Is it possible for a user to edit the drop down box list of? the active satellites. I realize you can type a non listed name in the box. The new SO-124 satellite has been added to the ARRL list for LOTW credit. Will a new version of DXKeeper add it to the list in the "Propagation/Satellite/Name" dropdown? Thanks <<John N4QWF

DXKeeper: New County Lookup
Hello Dave:
? As always, thank you for a great series of software.
?
QRZ.com and the US Postal Service list a particular Louisiana Parish exactly as Saint Tammany.? In contrast, countyhunter.com, HamCall.net, and DXKeeper Capture use the spelling of "St. Tammany".? That works out well for my county chasing. ?Numerous county spelling differences occur nationally.? QRZ.com XML is used by me.
My question: what magic does DXKeeper do to actually make this spelling adjustment from QRZ.COM to DXKeeper Capture when logging a contact?? Or something else is in the mix.? Any comments will be appreciated!
?
Many thanks and 73,
Neil W3ZQI

Re: CAT connection between Yaesu FT1000MP+MicroHam_MK+DXLab+SPE_RFPA 1.5k
You *can* make up a "Y" cable to connect the SPE to the FT1000MP
in parallel with the computer *as documented in the SPE Manual*.
Note however, that such a connection is not necessarily reliable
with the ancient binary CAT protocol used by the 30 year old
Yaesu rigs.

I think I have already all the CATs in use:

MK_Cat2 goes to the Logger32
Commander Port1_Cat goes to MK_CAT1
Commander Port2_Cat goes to ColibriNanoRX-sdr
untill here all is ok.
*Now I need a 3rd CAT to enter the SPE PA* *and possibly a 4th CAT for WSJT*
I have tried also the VSPE SPLITTER but it does not work.
To try your suggestion I have to change the interface from MK to MKII (it will take some time to find one)
hopefully it will "fork" the CAT stream from RS232 to CI_V and finally enter in the SPE_PA.
It should be tried an USB-RS232 converter maybe it would drive the SPE_PA.
I am waiting for a response from the SPE support too
Will let you to know asap.

Re: Needed DXCC Entities?
How would you get a list of needed entities by filtering the log?
By definition, needed entities would not be present in the log.

entities will be whose never worked or worked but not confirmed.

Re: DXCC QSL Card Submission

When you have a DXCC entity worked on a single band, CW, SSB, Digital and two of the three are verified and one is confirmed.
Shouldn't the program ask you to submit the card for the last mode?
