Is confirmed (Y) or verified (V - credit granted by ARRL) by card.

So, another guess.? Is confirmed cards cards that I've received and
verified cards cards I had a card checker check and the ARRL granted
credit for the checked cards?

+ A 'Y' in the Cards column denotes "confirmed via QSL card"

+ A 'V' in the Cards column denotes "DXCC award credit granted to a QSL card confirmation. A card checker checking a card is QSL card often - but not always - the first step towards received DXCC award credit for that card. For example, when I'm applying for DXCC award credits, I send QSL cards to the ARRL DXCC Desk via registered mail.

In the summary sections "Card" indicates the number of countries
confirmed/verified by card and "LotW" indicates the number of
countries confirmed/verified by LotW credits.

The summary sections?? Please explain.

+ Joe is referring the two 3-line sections at the end of the DXCC Progress report: one labeled "Includes deleted entities",? and the other labeled "Non-deleted entities only"; both sections include Card and LoTW columns.

I guess I blew it.? I just received a new computer and am trying to get DXLabs working on it.

?

Honestly, nearly everything was working immediately, just a couple of nits to work out.

?

First, in Commander, when I try to load a file to any of the "command" buttons, I get the following:

?

2025-04-17 17:55:52.618 > program error 52 in module UserCommandSequenceDefinition.LoadCmd_Click: Bad file name or number

I suspect I named a folder incorrectly or something, but I'm not sure.? Help, anyone?

?

+ So that I can see what's going on, please do the following:

1. on the Configuration window's General tab, check the "Log debugging info" box

2. terminate Commander

?

3. start Commander, and wait for it to fully initialize

?

5. attempt to load a User-defined Command Sequence from a file

6. on the Configuration window's General tab, check the "Log debugging info" box

7. attach the errorlog.txt file from your Commander folder to an email message, and send the message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersoft.com

Dave's DXKeeper manual (Logging New QSOs with the Capture window) says:

If the first letter of the callsign you enter is an exclamation point, DXKeeper assumes that you are logging a CQ, an unsuccessful call, a test, or some other transmission that you wish to record but does not represent a QSO. Such log entries are not assigned a DXCC prefix, do not initiate a Callbook database lookup, and are not included in award tracking statistics.

+ Exactly right. Click the Capture window's Begin button when you start calling CQ; when you stop calling CQ, click the Capture window's End button and log the CQ. When calling a station, initially place a ! in front of the callsign of the station you're calling (in the Capture window's Callsign box), and click the Begin button. If the station responds, remove the !. If not, log the unsuccessful call.?

I am interested in having a log of when I make any transmission as a way to track down interference complaints.? Is this something that can be done with the DX Labs SW?? If not, does anyone have any suggestion?

I always upload via DXKeeper. I have been using DXLAbs for more than 10 years, this is the only time this issue has occurred.

+ If it happens again, please let me know.

I attempted a LOTW upload today, it aborted due to a duplicate.?

?

Investigation reveals 26 qsos that were uploaded to LOTW, but DXKeeper says Not uploaded.?

?

I have them identified.??

?

I confirmed that are in LOTW.?

+ Did you submit them to LoTW from an application other than DXKeeper?

Hello Dave......After writing to the group I turned the computer off and took a break. When I turned the computer back on I went to the Launcher folder and clicked on the Launcher exec. it loaded the Launcher again and the Relocation backup was in the Workspaces. I checked to see if the files I moved were present in the Relocation backup, they were. I clicked Load the Workspace and Windows gave me hell for changing the registry settings, but finally let me load the Workspaces.? I then loaded the files into the locations in the New PC.?

?

I have not yet connected the new PC to the radio. I have not clicked? restore buttons in the Launcher yet.

+ There is no reason to click the Launcher's "Restore" buttons; you've already directed the Launcher to install your DXLab applications.

The Launcher buttons are all red and the Pathways shown in the configuration window of the Launcher show the proper pathways

+ "Red" means "installed but not running", as expected.

Dave-

?

a) should I connect the radio to the PC at this point before I hit the restore button?

?

I have prevented the USB ports from powering down.

?

All the Path names are the same for the installation and its on a single monitor.

?

I think I am at item 12 once the above is accomplished. not sure what I need to do in item 12 but will endeavor to figure that out once I get that far.

?

I am not sure what caused the Launcher issue but I appears to have rectified itself once I clicked on the Launcher Exec. I was also able to get the Launcher pinned to the Task bar so that is good to go now.

I think I am on the right track.....Thank you I am sure that this is not the last time you all will hear from me.....Thank God for this group and your infinite patience.

Thanks Joe and Walt for the tips!

?

The taskbar tip of Walt, which I tried first, didn't help, but Joe's Reset via Launcher tip did it. DXView's main window is back!

?

Thanks again!

Thanks, Dave.For some reason, ?I had Display calls on panadaptor unchecked.

It was working once before. I must be missing a setting.

+ As a first step, please review step 1 in



+ If that doesn't result in active callsigns appearing on the SmartSDR spectrum display, please let me know.
