DXView 1.2.5 is available
Dave, AA6YQ
The primary purpose of this release is to correct the defect in Hygain DCU
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
rotator support reported by Julio below. I learned from Ed at DataMatrix (the developers of ProLog) that the "set bearing" and "move rotator" commands must be separated by at least 150ms, which explains why clicking the SP button once fails, but clicking it twice succeeds. Without a Hygain rotator, my testing is limited, so Julio please let me know whether this eliminates the problem. If anyone else is using a Hygain rotator -- with either the Rotor EZ or standard Hygain controller -- I'd also appreciate a works/fails report. While I was in the code, I added direct latitude/longitude entry, and added the mechanism required for interoperation with PropView. This release is available by downloading - store it in your DXView folder and execute it. You can then run the extracted DXView125.exe . 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----

When I have the main DXView window up and I set a rotor heading either by adding a callsign or clicking on a country it requires 2 clicks of the mouse on the SP or LP button to start the rotor in motion. I've even tried the clicks as long as 10 seconds apart and it will still activate the rotor action. One click will not start the rotor! I'm not sure if this is how you wanted it to work, but I suspect not. Thanks again, 73's Julio |

Pathfinder Users: updated searches for the FR and LZ callbooks
Dave, AA6YQ
Our man Kurt, OE1002419, noticed that both the FR and LZ callbook URLs had
changed, tracked down the new URLs, and sent them my way. So we have him to thank for the updated Pathfinder searches now available. Keep in mind that the F callbook includes FR addresses, and so provides a second source of Reunion QSL info. To update your search library, click Pathfinder's "Info" button, or link to . The Pathfinder Web Client ( ) has been updated with the above changes; the only action required of its users is to click their Browser's "refresh" button. As always, reports of new online QSL sources or changes to existing sources are greatly appreciated. 73, Dave, AA6YQ Pathfinder is a free program that makes it easy to find QSL information from more than 100 web-accessible sources. See for additional information and download instructions. Or use the Pathfinder Web Client -- its a little less flexible, but requires no downloading or installation and runs in any Javascript-supporting browser on Windows, MacOS, Linux, or Unix; just visit . |

Yes, if there's a country code present in the imported QSO, DXKeeper

respects it. The procedure you suggest will result in each imported callsign being checked by DXView to determine a country code. Does this explain the large variance in confirmed countries you mentioned earlier? 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote:

was open when I did the recompute. I just did that again to make sure, it didn't help. However, I just noticed something else. When I click on 3G0Y in DXKeeper, the correct prefix, CE0Y shows up in DXView but the QSO window in DXKeepr shows CE which isn't right. When I do a lookup in the new capture window it correctly shows CE0Y. Does that tell you anything? Ah!!! That gave me a clue. What if Logger exported the wrong prefix. I just checked that and that's what happened. So, what that says is that recompute looks first in the log to see if there is a prefix present and only checks DXView if there is not one there. Is that the way you want it to work? If so, I can probably fix it by removing all the prefixes from the import ADIF file, removing the current DXKeeper log and doing the import again. That should force everything to be looked up in DXView - Right? ------- 73, Rich - W3ZJ -----Original Message----- |

Re: Progress window
Dave Bernstein
Without seeing your log, I can't know for sure, but my suspicion is
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
that many of your DXKeeper log entries are missing DXCC country codess -- likely because DXView was not running when these entries were created or imported. At the moment, DXKeeper relies on DXView to determine the DXCC entity associated with a callsign. I'll be adding this capability to DXKeeper before releasing it to beta test. If my diagnosis is correct, you can update your log entries by starting DXView and then recomputing progress. Let me know how it goes... 73, Dave --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote:

Progress window
Dave,
When I click on a callsign in DXKeeper, obviously I have worked the guy, but the progress window does not always indicate any contact with his country. Also, I have worked 3G0Y 8 times on 80,30,20,10 meter CW, and 10, 15 meter SSB. The progress window shows only an F in CW and 40 meters. DXView shows that the prefix is CE0E. So I entered that in the filter window and clicked DXCC it came up with another station on Easter Island that I had worked on 40 CW but nothing for 3G0Y. I did a recompile in the progress window but nothing changed. Also, when I do a DXCC Summary, it shows 97 countries worked and 96 confirmed. Logger, which has a duplicate of the same log shows 252 countries worked and 52 confirmed which is correct. There are just short of 5000 entries in my log dating back to November 1999. Most of the entries in DXKeeper were imported from Logger. ----- 73, Rich - W3ZJ www.w3zj.com |

CI-V Commander version 2.5.2 is available
Dave Bernstein
I've added additional error trapping to this version -- hopefully the

runtime error 6 crash W3ZJ's been experiencing will be replaced by an entry in the error log that helps me track down the root cause. Its quite possible that this error trapping will enable the program to recover gracefully, so keep an eye out for an errorlog.txt file in your CI-V Commander folder. CI-V Commander version 2.5.2 is available by downloading and saving it into your CI-V Commander folder. You can then directly execute it. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote:

Re: DXKeeper new capture window.

Rich found the documentation on their web site. Given that its a DDE
interface, I'll need a copy of their software for testing. It'd be best to get the software directly from the supplier -- as a customer, perhaps you could ask them on my behalf. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Ron Eberson" <zx@c...> wrote: it's use the paralel port as the printer.control?

From what I can gather it is not an RS232 interface but works with some plug in boards and drivers that you can access through DDE or Windows messaging. It looks like they would be happy to answer questions or help with the interface if you want to get involved with that. My guess is that the more software that supports them the happier they are. ----- 73, Rich - W3ZJ www.w3zj.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: dxlab-unsubscribe@...

Your test got through, and welcome to the group. The reflector is just getting started so we are a very small group right now, you are a charter member. As such, you probably won't be getting a large number of postings just yet. We hope and think it will grow. Thanks for joining. ------- 73, Rich - W3ZJ (list moderator) -----Original Message----- |
