Re: DXView Starts Maximized
OK, I can't explain it then. I just checked to be sure there wasn't
some malfunction in DXView since I always have that and its built in
world map open but there wasn't. If it's minimized when I terminate
it, it's minimized when I start it.
I suspect Dave will ask you to send him an error log so he can see
what's going on.

Re: /P /QRP setup and other Question
I assumed that to be the case with eQSL. So I attached the /QRP account to my other “primary” account nicknaming it “/QRP.” But now I cannot log into the QRP acct to pull images (if any) from that acct. It is stating I do not have a username and pass for that account? Is it not the same as the primary account? I also am unable to upload QSO’s made from DXKeeper. What am I screwing up?
When on eQSL I can log into the account and view it – although nothing is there right now either in or outbound.
My primary account works fine on the other main computer. This is strictly QRP setup on a laptop.
… I’m just sayin’

Not sure about LoTW but for eQSL you need separate accounts for each modified call. Otherwise users will send eQSL's to the call you signed on the air I.E.: K3JAE/QRP and if no such account exists you will never see the card. However, I noticed that not all users log /QRP even though it was signed it that way on the air. So, to make sure I got the card I uploaded my /QRP contacts to both logs.

Re: Decoded CW no longer being passed from K3s to WinWarbler
It's not as simple as reading manuals. There are problems galore that no manuals address because they're very specific to one and only configuration on a custom-built PC; I've run into about 5 or 6 that I can't get past, or else design limitations of Skimmer and LP-PAN that fail to do what I needed from the beginning.
Basically I cheaped out and got an expensive toy when I needed a solid SDR radio to do a very specific set of tasks reliably well. And I kept doubling down on my mistakes so now I have about $600 invested in software and hardware, 5 weeks of my life gone and nothing appreciably better to show for it. Yes,I can now see about 20 kHz of spectrum (as opposed to just 3 with Skimmer alone), but false calls in the bandmap, the inability to use the VFO-B for the pileup, flaky software, abandonware software, a sound card that I didn't need to buy, birdies in Skimmer from the LP,no decode/bad decode, and the list goes on.
So yes, I got my original problem (no CW decode in WW) is now fixed, and I'm glad it's working. If that was the only problem then I'd be happy. It was the most minor of inconveniences. It's trying to get 4 pieces of hardware and 5 pieces of ham-created software to not just play 100% reliably but to make DXing and contesting more productive. That was not the case, and I'd absolutely urge anybody else trying to monitor the pileup for 599s to consider a real quality SDR, because as I discovered, what I have now won't cut it reliably.
I'm frankly surprised nobody's build a bolt-on box for the K line to do everything I'm trying to accomplish with one piece of hardware. I'd buy that in a flash.

Tracking most recent eQSL dates in DXK with multiple profiles
Dave –
?
Currently DXKeeper appears to track, as a database field, the date of the most recent EQSL and LOTW download, so that requests for new QSL downloads only need to go back to the most recently downloaded confirmation.
?
For normal “always at home” operation, with no use of portable callsigns, and no changes in callsign, this works fine.

Re: PRINTER RECOMMENDATIONS
I don't notice any difference between Global and when I did it all myself. Actually I upload to Global more often because I don't have to wait for a big batch and I don't have to find the time to do all the sorting etc to send to ARRL. So maybe the Global way is faster. The receiving DX has no way of knowing how he got the card. It just comes through his buro like before.

You can't blame Global if someone decides to stop answering buro cards
or if your buro takes forever to get to you. At 13 cents a card I can't
get too upset if they don't respond

Buck, had thought about doing that too, But, I see more and more
notices about this guy and that guy, no longer responding to Buro cards,
and wonder just how much waste of money and time it is to try that way.
Any idea as to the percentages of outgoing for which you eventually get
a response?

I would heartily recommend GlobalQSL.com for bureau cards. They print
your full-color custom-designed card, including the QSO information and
ship it to the foreign bureau for about 13 cents a card. DxLab will
generate the ADIF file you send to them. You can upload hundreds of
QSLs within a few minutes. No fuss, no muss, no printing, no ink, no
labels, no postage, no sorting and you don't have to be an ARRL member.
