FW: [DXLab] IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander
+ AA6YQ comments below
Dave, you note: “If the PW1 is connected to Commander's Secondary CAT port and no other device, then the only way CI-V collisions can occur is if the PW1 transmit CI-V messages.”
Are you saying definitively that the PW1 is never shutting up?
Could you can see this in an error log?
+ Yes, I should be able to do so. You should be able to see it in Commander's Messages window if you uncheck "Capture and display Primary CAT Port Messages" and check " Capture and display Secondary CAT Port Messages". The > and < characters to the immediate right of the timestamp will show whether Commander or the PW1 transmitted each message.

Good morning,
I have a problem with Pathfinder here.
Pathfinder sometimes freezes.
Then the only solution is CRTL-ALT-Delete and then force shutdown.
and restart again then work pathfinder again.
Sometimes it is very fast, other times it takes a little longer.
are there more who recognize this problem?
And perhaps already have a solution?
I work with the complete DXLSuite
thanks for the response.
greeting
Rien, PA7RA Stay Safe!

The report that started this thread was that [some] QSOs confirmed by
LotW were being granted credit (verified) as *card* QSOs.
Since the current "connection" between LotW and the DXCC application
is by sneakernet, I would postulate that the "glitch" is human error
- that is the data entry person is inadvertently indicating that the
QSOs (credits) being entered are cards rather than LotW confirmations.

Pathfinder freezing has continued to be a problem since this was first posted years ago. Since then I have changed monitors, video drivers, versions of Pathfinder, and it still locks up. When it does, you can activate the window with a mouse click, but it is totally unresponsive to any mouse clicks beyond that. You have to terminate via Launcher (Control Click) or thought Task Manager.
When it restarts, all if hunky Dorey until the next ice age appears.
+ Reboot Windows into "Safe Mode with Networking" and then start Pathfinder with no other applications running. Open the Configuration window and make sure the "Internet Explorer Emulation" at the bottom shows version 11; if not, click the "Update Emulation" button.
+ Does Pathfinder still freeze?

Re: Verified vs Confirmed on LoTW
DXCC entities verified by cards only have the information from the card that applies to DXCC, so if that particular card is also good for WAZ or VUCC you would have to resubmit it for the other award. LOTW confirmations/verifications contain that extra info so you can more easily get credit for other awards.

made using all cards or all LotW credits. DXKeeper tracks credits by
source (card or LotW) and prepares submissions differently based on the
source.
Record keeping is made much more difficult if LotW reports the wrong
source of credit (when it has kept the two separate for 20 years).
