LOTW --- DXKeeper discrepancy

 

Dave-
?
I attempted a LOTW upload today, it aborted due to a duplicate.?
?
Investigation reveals 26 qsos that were uploaded to LOTW, but DXKeeper says Not uploaded.?
?
I have them identified.??
?
I confirmed that are in LOTW.?
?
What is best way to change DXKeeper to LOTW uploaded?
?
Thanks Dan KC2STA

Re: Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon

 

Hello Dave......After writing to the group I turned the computer off and took a break. When I turned the computer back on I went to the Launcher folder and clicked on the Launcher exec. it loaded the Launcher again and the Relocation backup was in the Workspaces. I checked to see if the files I moved were present in the Relocation backup, they were. I clicked Load the Workspace and Windows gave me hell for changing the registry settings, but finally let me load the Workspaces.? I then loaded the files into the locations in the New PC.?
?
I have not yet connected the new PC to the radio. I have not clicked? restore buttons in the Launcher yet. The Launcher buttons are all red and the Pathways shown in the configuration window of the Launcher show the proper pathways
?
a) should I connect the radio to the PC at this point before I hit the restore button?
?
I have prevented the USB ports from powering down.
?
All the Path names are the same for the installation and its on a single monitor.
?
I think I am at item 12 once the above is accomplished. not sure what I need to do in item 12 but will endeavor to figure that out once I get that far.
?
I am not sure what caused the Launcher issue but I appears to have rectified itself once I clicked on the Launcher Exec. I was also able to get the Launcher pinned to the Task bar so that is good to go now.
I think I am on the right track.....Thank you I am sure that this is not the last time you all will hear from me.....Thank God for this group and your infinite patience.
Re: DXView main window not visible any more

 

Thanks Joe and Walt for the tips!
?
The taskbar tip of Walt, which I tried first, didn't help, but Joe's Reset via Launcher tip did it. DXView's main window is back!
?
Thanks again!

Subject: Re: [DXLab] Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon

+ AA6YQ comments below

Hello group and Dave.....I have just attempted to install DX Labs on a new Windows 11 machine. I have followed all the directions in the relocating DX Applications from one PC to another. I installed the the Launcher in the destination PC as instructed in Item 4. The launcher appeared and I followed the instructions in item 5. When I terminated the Launcher and tried to copy the relocation folder to the destination PC, it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file.

+ What does "it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file" mean?



In the error log for the Launcher agent it show version 1.4.8 which is not the correct Launcher version.


+ Please attach that errorlog.txt file to an email message, and send the
+ message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersof.com



It also states that the Launcher is running but there is no Launcher in the task bar or shown as an Icon In the Launcher error text log it shows the Launcher agent failed unzip DLL. When I click on the LauncherAgent exec. it show that the Launcher is waiting to terminate.

Question: should I delete everything in steps 4 and 5?


+ Absolutely not! Please wait until I receive the errorlog.txt file so I can determine what's going on.

Grin, Dave, I actually?copied "Commander's smeeter folder"? from that page and paragraph, but it just did not click for me.? I was fixed on finding it in the config file...sigh!
?
I've been struggling a bit with the excellent user guide, not finding what I needed in any given moment...until I realized I can find most anything with a browser search.? When that does not work for me, I appreciate?the quick help here.
+ There are two quick ways to search for information.

1. To quickly search all of a DXLab application's Reference Documentation, download its PDF from the "Searchable & Printable English Reference Documentation" column of this table:



To initiate the search, open the downloaded file, and depress the CTRL key while clicking the f key. Mike K9UW updates these PDF files immediately after every application update, so they are always accurate and complete.

2. To quickly search all of the DXLab goal-oriented documentation and step-by-step instructions, navigate to



To initiate the search, depress the CTRL key while clicking the f key.

+ When I point out the documentation that answers a question posted here, the intent is not a rebuke. The intent is to show you where the answer you seek is located so that you'll be able to use the documentation more effectively next time, rather than have to post here and wait for an answer.

+ When you can't find the answer you seek, posting here is exactly the right step to take. All questions are welcome here, no matter how many times they may have previously been asked and answered, or how obvious the answers might be in the documentation.

Re: DXView main window not visible any more

 

It has happened to me several times, also.
To bring a hidden or off-screen window back to your main desktop, you can use keyboard shortcuts or taskbar options.?Right-click on the taskbar and select "Cascade windows" or "Show windows stacked" to arrange open windows, including the hidden one.?Alternatively, use Alt+Tab to cycle through open windows until the hidden one is active, then use Shift+Right-click on its taskbar icon and select "Move" to reposition it using arrow keys,
Re: DXView main window not visible any more

 

Close all applications except Launcher and DXView.
Open Launcher -> Config and click Reset in the bottom row.

Reset will move all windows for any open application to the
primary monitor.

Hi,
usually, my DXView (4.9.8) main window starts minimized, only the World Map window is on
the screen.
Today I tried to maximize the main window, clicked on it in the tastbar, but it didn't appear on the
screen. I couldn't find a solution to let it appear. Uninstall and re-install didn't help as well, same
behaviour as before.
As I have no access to the DXView main window, I cannot pass an error log. I also have no access
to the World Map window any more, because I terminated it during trouble-shooting and would
need the main window to?let it re-appear.
I only was able to save DXViews application settings in the workspace, see below.
Any idea what I can do?
Thanks & 73,

DXView main window not visible any more

 

Hi,
?
usually, my DXView (4.9.8) main window starts minimized, only the World Map window is on
the screen.
?
Today I tried to maximize the main window, clicked on it in the tastbar, but it didn't appear on the
screen. I couldn't find a solution to let it appear. Uninstall and re-install didn't help as well, same
behaviour as before.
?
As I have no access to the DXView main window, I cannot pass an error log. I also have no access
to the World Map window any more, because I terminated it during trouble-shooting and would
need the main window to?let it re-appear.
?
I only was able to save DXViews application settings in the workspace, see below.
?
Any idea what I can do?
?
Thanks & 73,
Lui, DL6FBR

Re: Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
Hello group and Dave.....I have just attempted to install DX Labs on a new Windows 11 machine. I have followed all the directions in the relocating DX Applications from one PC to another. I installed the the Launcher in the destination PC as instructed in Item 4. The launcher appeared and I followed the instructions in item 5. When I terminated the Launcher and tried to copy the relocation folder to the destination PC, it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file.
+ What does "it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file" mean?

In the error log for the Launcher agent it show version 1.4.8 which is not the correct Launcher version.

+ Please attach that errorlog.txt file to an email message, and send the message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersof.com

It also states that the Launcher is running but there is no Launcher in the task bar or shown as an Icon In the Launcher error text log it shows the Launcher agent failed unzip DLL. When I click on the LauncherAgent exec. it show that the Launcher is waiting to terminate.
?
Question: should I delete everything in steps 4 and 5?

+ Absolutely not! Please wait until I receive the errorlog.txt file so I can determine what's going on.

Re: SpotCollector keeps going into yellow status

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
Spot database entries is 454000
+ That's the problem. If you're using SpotCollector to identify activity patterns of needed DX stations as well as propagation openings from your QTH to those needed stations, then on the Configuration window's "Spot Database" tab configure the "Size Control Panel to prune the Spot Database hourly to a maximum size of 30,000 entries. If you're instead using SpotCollector only to identify active stations with whom a logged QSO would advance your progress towards the awards or personal objectives you are pursuing, configure the "Size Control Panel to prune the Spot Database hourly to a maximum size of 1,000 entries

+ Take care to not pre-filter spots based on their source, as doing so could deny you an early opportunity to work a needed station. Use the Band filter to hide low-band Spot Database Entries during your daylight.

? ? ? 73,

? ? ? ? ? ? Dave, AA6YQ
Re: SpotCollector keeps going into yellow status

 

I made some of the changes W4TV suggested. Specifically, I turned off all spots except N6WS and enabled a bunch of pre-filter options.
?
I have not noticed the number in red after Q, however will keep an eye out.
?
Maximum separation time is set to 60.
Spot database entries is 454000
Spots per minute since 23:00 Z is 1.4
