Feature request of is there already a script
FireBrick
For various reasons, usually copy/paste, a lot of the First Names in the Name Column have a Lower Case letter.
Usually it's how the person sent it in PSK mode. Or my too lazy to hit the Caps Key when typing. Is there a way to designate the first letter Character in the name column to be Upper Case? I have no idea how to use the Advanced Sorts, Filter etc. feature to figure that out. Happy Holidays. Only Cam 1 shows my Xmas Decorations, and unfortunately is too close to show the whole thing. But your all welcome to view anyway. Sort of a internet Xmas Visit. I've enabled the 'Chat Box', feel free to visit. If you see the back of my head in cams 4 or 5....I'm not dead, just dozed off again. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------- "That's the last time I'll pet a lion," said Tom offhandedly. ---------------------------------------------------------- TOWER/WEBCAMS and Weather Page @ |

Re: Commander 8.0.9 is available
Engaged "Memory Banks"I can confirm this behavior ... enabling "memory banks" display - which I have never used - causes the A and B buttons and "dual receive" box to start flashing. It also causes Commander to ignore the "command interval" setting and begin polling as fast as possible (15 milliseconds between strings of commands). 73, ... Joe, W4TV -----Original Message----- |

Re: Problem with QRZ subscription service
If you do a manual lookup on OD5ET, you will notice that there are Arabic
characters in the name field. Perhaps that is causing the problem. 73, Cliff K3LL From: dxlab@... [mailto:dxlab@...] On Behalf Of Bob Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 10:14 AM To: dxlab@...

Re: Log on two PC's??
I have a master and several ¡°slave¡± computers. I created a .bat file (remember those?) called GO.BAT which contains the following commands:
xcopy "c:\program files\dxlab suite\dxkeeper\databases\k3ll.mdb" \\cliff2\shareddocs\dxl\*.* <file:///\\cliff2\shareddocs\dxl\*.*> /y /v pause This file runs on the master PC and copies to one of the slaves. I placed the file in my Startup folder so that it runs every time the PC is booted. Plus it provides a small measure of semi automatic backup. I also created short cut to the GO.BAT so that I can run it whenever I need to (like after working VK9XX!). On the slave computers I just do a recompute in SC and I am set. 73, Cliff K3LL From: dxlab@... [mailto:dxlab@...] On Behalf Of Mark C. Killmon Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 5:59 AM To: dxlab@...

Pathfinder not running!
DANNY DOUGLAS
Every time that I double click on a spot on SC, I get the window "Callbook error Required version of Pathfinder not running". Have closed both PF and SC a couple or more times, and both are showing up as connected in each others info in brackets at the top of their respective pages. When I click on pathfinder in the launcher window, the PF window comes up with the Pathfinder - a member of the DXKabs suite of free amateur radio software, last search library update 29 Aug 2009 etc. When I put my own call on the SC search call, in the PF box, and click on QRZ ubtton, QRZ.com comes up correctly. Running the most updated update on all Lab programs. XP Pro, etc.

Problem with QRZ subscription service
Anyone see this problem...
Had DXKeeper lockup and become unresponsive when entering a contact into the capture window. Did not time out and had to reboot to fix it. After playing around it appears that my QRZ subcription service lookup was what was causing it and whatever it did , DXkeeper did not like it. Changed the configuration lookup to the Pathfinder/QRZ choise and all worked well. Tried the subscription again and it failed. Still acting up as of 15z. Will try it again later in the day.

In addition to the amount of disk storage, I couldn't believe the small size of this one. I have a 500 GB MyBook and this little guy is half that size! I can feel that it's running, but I can't hear it. For the guys wanting to know how I can do DXLabs and TV at the same time - we took the low tech approach - we have a baby monitor system with the TX in the shack and the RX wherever we want it to be. When Joe DX hollers we come a-running! I keep threatening to make recordings to create our own Josephine DX so we have different voices - one for the wife and one for me. At the moment, our workaround is to have her version announce the callsign while mine doesn't. As soon as we hear a callsign, we know "...it's for you dear!"
