Re: Having problem connecting DXLab Commander with Flex 6400!

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

New user here.

+ Welcome to DXLab, Roland!

Was able to install DXLab applications and had no problem connecting Commander to the Flex 6400, by specifying the IP and Port address. Upgraded to the new Commander today and I have lost the connection.
Followed documentation to run older exe file to no avail.

+ What happen when you run the previous version of Commander?

If I go to ports and select a port with 19200 - 8,none,2,off,on, nothing connects.

I am running Windows 11 and did not upgrade. Failed to do a restore point before upgrade of Commander.
I am at a lost! Any ideals what I can try.

+ Commander 16.0.3 successfully connects to my Flex 6500 via TCP. So that I can see what's going on, please do the following:

1. start Commander

2. on the Configuration window's General tab, check the "Log debugging info" box

3. terminate Commander

4. start Commander

5. wait 1 minute

6. on the Configuration window's General tab, uncheck the "Log debugging info" box

7. attach the errorlog.txt file from your Commander folder to an email message, and send the email message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersoft.com

Re: Invalid administrative subdivision errors

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

I have a log started, but would like to start a fresh log. I think I can simply rename my existing log and create a new log with the original name of my old log...Yes?

+ There is no reason to do that. In DXKeeper, simply correct the DXCC Prefix in the imported QSO by changing it from K to KH6.

+ Just to be clear, the root cause of this situation is that the logging application from which you exported the ADIF file allowed you to log a QSO with inconsistent components: a DXCC entity of "Continental US" with a State of "Hawaii". DXKeeper imported the ADIF record, and informed you of the inconsistency so that you could correct it. DXKeeper couldn't automatically perform the correction because it has no way of knowing which item is incorrect: the DXCC entity, or the State.

Re: Invalid administrative subdivision errors

 

If you've already imported the log, make the change in
DXKeeper's Log QSOs tab. Select the QSO and make the
change to either: Code (set to 110), DXCC (set to KH6)
or Entity (set to Hawaii). It could not be more simple.

Agree with all Joe. ?I was just alerting folks that they might want to check LOTW online to get the latest date if it is a station they are interested in. ?Ordinarily I would disregard this station based on the 2023 last upload date shown in DXView or JTAlert. ?Also these would never show up as an LOTW call in SpotCollector unless someone is using a long time frame to determine active LOTW stations.

if he is using Adif Master, that is much better then just a text editor for most.
its quite easy to edit a text file and miss the character count, which will cause errors.

I was thinking if its only 2 entries, you could just re enter them directly in the log.
if you are trying to tweak an adi file you need to change

HamSpots shows you spotting from JTAlert indicating your use of JTAlert. That suggests that the SC local spots are likely originating from JTAlert. Turn off SC spotting in the JTAlert Settings windows "DXLab Suite" section.

Are you using "direct" integration between WSJTX and DXLab
