Logging on DZ lab through JTAlert

 

When I finish a QSO on ft8 and log it, JTAlert sends that log file to my DXKeeper log file. ?Exactly what I want. ?Then when I send my response and send my response and power, when I hit ok a second file gets sent to my DXkeeper log file. ?I have to delete one each time a log a new contact. ?How do I stop that?

Re: Band Edge Warnings: Commander

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
Related question: Is it possible to have an audible band edge warning in addition to the visual/color change?
+ In support of visually-impaired operators, the "Transceiver Announcements" panel on the Audio tab of SpotCollector's Configuration window can be configured to announce frequency changes and mode changes.

+ For operators who are not visually-impaired, why would an audible band edge warning be needed when a visual indication is provided in Commander's Main and Bandspread windows?

1. Restore the QSO to your log so that it will "match" what LoTW reports when you invoke "Update from LoTW"; if the QSO didn't actually happen, set its "QSL Rcvd" item to 'I' so that it won't be considered for award progress.

Thank You, Dave.? I knew it had to be there, but just had not found it yet.? Lots to read and understand!? Grin.
+ As suggested here



+ slowly scan the Reference Documentation of each DXLab applications that you are using. Ignore the details, just create a list of those "functions" that you're interested in understanding and potentially using. Then pursue each of those functions one at a time, consulting the Reference Documentation for details and the "goal-oriented documentation" for step-by-step instructions; searching its index with a few key words is a good way to locate what you're seeking:



+ You can always ask for help here. No one will criticize you for asking a question that has already been asked and answered, or whose answer is obvious somewhere in the documentation.

Dave, AA6YQ is telling you the PW1 does not behave properly on a CIV connection and you need a separate CIV connection to only the PW1 from your computer to your PW1 to properly handle the bad behavior from the PW1.

?

A direct connection between transceiver and amplifier is not supported by DXLab Suite.? If you are using that connection, please seek help from Icom or one of the Icom support lists.

?

+ The PW1 fails to comply with Icom's CI-V bus specification. Like the Ethernet, the collisions can occur on the CI-V bus. However, the PW1 does not properly detect and recover from collisions.

+ With an Icom transceiver connect to a PW1 via a CI-V bus, no collisions occur.

+ With an Icom transceiver connected to a PW1 and a PC Com port managed by a transceiver control application like Commander, collisions can occur. Because it does not properly handle collisions, the PW1 can transmit on the wrong frequency, which can result in serious damage to the PW1. This is described in detail in this document developed by Larry K8UT:

/www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/Riding%20the%20CI-V%20Bus%20by%20K8UT.pdf

+ Commander's Secondary Com port enables provides a dedicated CI-V bus for the PW1 on which no collisions can occur, thus preventing damage to the amplifier. It has been successfully employed by many PW1 users.
