Re: Missing Distances/Grids after carefully following distance computation procedure.
+ AA6YQ comments below?
+ Some of your logged QSOs were missing grid squares because when you imported them, you had the "Ignore geocoded grid squares..." option enabled in the QRZ panel on the Configuration window's Callbook tab. ?
+ To fill in the missing grid squares after disabling that option, you could have done the following on the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab:
1. Filter the Log Page Display with the SQL expression len(GRIDSQUARE)=0 2. Depress the CTRL key while clicking the CBA button + Unless error messages of the form "Component X is missing" or "Library Y can't be found" are displayed, one should never attempt to solve a problem by uninstalling and then re-installing a DXLab application. It's the automotive equivalent of pulling the engine on your car because the gas tank is empty: it can't possible solve the problem, but can create new problems that are far worse than the actual problem. ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Dave, AA6YQ ?

Re: Missing Distances/Grids after carefully following distance computation procedure.
Dave and all,
?
Last update.? ?
?
I did uncheck the "Ignore geocoded gridsquare" box after deleting all previously imported contacts with the missing grids.
?
Upon a much more lengthy import, essentially ALL grid squares are present enabling me to map all of them, which, I will post examples of a bit later.
?
Dave, thank you for your tools, your support and your patience.? Awesome tools....which I will post more about analyzing our 2024 field day event later.

Re: Missing Distances/Grids after carefully following distance computation procedure.
Dave,
?
OK, that process did not work BUT, I re-red the instructions and INSTEAD of pressing the DELETE key on my keyboard Pressed CNTRL and then clicked Delete on the LogQSO's pane and boom.....all QSO's are gone
apology for making a mess on the reflector.?

Re: Missing Distances/Grids after carefully following distance computation procedure.
OK,
?
Wait,?
?
I did the following.
?
1.? Uninstalled DXKeeper.
2.? Deleted KM2B.mdb
3.? Reinstalled DXKeeper from DXLauncher.
?
Restarted DXKeeper.? Log is empty.
?
So, all good.? ?Although, if you want to post a delete process I will place it in my DXLab folder for the future.
?
As always, thank you for your patience, knowledge and help.

Re: Missing Distances/Grids after carefully following distance computation procedure.
Dave,
?
Many thanks for the detailed information
?
"Ignore geocoded gridsquare ..." box was indeed marked checked and I have now unchecked it and then spent some time trying to properly delete the entire existing log.? ?This is on a different computer from my own log with DXKeeper and just for our club's field day.??
?
I did just spend some time trying to properly delete all entries in DXKeeper so I can re-import and see if more grid squares are populated.??
?
However, try as I might (meaning I did look at your instructions) I could not delete the existing log.??
?
How I tried to do:? ?First, with two different methods, I filtered the log page display to contain the dates of our Field Day (and hence capture all of the log).? ?
?
I then, for each method of filtering, I clicked the top of DXKeeper windo to insure that was the live window then pressed CNTRL + DELETE (first pressing CNTRL and then, while continuing to press, pressing DELETE KEY.? This was the procedure I found after searching DXLab site information for delete.??
?
However, no delete occurred?? ?Please let me know the proper procedure for delete.? ?My apology for asking for something that is probably totally obvious but I cannot seem to do it today.
?
Thank you in advance.??

Re: Band Edge Warnings: Commander

+ For operators who are not visually-impaired, why would an audible band edge warning be needed when a visual indication is provided in Commander's Main and Bandspread windows? Thanks. It's not that important but if the feature were there, I would use it. Sometimes I'm not looking at the Commander window but looking at the radio to perform some adjustment or function. The radio I picked up used had the radio modified for out of normal band operation (e.g. MARS mod, etc) and no longer has the audible out-of-band beep as a result. So, I was just looking to replace it with a possible DXLab audible alert. No big deal.
