Running DXKeeper and JTAlet on 2nd Computer
On my Win 11 Computer I have running: DXKeeper SpotCollector DXView PropView WSJT-X? JTAlert
They all talk to each other fine. If I enter a call in WSJT-X DX Call Box, DXKeeper instantly performs a lookup of prior contacts with that station?and lists them.?
On my Win 10 Computer I? have : DXKeeper (only when Win11 copy is Closed!) JTAlert WSJT-X
If, as I should, I close DXK on Win11, and bring up DXK on the WIN10, all the contacts are there. JTAlert displays the decoded wsjt-x contacts?just fine.?
However, when I type a callsign in the DX Callbox in WSJT-X, DXKeeper does not perform a lookup of all the previous contacts.?
I'm stumped? What?do I need to do when running?the Networked copy of DXK (on Win10 machine), to act like the Win 11 does and perform?a lookup of all prior contacts.
It should be mentioned that the Win10 copy of DXK and WSJT-X is NOT configured for transmit. I don't even have a transmitter on the Win10 machine, just an SDR. JTAlert seems to be happy with this setup but the missing piece is WSJT-X won't force a Lookup of prior qsos with a call in DXKeeper.
Ideas?

Not control-click ... simply click "Need" assuming you have enabled

Re: Spotcollector behavior
Thanks for the explanation, Dave I did crosscheck against the DX Spotting network on QRZ and it did not appear to be affected. Probably isolated to certain Networks and I just happen to have one or more of them as a Source for Spotcollector.

DXKeeper can access 3 online callbooks - QRZ, HamCall Online (Buckmaster), and HamQTH - and provides free callbook access to QRZ via Pathfinder
When using? "QRZ.com via Pathfinder", which requires only a free QRZ account, lookups are rate-limited to one every 4 seconds. For DXers, this limit is only relevant when importing an ADIF or tab-delimited file with the "Import QSOs" tab's "Query callbook…" option enabled. The fact that Pathfinder downloads and displays QRZ's advertising does make lookups slower than using QRZ's "XML Data" service, which requires a paid subscription. ? You can specify a secondary callbook to use when the primary callbook is inaccessible or doesn't have an entry for the requested callsign. ? See
https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Configuration.htm#Callbook%20Tab ? Step-by-step instructions are here:

Re: QRZ Wow wow wow INFLATION
Works fine but you miss a lot of worthy things on your QRZ page function and get a very limited number of lookups and they are slower. If you have a moderate size or larger log or want to log a lot of calls or a contest or other operation such as a pile of FT8 QSOes then the cheapest but unlimited XML is the way you have to go. ? I think to get full usage of DXLabs and likely other logging software (YOU MEAN SUCH A THING EXISTS !!) you really need the XML functions. ? You can get the XML Lookup service alone for $35.95 but the next level at $45.95 is worth the extra 10. ? Outlook LT Gil W0MN Hierro Candente Batir de Repente 44.08226 N 92.51265 W EN34rb ? ?
