?
Dave, et al.,
I think this has been discussed before but some time ago.
Is there some combination of filters and reports that will list QSO's
with countries for which one has no QSL (card or LOTW)? The report from
real-time progress will list the countries, but not the QSOs with those
countries. I can do (and have done) this in ACCESS, but it is a bit of
a pain. If the confirmed flag in the country database file were
available (on a read-only basis, of course) it would be easy.
My particular problem is that I have about 120 countries worked on 12M
but only ~75 confirmed. I need to filter just those QSO's which will
advance the objective of reaching 100 confirmed, giving me 8-band DXCC.
Thanks for any help.

Re: DX Lab and Open Indiana Unix compatibility?
Thanks Dave, and as it turns out Open Indiana SHOULD run as Oracle does. ?Both were derived from the same Open Solaris source. ... But the proof is in the pudding as they say so stay tuned.?
and Thanks also to Gil for his input... and the reason Gil is that Microsoft keeps putting out this Bloatware that keeps getting larger and I get very little for it. ?When I migrated to DX Lab a year or so ago I had plenty of extra RAM I could even run a few extra programs when necessary. ?Now as it stands I have 12k or RAM left after booting and running DX Lab and as a result the program keeps swapping parts of DX Lab out to disk. ?
Besides UNIX/LINUX etc. ?runs considerably faster and is more flexible. The one caveat is that you occasionally have trouble getting drivers for a particular piece of hardware....?
Thanks guys..

Step-by-step instructions for uploading QSOs to Club Log are here:
<http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/ClubLogUpload>
The next version of DXKeeper supports "Inbound OQRS". These two "Getting Started" articles have already been updated to reflect this capability, though it's not supported by the current public release of DXKeeper:

An updated subdivision database would not be helpful.
What would be helpful is a comprehensive, accurate list of changes to be made.

How can I'm Disable in the Capture display QSL request?
>>>If you're asking how to stop the Capture
window's "QSL Requested" box from being automatically

I can't find any way to stop displaying the PSK columns & rows in
Realtime Awards Tracking, DXView, and DXCC Progress reports. In the
DXKeeper configuration, Awards tab, DXCC Bands & Modes panel, I have
unchecked the PSK box, but the unwanted columns & rows are still
displayed. I do pursue Digital awards, but have no need to see PSK
information separately, so it would be nice to not see that
information displayed. Is there any way to stop displaying PSK info?
>>>There's not. Joe W4TV has accurately described the rationale for

is to extend this mechanism to allow the user to specify a digital
mode of his or her choosing (e.g. RTTY or JT65 or JT9) and have
independent DXCC award progress for that digital mode. This extension is not imminent.

From what I could see the complete list is here < http://rdaward.org/rda_eng.txt >, last updated on 01/02/2016, if I'm seeing this correct, on the first lines, the AB-xx are replace with ZK-xx, so if one has one QSO with AB-01 with should count as ZK-37, and AB-xx should be deleted from the list.
The RDA are very confusing with many changes.
>>>Exactly. Even with automation, changes of this magnitude are demotivating to those pursuing RDA awards. === Every time we look at RDA there is a new one or deleted, or group, like you said very demotivating for someone to chase this award, and also to the logging application try to maintain an accurate database.

From your description, it sounds like the pathname specified in the "Sub-band Definition" panel near the bottom of the Configuration window's General tab does not reference a file that describes each sub-band and the mode typically used within that sub-band.
There should be a file named BandModes.txt in your SpotCollector folder. The "Sub-band Definition" panel should reference this file.
If the above doesn't get you going, then please attach the errorlog.txt file from your SpotCollector folder to an email message, and send it to me via

Capture is already too large - particularly with the "contest mode" entry data on the tenth line and four lines of "User Defined" fields. Capture already consumes as much vertical space as DXKeeper's main window when none of the optional panels are displayed. Only if you fully expand the Capture window in its vertical dimension.
