Even though I remain on a frequency for the defined dwell time,? ?if I change bands and return a bit later, the VFO will go to a different frequency.? For example, I can be on 10123 for a while.? Switch to 40m.? ?Come back to 30 and it will go to 10123.? ? ? The next time, I go to 20 meters and return to 30m, it will go to 10120 even though I have not been on that frequency.??

sync to LOTW seems to be an all or nothing model.

?

i had a list qso's and the from "add requested",? then did UPLOAD to LoTW.? ?The entire signed block of QSO's fails because ONE of them is already in LOTW.??

?

is it possible to "sync requested to lotw, report on failed Q's but accept the balance of the others? on the list that did NOT fail " ???

?

+ If you upload your QSOs to LoTW from DXKeeper, it will never be the case that "Add Requested will populate the QSL Queue with a QSO that has already been submitted to LoTW.

+ If you upload a QSO to LoTW using some other application, and don't change that logged QSO's "LoTW QSL Sent" item in DXKeeper to to 'U', then?
Add Requested" will add that QSO to the QSL Queue, and when you invoke "Upload to LoTW", TQSL will reject the entire batch of QSOs in the QSL Queue because of the presence of that one QSO that was already submitted. We modified TQSL to work this way in 2013 because many ops (not DXLab users) were resubmitting all of their logged QSOs each time they made a few new QSOs. So we equipped TQSL with a database to keep track of each QSO that its user has submitted to LoTW, enabling it to reject any batch that contains an already-submitted QSO.

+ To correctly avoid this situation, either use DXKeeper exclusively to upload your QSOs to LoTW, or if you use another application to upload some QSOs to LoTW, update those QSOs in DXKeeper to reflect the fact that they've already been submitted to LoTW.

Just curious why a QSO logged (other for the same station logged) is in all red text!

+ In which panel of which window of which application?

I have enabled Google Earth on the DX View Worl Map configuration screen.? When I hit the Sync button it works well for the rest of my operating session!? Neat Tool.....Thanks Dave.

?

I shut down at the end of my radio session using the Dx Lab Launcher.? It closes all of the DX Lab components but leaves Google Earth and Multipsk still running.? I then close them manually.

?

The next day when I start DX Labs with the launcher, all programs start back up including Google Earth.

?

But Google Earth doesn't do anything until I open the Config on DX View and hit the Sync button again.? Then it works for the rest of the operating session.

?

Am I missing a check box to automatically reconnect or sync?

Great that TAL is doing that but how many can it handle and for how long? Surely TQSL does not have a database of everything you ever uploaded??

+ That's exactly what TQSL does. We implemented this in 2013; it cut the number of QSOs submitted to LoTW? in half.

Actually LotW now has duplicate QSO rejection - it's
somewhere around 50 duplicates (previously uploaded QSOs)
and the server dumps the upload.

+ If that's now the case, then on the Main window's QSL tab,

?

1. set the "QSL Via" panel to LoTW

?

2. clear the QSL Queue

?

3. click the "Add Requested" button; this will populate the QSO Queue with all QSOs not uploaded to LoTW

4. click the "Upload to LoTW" button

5. wait 24 hours (since there was a contest this past weekend)

6. click the "Sync LoTW QSOs" button

7. click the "Sync LoTW QSLs" button

8. in the Filter panel at the bottom of the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab, click the LoTW button; do any QSOs appear in the Log Page Display?

How many of these can? be uploaded again?

+ All of them.

If they are really duplicates will he be kicked off

+ No. It is TQSL rejecting the "already uploaded QSOs", not LoTW.?

or is it likely shutting down prevented that large number from being uploaded and he will not see many duplicates?

+ Given the unfortunately shutdown, there is no way to know which QSOs were uploaded and which were not. Re-uploading them all is the only way to ensure that all are uploaded.

In JTAlert? settings panel under Applications->DXLab Suite, I have - Post decoded Callsigns to SpotCollector as local spots,? but no spots are appearing in SC.

I am running wsjtx v 2.61 on win11 pc. JTAlert v2.80.3. In wsjtx -settings- reporting - i have udp requests checked and 127.0.0.1/ 2237 set.

?

I had this working successfully in the past but now can't determine how to get it working again. Any suggestions?

+ Laurie VK3AMA does respond to questions here, but you could also post to his JTAlert support group.

I successfully uploaded over 4,000 QSOs to LOTW last night from ARRL DX CW and before the response completed updating my log, I stupidly shut down DXKeeper.? I still have 3,809 QSOs sitting in the QSL Queue that did not complete updating the log to empty the Queue.? How do I restart the process so the Queue empties when it finishes updating the log?

+ On the Main window's QSL tab, set the "QSL Via" panel to LoTW and click the "Upload to LoTW" button. If TQSL reports that one or more of these QSO has already been uploaded to LoTW (referring to it as a "duplicate"), then on the "QSL Configuration" window's LoTW tab, check the "Permit uploading of QSOs already uploaded to LoTW" box, and then go back to the Main window's QSL tab and click the "Upload to LoTW" button again.

Tnx fer adding KA

+ The KA Oblast and its districts are located in Kaliningrad, a separate DXCC entity. You can only set a QSO's Oblast to KA if its DXCC entity is set to Kaliningrad (DXCC country code 126)
