Re: Upgrade Request for DXKeeper
From: dxlab@... [mailto:dxlab@...]AA6YQ comments below Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2016 9:26 AM To: dxlab@... Subject: [dxlab] Upgrade Request for DXKeeper I think it would be a great benefit if en the capture is open and you type in a callsign and hit tab that it spells out the call sign in phonetics. It sounds so professional when you can quickly respond to the other ham with the proper phonetics each and every time. Someone is doing this now with a small logger to NPOTA and I would love to have it added to DXlabs. Example: N8NQN [tab] below last line (under user defined) make a new line that is length of window Most users do not have the Capture window configured at ¡°full height¡±; having the phonetics only be visible when that¡¯s the case would likely reduce usage. The better option would be to display the phonetics in a small window that would only appear if the ¡°phonetics option¡± were enabled. 73,Phonetics are not just used to convey callsigns in difficult conditions; they're used to convey any relevant information - a city name, a street address,, the names of injured people, etc. Arguably then a ham should be capable of employing phonetics to convey arbitrary words, in which case automation for callsigns is unnecessary.

Re: DXCC Verification Discrepancy resolution how-to?

Re: DXCC Verification Discrepancy resolution how-to?
Hi Dave. Thanks for the quick reply. I am in good shape now. Most of the ¡°V¡±erified were from my first DXCC card submission. I went through that submission way back when and manually marked them ¡°V¡±erified in logger. These particular credits are for entity only.

I¡¯m not sure when that option, and the others were introduced, but I¡¯ve been sidelined for several years and just now getting things going again.
As far as the others, like the EK example, the DXCC didn¡¯t have it marked as a credit for me for that band/mode. I must have at some point jumped the gun and marked it and a few others like it ¡°V¡±erified by mistake. Everything checks out now. Your software is a real joy to use, thanks for that. 73, Ken WB1DX Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: 'Dave AA6YQ' aa6yq@... [dxlab] Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2016 11:42 PM To: dxlab@...

Subject: [dxlab] DXCC Verification Discrepancy resolution how-to? I¡¯m having some difficulty making sense of the DXCC Verification Discrepancies report and how to resolve what shows up on the report. There are two specific cases I¡¯m dealing with. One example is the report contains a record for say entity=TK, mode=CW, Log Status=V, ARRL Status=null. On the ARRL LOTW website, my account has an entry for TK5EP, 15M, CW. This matches exactly a logbook entry which also has LoTW Receive Status=V. This credit is missing from the list of downloaded credits, which has been updated. I don¡¯t understand the discrepancy and how best to resolve it? There other example which I believe I have an explanation is from QSL cards that were submitted many years ago, long before LoTW. The LoTW credits do not contain band or mode, just entity.Log into your LoTW web account and view your DXCC Award Credit Matrix. (I can't cite a URL in "Using LoTW" that explains how to do this because LoTW is down for scheduled maintenance at this moment). Does it show that DXCC credit has been granted for TK in CW? The discrepancy report for these same DXCC entities call out band and/or mode discrepancies. I believe this to be caused by the LoTW credit missing both band and mode with the QSL status=V in the log. The question again is how best to resolve this discrepancy?That¡¯s not correct. DXCC credits created by submitting an LoTW confirmation always specify the entity, band, and mode. How/why was the QSL status set to 'V' in the logged QSO? LoTW confirmations are not DXCC Credits; an LoTW Confirmation must be included in a DXCC application to generate a DXCC Credit. I¡¯ve tried both Autolink and Repair for LoTW.DXCC Credits generated from QSL cards can contain errors in their callsign, date, band, and mode fields. Such credits must be manually linked. <>Neither will link a credit to a QSO unless the credit exactly matches the QSO. ¡°Imperfect¡± credits must be manually linked to their QSOs, as is described in Perhaps I should reset the LoTW QSL status and resend the QSO¡¯s to be processed again? For the paper QSL¡¯s, do I need to resend the cards for band/mode credit?That will produce a result no different than what you now see. 73,If the expected credit does not appear in your DXCC Award Credit Matrix, yes ¨C though you should first contact the DXCC desk and see if they can determine how a DXCC credit previously granted has disappeared.

OK.? I'm just reporting that there is difference, at least on my PC, between older and newer versions.? I have operated this way with 3 different PCs over the years without a problem.? I'm not complaining since I have an easy solution.
It's nice to only take a couple of seconds to turn back on, instead of having to reboot and reload all my SW, which can several minutes.? Of course I could get a SSD to take care of the reboot time, but no need with my simple solution :) Jim |

Re: Commander Randomly Not Synching With Rig
This is not a Commander issue. It is known problem with many USB
serial drivers ... they do not "wake up" properly once the USB port has been powered down. You will need to adjust the Windows Power Options (Control Panel | Power Options) to disable USB Selective Suspend. I guess most people leave their PCs on continuously after booting upIt is generally best to avoid sleep/hibernate. Simply power down when not using the computer (away) and reboot when returning. If done properly (disable hybrid sleep), all hardware drivers are reloaded and reinitialized on each boot ... this also avoids many Windows "resources" issues by cleaning up memory/resource leaks. 73, ...
