DXKeeper 1.2.3 is available
Dave, AA6YQ
This release
- properly saves the state of "Show Control Explanations" between sessions - includes instrumentation to detect the "persistent hourglass" defect (please be on the lookout for an error log) - automatically restarts the inter-application communication link with DXView, should it terminate - adds the option of specifying a UTC filter based on start date and end date (settings can be adjusted by depressing the control key while clicking the UTC filter button) If you've already installed DXKeeper 1.1.1 or later, you can upgrade to version 1.2.3 by downloading and then running ; your online help will be updated by this process. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

No problem, Tom. Lets pick a time this weekend to get together in

If its via the RS232 port's modem control signals, you might start by verifying that the interface has power. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Tom Brouard" <stagehand@h...> wrote: Hi Dave,from your software projects but you are the only one that I know thatunderstands the interface.tried the message window as well with no results either.

Certainly. But I'd like to track down and correct the DXView-PropView-
DXKeeper interaction problem, as well as the DXKeeper "misbehaviour" issue first. Unfortunately, I have an XYL-driven furniture repair project that takes precedence over both of these, but it shouldn't involve more than a few hours work.

This does not correct the problem where the connection between DXKeeper and DXView is not established when you start DXView after both DXKeeper and PropView are already running. I also have problems at other times where the communication between the various applications seems to break down but I haven't yet been able to identify a consistent sequence of operations that cause that. However, this one with DXKeeper and PropView followed by DXView is very consistent. ---- 73, Rich - W3ZJ -----Original Message----- |
