DXView 1.2.9 is available
Dave, AA6YQ
This release
- supports rotators controlled by ARSWIN (see ) - logs the contents of the Prefix texbox (presumably a callsign) in DXKeeper (if running) when you depress the CTRL key while clicking the Go button, or while striking the Enter key in the Prefix textbox. The second feature requires DXKeeper 1.2.5 or later. If DXKeeper's QSO Capture window is visible, then the contents of DXKeeper's Prefix textbox overwrite the contents of the QSO Capture window's Callsign textbox. Otherwise, they overwrite the contents of the Callsign textbox in DXKeeper's main log window. If you've already installed DXView, you can upgrade by downloading - store it in your DXView folder and execute it; you can then run the extracted DXView129.exe . Your online help will be updated by this process. 73, Dave , AA6YQ |

certain that I'd corrected it -- but I thought that might be the case. I did find and correct a more egregious example -- clicking the DXCC filter button with no prefix in the filter textbox would produce a similar situation.
