Yes, that is what I mean, just a simple way to for example; take a quick look at the activity on a particular band or portion of band. Maybe have a function that would automatically repeat the process at specified intervals. That way you have it running while doing other things in the shack and keep an eye for the band to open.

Thanks

Here's an excerpt from the DXKeeper 8.3.3 release note:

"This release adds a new "IOTA Verified" item to each QSO in your log; it
then proceeds to initialize this new item in each logged QSO, which can take
a few minutes with large logs. A progress window appears while your log's
QSOs are being updated."

The full release note can be found here:

<>

The next release of DXKeeper will similarly update your logged QSOs to

reflect changes in the codes used to represent primary administrative
subdivisions in Italy and Sardinia that were implemented in the
recently-approved ADIF 2.2.4.

Today on starting up DxKeeper a messge popped up on screen: automatic
log update, stated the number of QSOs in the log, then presented a
progress bar which gradually filled up, then disappeared and the log
opened up. Never had this happen before. Explanation please. Would have
searched the help files but that is a bunch of .htm files. Is there
some way of searching those files without doing each one separately? Thanks.

Subject: [dxlab] Possible new feature?



I am a new user of DXLab and am continually amazed at all the features it
has and the phenomenal support both from AA6YQ and this forum. Every time I
read over the manuals for each module I find out something new it can do. I
wonder if there has ever been any thought to adding some sort of band sweep
feature to give a quick look at overall activity on the band, something
similar to what the N4PY and HRD programs have? Not even sure if it is
possible or worth the effort, just thought I would ask here to see what the
consensus is.

Do you mean the ability to scan your transceiver from one frequency to

another while capturing and graphically displaying the instantaneous S-meter
reading?

Dave, AA6YQ

Joe W4TV is the expert on the capabilities and configuration of microHam
products; I defer to him on these matters.

WinWarbler employs the MMTTY engine for RTTY transmission and reception;
many of the settings on the RTTY and PTT tabs of WinWarbler's Config window
directly control the MMTTY engine's behavior.

In order to give users full access to MMTTY's capabilities -- viewing and
tuning the filters used in its RTTY decoder, for example -- WinWarbler
provides access to MMTTY's Setup window. Access to this Setup window can
lead to confusion, however. If you modify an MMTTY engine parameter via its
Setup window, the change will take effect when you close Setup window;
however, this change will not be permanent if the parameter is one that is
also controlled by WinWarbler. The next time you start WinWarbler, it will
initialize this parameter to the previous value, overriding the change you
made on the MMTTY engine's Setup window. Changes to MMTTY engine parameters
that can be made via the RTTY and PTT tabs of WinWarbler's Config window
should only be made from these tabs; only parameters uniquely accessible
from the MMTTY engine's Setup window should be changed there.

Dave, AA6YQ

Spot Spy is a DXL add on written by DL9HO, hence the German site.



If you have Spot Spy installed and running.



1. Click on the Config button

2. Click on the tab labeled Alarms

3. Check the box Send E-mail (Note in the US/Canada, you probably will
never use the SMS config as is requires an SMS provider gateway)

4. In the email config, enter your "email address" of your cell phone
to send SMS messages

a. See in order to
determine your email address of your cell phone in order to send SMS
messages to it.

b. For instance if your provider is Verizon, use 1234567890@...
(replace the numbers with your 10 digit cell number)

5. Enter the email server info like you did for your PC email client
(outlook, etc)

6. You can set the alert triggers under the Alarms tab as well, in
addition to using the Needed Callsigns tab to enter specific calls, modes
and bands.



There are a bunch of other features, but that should get you started.

Well not with DXLab but in addition to it. You start watching a movie
but leave SpotCollector running in the background. When an interesting
spot comes in, you pause the movie, work the DX then go back to your
movie :-)

That's what I do. Joe DX tells me when I need to go down the hall to
N5UWY to work something. :-)

Yes, priorities. One of my priorities is to limit my TeeVee watching
to stuff I like, when *I* want to watch it. I sort of knew that in
pre-DVR days, but tape management was always a hassle with the VCR.
Now my problem is that I tend to let content accumulate on the DVR
without watching it.

It's changed my viewing habits so much that if a new show catches my
interest, I have to ask if I am ready to commit to watching the new
content given what else I watch. More often than not, I say "nah".
Just said "yes" to Dr Who, though that is delivered by DVD/USPS; I
don't have the right setup to stream it directly from Netflix (their
postal distribution system works great though).

"Net net", as they say, is that we watch a lot less TeeVee. Not what
the conduit and content providers had in mind, I'm sure. :-)

But back to DXLabs. Storage is sort of a big-picture kind of topic,
but it *is* part of running DXLabs, I assure you. Understanding what
is available and potentially, what to avoid, is important.

The change I made to allow Commander 8.0.9 to initialize a K3 that was
powered up after Commander was already running resulted in compete failure
to initialize on a few systems. I have corrected this in Commander 8.1.0,
which I have sent you via email.

To answer your earlier question, yes, you could revert to Commander 8.0.5.
In general, one can always revert to a previous version of a DXLab
application; I encourage users to retain at least one known good working
version just in case a situation like that of Commander 8.0.9 occurs. The
only exception occurs when a new release of DXKeeper adds fields to the log
database; once a log is expanded, earlier versions of DXKeeper are unable to
open it. This does not happen very often, and its publicized when it does so
that users can take additional precautions.

Its also the case that no release is mandatory. You can skip new releases
that appear at inconvenient times or don't provide new capabilities you deem
compelling. When you finally do upgrade, you'll get everything you would
have gotten had you installed each new release in sequence.

Joe/Dave, thanks for trying to help. My setup is the same as you’ve
recommended albeit I use a com port not EXTFSK with my MKII. Perhaps my
problem is Vista. Hopefully sooner or later Vista and Win7 specific

EXTFSK should not be used with microHAM microKEYER,
microKEYER II, DigiKeyer or MK2R/MK2R+. Those interfaces
provide a UART that is equivalent (except or PTT timing
issues) to a motherboard serial port.

Set the "PTT" or "PTT & FSK" port on the MMTTY TX tab to the
port you have defined for FSK in microHAM Router. In addition
set WinWarbler's RTTY "modulation and transceiver mode" to
FSK LSB and select your FSK port in the FSK Control box.

I wasn't running two instances of the program. I was running one instance. When I cleared the password and command windows, I was able to log in fine. The initial command box was set to "N1HT".

However, when I left-click on the green button for each of the sites, only the window for KB1H opens up. I can click on the others until the cows come home and nothing happens. What's up with that?

Dave,
Thanks for the great info!? Not only did it "cure" the UP0L problem, it also identfied a some problem calls and will lead to fixing some that I put in a fake country code just to get it entered into the log.? Sorry I missed this in the manual, but I have a long way to go in learning how to fully use this great capability.? Thanks for all you do it making it available and answering so many questions.

I have been using DXLab for over a year when I can find the time and
continue to be amazed at all that it can do.? I think I have only begun to
scratch the surface of the capabilities and have just recently got started
with WinWarbler.? Thanks to everyone who has been part of providing us such
a wonderful capability.

Most things I have been able to figure out but I am stuck on a problem with
DXKeeper.? I have downloaded the latest country file.? But when I put in
UP0L I have a problem.? Same problem occurs with another call that I don't
remember at the moment.? Anyway, with UP0L, both DXView and DXKeeper come up
with UN as the country and the proper country code.? But when I try to LOG
the QSO, the DXCC title for the country field starts flashing red.? No
matter what I do, I cannot save the QSO unless I put in some other country
code.?

So why does it recognize the call with the correct DXCC entity information
but won't let me save it?? How do I resolve the problem?

When you update the DXCC database and the new version introduces new DXCC

entities or changes the prefixes associated with existing DXCC entities, it
is necessary to direct DXKeeper to perform a Recompute. Since you don't
mention the version of the DXCC database you were using before you updated
to the latest version, I suggest perform this Recompute; you'll find the
Recompute button at the bottom of the Main window's "Check Progress" tab. If
this doesn't clear up the problem with your UP0L QSO, please let me know.

That Keyer has a USB to serial port chip in it, model FT232RL
manufactured by FTDI. I wouldn't be surprised to find that
Microham is using the same chip (Joe?).

microHAM use FTDI USB UART chipsets. Most of the current designs
use the FT232R but older units used other FTDI chips like the
FT232B. However, the same driver package supports all of the
chipsets.

Note, FTDI support two modes of operation - VCP (virtual COM
Port) and D2XX (DLL calls). The problem K6KR refers to is one
in which some vendors disable the D2XX modes in their drivers
(or distribute older drivers that did not support D2XX).
Fortunately, such irresponsible behavior had generally faded
and FTDI have released "common" drivers for all 32/64 bit
versions of Windows (Windows 2000 - Windows 7) as of 3 Nov
2009.
