked me to send him my version 7 logfile …. It did not take him long to confirm that there is a problem (loss of award flags) when migrating a version 7 logfile directly to version 9 ….. but he discovered that the award flag data will be preserved when you first migrate from version 7 to version 8 …. And then migrate the converted version 8 log to version 9 …… Paul then returned my converted logfile …… so the problem has been solved for me. I guess I must be a member of a very small group of folks who have been happily using version 7 for seventeen years now! …. I think it’s fair to say that each of us will have different needs as far as software is concerned. Some want it to do more for them than others do. Those who know me well will tell you that I have always been very serious about ARRL DXCC. DX4WIN version 7 has done everything that I have wanted it to do to stay on top of my DXCC records ….. so I never did feel the need to upgrade to version 8….. and FWIW, in my case, the only reason that I upgraded to version 9 was for its new ability to handle FT8 QSO data. I had logged about 1000 FT8 QSOs using version 7 ….. and had been substituting the rarely used “JT6M” mode for FT8 ….. and I was fortunately able to do a global edit using the multiple QSOs edit function to get that fixed in the new version 9 logfile …. I’m not sure if I’m going to be willing to change all of those invalid 599 signal reports however Thanks to Paul for the prompt response to my dilemma… I’m a happy camper. 73, Don, N5LZ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: John, K9EL Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 12:11 PM To: 'Don Butler' Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Dx4win] DXCC Deleted Checked status data following upgrade If you do not have V8, send your log to me and I will do the V7 > V8 > V9 process. 73, John K9EL -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Monday, October 30, 2017 3:41 PM To: Don Butler <n...@comcast.net> Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Deleted Checked status data following upgrade On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 7:43 AM, Don Butler N5LZ wrote: > I have just upgraded from version 7 to version 9 (specifically version > 7.07 to version 9.01) … After opening my version 7 logfile (which had > been copied to the “Save” folder in the newly installed version 9) all DXCC > checked status data seems to have been deleted . Paul was able to determine that this is a migration problem from a v7 log directly to a v9 log. If the log is migrated from v7 *through v8* then to v9, the award status flags are maintained.

Re: [Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?
Hi Jim, I too have never lost my log and I have my doubts that it is a problem with DX4WIN. Your diagnosis of shutting down the computer before the cache is written might be likely especially if the shutdown it done using the power switch. A normal sutdown from the Start menu would ensure the cache is written first. My own practice, like you, is to never shutdown the computer although I do let it go to sleep mode after a period on non use. I also close DX4WIN immediately after any use and then backup the log to another computer on my network. A program such as Karen's Replicator http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptreplicator.asp makes backing up easy. If he doesn't have a second computer then backing up to a different folder on the hard drive or a thumb drive would be my next choice. Backing up to the same hard drive is however, not a very safe form of backup. Hard drives do fail. 73, Don VE3XD -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: January-14-09 12:44 AM To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?

RE: [Dx4win] Writelog to DX4WIN log conversion
Hi Jim, Is this program the same as wl2dx4win.exe? If so I use it all the time. My version is from 2005 but I forget where I got it from. If yours is different then an updated one would be useful. BTW I went to the revealing of the 2009 TL last night in Toronto. Quite a show and a nice update to the TL although now it is much like the 2009 RL. Also bought a dSLR this summer, the Canon Xsi. I'm having great fun with that.

More on the features later. The main reason I wrote it was that I don't like the way DX4WIN imports ADIF files: - it puts Freq= in the Notes for this QSO field, which makes the QSOs look different than non-contest QSOs (i.e. when you have Contest Mode enabled in DX4WIN) - it puts the sent serial number into that same field (even when the contest doesn't have serial numbers, like ARRL FD) - it doesn't put some data in the Recvd field which you might put there if you were using DX4WIN to log the contest, like Class (2A, 1D, etc.) in ARRL Field Day. I mostly use Writelog for RTTY contests, but plan to use it more for other CW/SSB contests. Now onto the program features: - it's Windows GUI based. It's just a .EXE file, it does not use the Windows installer - it inputs the ADIF file that you export from Writelog - it outputs a .DXQ file which DX4WIN can import in DX4WIN6 format - it supports (converts) these contests: BARTG BARTG_SPRINT CAQP CQWW FD (ARRL Field Day) JARTS NAQP NA_SPRINT RU (ARRL RTTY Round-up) SS (ARRL Sweepstakes) WAE WPX Notice these are mostly RTTY contests. If the rules are exactly the same for non-RTTY, then that conversion should work. - CAQP is the only contest so far that automatically converts the CA county abbreviations to actual county names compatible with DX4WIN. I plan to use Writelog this weekend in the contest. Caveats: - I've only tested with Writelog 10.68. I don't know if the APP_WRITELOG fields in the Writelog ADIF file are the same for all versions of Writelog. They also might be different if a contest has different modes, i.e. CQWW CW/SSB and CQWW RTTY. - If the contest has names (like NAQP), importing the converted log may duplicate the name in the Notes for this Call field, i.e. Jim/Jim. This might be true any time you import a log into DX4WIN. - There may be a program like this already out there that I'm unaware of. If there's interest, I can make this program publicly available on an as-is basis. I'll fix bugs and take feature requests, but implementing them will be at my whim. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/Ø, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

[Dx4win] Re: Telnet issues
Hi Gang, I've been reading the posts on telnet issues, and have one of my own to post. I too have an intermittent problem with DX4WIN dropping my telnet connection. To try to ascertain if the problem was one of DX4WIN dropping the connection, I started using AR USER, a cluster program from VE7CC. This program allows me to connect to the cluster and use a local telnet loopback port as DX4WIN's connection to the cluster. I.E., I connect to the cluster with AR USER, and connect to AR USER from DX4WIN. I have noticed that DX4WIN drops me from AR USER at times, even though AR USER is still connected to the cluster. The connection to AR USER is within my own computer, so lan connection problems, modem connection problems etc., are taken out of the possible cause loop. I don't have any suggestions as to why this is happening, so therefore, no comments on how to correct this behavior. There doesn't seem to any pattern to this behavior at all. BTW, AR USER is a great cluster program, with a lot of neat features for easily setting up cluster parameters, auto re-connect, etc.. You can download it at www.dxc.ve7cc.net 73 Don
[Dx4win] AR USER loopback instructions
I've had a request to post instructions on how to do a local loopback from AR USER to DX4WIN...here they are. 1. In AR USER, click on configuration, then on ports. Make sure that under Local Network, TNC is checked. 2. Edit the DX4WIN file dx4win.tcp and add the following address 127.0.0.0:7300 Start AR USER, and connect to your local cluster. Start DX4WIN, and in the packet window, connect to 127.0.0.0:7300 (this is the local telnet loopback port) The spots from AR USER should now be flowing through to DX4WIN. That's all there is to it.

T= hen I want to import and merge the contest log into my existing DW4Win log.= RoverLog only saves in Cabrillo format. =20 CBR2ADIF looks promising, it can convert the Cabrillo format log to ADIF fo= r input to DX4Win. I just downloaded it and will try it tonight on some te= st logs.

[Dx4win] Kenwood Radio control
I have seen a couple of posts regarding problems with 6.02 controlling Kenwood radios. I had a problem with my 570S/G, and re-wrote a control file for the radio. I have attached the file to this note. If you wish to use it, you should copy it to the Radios file in your DX4WIN sub-directory, and then select it in preferences. I noticed that the sequence of commands sent to my 570 was changed since version 5.03, which has caused the problems that many of you may be seeing with controlling your Kenwood radios. The file I attached works with 570's, 870's and I believe that it should work with 2000 and 950 as well. I'm sure that Paul is aware of the change in the sequence of commands that has occurred, and if it gets changed back in 6.03 to the sequence that was written into 5.03, than the file that I have attached will most likely cause you problems! At that time, if problems occur, you should switch to a stock radio file in preferences. Hope this helps. 73 de Don W0DJC [GENERAL] MODEL=Kenwood 570 NOTES=Kenwood without S meter DATE=37606 FLOW= 5.00E+0001 FHIGH= 6.00E+0004 ADDR=0 BAUD=9600 DATAB=1 STOPB=0 CFMT=1 CORDER=0 REV=0 OFSET=1 PABLE= CNFL=0 RMUL= 1.00E+ WMUL= 1.00E+ RITSCL= 1.00E+ SMSCL= 4.00E-0001 FILEINTERFACE= [MODES] AM=5;5;N CW=3,7;3,7;N FM=4;4;N RTTY=6,9;6,9;N SSB=1,2;1,2;N [RC-Clear Clarifier] CSTR=RC; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Init] CSTR=AI0; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Read ID] CSTR=ID; LEN=6 LOC=Other [RC-Read VFO A] CSTR=FA; LEN=14 LOC=VFO B [RC-Read VFO A Xtra] CSTR=IF; LEN=38 LOC=VFO AB [RC-Read VFO B] CSTR=FB; LEN=14 LOC=VFO B [RC-Select VFO A] CSTR=fr0;ft1; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Select VFO B] CSTR=FR1; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set Mode] CSTR=MD0; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set Split off] CSTR=FR0; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set VFO A] CSTR=FA000; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set VFO B] CSTR=FB000; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RF-Clarifier] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=String POS=19 LM=5 [RF-Current VFO] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-Current VFO is A] CMD=No Command FMT=BCD POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Current VFO is B] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=31 LM=1 [RF-ID] CMD=Read ID FMT=String POS=3 LM=3 [RF-Mode] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=String POS=30 LM=1 [RF-RIT] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=24 LM=1 [RF-S meter] CMD=No Command FMT=String POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Sign Clarifier] CMD=No Command FMT=Flag POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Split mode] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=33 LM=1 [RF-VFO A] CMD=Read VFO A FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-VFO B] CMD=Read VFO B FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-Write ID] CMD=No Command FMT=Byte-M POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Write Mode] CMD=Set Mode FMT=String POS=3 LM=1 [RF-Write VFO A] CMD=Set VFO A FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-Write VFO B] CMD=Set VFO B FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-XIT] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=25 LM=1 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) text/plain (text body -- kept) The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.

[Dx4win] 6.0x Misc.
Paul, Some observations and comments on wish list. In answer to PF3 and XP Home...yes, I am seeing the same. I use the RAC, saved to disk, and Golist. I have Callsign Update checked, and Automatic Update checked. If I open DX4WIN from a shortcut, this dos window problem exists. If I open DX4WIN from the .exe file, rather than opening a dos window, the opening and operating of a dos program shows up on the taskbar, which isn't obtrusive. With options checked as they are above, with each letter of a callsign entered, the dos program pops up on the task bar, and then dissappears, until the next letter of the callsign is typed in. My system was a XP upgrade, but I recently changed harddrives, and loaded XP onto a clean drive, so not an upgrade anymore. Would very much like to be able to customize the Same Call window with a report builder like the Logbook window. Be nice to be able to pick and chose what I see. The old map was more 'readable'. Would be nice to be able to pick which spots show in the spot window based on their priority. I.E., don't want to see spots with a priority or 7 or 8, set Ignore to 6, and only see spots with a priority or 6 or less. Possible? Great program Paul, and as I wrote to you before, it's nice to have this forum for all users to participate in, and nice to work with a company who listens to their customer base. 73 de Don W0DJC At 12:12 AM 2/12/2003 -0500, you wrote: John, I'm mixing my comments; starting with *** 1. Existing 6.02 problems (under Windows XP Home anyway) o PSK31 mouse double click still does not populate the QSO window fields properly (known bug) This has been reported previously, but typically for systems that upgraded to XP. On a number of XP systems this works as expected. Looks more like a MS upgrade issue to me at this time. o If my packet, RTTY or rotator window fails to open (local problem with USB ports and RF), the next time I open DX4WIN those windows are all over the place, not where they belong. I have to re-set them. Have to check this o The packet, and maybe RTTY, input area does not remember its size setting. It must be reset every time I open DX4WIN (already reported). *** Known issue; caused by changes in one of the libraries that I use and I have not found a work around. o PF3 causes a large DOS box to appear before the callsign/lookup window appears when DX4WIN is opened with a shortcut. Changing the Startin folder does not help. If DX4WIN is opened directly from the .exe file, no DOS window appears. This problem has also been reported. *** And I have no clue what is causing this to be different. What data source are you using? Just wondering if other XP users see the same? o Re above, if I set Automatic Update, a search begins on the first character typed with no delay, which ties things up for a while and prevents me from completing typing the call *** On-line has a warning about this; bet you have the callsign update option enabled. 2. Wish List o Green-reverse spots when not confirmed even when the contact contributes to nothing (as discussed) *** Done for the next release o Ability to copy a few lines from the packet window so I can paste them into a manager's address window *** Works for me; I think you have to be in holding mode for this to work (to stop text coming in) o Ability to customize fields and their sequence in the Same Call window (I would like to add QSL method, Label?, etc.) *** Will check that out, but not sure how much demand there is for this o See local time in the DX Sunrise/Sunset - Info window -- wasn't that there once? *** This display now uses the 'closest' info available (like state, iota). Old version only used the country information which had a somewhat 'bogus' field containing the time difference for the country with UTC. If I can estimate the local time based on the longitude we would be in business again. o Revert the map to 5.03 where I could see a highlighted country much more clearly *** Not sure what has changed here; highlighted country is shown in Yellow as was done in 5.03 o Double click on RTTY fields to populate QSO fields *** In the planning stage; had more requests for this o Use gray for disabled modes/bands only. Use black for confirmed mode and band. Be able to ignore both. *** Had a few requests for this, but not enough to make this change. Many users are used to the current setup and consequences. (Spots become gray when you work a station that was previously listed as important for example) o Station worked as part of SWL card *** This comes up so now and then, and I don't see the need for this. You confirm to the SWL that you were indeed active on that time on that band. That is what SWL is about. 73, John, K2CIB ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Paul van der Eijk (KK4HD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http
[Dx4win] Color scheme
When I try to click on nothing special in preferences/packet2, the change color window should open, but doesn't. All other colors will allow me to open the change color window. Running 6.02, Windows XP Home, FAT32. Anyone else notice this? Don W0DJC
[Dx4win] Packet Window
I'm not having that problem here. Running Windows XP, 6.02, FAT32. The only option in the packet window that I use is 'Ignore Grayed out spots'. In the screen portion of preferences, I do not have 'Leave all windows in their original position' checked. Don't know if the above makes a difference or not! 73 de Don W0DJC At 07:07 AM 2/9/2003 -0500, you 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
I think the best solution would be to add another color combo for un-worked band/mode combos. If the user is happy with the present system, simply change the new color scheme to green on white, so it has the same look as it does now in 6.02. For those that want to know whether or not a band/mode combo is new, then they will have a new color scheme to know that. (Regardless of whether or not it counts for an award.) Don W0DJC
[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6..01/6.02 Satellite QSOs
I reported this to Paul back in June of 1999 on version 4.04. Paul had the field set to sticky at the request of users who forget to set the field again when making additional SAT entries. This is fine but I requested that the field be when the band was changed away from SAT. This would satisfy both camps. Don -VE1AOE- I noticed that you can set the Satellite field to any combination regardless of what you have selected in the Band field. For example, I can save QSOs that have a 'Band' of 80 meters, and a 'Satellite' setting of 144/435. Does this make sense? Shouldn't the Satellite field be disabled when the Band is set to anything other than SAT? Just curious.
[Dx4win] Version 6.01 and Windows XP
Hello All, Installed 6.01 on a computer with XP operating system. Few of observations. I like the Alt+S save feature in Version 5.03, and I believe that it should be available in version 6.01, but when I enter a contact in 6.01, and then use the Alt+S keystrokes, DX4WIN closes. The whole program closes, not just my log file. I loaded version 6.01 onto a computer running Windows ME, and I can use the Alt+S feature just fine. Anyone else running 6.01 on XP and having the same problem? Also, I have set the map options to Show Spot Country, but I'm not seeing the spot countries prefix or the country being highlighted on the map as spots roll by on the cluster. Again, just me, or is there a problem? Lastly, and I noticed this on both ME and XP, when I merged my .cty files, there were quite a few contacts that had to be cleaned up to get my country counts correct to what I had in version 5.03. FO prefixes, 3X0C/LU, VK9's, some of my K5K contacts, some of my K1B contacts, some FR stuff, VP6DI contacts, etc., had to be cleaned up. Might not be a bad idea to check up on contacts with multi country prefixes. 73 All Don
[Dx4win] Additional Search Features
Paul, I was wondering if you got my post on providing additional search feature for DX4WIN? Being able to use the attributes in the country window W,M,C,S,and checked? Perhaps they could be included as options in the reports generator in the Summary Report. The ability to search a predetermined time frame. Example: Search for QSOs on 80 meters mailed but not confirmed from 1/1/00 to 1/1/03. 73...Don
[Dx4win] Another color scheme question
Hello All, I just saw Erik's color scheme question, and it triggered a question I have had. I have Ignore Gray Spots checked in preferences, so that no gray spots show up in my spots window. I have changed the color scheme on nothing special spots to gray, hoping that they would no longer show up in my spot window as well, but they still do. Has anyone else tried this? It seems that the program is looking at something besides color to determine what goes to the spot window. Thanks Don W0DJC
[Dx4win] Search Features
I would like to be able to search on the Country attributes. For example, QSLs mailed...M or Mailed but not confirmed...M but not C. There may be a way to do this, but I am not aware of it. Any thoughts or help? 73...Don...W4TO
[Dx4win] Release 4.07
I am currently using release 4.05 of DX4Win and would like to update to 4.07 but historical updates do not seem to be availbale on the DX4Win web site. Could anyone tell me where I can find this file. I could certainly use some of the fixes especially the fix to the daylight saving time change which plagues me twice a year.

[Dx4win] Telnet via Cable Modem Timeout
Hi All, First Iam the SYSOP of a cluster here is San Antonio, TX. All are welcom to use this cluster the tel-net tag is listed below. Yes, some clusters us a timer. Yes, some of the telnet software that is used will also time out. Here I use Hi speed DSL, and run 4 servers, the only time I lose a connection is in a bad storm, when the isp has a major maintance window. I also connect my node to a node in Austin TX, we will have up times of over 45 days. Also the SYSOP's may need to take a node down for maintance of files. Try my node, there are no timers, if you are still going down, you may want to check with your ISP to find out if he is running any timmers, that make you reconnect. 73's All Don Hinte, KA5EYH Phone 210.646.9504 E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Page http://ka5eyh.drhnet.com DXC Node dxc-ka5eyh.drhnet.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of K2DBK - David Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2002 10:03 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Telnet via Cable Modem Timeout I have the same problem, and I'm sure it's not RF-related, since sometimes when I've gotten disconnected I've been out of the shack (and not transmitting!) for some time. There are a couple of things to consider here: First, the Internet is not guaranteed to be 100% reliable to all locations (or in fact, generally speaking, to any locations) for the kinds of things we're talking about. There is a lot of infrastructure between your computer and the telnet cluster itself, and depending on a lot of things (more appropriate to an Internet Infrastructure reflector than here, so I'll skip that stuff), if any one of those little pieces shuts down you may loose your connection. The second thing is that it's possible that some clusters require some activity on the end-users part to keep the connection up. This is not just a response to a low-level connectivity check, but actual user input. The reason is that if the cluster has limited resources (memory, CPU, etc.) they might not want to keep lots of inactive users connected. I don't run a telnet cluster, but I'd be curious to hear from anyone who does as to whether they've got an inactivity timer available on the telnet connection to timeout inactive users. FWIW I have the same timeout problem as the others and it is definitly _not_ rf related because it only happens at a computer in my house which is 200 yards from the shack. The shack is not operational at that time, therefore no rf. The shack uses a two meter line which is rock solid. This would dismiss rf as the culprit for most timeout problems. 73, David - K2DBK ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
