Re: Color codes?
Dave Bernstein
That sounds like a defect. I occasionally see the database window

displayed as "all black, non-bold" but it quickly redisplays correctly. Evidently the screen update technique I am using is inappropriate in other configurations; I'll implement a different approach when I return. Thanks! 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote:

Re: Winwarbler
Dave Bernstein
Tom,
You must configure WinWarbler to use CI-V Commander for rig control: in WinWarbler's configuration window, click the PSK tab and select the Xcvr Ctrl SW option in the Transmitter's PTT Mode panel. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., <KB2VNB@a...> wrote: Hello,746 to transmit.

SpotCollector band filter.
Dave,
There seems to be a little glitch in the band filter functionality. I did the following: 1. Brought up the band filter, clicked "none" and then selected 20, 17, 15 and 10 meters. This worked as expected and properly filtered out all the other bands. 2. Closed and restarted SpotCollector. It now began showing me spots for all bands even though the band filter still showed that only 20, 17, 15 and 10 were selected. 3. Repeated step 1 and all was fine again. ----- 73, Rich - W3ZJ www.w3zj.com |

Color codes?
Dave,
Perhaps the help file will explain this, but I have been trying to figure out why the SpotCollector window is sometimes color coded and sometimes not. It seems to switch back and forth without any rhyme or reason that I have been able to determine. I certainly like it color coded. ----- 73, Rich - W3ZJ www.w3zj.com |

Winwarbler
Hello,
I have just started with winwarbler and am unable to key up my Icom 746 to transmit. I am able to recieve QSO's and I hear what sound like the correct tones for transmitting but I do not transmit out. I have wired TX AF to pins 1 and 7 and I have also wired the RX AF to pins 8 and 7. ( pin 7 is the ground) on the (MIC)connecter. I somehow thought that running CI-V Commander at the same time as winwarbler will perform the PTT function. Please let me know if I need to do next. Thank you KB2VNB Tom |

Re: SpotCollector 1.0.0
Dave Bernstein
If DXView is not plotting spots as they appear in the SpotCollector
database window, DXView's plot filters may be at work. Click DXView's Config button, select the "Plot Filters" tab, and click the All button in each of the Band Filter, Mode Filter, and Origin Filter panels. Every subsequent incoming spot should be plotted. If this isn't the case, please let me know what Windows variant you are running so I can attempt to replicate the problem. Using Notepad, I have a limited ability to inspect code. I don't remember implementing a "right mouse button displays plot callsign" feature in DXView, nor can I find the code that would perform this operation. Where do you see the callsign appear? 73, Dave AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., John Butcher <jbb1@m...> wrote: SpotCollector seems to be behaving a little differently for me.

Re: SpotCollector 1.0.0 is available for beta test...
Dave Bernstein
If the database folder is showing up on your Windows desktop, that's
a defect. I am on the road this week (in VK); unfortunately, the development environment on my laptop has died in a way that precludes me from even looking at code, much less modifying it. So this correction will have to wait until my return next weekend. The good news is that without the ability to code, I'll be forced to write online help... Guess I forgot to release CI-V Commander 2.5.3; sorry about that. I'll take care of that when I return as well. Keep in mind that DXView lets you control which (if any) spots get plotted on DXView's world map, as well as their lifetime. This control is independent of SpotCollector's database and the filter through which you view it. Popping up a tooltip (with callsign and frequency) when the mouse cursor lingers over a plotted DX spot on DXView's map is certainly feasible, though there's the minor problem that more than one callsign may be involved. I'll add it to the list... 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote: Dave,creates a Database folder on my Windows desktop.

The first thing that happens when I start SpotCollecter is that it creates a Database folder on my Windows desktop. This should be in the Spotcollector directory, I certainly don't want it on my desktop. Of course I am now anxiously awaiting CI-V commander V2.5.3 to get rig control working with this. Basically it seems to be working but of course I'm still learning and haven't spent a lot of time with it yet. But boy have you opened a new ball of wax by putting the spots on the DXView display. As I am sitting here watching DXView get the measles I notice a marker somewhere off the coast of Australia and North of New Zealand on one of the small islands there - certainly an interesting spot, but who is it? So of course what comes to mind next is some way to identify the callsign associated with a red dot on the map. ---- 73, Rich - W3ZJ -----Original Message-----

Pathfinder Users: RW1QM is down for repairs
Dave, AA6YQ
As you can see from , RW1QM is recovering from
problems with his hosting server. Lets wish Alex a speedy recovery; until then, the Octavia database is another excellent source of CIS QSO info. If you haven't assigned Octavia to a search button, follow the instructions at ; in step 4, select the file Octavia.txt from your search folder. 73, Dave, AA6YQ Pathfinder is a free program that makes it easy to find QSL information from more than 100 web-accessible sources. See for additional information and download instructions. Or use the Pathfinder Web Client -- its a little less flexible, but requires no downloading or installation and runs in any Javascript-supporting browser on Windows, MacOS, Linux, or Unix; just visit . |

DXKeeper 1.2.7 will be a pre-requisite for the forthcoming SpotCollector release -- the Configuration screen's Awards tab is considered in determining whether a spotted station is "needed", just as it determines what QSOs you need confirmed. SpotCollector references these settings even if DXKeeper is not running.
