Re: Logging when transmissions are made
Dave's DXKeeper manual (Logging New QSOs with the Capture window) says:
If the first letter of the callsign you enter is an exclamation point, DXKeeper assumes that you are logging a CQ, an unsuccessful call, a test, or some other transmission that you wish to record but does not represent a QSO. Such log entries are not assigned a DXCC prefix, do not initiate a Callbook database lookup, and are not included in award tracking statistics. 73 de ON6TM, Tony |

Re: LOTW --- DXKeeper discrepancy
Dave I always upload via DXKeeper. I have been using DXLAbs for more than 10 years, this is the only time this issue has occurred. The procedure you outlined worked perfectly!

Re: LOTW --- DXKeeper discrepancy
+ AA6YQ comments below
+ Did you submit them to LoTW from an application other than DXKeeper? ?
What is best way to change DXKeeper to LOTW uploaded?
+ Like this: 1. Filter the Log Page Display to contain those 26 QSOs; it's ok if other QSOs are included, if that makes the filtering easier. 2. On the Main window's QSL tab,? 2a. set the "QSL Via" panel to LoTW 2b. click the "Update from LoTW" button ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Dave, AA6YQ |

Re: Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon
+ AA6YQ comments below
+ There is no reason to click the Launcher's "Restore" buttons; you've already directed the Launcher to install your DXLab applications. + "Red" means "installed but not running", as expected. ?
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 suggest that you direct the Launcher to start DXView. If DXView's Main window appears and it runs correctly, then connect your radio to your PC, and direct the Launcher to start Commander. If that works correctly, then proceed with step 12; if you encounter more questions or concerns, don't hesitate to post them here. ?
I am not sure what caused the Launcher issue but I appears to have rectified itself once I clicked on the Launcher Exec.
?
+ Please attach the errorlog.txt file from your Launcher folder to an email message, and send the message to me via?

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.

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.

Re: Commander S-meter Display

Grin, Dave, I actually?copied "Commander's smeeter folder"? from that page and paragraph, but it just did not click for me.?

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, |
