Frequency Dependent Device output to Serial Port
I am trying to use my transceiver frequency that is captured by DxCommander with the Frequency Dependent Device to generate a Ascii string to output to a serial port. I can get all the way to string generation, but cannot figure out how to direct it to a different serial port than the transceiver. I see how to do it with the parallel port but want it to go out to serial port controlled antenna switch. Thanks, Brian KC4KK

DXCCC Challenge: Worked vs Confirmed
2
I have 2453 confirmed dxcc challenge qso's and 2590 worked. A delta of 137. What report can I run to identify the 137 qso's so I can attempt to get them confirmed. There may be more than 137 qso's as I probably have qso's with multiple stations for the same dxcc/band. This would be a good thing as it would give me multiple chances to confirm the dxcc/band. I used to have a saved email with instructions on how to do this. I must of inadvertently deleted the email. I believe it was done with an SQL expression in the advanced icon to filter the log which I could then print with the Report icon. Thanks in advance. Rich -N5ZC

Electronic QSL

I reviewed the QSL info in the documentation and can¡¯t quite find what I¡¯m looking for. Lately I¡¯ve been getting electronic QSLs emailed to me. I¡¯d like to be able to print QSO details on an electronic image (jpg file) ready for emailing. No need for labels or printing to paper. Can this be done in DX Lab Suite? Thanks for your help with this.

WW's Web Server
9
I¡¯ve been playing with SpotCollector¡¯s Web Server, which I had working before I got my current home router, a TP-Link. I see the spots both on my computer and phone, but the font is in red on a black background when I select the Need button. When clicking on the X, I¡¯m assuming the font is in black but the background is still black, so I see only a black display in the window. Jim N7US

Spot Collector has stopped working
6
Hi all, My Spot Collector has stopped working. It was rolling along fine and, a few days ago, it stopped collecting spots. I get spots from 2 spot sources, both Telnet DX Clusters. When Spot Collector connects to them, I see plenty of spots coming through from them, but nothing shows in Spot Collector, even with no filters on and all bands checked. When I enable PacketCluster spots, which I have disabled because of the volume, I get a message that says it is not connected and ¡°SC_WSJTX has reported an error; the WSJT-X spot source has been disabled¡± I hadn¡¯t changed anything that I¡¯m aware of with it stopped working and I¡¯m stumped as to how to troubleshoot the problem. TIA¡.Scot, K9JY

Single-column labels?
3
My current QSL cards have enough space that a 5 1/2 inch (width) label will fit, so I ordered labels of that size. At that size on 8/2 x 11 pages, you essentially have 1-column labels. Having not tried to use labels before, I didn't realize that the QSL page will handle 2-column or 3-column, but not 1-column labels. Suggestions on how to handle this? Ben -- Ben Coleman nj8j@...

Importing wsjt-x adif file with one illegal call ends in importing the other calls in double
4
Today I worked TX9A in FT-8 everthing was logged in wsjtx adif file, where also 5 other qso, which where imported to dxkeeper already, are in. Usually the other 5 qsos are skipped, not so in this case, when the last one is "illegal" he imports the 5 and the illegal one 73 Alex, OE3JTB

Re-uploading QSO rejected by LOTW to LOTW
3
Recently, I attempted to upload QSO's for the special N4L callsign (for the Georgia QSO Party). Since this is a special call sign, I have certificates only for the dates of the QSO Party, one for each year. Evidently, I never got around to uploading the Qs for last year, so the upload included Qs for 2024 and 2025. LOTW selected the certificate for 2024, and rejected the 2025 Qs because they were outside of the dates for the 2024 certificate. I changed APP_DXKeeper_LotW_QSL_SENT to 'R' for the 2025 GQP Qs, and attempted to re-upload to LOTW. Of course, I got the message that there were were duplicate QSOs in the upload, and the upload was rejected. How do I get these rejected QSOs uploaded? Ben -- Ben Coleman nj8j@...

Error When I Run ReCompute in DXKeeper
4
It appears I worked W1AW/7 in Washington state on 2/26/2014 @ 18:24Z. I think the error I got refers to the county in Washington where the station was located. The error is: Broken: ARRL Section WA is inconsistent with DXCC Entity K and State WA and County WA,Okanogan Is there any way to determine where the heck this station was located so I can correct this error? 73, Bob KB4CL

Graphics cards and Monitors for the shack/ DXLab (about setting affinity)
4
About the application's affinity being transient. There is at least one way to set the affinity with DXLab Launcher. Here is the command line that I use to start WSJT-X in the Apps Started Before DXLab Apps tab: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 0x7 C:\Users\Public\wsjtx_2_7_0\bin\wsjtx.exe This sets the affinity to processors 0, 1 and 2. The hex code 0x7 is a bit mask where LSB represents CPU0, the next bit CPU1 and so on. So for example for CPUs 2 and 3 you would use hex code 0x0C. Here is how I start SpotCollector from the Apps Started After DXLab Apps tab: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K start /affinity 0x8 c:\Users\Public\DXLab\SpotCollector\SpotCollector.exe I use the option /K, which leaves the window for cmd.exe running, beacuse otherwise I couldn't terminate SpotCollector with the Launcher. Termination method Close would need a static main window caption, which SpotCollector doesn't have and the kill method needs a running parent process (cmd.exe) for the Termination to work. So I choose the kill method in the Launchers Termination box. I have of course disabled SpotCollector in the Launcher's DXLab Apps tab. If I need to start SpotCollector manually I have to start it from the Apps Started After DXLab Apps tab's Start button, if I want to have the affinity set. -- 73 de Tapio at station OH3HN On Sat, Apr 12, 2025 at 09:20 PM, Dave AA6YQ wrote:

Commander: Ham Bands Only check box location
5
I'm working my way through the manual and help files. Guidance for Commander, section on Changing Frequency (p 50), refers to a check box for "Ham Bands Only.' I have not found the location of that checkbox in the Commander window nor in the Configuration window for Commander. The checked box seems to result in the up down buttons to the left of the VFO frequency changing frequency by ham band. My current buttons cause frequency to move up or down by one MHz. The Ham Bands Only checkbox must be obvious, but I'm just not seeing it. Thanks for help[! Rich, NU6T -- Richard Hill

Is there a way to set the prefix for TX9A in SpotCollector? Since it shows unknown it will not flag the appropriate needed color, nor will it email me an alert. Thanks 73, Tim N9PN

Imported adif files not showing in DXkeeper
4
I've been away and finally got to importing 2400 WPX SSB Q's into DXkeeper. After import I did lotw "add requested" and then 2566 Q's were recorded as sent to lotw. approx 58000 Q's in the log. Then I noticed something that I've never used or seen before that DXkeeper "filter" box was set to show only lotw confirmed. I have no idea how the filter got set, but I had updated to the latest sw and databases prior to starting the importing of the adif. Sure enough all Q's after 1/16/2025 were not shown in DXkeeper. After 2/8/2025 I had also imported roughly 1000 Q's from WPX RTTY and sent those to lotw. After a bit of searching for how to turn of the "lotw confirmed" filter, I cleared it with no change in DXkeeper displayed log (still ended 1/16/2025) CTRL plus X clear made no change. Both adif's were imported from N1MM contest logs. Trying BAK log files also had no change, all after 1/16/2025 were missing. I suspect 1/16/2025 the last lotw upload btw. So I'm stuck in not seeing several thousand Q's which were uploaded to lotw but invisible to DXkeeper. How do I fix this?? Hypothesis: DXkeeper got stuck in displaying only lotw confirmed Q's when I imported the WPX SSB adif with the filter set. Clearing the filter now doesn't work. Grant KZ1W

Hello I ended to code an alternative to JT alert which is named "Wait and Pounce". https://sourceforge.net/projects/wait-and-pounce-ft8/ While I read the doc there https://www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/Help/NetworkService.htm I don't understand yet how to handle and what to send to Commander My main goal to make it simple, is to send message to Commander to set a new QRG to my TX. Is that possible? If so how should I format my UDP message? Thanks for your help C¨¦dric, F5UKW

Commander issue at start.

#technicalhelpquestion
Hello, nice to see this group about DxLab. I've just upgraded my 'very' old version of DXLab and after some trouble with Active X I can't start Commander. The first thing is the error coming from the missing Radio Model. I search about this missing parameter in the MDB, in txt files, and in Registry, but I don't find it. So where is stored the Radio model in this software? After acknowledge this error I get a error 9 and the program exist them self. I don't find any information about the stored parameters. Is there somebody having answer? ON4RM 73
