Spot Collector has stopped working
2
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

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

TX9A Pfx showing as unknown in SpotCollector

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

Trying to figure how send UDP packet to DX Commander

#technicalhelpquestion
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

Importing wsjt-x adif file with one illegal call ends in importing the other calls in double
2
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

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

I guess you have decided to stop communicating. At least that is what it appears to be. I will not send another email after this one unless I hear from you. 73<<John N$QWF

Trouble with DXKeeper
8
I did a clean up duplicate files on my DXLab computer and removed a lot of the DX Lab files.. I reinstalled the DXLab Suite and then did a update, but not every thing has come back. When I run a Recompute Actions report -- All my qso are listed as the "Broken: ARRL Section ___ is inconsistent with DXCC Entity K and State ___ and County ___,______ . I checked and all the US States have been changed as well as the County.. It appears Call, Date, band. Mode, DXCC ID (all 291) DXCC (All United States. I having another problem, but I will submit it after I get this resolved.. Thanks Dan KX7DX

DXKeeper Command line import support
5
Hi DXLab, I've done some of my own "scripts" scanning WSJT-X adi files (creating import *.adif-files) and I have a wish that that I could import those in DXKeeper from directly via a command line instead via DXKeeper menus (works fine..). It would be a another interface to communicate with DXKeeper... like cmd: DXKImport.exe /f adif-file [optional parameters]. If this is doable I would be a lucky guy ! Best rgds/73 SM0FGT - Keijo

Filter question
4
I wrote the following filter in Spot Collector: (SPSNR>ReqSNR or LPSNR>ReqSNR) and <Needfilter> and <LotWfilter> and <Modefilter> and <Bandfilter> and<Agefilter> I "expected" to get spots with SP or LP of over 50, and higher, and I do, but I also get some spots where SP and LP are both blank (NOT on six meters). Did I misunderstand something? Thanks, Earl / KD5XB e e Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Virus software blocking dx pots dot com
7
Software that Dave recently recommended ( I cannot type it, because if I do, my email sender rejects it) is blocking dxpots.com due to a Trojan. I hav tried excluding it, I have added dxspots.com as an exclusion, I have added the ip address, I have added Spotcollector, and it continues to say the website is blocked, I am not familiar enough with the new piece of software to know what the next step is, any ideas?

discrepancy between LOTW and DXKeeper QSO totals
4
> I was trying to recover a LOTW confirmation on a single contact. I did the CTRL sync QSO's and LOTW is reporting over 100k qso's. DXK log says 76k. Is the 100k that LOTW states include other calls I have used such as DXpeditions? I am unsure where I would have made 30k qsos that got uploaded to LOTW without using DXK. I believe I can create a blank new log and then import from LOTW and find out? BTW inspecting 100k qsos takes a very long time. Mike W0MU

Importing issues
3
I am importing logs from wsjtx, jtdx, mshv etc. Most of the time I use jtalert to log to DXK at the same time but occasionally their are hiccups. When I do an import I usually get an unaccepted number of dupes. I am not sure what boxes to check for a cleaner import. I am using check duplicates on import +/- 10 mins and merge info. I might of had consider grid squares checked. Maybe I need to increase the minute range. Mike W0MU
