Need Help with Logging


Chuck Scott
 

All:

I've been scratching my head and reading everything that makes sense, but can't see to sort out why I can't get calls and related data to show up in the DXKeeper Log QSOs tab most of the time.

I normally double click on a station of interest in SpotCollector or on the spectrum-waterfall display to focus on that station. That reliably sets my radio, populates DXView with the station data, and shows the path and destination on the DXView map. I thought this had extended to the DXKeeper Log QSOs tab, but that only happens now with certain stations. Seems like I filtered something.

It looks to me like DXKeeper is getting the data because I can see it diddling with the horizontal scroll bar in the logged QSO window, but it doesn't load the station data much of the time now.

Any thoughts? I've looked but just can't seem to find the Foo for this?

+ Is WinWarbler running?

+ In the Options panel on the General tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window, is the "Display previous QSOs on Lookup" box checked?

No

+ In the Options panel on the General tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window, is the "Display previous QSOs on Lookup" box checked?

It was set, but unchecking that results in no change in the DXKeeper Log QSOs area when I select a station from SpotCollector.

So, perhaps I should ask it this way, am I expecting it to work the way it normally does -- double click on the spot in SpotCollector and it pre-loads the call and info into the Log QSOs tab QSO section? Or is there another way it works?

Well, now that I look at things and do some more reading, is it instead the "Capture" window I should be trying to use and if so is there a way to bring that up when I select the spot?

Thanks,

* Unless you're making digital mode QSOs, the Capture window is the optimal way to log QSOs in real time (as opposed to from a paper logbook). To display the Capture window, click the Capture button on the Main window of DXKeeper's "Log QSOs" tab. Take a look at
