Duplicates in Stations Heard
Is it normal to see between 2 and 5 entries for a single transmission in WinWarbler Stations Heard? WIthin a short time after a reset the list fills back up with dupes. By duplicate, I mean I can see a few lines with exactly the same incoming text but often different call/with combinations. Thinking about it, think I can understand two lines each. One for station1/station2 and the other for station2/station1. Kev/K4VD |

consider Commander 12.1.5 to be safe.
? I figured I'd better check the Firewall even though I don't seem to have any problems.So....for safety in case I click on the wrong thing I made a Restore point and full backup. First off I don't even have a listing for Commander 12.1.5 even though that is the version number is see in the title bar. in the Firewall Allowed programs window I found; In order name??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Home/Work????? public checked CI-V Commander??? ??? ????? ? ? X checked CI-V Commander??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? X checked CI-V commander 1139.exe??? X checked CI-V Commander 1177??? ??? ??? X unchecked Commander 1180??? ??? ??? ?? X checked CI-V Commander 1202??? ??? ??? X unchecked? DXKeeper 1306??? ??? ??? ??? ?? X unchecked?

X checked SpotSpy??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?? X --------------------------------------------------------------------------- So my question is: does this need cleaning and should I delete the listings for the older version? of DXKeeper? In the Listing for CI-V Commander, can both Private and Public be checked in the same line or is the way my listing is displayed correct? This is uncharted waters for me and I'm a bit out of my depth here. please and thank you Bill W9OL On 3/5/2016 11:18, 'Dave AA6YQ'
