Populating maps with log data?
4
Is there a way to populate one of the DXLab maps with log records? I am wondering whether worked or confirmed DXCC entities or zones can be illustrated on associated maps. I have DX Atlas. Thanks Rich, NU6T

My last 12 OSO's would not upload to Lotw
7
When I submit most requested I get a blank window. If I try to upload manually I get a message that no QSO's were submitted because some QSO's were already uploaded or invalid. Of course checking Lotw shows none of the 12 were submitted? If I look at what should have been uploaded I see a message that says Invalid prop mode (internet) on line 5 ? This all started on March 16th. I did submit for a new TQSL for our club station on March 14. When I look at TQSL certificates it still shows that my certificate is active and usable. Each TQSL is under its own call sign. Anyone have an idea? Al. KA9OUT

Prefix/Call not transferred to DXKeeper
4
Double clicking a call in SpotCollector with a prefix/call sign eg. FY/X8WW shows up in the DXKeeper filter box as X8WW but.... does show up in Capture as FY/X8WW with the prefix DXCC (FY) and is logged as FY/X8WW. While it is nice to know I worked the base call before I also have interest in knowing if I have worked the prefix DX before. Is this something that can be changed so the entire call is used to filter DXKeeper not just the 'base' call? Perhaps a toggle between the two? Thanks for DXLab it is surely the pinnacle of logging programs. 73 Den

QSO Path in DX Atlas?
13

QRZ subscription value?
16
I'm getting back into the hobby and am interested in DXing. I currently have little interest in QRZ awards. I'm guessing that QRZ will help with information useful when seeking QSL cards from ops who don't use LotW. LotW is my primary QSL route. More than 10 years ago I sought paper QSL cards and expect to do so now for needed QSLs. I just received a WAZ award due to my old QSL card collection and LotW. Is QRZ relevant today and is there an advantage to buying a Premium subscription to avoid ads? I'm considering getting a subscription and API to use in DXKeeper/DXLab. Thanks for your insight and experience. Rich, NU6T

Having problem connecting DXLab Commander with Flex 6400!
3
New user here. Was able to install DXLab applications and had no problem connecting Commander to the Flex 6400, by specifying the IP and Port address. Upgraded to the new Commander today and I have lost the connection. Followed documentation to run older exe file to no avail. If I go to ports and select a port with 19200 - 8,none,2,off,on, nothing connects. I am running Windows 11 and did not upgrade. Failed to do a restore point before upgrade of Commander. I am at a lost! Any ideals what I can try. Copied errorlog.txt below with error 9 code. 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > CI-V Commander version 16.0.3 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > App.Path : C:\DXLab\Commander 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > App.exe : CI-V Commander 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > Module : C:\DXLab\Commander\CI-V Commander.exe 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > Operating System : Windows 11 (64-bit) build 22631 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > Locale ID : 1033 (0x409) 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > ANSI CodePage : 1252 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > OEM CodePage : 437 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > Country : United States 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > Language : English 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > DecimalSeparator : . <46><0> 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > ThousandSeparator : , <44><0> 2025-03-13 19:06:43 > DXLab Apps : 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > Monitors : 2 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > Monitor 1 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > width : 1920 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > height : 1080 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > dimensions : (0, 0)-(1920, 1080) 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > Monitor 2 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > width : 1920 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > height : 1080 2025-03-13 19:07:01 > dimensions : (-1920, 0)-(0, 1080) 2025-03-13 19:07:01.505 > program error 9 in module CIVModule.FilterGroupClick: Subscript out of range 2025-03-13 19:07:20.022 > Common.Terminate: CI-V Commander shutdown Roland NA5Q

Change QSO in bulk-Another question
5
I have read the instructions and used them before to change QSO's in bulk ie QTH, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out how to change LOTW and eQSL from "N" to a blank. I did get QSL changed using the drop down menu in MOD, but the others are not listed in the drop down. Above the section with the drop down for MOD there is a place that has four spaces for Caption title and syntax (I think that is what it was) where you can save it to use again. I placed them in there and saved it as A-Index, but it didn't change the QSO's. I know I am missing something simple. Sorry Dave for my ignorance. TIA, Walt ~ WB7UOF

SpotCollector Special Callsigns won't load
4
When I direct SpotCollector to load a special callsign file in .txt format, it appears to do so, showing that the file is being loaded, but the resulting list is empty. The file is in the same format I used on the computer with my previous DXLab installation, and the options are the same. There are no column headings (Callsign, Tag List, Expires), and I am unable to enter any text in the last row (the one with an * in the first column). Jim N7US

Special Event...
8
Can DXLab do this, or does anyone know of how I can make this happen? I plan on doing a "Special Event Station" And of course we will be logging all the contacts that are made. Now I know there are many web site that you can UP-Load your finished log, And it will plot on a map all the locations that are in the log. Done that many times. And we want to do something similar to that BUT.... We want it to happen Live. Like say we contact AA6YQ, and log him. Then in real time, or as fast as possible he gets plotted on the map. A Map that anyone can view. Does anyone know of any way that this can be done? Joe WB9SBD

IOTAMeme4WIN
The current version of DXKeeper provides an "IOTAmem4win update" checkbox in the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab. DXKeeper's Reference Documentation describes this checkbox thusly: ------- This panel's IOTAmem4win checkbox determines whether generating an IOTA progress report will also create IOTA_Worked and IOTA_Confirmed update files for IOTAMem4WIN in DXKeeper's Reports sub-folder. The URL to which IOTAMe4WIN links http://www.rsgbiota.org/downloads.php4 produces a "page no longer exists" error if one attempts to traverse it. There is no mention of IOTAMem4WIN in the current IOTA-World documentation: https://www.iota-world.org/iota-directory/iota-programme-rules/iota-programme-application-procedures.html My understanding is that DXKeeper's current submission support for IOTA award applications provides the necessary ability to convey QSOs to IOTA-world for IOTA award credit; the file generated for submission to IOTAMem4WIN is not used. In the next version of DXKeeper, the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab contains 3 new checkboxes: - Mixed - HF - VHF To avoid expanding the size of DXKeeper's Configuration window when the Awards tab is selected, I plan to make room by removinig the "IOTAmem4win update" checkbox. If there's a reason to not remote this checkbox, please let me know. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Invalid administrative subdivision errors

I'm trying to import ADIF files into DXKeeper. I have errors I need to fix for a single QSO with Hawaii that shows "<CNTY:8>HI,Kauai". I've been trying to learn how to properly fix this error without success. Any help will be appreciated. What have I done wrong? The original CQ Magazine references are no longer available.

Recovering from crash - DXKeeper QSOs upload to LoTW error
3
When uploading QSOs to LoTW, previously logged QSOs recovered to DXKeeper from OneDrive log backup are uploading to LoTW without any errors. However, New QSOs, logged since the recovery are being disabled thus: "Disabled QSL Queue entry for 9K2GR on 2025-03-13 at 23:22:08 - station location "Williston, Florida" specified in QSO's QTHID item "w4ndx" doesn't match station location "W4NDX" selected on the QSL Configuration window's LotW tab" I have chased this around until I am dizzy. How do I resolve this? Bruce, W4NDX. -- Bruce - W4NDX

Can I spot with notes from WinWarbler? say working a POTA station... I log him from WW then go to dxkeeper right click on his call to get the spot with notes to come up and inform that he is pota. I did not find in on a quick search. I did expand the layout on WW and did find I have a POTA window Tx for the software... before the suite...and learn something new all the time. Powerful!

How about W10?
Running W10 22H2 ... I have not seen anything here and know that this IS NOT A WINDOWS SUPPORT LIST but, for better or worse, Windows is the dongle that makes the DXLab suite work (N1MM+ Logger, too, and if it wasn't for these two software packages ...) I've seen the traffic about W11's crapulence of late but don't remember seeing anything about W10 ... Oh, and I have no plans to take the forced upgrade to W11 come fall ... -- Peter Laws | VE[23]UWY / N5UWY | plaws0 gmail com | Travel by Train!

LOTW Last Time On
3
Just saw C6AJB on 17M FT8. DXView shows the last time on s 2023-03-21. The drop-down menu on JTAert shows the same. When I go to LOTW online and look up the last on time it shows 2025-03-12. This is just one example. I usually use 6-9 months for what I consider an active LOTW member. I have found out I need to check online if a call appears that I want to work. I've seen several calls, where DXView or JTAlert show the last upload more than 2 years ago but when I check online the last upload was within a month or so. I update the LOTW file with every new release. I know this isn't a DXLab or JTAlert issue but just a heads up to folks. Tom-KQ5S
