For some reason the version of Commander I have been using for several years got corrupted so I deleted it and downloaded the current version. ?Much to my surprise, the Radio Tab does not contain an entry for a K3, only a K2. ?Am I missing something here?

As shown by the WAB entry in the large table in



and as stated in the description of the WAB Progress Report in



WAB squares should be recorded in each QSO's Region item:



You recorded WAB squares in a user-defined item.

The procedure I posted for you back in July copies copies the WAB squares you logged in each QSO's user-defined item to its Region item so that the WAB progress report will work correctly. You need only execute this procedure once:

1. review the "WAB Square" format to be sure that what your recorded in the user-defined item your created complies with that format



2. filter the Log Page Display to contain all QSOs that contain a "WAB Square" in your user-defined item; you didn't say which user-defined item you're using to record WAB squares, so I can't give you the exact SQL expression with which to filter the Log Page Display. It will look like

LEN(App_DXKeeper_User_Defined_X)>0

where X is the number of the user-defined item you used.

3. review those QSOs to make certain that all are in Britain

4. make a backup copy of your log

This is a step that is always taken before using the "Modify QSOs" panel to modify many QSOs. On the Configuration window's Log tab, click the "Backup Folder" panel's Backup button

5. use the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" window's "Modify QSOs" panel to copy the contents of your user-defined item to the
Region item APP_DXKEEPER_REGION in each QSO in the Log Page Display:

5a. set the "Item Name" selector to APP_DXKEEPER_REGION

5b. set the "Item new value" to < App_DXKeeper_User_Defined_X> where X is the number of the user-defined item you used (same as in step 2 above)

5c. click the Mod button

6. check your results in the Log Page Display to make sure you are happy with them

7. click the WAB button "Other progress reports" panel on the Main window's "Check Progress" tab.

I received your instructions to create a WAB report 22/07/2024.

With a hughe delay, i started today with this operation, after a fresh startup of the PC.

But there are questions, because i'm affrayed to mash-up things. (Not an IT'er !) I regret it.

In step 2 i filtered and noticed 1342 items containing a WAB square in Britain.

Then in step 4 i should make a backup copy of my log. Knowing that a backup is created every time i close down, is it still needed at that moment? Most recent backup created yesterday at close-down of the station.

If really necessary, how do i make the copy while all the usual screens are opened?

In step 5, if i understand well, do i have to copy every singel QSO one by one? 1342 willtake time!

Thanks for your support Dave.

+ AA6YQ comments below

there must be something i don't know, maybe by my stupidity.

I have 557 QSOs with WAB references. I have a UDI in my advance filters, captured < WAB >.

Filtering via UDI shows 557 QSOs.

This morning i tried to make a progress report WAB.

Surprise: using the <WAB> button shows only one single QSO in the report.

The button <user> togheter with the selected UDI, shows 409 different WAB references.

The button WABP works fine (10). IOTA works fine (356). DXCC works fine (263). Sota works fine (679). Etc.

What am i missing? From wich source the progress report <WAB> is generated?


+ The reference documentation for the WAB Progress Report states

"The WAB button generates a text report from QSOs in the Log Page Display showing progress towards the Worked All Britain awards based on each British, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, Guernsey, Jersey, and Isle of Man QSO's WAB square specified in its Region item."



+ A "WAB Square" is defined in note7 beneath the large table:



+ It cites the grid reference system defined on this "Worked All
+ Britain" web page




+ Thus, you should

1. review the "WAB Square" format to be sure that what your recorded
in the user-defined item your created complies with that format

2. filter the Log Page Display to contain all QSOs that contain a "WAB
Square" in that user-defined item

3. review those QSOs to make certain that all are in Britain

4. make a backup copy of your log

5. use the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" window's "Modify
QSOs" panel to copy the contents of your user-defined item to the
Region item APP_DXKEEPER_REGION in each QSO in the Log Page Display;

I haven't yet found how to use the RBN as a SC source. On the SC help page that discusses RBN in SC, the example config panel shows the host address as: telnet.reversebeacn.net
port as: 7000
a caption of: RevBeacon
username is my call: N5OP

When I try this, I get a popup informing me that: "Direct connections to telnet.reversebeacon.net are not supported; instead, connected to a DX Cluster that conveys spots from the Remote Beacon Network"

Aside from some odd typos, was there a way to do this that no longer works? Is so, can I even do this?
