printing mailing labels

Tad Danley
 

What is the procedure to print mailing labels - specifically, labels for all of the QSOs on my VUCC progress report. Since the ARRL does not _yet_ offer VUCC via LotW, I need to print them all regardless of whether they have been confirmed via LotW.

Thanks and 73,

Re: Subject: Save Stations Heard to txt file?

 

You could filter the Spot Database Display to include only local spots and
then click SpotCollector's Report button (just below the "Spot source
status" panel on SpotCollector's Main window).

I have forgotten how to save the Winwarbler Stations Heard information
to a txt file. I know it can be done, done it before. Perhaps
related to "local" spots in Spotcollector?

DXKeeper 8.1.6 is available

 

This release

- when synchronizing QSOs or QSLs with LotW, QSOs reported by LotW whose Mode is DATA are considered to match a logged QSO whose mode "counts" as RTTY for ARRL awards (tnx to Bob WU9Q)

- updates the AwardInfo.htm, index.htm, Log.htm, LogCompletedMain.htm, LogNewCapture.htm, LogNewMain.htm, ModifyLog.htm, Progress.htm, QSL.htm, Scripts.htm, and ViewEditLog.htm documentation files

If your are uploading digital mode QSOs to LotW where the digital mode is not yet supported by LotW (e.g. JT65A), configure TQSL to "map" these unsupported digital modes to DATA. The above enhancement allows DXKeeper to locate these QSOs in your log when directed to synchronize with LotW; previously, DXKeeper would report such QSOs as not matching any logged QSO because of the change in mode introduced by TQSL.

DXKeeper 8.1.6 is available via the DXLab Launcher and via

Re: cba and qrz

 

When was the last time the CBA button worked correctly, Bruce?
After you click the CBA button, what appears in Pathfinder's Main window?
In Pathfinder's Config window, is the QRZ.com URL set to
{TargetCallsign}

?

cba and qrz

 

Hello
I just started getting an error message "callsign was not found" when pressing the cba button. I use pathfinder and qrz to normally look it up and it has worked fine before. Anyone have any ideas?

Windows won't let more than one application open the same serial port.
The next time this happens, please enable "log debugging info" on the Config window's General tab, wait a minute, disable "log debugging info", and then attach the errorlog.txt file from your Commander folder to an email message to me at aa6yq@... . The errorlog will include Commander's directives to your K3 and the K3's responses, so I'll be able to see what's going on.

I can't remember the name or source of one of those programs that will stop all unnecessary applications and let only the minimum of programs.

Dave, right off the top of your head, is the OCX a potential problem?
Once I tried to start something running involving the MARAC Logger while DXLabs was also running. Could there be a potential conflict if the two are battling for the OCX?

There are many .ocx modules; to which one(s) are you referring?

My experience with my FT1000MP (same setup, two memories per band) is
that computer frequency control pretty much hoses any attempt to use
the buttons for specific band areas (CW - RTTY, CW - SSB, etc.). When
you set the radio frequency with the computer, it seems to set all the
information on the current button selection, messing up your choices
for using the button to change portions of the band, mode, etc.

I've pretty much given up using the buttons in any meaningful way to
do something like this to save permanent settings. I just use the
computer, click on spots and work the stations using whichever VFO
button selection I happen to be on at the time.

Commander provides 10 banks of 10 memories, so you can set up permanent
settings in a transceiver-independent fashion that will not be modified when
you double-click a spot database entry or bandspread entry.

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

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

Re: DXK - county look-up

 

I suspect that what Dave was getting at is that the State/County etc. may be dependent on the date of the QSO because the person has moved and QRZ.com will only show the present day information. I could have worked you while you were in Maricopa county Arizona but QRZ.com shows you in in McHenry county Illinois.

Re: DXK - county look-up

 

Just guessing, of course, but I suspect that the state and/or county

subtle mis-spellings. If it should happen again, please note the callsign
and send it my way. Thanks...

Re: WinWarbler Call Insert

Up at the top line in SpotCollector, do you see the letters WW between the set of brackets (along with CC, DXV etc)? And in the top line of WinWarbler do you see SC inside the brackets? If either of those do not show, it means that SC and WW are not talking to each other. You might need to close either one of them (or both), and reinitiate to get them talking.

You should be able to just double click the spot (not a single click)

Good Evening,
This is a question I've had for a long time; but have been unsuccessful in
finding the answer.
When using the WW logging capabilites, how do I get a spot from
