Re: [Dx4win] Packet settings

[Joe]

Hi David,
Thanks for the quick response.  Sorry I've taken so long, but I was away a
couple of days.
The fields are still blank and I can't enter anything into them, but I'm
able to connect to all my usual clusters including K1EU (local) and K1TTT.
It's still a puzzle, but as long as it works...
Happy Holidays es 73,
Joe. K1JB

Hi Joe,

I no longer have 8.05 so the info here is from version 9, but it should be
similar. The only settings that matter on the Packet1 tab would be Type set
to "Normal" and COM port set to TCP/IP.

The fact that you can connect to some clusters and not other is possibly an
Internet issue. Can you give a couple of examples of clusters that you can
connected to and some that you can't? Can you try connecting to K1TTT, which
I know is up and running right now.

Greetings and Merry Christmas.

Everything worked well earlier today, but just now when I tried to get
packet spots DX4WIN, version 8.05, nothing happened.  I looked at
Preferences (I'm at User Level-Expert, but sure don't feel like one) and
found all the Packet Setup Parameters blank. For example, the Type window is
blank.  If I click on the arrow inside the window it shows a choice of None
or Regular.  If I click on either, the choices disappear, but the Type
window is still blank.  The same is true of the COM Port, Baud Rate, Flow,
Data/Parity, etc.  All these had entries before but are now blank.

To make it more confusing, I could still connect to a distant server, but
couldn't connect to any in New England.

Firefox, email, and packet spots on N1MM+ Logger are all working OK.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks es 73.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Connection

[abwltrs]

Hello Jim,

Thank you.  K2CAN and AB5E both work; couldn't find W0MU.  Now here is what I 
did after my previous post.

I feared that my original configuration file became corrupted.  So I removed 
C:\dx4w903 and downloaded a fresh install.
Then I dropped my license into the dx4w folder, my log files into the Save 
folder, and manually reconstructed the configuration file from scratch.
Then I saved and then loaded the new configuration file and launched the 
program, opened and arranged the windows, then opened the band map.  Success!  
With this I followed your directions and am online with AB5E.

I still don't know why I can connect to K5TX using N1MM and not DX4W.  But all 
works as it should, posts appear in the band map and my radio follows when a 
post is clicked.  I am not about to quarrel with success nor question how or 
why.

Thanks so much for your reply and help.

73,

Al Walters - K5NOF

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Window gone...

[Paul van der Eijk]

Luis,

If the laptop has a smaller screen than the main computer, that window may
be off
the screen.

To get around this, save the configuration as a text file,
(File | Preferences | File | Write configuration file)

Use Notepad to edit this file

Near the end of the file, look for [W-SPOT] and set the
values for LEFT=0 and TOP=0

Save the file and use it to load the configuration from a text file
(File | Preferences | File | Load configuration file)

The packet window should be visible now

I'd try connecting to another Cluster address. That happens to my favorite
Cluster from time to time.when they are down. I just go to another
cluster in the listbingoproblem solved. Later when my
favorite/local cluster comes back up, I'll connect to it again. It's most
likely your favorite cluster is simply down right now.

You can edit the list by going into the cluster file in the SAVE 
folder. It's a .txt fill. I put my favorites at the top of the 
listand then all of the others below. You could even delete the 
ones you never use. Or even make a backup file with all of them, while 
the file you actually use could only have the few you use all the 
time. You can always go back to the backup file...and often the 
cluster list fille gets updated anyway.


Related, you can go into preferencs and set the cluster you want to 
automatically connect to every time at startup.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet windows in latest version

[kostas sv1dpi]

you can minimize them. If you want to close them, you need to go to

The band map is probably behind other windows. Try move them to find it.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Filtering

[John Warburton G4IRN]

Thanks for the off-reflector replies to this query.

I have come to the conclusion that I cannot do what I want to do. The DX 
Alerts parameter relates to voice alerts and the 'ignore grey and black 
spots' simply ignores P8 and P9 spots. Indeed, if you change the colour 
of these, they are still ignored!  So at best, it is badly labelled.


It would be nice to filter out unwanted spots though!

73 John G4IRN.

Yet still I see spots in the packet window of priority 6 and 7 - in 
addition to those I want of P1-P5 (well I see P2-P5 anyway).


Actually the DX Alerts setting doesn't seem to make much difference.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Filtering

[Dan Violette]

Don't see a reply yet.  I am not the best to answer since I let everything
through, but some things I do know:

DX Alerts are the audible notices.  This allows you to specify what you want
announced (voice, alarm, etc,)
Ignore Gray/Black I think is the highest level you can go to block.

I do not think this would work, but, have you tried setting the color for
the items you do not want to see to black?  Maybe you only want level 1, 2,
3 then set 4+ to black (or gray).  Pay careful attention to what each level
does.  I think there is some overlap.  I want new bands and modes for each
DXCC and level 6 is more important to me than 4 & 5.  I pay attention to all
background highlighted spots.  That is if I have kept the default spot
colors where levels 1, 2, 3 & 6 are highlighted.  I may have done that
myself (forget since have had Ver 8 since it first came out years ago).

It can't be done.

Once your "preferred" node is at the top of the list, when starting
DX4WIN, in the Packet Window, type the Enter key three times.  This
should get you through all the windows and connect.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Cluster Connection via Function Key problem

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

I recommend using AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) which you can 
use to do the automatic connection and more.


I have an AHK macro key that fires up my ham "workstation", which opens 
Dx4Win and starts the cluster connection, and opens up a couple of other 
useful programs at the same time. For something simple like that, you 
invest maybe 30 minutes to learn enough about AHK to do what you need to 
do, set it up, and forget about it.

I can connect easily to our cluster via right clicking and selecting the 
internet address.

What I can’t do is to connect using the same address via a function key.  All 
other commands that I programmed work fine, just can’t connect.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

It can't be done.

Once your "preferred" node is at the top of the list, when starting
DX4WIN, in the Packet Window, type the Enter key three times.  This
should get you through all the windows and connect.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Window

[Dennis Johnson]

Wayne, Jim,

Thanks for asking the question Wayne, and thanks for the answer Jim.
I've been looking for my packet window for the last six months!!
I had a hunch it was off screen, but couldn't figure out how to get it
back.

Hi Jim, yes it was off screen and thank you. The box was checked all along 
so I changed the screen shot scale factor from 80 to 70% and got the packet 
window back.
So your clue that it could be off screen  was the right direction.

Check the box leave all windows in original position.  Then save and

See if that fixes it.

They're enabled when you have DX spots configured in your preferences

DX4WIN will just turn them gray.  If you truly don't want to see them,
then learn how to use the commands on your DX cluster node for
filtering spots.

It's not.  Check the recent reflector postings, and this application

Re: [Dx4win] packet questions new user

[Dan Violette]

From you message below:  Don't forget not to update with Jim's program this
file.

If you put the -tcp=local.tcp switch where local.tcp can be any file
name, it will prepend this file during update to the DX4WIN.tcp.  I have a
few TCP addresses I like always at the top and this puts them there at the
update time.

Read the whole help page on the updater.  Quite powerful when you get it
set-up the way you want it.

Re: [Dx4win] packet questions new user

[David Gould]

I had wondered the same question..  Just one follow-up.

I use the local connection (to VE7CC).  Is there a way to move this 
to the top of the list (currently 5th) so I can use the 3 x ENTER process.

Is there an option to clear, automatically, all the old spots when 
starting a new session.  If not this would be a useful option.

Yes, there is no auto-login.  However, once you have chosen a node,
the next time you start DX4WIN, move the mouse pointer into the the
Packet Spots window, then type the ENTER key three times.  The first
time it says there's no connection.  The second time brings up node
list.  And the third time selects node at the top of the list.  Then
you should get your node login prompt in the Packet Spots window.

   I had wondered the same question..  Just one follow-up.
  
   I use the local connection (to VE7CC).  Is there a way to
   move this to the top of the list (currently 5th) so I can use
   the 3 x ENTER process.
  
   Is there an option to clear, automatically, all the old spots
   when starting a new session.  If not this would be a useful
 option.

   Yes, there is no auto-login.  However, once you have chosen
   a node, the
   next time you start DX4WIN, move the mouse pointer into the
   the Packet
   Spots window, then type the ENTER key three times.  The
   first time it
   says there's no connection.  The second time brings up node
   list.  And
   the third time selects node at the top of the list.  Then you
 should
   get your node login prompt in the Packet Spots window.

Re: [Dx4win] packet questios new user

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

Unfortunately, there's no auto-login feature built into DX4WIN. However, 
you can make things easier by using this technique: After starting 
DX4WIN, click anywhere on the packet window, then press Enter. You'll 
get a little popup that says No connection active. Press enter again 
and you'll get the list of available packet clusters. The most recently 
used one will be on top (at least in recent versions.) Press enter one 
more time and you'll be connected. At that point, you do have to type in 
a callsign, though you can also program it onto one of the function keys 
which might save a little time.

As for seeing the spotter's callsign, try making the DX spots window 
wider (or adjust the size of some of the other columns by positioning 
the cursor over the | at the top and dragging) and you'll see the 
Spotter column, it's the second from the end on the right.

The spotter callsign is a column in the DX Spots window.  If you don't
see the spotter callsign, maybe your DX Spots window needs to be
widened (just like any other Windows window, pull the right-hand
margin to the right).  When you exit DX4WIN and restart, the window
should return to the size you set it to.

Once you get things set up the way you like it, export your
preferences to a .INI file.  File | Preferences then File | Write INI
file.  Default name is DX4WIN, that's fine.  It will be stored in your
SAVE directory.

 Like many of us, I learned some years ago just enough cluster commands to get

 Recently, I decided to tailor my internet cluster connections to give me 
 exactly what I want -- and I learned a lot with hours of Google research.   I 
 now have it working (almost) exactly the way I want.

 What I want is:

 To receive spots only from the US and Canada
 To receive DX spots only from surrounding states (I live in Georgia)
 To receive DX spots only for the bands and modes for which I'm active
 To receive DX spots only for the ARRL entities that I need; that is, those 
 for whom I've not received a paper QSL

 It took a lot of research and experimentation to get this working perfectly 
 -- but I did it!  If you'd like to see my commands (as examples), email me 
 off list and I'll send them to you.

 After you sign on to a cluster in DX4WIN, you can send the cluster commands 
 to the cluster and it will remember them. If you use more than one cluster, 
 just send the commands to each.

 All spots incoming real-time are processed through the filters just fine; I 
 only see the ones I want.

 Here's my question.  Even after you've established your filters on a cluster, 
 typing show/dx ignores your filters and shows the most recent spots.  Is 
 there a command that will show/dx through my filters?

 If not it seems a very strange omission from the command structure.

Thank you for your suggestion.  Data is displayed in the Packet Window and

The problem is in the DX spots [DXCC] sorted by Time window.  I did try

It sounds like the packet filters defined on the Packet 2 tab of your

spots as a valid format.  Can you restore your preferences from an
.INI file (Preferences | Merge INI file)?

Re: [Dx4win] Packet spots spotter State identity

On Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 4:35 PM, george goofy...@rochester.rr.com wrote:

 The state of the spotter (where he is currently) was noted on the far right
 side of the spot. I looked at my DX4WIN which is the latest version and I

 As an example I saw a spot by a K3 station for a DX station. When I went to
 the frequency I heard nothing. A check on QRZ.COM had shown that the K3
 station was really in Az.

 Does DX4WIN support this in its packet spot window? If so how do I get it to
 indicate such?

Hi George,

First, it depends on what cluster node you are connected to, what
software that node is running (i.e. AR-Cluster, DX Spider, etc.) and
whether your user profile has the spotters's state turned on or off.

Given all that, if the state appears to the RIGHT of the GMT field in
a packet spot, then it should show up in the Packet Spots window
assuming you have made the window wide enough.  It will NOT show up in
the DX spots window, since there is no field or column to put it in.

If the state appears to the LEFT of the GMT field, then it may show up
in the DX spots window at the far right of the Remarks column,
assuming that column is wide enough to display the full comment.  To
widen it, grab the vertical line between Remarks and Spotter in
the gray header and drag it to the right.

Just a suggestion Steve. As you have to re-arrange windows to take

minimize the packet window after you connect since all the useful data 
appears in the Spot or Announcement window. That's what I do here.

 Yes, I realize I can resize the window to have the entire spot fit on

 I've played with the settings on the  Packet 2 tab in  preferences to

  shrink/delete all the white-space that seems to be  there with the new

 Thanks for any pointers

Re: [Dx4win] Packet window formatting

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hi Steve,

The Packet Window did not change in V8.  Did you import your
preferences (via .INI file) from V7 to V8?  My Packet Window looks
exactly the same in V7 and V8.

Maybe the cluster node you're connecting to is sending out a wider
format.  You can set SET/WIDTH to narrow it.

 For several versions now, I've had my DX4W windows arranged and sized the
 same.  WIth v8, the display of incoming spots (telnet) in the packet window
 now is causing a line-wrap for every spot because of spacing/formatting.

 Yes, I realize I can resize the window to have the entire spot fit on one

Sounds like it might be your ISP or the node you're trying to connect to.

You might consider using the VE7CC AR/CC User program from 
http://ve7cc.net.  It will do automatic re-connects if the connection is 
lost, then backfill the missing spots.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet Cluster Time Out

[Ernie]

Don,

I had a timeout problem last winter during contest season which I 
finally figured out. My DX4WIN would time out on occasion (no more than 
a couple times a day). I was used to that. But when I started using it 
for cluster spots while operating one big contest weekend, it kept 
timing out every few minutes. I am connected to the internet via DSL, 
with the DSL modem sitting near my operating desk. So after putting up 
with this for an hour or so, I placed the modem where I could see it and 
discovered that I would loose my DSL connection when I transmitted on 
160 meters. Other bands didn't bother it, but 160 did. My solution was 
to place a .01 mfd bypass capacitor across the phone line at the DSL 
jack and wrapped the phone line a few times through a ferrite core. The 
RF must have been picked up by the overhead phone line near the 160 
antenna and brought in to the house.


That just shows that sometimes it can be a hardware problem. :-)
