Re: issue with log
Yep, I know.? I'm a systems analyst.? I just need to smarten up and do backups more often.? The plan is to replace the computer when we get moved into our new house but for now it's the best I can do.? I'll start doing a backup everyday just in case.? 73, Don VA7ZT On Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 6:18?PM Dave AA6YQ via <aa6yq=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: issue with log
Thanks Dave, I'll look into it.? I keep the log file on a Raid 5 NAS drive because I know the little computer at my rig is an old piece of garbage.? It's done spontaneous reboots once in a while since I got it several years ago.? All I do with it is DXLab and WSJTX.? No other software is installed on it and other than spot collector, doesn't use the internet for anything. Normally if it reboots and holds the lock file open I just make a copy of the log in a different directory and it will open fine.? This is the first time that I had this issue with it.? I'll do a full recompute on it as well as run some reports to see if my #'s on things like DXCC are right.? And tonight I'll run a disc check to see if the HD is packing it in. 73, Don VA7ZT On Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 5:00?PM Dave AA6YQ via <aa6yq=[email protected]> wrote:

I recommend that you immediately back up the file! Then *Export* the contents to a "Standard ADIF" file so that you can import them into a new log if necessary. Finally, go to Config -> Log and "Compact" the file so that the database structure is cleaned/renewed. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2025-02-13 7:04 PM, Don Carlgren via groups.io wrote:

Re: issue with log
Hi Dave, While I awaited a response I tried several more times opening it always with the same error message.? Then I changed the filename and tried several times again and it came right up after about the 4th try.? Go figure.? All QSO's are there as of this morning.? Very odd. So I'll be doing backups a little more often as my last one was back in mid Dec and I only upload to LOTW once a month so I was looking at a lot of manual entry. Thanks so much for the usual quick response. 73, Don VA7ZT On Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 3:43?PM Dave AA6YQ via <aa6yq=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Commander UDP RadioInfo Message Format
This message thread seems along the same line as what I need from DXKeeper.
?
I am working on a new contesting project that needs to interactively get logging activity during a contest. This is easy with N1MM, HRD, and N3FJP because they all broadcast an UDP packet when the user makes a log entry. I would like to do the same with DXKeeper and listen for log entries, but I cannot find in the documentation how to do this. Can someone please tell me the best way to do this with DXKeeper? Does it broadcast on log event?

issue with log
Hi Dave, My radio computer crashed today.? When I relaunched everything I'm not able to get my log to open.? I keep getting a message that VA7ZT.mdb is an unrecognized format.

Re: Using Dxlab to submit more DXCC entities to total

Hi Dave....I used the link you provided and checked the process for verifying the original submission I made 4 years ago.

1) It sounds like you did not use DXKeeper to prepare the original submission. Is that correct? 2) How many QSOs are in your log? 3) Were all of the countries/QSOs submitted based on LotW confirmations? 4) Are any of your QSOs marked "LotW_RCVD = 'S'"? 73, ...

Can't Enable DX Atlas ?
When I attempt to enable DX Atlas in the DXView-Config-World Map panel, the enable button is grayed out. I am running Win11 on 64 bit pc and v2.4 of DX Atlas.
I saw some older posts in the archives about a work around, but couldn't figure out the fix. Can someone who has solved this issue help?

Cannot get Commander to Connect to SDR
Dave, we are again configuring our remote station that is using Starlink.? We have smartlink up and running and we are slowing trying to integrate DX Labs back into our home computer.? We are starting with Commander and we have an issue that I will try to explain.? I have configured the General Tab within Commander Configuration with the IP Address of my home computer, and listed the IP Port as 4992.? The Radio setting is SDR-6500 and the Command interval at 200ms with Span Dwell of 10.? I did type in the serial number of the remote 6500 but understand that is not needed.??
When I hit "Reset", the VFO B comes up with a frequency of 14257.20 and the VFO A reads the remote radio.? The problem is it does not appear to be "synced" with the SDR software as when I change the frequency on the radio from my SDR software on the home computer, it does not move the frequency in VFOA.? If I hit reset, it does change the frequency.? It is if it is not updating.? I know this is not right but I have exhausted what other changes I need to make.??
We are slowly working to get DX Labs work so when we work a station, it will automatically log into Keeper.---but got to get past this hurdle first.
Any ideas?
