[Dx4win] DX4WIN version 8.05
Hello, I go portable a lot on the Appalachian Trail. I like using the DX4Win 8.05 on my old Libretto 110CT computer. This computer is about the size of a VCR cassette tape. It is a 233 MHz processor with 64 MB of RAM running Windows XP Pro. The computer is maxed out for any upgrades and everything is off that can be without turning off the computer. Wonder if there is anything in the DX4WIN 8.05 that I can turn off that would make it run a little faster other than upgrading to a new laptop. Please reply directly to my e-mail address 73 Thanks Ron de WB3AAL __ 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] DX4WIN version 8.05
Sorry for the blank message, let's try that again: My 2 cents is that you are to be congratulated for getting XP pro to run in only 64MB of RAM. I'm up to I think 1.5 or 2G of RAM on this box (a fairly recent Dell desktop) and it's OK, but I wouldn't call it blazing fast. There's not a whole lot that you can turn off. You can leave off the callsign lookups.close the Other QSOs window, don't run cluster (not terribly useful anyway while on the trail), and generally just keep the QSOs window only open in as small a configuration as you can. (Pressing F5 cycles the sizes). I guess basically you want to have the computer doing as little as possible, which includes having to redraw windows. Good luck! -- 73, David, K2DBK http://k2dbk.blogspot.com http://k2dbk.com twitter: @k2dbk __ 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] DX4WIN version 8.05
I agree with David K2DBK. F5 your logging window to it's smallest config and only open 'same call' window (so you know if you have worked before). Bring the other windows up as needed, then shut them 'off' (not min). WOW XP PRO on 64 meg of mem. The hard drive must be working overtime as Windows offloads to the hard drive when mem runs low... I wanna run DX4WIN on my DROID X. DX4DROID !!! 73, Art W6KY www.w6ky.com . I used to be indecisive.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN version 8.05
Hi All, I can't remember if I'm having a senior moment or if something has really changed. I am using a Yaesu FT-1KMp MKV and the program does not seem to read the split or QSX frequency when posting a spot. When clicking on a spot the radio splits fine if the spot was posted correctly. I've noticed this with 8.04 and now 8.05 and wonder if there is something I forgot to do with the upgrade. Also when logging the QSO there is no notification of using split. Hopefully someone can confirm my sanity check.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN version 8.05
Change the icon on your desktop to one from the 8.05 package. Some of these are version-specific. Move your license file from 8.04 to 8.05. The file is (your callsign)_lic.dx4w8 and is currently in your main DX4WIN directory in 8.04. No tickee, no shirtee. On 1/30/2011 5:10 PM, A737Driver wrote: Mr. Paul, Is there a trick?
