Subject: [dxlab] SC and WW Questions
Good Afternoon
Two SC Questions:
1-Can SC be configured to save the last filter I was using? I have
SC set so the filter buttons are off the screen, so at every startup I
need to move things around to activate 'my' filter.
No. I was concerned that carrying over a filter from the previous
operating session might cause a user to miss needed DX.
2-Eliminating Beacon '/B' stations. I know this has been covered and
I have set /B as an invalid call sign, but they just keep on coming.
Any information would be appreciated.
Add B (with no slash) to the Special Callsign list with no tag.
One WW Question:
1- My radio (FT1000D) has two memories per band for the main VFO. I
generally keep one memory in the CW portion and the other in the RTTY
portion of any given band. Now using 20M as an example, one memory is
14025 CW and the other is 14085 FSK RTTY. The question/problem is when I see
a RTTY spot, I switch to the RTTY memory and listen for the station. If
the station is heard, I set the mode on the radio to LSB (AFSK RTTY) and
then click the RTTY mode button in WW. At this point, WW sets both memories
to the RTTY LSB frequency, there by destroying my ability to quickly go back
to CW. Is there a set up or button pushing sequence that will just set
WW to RTTY, open up the RTTY screen and do nothing with the memories on the
radio?
DXLab does not explicitly set the memories of any transceiver; whatever
changes to your FT1000D's memories are occuring are the transceiver's
response to being instructed to QSY to a particular frequency an mode.
You can configure SpotCollector so that when you see CW, phone, PSK, or
RTTY spot database entry of interest, all you need do is double-click that
entry; WinWarbler's QSO Info window will be appropriately initialized with
information from the spot database entry, and WinWarbler will direct
Commander to QSY to the appropriate frequency and mode so that operation can
begin immediately (e.g. if the frequency of a RTTY or PSK spot database
entry is accurate, WinWarbler will immediately begin displaying decoded
characters.
To do this, open the General tab of SpotCollector's Config window and
- in the "Actions with Digital Mode Application connected" panel, check the
Service column's Digital, CW, and SSB boxes
- in the "Digital Mode Application" panel, ensure that the Name is set to
WinWarbler
