Pathfinder/QRZ Problem

 

I'm running DXKeeper 8.1.5, Pathfinder 4.5.6. I've updated the QRZ URL in Pathfinder "Config" and the QRZ button per earlier posts and AA7BQ's QRZ Website Link Policy Update. When accessing QRZ via DXKeeper and Pathfinder, the information posted in DXKeeper is incomplete, inconsistent and never entirely correct. When I inspect the Pathfinder Error Log text, I can see extra random characters added to the QRZ response which DXKeeper is misinterpreting. For example, when using Pathfinder to search on my callsign-KJ4WD, the error log contains the following:

01-Sep-2009 21:48:49 > Result = <callsign>KJ4WD<name>CARL J PONTO<addr1>e5de E96F314F80DC52 ae96f314f80dc52<addr2>5116 BEAVER CREEK RD<country>NEW HILL, NC 27562<grid>FM05mq<state>North Carolina<county>Chatham

As a result, DXKeeper displayed my name correctly but displayed "Beaver Creek" as my QTH. Note the random data in the <addr1> field. If it would be helpful in diagnosing this problem, I can send the Pathfinder Error Log file via email. 73

Re: Another Pathfinder/QRZ problem?

 

On Pathfinder's Config window, What URL is shown for QRZ.com ?

Dave and the group,

I just started PF to check an address, and it nicely told me a couple of things had been updated, but I am now getting a Google page whenever I try to find a call in QRZ.
It appears to work OK with Buckmaster, but QRZ seems to direct me to a Google search page for the call in question.

I tried QRZ in a browser window, and that works OK, but it still won't work with PF.

I even tried closing and restarting PF, but that had no effect.

Any one else getting this problem??

Re: Another Pathfinder/QRZ problem?

 

I had this problem yesterday
evidently QRZ changed their format for requests?
I had to go to Pathfinder config
and change to
{TargetCallsign}

Winwarbler frequency readout sourced from dxlabs-hrd gateway

Jeff Blaine AC0C
 

Is there a way to get Win Warbler to grab the frequency from the dxlabs_hrd gateway v1.02?

All the other dxlabs programs can see the frequency from that applet, but I for some reason cannot seem to figure out how to get Win Warbler to read it from anything other than commander.

Appreciate any suggestions!

Hi:

I tried this and now it is trasferring data from QRZ.COM to Winwarbler which
is something it did not do before, however my problem now is that the info
is not in the correct fields. For example, I tried my callsign and on Name I
get AN on QTH I get Mario Aviles. So there is something wrong with the
fields match.


QRZ.com is back up. When I direct WinWarbler to perform a lookup on your
call (via DXKeeper and Pathfinder), WinWarbler's "QSO Info" window is
properly populated with your name, QTH, Continent, CQ zone, ITU zone, and
grid square.

Re: Another Pathfinder/QRZ problem?

 

QRZ.com appears to be broken at the moment. Let's see what happens after its
repaired.

They made some changes on QRZ.com
Now you need to change URL on Pathfinder.
Puth this one:
{TargetCallsign}
You need to change this on CONFIG, and do not forget todo the same on a
QRZ botton (ctrl + left mouse botton)

Please excuse me if this has already been hashed over, but I scanned
through recent messages on the yahoogroup, and didn't see any mention of
this problem.

I hadn't been on the rig for a few days, and Sunday evening looked to see
what I could find. When starting up Pathfinder, I noticed there were a
couple of updates it wanted to do. After doing those, I worked a little PSK,
and when WinWarbler would try to find a name and QTH by using Pathfinder, I
would get a script error from QRZ.com. If I went to the Pathfinder window,
the QRZ opening web page would be up with the target callsign in the
Pathfinder window, at which time I could click on the "QRZ" button in
Pathfinder, and it would go to the proper record.

I figured the PC might have something "sideways", so I rebooted the PC.
After reboot and restarting the suite, I had the same problems. When trying
it this morning, I don't get the script error, but QRZ still only goes to
the opening page, and I get a dxlab window that pops up and says the target
callsign wasn't found (xx0xx not found).

I have all the latest versions of all components of the suite.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ken

I suspect that adding horizontal connecting lines to the current chart
would degrade intelligibility for many ops, given the existing vertical
lines used to show the day's range for each parameter.
I agree Dave, leave it as it is please !

Hi Dave,
I am using DXKeeper more then one year, don't need to say that's EXCELLENT,
Brilliant etc...
I am interesting is some how possible filtering QSL aging on DXKeeper's
LogQSO window?
It will be easy to aging all missed QSL cards for band/mode, maybe IOTA,
etc. ( I don't know how ?)

Two steps:
1. on the Config window's Awards tab, make sure the "Expiration age" box in
the "QSL Aging" panel is blank. (along the right margin, half-way down)

2. on the Main window's "Check Progress" tab, click the "Card Aging" button

For a description of this function, see
< Aging>

or click one of DXKeeper's Help buttons and navigate to the "Checking
Award Progress" section's "QSL Card Aging Analysis" topic.

Kinda off topic, but any plot of the solar flux is pretty simple these days seeing as it is stuck at 68 and this is the 51st day without a sunspot. I think the programming effort would better be applied to the "Flux Enhancement Module" You know, a slide bar were we could drag the flux from 68 up to 200 while we are operating, and then put it back when we QRT for the day! :-)

I second this feature request.
I'd be happy if the slider just went to 120 LOL

Hi All

Would it be possible to have the dots joined in the History display with
relevant coloured lines. Just an asthetic suggestion but my eyes find all
the dots tend to meld over time. I know I can separate the readings but I
find lines tend to show a trend more dynamically.

Nothing major....just a suggestion.

I suspect that adding horizontal connecting lines to the current chart
would degrade intelligibility for many ops, given the existing vertical
lines used to show the day's range for each parameter.

In the "Solar and Geomagnetic Parameters" window's lower left corner,
there are A and K boxes. Try unchecking these boxes; is the solar flux trend
now easier to comprehend? There's an SFI box in the lower right corner that
can be unchecked when you want to focus on the A or K trend.
