Re: Has anyone with an Elecraft K4 recently tried transmitting and receiving RTTY...

+ Thanks, Jeff! Did WinWarbler display RTTY text decoded by your K4 (as distinguished from RTTY text decoded by the MMTTY and 2Tone engines)? ? ? ? ?Dave |

Re: Has anyone with an Elecraft K4 recently tried transmitting and receiving RTTY...
Dave,
?
I am an infrequent user of WinWarbler, but I do have it set up.? I fired it up this morning, and it appears to function as it
should with My K4, both TX and RX.? Not a lot of activity here at the moment, but it seems ok.?
?
Win 10 Pro....

Has anyone with an Elecraft K4 recently tried transmitting and receiving RTTY...
...by setting the Model selector to "Xcvr Ctrl App" on the "External Modem" tab of WinWarbler's Configuration window? When so configured, WinWarbler transmits RTTY by directing Commander to send the outgoing characters to the K4 via an appropriate CAT command, and displays RTTY characters decoded by the K4 and received by way of Commander.
This scheme is supported with the K3 and worked with the K4 demonstrator that Elecraft loaned me, but it appears that new CAT commands may now be required. ?

Only spot source is N6WS and I see spots rolling in on the status window.? If it's a clue, when I compact the spots database I see spots flash on the spot collector window briefly and then go away.

Re: JTAlert failure after system crash - is there a workaround to log to DXKeeper?
+ AA6YQ comments below
SpotCollector will track your 6-meter grids.+ DXLab provides real-time award tracking for the DXCC, IOTA, Marathon, VUCC, WAS, WAZ, and WPX awards on the bands and modes that you've specified for each of them. Active stations with whom a QSO would advance your progress towards these awards are highlighted in SpotCollector with font color, with optional audio and email alerts. When directly interoperating with WSJT-X, stations with whom a QSO would advance your progress towards these awards are highlighted with font color in the WSJT-X Band Activity panel, as illustrated here: + Logging a QSO in WSJT-X automatically conveys that QSO to DXKeeper. Logging a QSO in DXKeeper automatically updates your award progress to reflect the impact of that QSO - whether the QSO was logged from WSJT-X, WinWarbler, MixW, MMSSTV, MultiPSK, or DXKeeper itself. ? ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ?

Re: JTAlert failure after system crash - is there a workaround to log to DXKeeper?
开云体育SpotCollector will track your 6-meter grids. First set up in DXKeeper | Config | Awards tab | VUCC Bands & Modes, this will activate the search for VHF grids. Then configure your SpotCollector display to show a column for your Award needs. SpotCollector | Config | Spot Database Display | Layout panel | select “Need” to add to the list. A need column will then appear in you SpotCollector on screen display, adjust column width and order as you would do in a spread sheet.? If unfamiliar click the “Help” box in the SpotCollector Config Awards Spot-Database-Display for details. ? After set up in DXKeeper and SpotCollector, you can have SpotCollector only display your complete list of Award needs by clicking the “Need” button in the lower portion of the SpotCollector display.? Use the “Age” filter after you set the Age time limit filter for the SpotCollector’s display in SpotCollector’s configuration. ? 73, Dave, w6de ? From: [email protected]

The most likely culprit is your protection software is interfering with JTAlert, perhaps going online with every JTAlert action to validate JTAlert activity. Cloud based virus protection can be very problematic if not configured correctly. de Laurie VK3AMA (JTAlert author) |

Peter, here is an additional guidance that I need to digest:? It seems to offer insight into various uses of "WSJTX to DXLab" when connected directly. Rich, NU6T On Thu, May 8, 2025 at 11:12?AM Peter Dougherty via <lists=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: JTAlert failure after system crash - is there a workaround to log to DXKeeper?
开云体育You do not need JT Alert to log into DXKeeper. Check the documentation . You can have each QSO log directly to DXKeeper without JTALERT. There are 2 ways to operate with DXLABS. ?
