Sorry to be so dense here Rich… How do I determine the proper log-in? I am using the same user/pass on eQSL site and then just pick which account I want to view. So how do I log into a specific account from outside eQSL’s login portal? Specifically how do I set up DXKeeper to upload and sync to eQSL to/from the /QRP account?

… I’m just sayin’

That's the problem. It's a separate account so you must have a username and password for it. Even if the passwords are the same the logins are different.

As I think of it now it is similar for LoTW except that you don't need a separate account just a separate certificate. Of course, the uploads must be signed with the appropriate certificate so you still need to do a separate upload for each call.

See below….

1.? Where does one set up the default HomeQTH at in DXLabs? Setting up a laptop for /P and or /QRP operation and I cannot find where it is set up.

I probably was not clear enough in my initial inquiry. This is set up fine on my main machine but cannot figure out how to do this on the laptop.

?

2.? I am setting up for /P and /QRP operation and need to understand if eQSL requires a separate account for /QRP and/or /P calls…

In other words I will be running /P/QRP (both) or may run only /QRP if at home. Does eQSL/LoTW etc. all require specific accounts for that operation? Or can I just upload to my home account (if working from home QTH and working /QRP)?

>>>I’ll defer to Rich W3ZJ on eQSL.cc questions.

>>>For LoTW, each QSO must be uploaded with a “Station Location” that references a “Callsign Certificate” for that “Station Callsign” used over the air. So if you use K3JAE/P over the air, you must obtain a “Callsign Certificate” for K3JAE/P, you must define a “Station Location” that references your K3JAE/P “Callsign Certificate”, and you must upload your K3JAE/P QSOs with that “Station Location”.

++++ Good to have documentation on this. I was aware LoTW needed a certificate, after I posted this initially, but was unclear how to properly format or create a 2^nd and or more certificate. Thanks for that assist!! J

>>>When DXView starts up, it determines whether or not to start “minimized” based on a setting in the Windows Registry. Since DXView starts minimized when you don’t load settings from your Workspace, the implication is that the setting in your Workspace is not “minimized”.

I previously owned a Flexradio 6300. ?I also have a Yaeus DX-5000. ?I was able to get both of them to work with DX Lab commander---reading frequencies. ?I just upgraded to a Flex 6700 and I have worked maybe 3-4 hours including help from Dudley at Flexradio and I cannot get Commander to read the frequency of the Flex6700. ?Can anyone help me. ?Here is some additional information.

?

I am attempting to connect using TCP/IP port of Smart CAT ? The 6700 is on Port 4 and 12. ?I am running the current version of Smart SDR 1.6.21, ?I am running Windows 10 on my computer. ?The radio is direct connected to the back of the computer using an eternity cable. ?(just as i did with the 6300). ?By pinging i have confirmed that the 6700 and the computer are talking as it is recognizing the IP address of the 6700.

?

When I open up commander, I properly displays the IP port at the top and tries to connect however it times out and I get the message "Can't connect to FlexRadio SDR-6700. No response from any network".

?

When going to config within Commander---I have the Primary CAT Serial Port set to Com 4 and I have confirmed that the Flex 6700 is on Com 4. ?Baud rate 19200 Word =8 Parity =None Stop= 1 DTR= Off RTS= Off. ?Under General Tab- I have the SDR-6700 listed. ?

?

My 6700 's IP address is 169.254.9.91 ?Now when i go to Commander and General tab and his "reset"---in the commander window it first says it is trying to connect with 10.10.0.73 then moves to 169.254.23.151---it never tries to connect with the radio's IP address of 169.254.9.91. ?Can't figure out why.

?

On last item, in the General tab in Commander Config---I manually tried to put the ip address of the radio in the 'Radio Selection Box" ?with the appropriate Port 4 designated---and hit reset, then in the Commander window it tries to connect--but never does--I don't get the unable to connect message but it simply will not connect.

?

Help---there must be something obvious that I am overlooking---

The good news is DXView started minimized dong this.? The bad news is DXView came up full view when I started it via Launcher.

Pete, W1RM

?

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.

?

For LOTW, this also works fine.

?

>>>Correct, because all QSOs in the current log are uploaded to the same LoTW account.

?

But when multiple eQSL accounts are involved (different profiles, etc.), it looks like DXKeeper is tracking only the most recent most recent QSL date/time, and that periodic control-clicking of the Sync button is required to ensure that all confirmations have been logged.

?

Am I missing something?? Or, if not, would it be worthwhile to track most recent eQSL on a per-eQSL-login basis?

?

>>>I have not gained a clear enough understanding of how multiple eQSL accounts and “nicknames” work to know what’s needed, or to determine whether what’s needed is feasible. If there’s documentation describing multiple eQSL accounts and “nicknames”, please point me at it.
