Re: [Dxbase] Changing radios in DXBase

Its time to just admit it and play taps for DXbase. Its been dead for about 5 years, and the smell is not attracting any new users. I had to move on, I did not want to, but was "forced" to, I work the new bands 136khz and 475khz and with DXB not able to log those qsos, thus they cannot

Re: [Dxbase] FW: !! NEW VERSION time coming soon ----Re: Interesting Problem

Amen, Joe has helped me many times, to convert old DOS logs into DXbase, fixing problems, dumb thumbs on my part etc. Even called me on the phone on his dime, many thanks to Joe. New version, if any one is hanging around for that one you better figure on using it from your eternal

Re: [Dxbase] Thoughts from Joe WA6AXE - abt DXbase's future

Double dittos on about all that has been said, I like the screen layout of DX base or would have been gone long ago, I had a note written earlier but deleted it and I see most have the same thoughts so no use venting here. People get in over their heads all the time, so this is nothing new,

[Dxbase] Add a new band

Neil, any chance there is a way to add a new band to DXbase or you add it and I get a file or ?? I operate 630 meters under an experimental license and would like to log some of those contacts, I need 630M or 475KHZ added as a band when logging. Actually need 135KHZ added as well as that is

Re: [Dxbase] 60M

Mine works fine on any band 60 included, I have the box checked to take band and mode info from the transceiver, so whatever the radio is set at is what is logged. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 There had been some discussion about the wrong mode being logged with DXBase on 60M. I tried a fix in the

Re: [Dxbase] Clublog

Agree, many errors, only DXbase errors I get are when I am do dumb to update it or keep it current. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 I personally have found hundreds of errors in their database, especially the ones going back to the 50's through the 80's. Yes, there are exceptions... What a PITA.. I'm

Re: [Dxbase] Call/Portable Database

I just ran a day of W1AW/KH6 and another coming Monday, all I did is create a new DB from the file tab / new database, and its ready to go, does not need the title W1AW/7.db.. when your done just create the ADIF file and make that name W1AW/7 and mail it to the coordinator. I did that and

Re: [Dxbase] Call/Portable Database

If you are trying to use the /7 it may be the reason also, I just tried and created one just using W1AW.. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 If I try to create a new database ... W1AW/7 ... the program barfs. How are folks who participate in the ARRL Centennial handling this ? Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ

Re: [Dxbase] LOTW uploads and processing WAIT times ..

Yes I see 12 days, and there is still a problem as LOTW upload lost 2 of my uploads after the so called fix. Going to upload again until they show in the backlog. I think they are running DOS and a 8088 IBM desktop to do the job, at the speed things are moving, hope they bought something newer

Re: [Dxbase] wish list for new release

Don, I dont use DXB to control the radio, but I use it to read the radios freq and mode etc. So DXB already does all those things without any input from the operator. Merv K9FD/KH6 I don't use rig control via DxBase. That said, does not DXBase read the frequency and mode from the radio?

Re: [Dxbase] :  Something stupid that I have done in the past

There is no doubt that club log has errors, and they are being worked on. But my DXbase has no known errors, if you keep your datbase up to date and watch what you log, there is not a problem. The only errors I get are operator errors, mainly where I start to log one station and change the

Re: [Dxbase] [DxBase] DxBase Desk Top Concept

I dont usually jump into the pile with my opinion, but going to have to side with Rick and Ron, the current type screen system for DXbase is one of the reasons I use it, I have many other logging programs and while several do as well as DXbase none have the screen features that I prefer, so if

Re: [Dxbase] LoTW Update

And be sure and make a backup of your database first, a wrong push of the button and you can end up with no log but the LOTW log, have dumb thumbed it once or twice. Merv KH7C Yes it is. On your desktop click the START button then All Programs and in the list Find the DXbase 2007

Re: [Dxbase] Internal DXbase Keyer

My vote goes with ILYA, if you have any load at all on the computer the keying from DXB is erratic, if your sending 10 or 15 wpm perhaps its ok but normal speeds of 30 plus are very erratic. I run several other programs at the same time, DXMON, LP Bridge to use the K3, softrock panadapter,

Re: [Dxbase] My comments to Joe

Dont want to start an arguement, but Joe has helped me also in so many ways, recently he relaimed a log I thought was lost forever that was done in DOS DXB. It was from an expedition my friend W0RI and I did to put China on 160 meters back in 1998. I had to use DOS due to the only computer

Re: [Dxbase] GlobalQSL service - do you use it? Joe wa6axe

That is my understanding and how it was from the start, I dont have that problem being KH7 so for me it works fine. As long as the cards are from DX to USA they are accepted. Its just from USA to USA that is not accepted. There was some comments about the cost of the service, let me explain

Re: [Dxbase] Invalid QSLs

How about just un-checking the box that says valid for what you want, it will set whether the QSO counts or not for DXCC, that way its left in the log but not counted for anything. valid is in the logging columns towards the left side a ways, depending on how large your monitor is. Merv KH7C

[Dxbase] Summary data confused

I updated from DXB 2003 to 2007 several days ago and all has been working well until today. The summary box is all confused. It shows totally different info than what the DXCC output data shows. For instance if I log a 5N station it shows that country worked and confirmed on every band, but if
