I disagree, Tom. Pathfinder is working correctly here. Furthermore, a change in the QRZ web site would not cause your Buckmaster Hamcall search to suddenly stop working. My suspicion is that your Firewall (or some other anti-malware application) is preventing Pathfinder from accessing the internet.

The Launcher shows both commander and spot collector as installed already and does not offer the install option.

That means that the Registry settings that the Launcher relies on to determine if these applications are installed indicate that these applications are installed.
If you click on upgrade it generates the message cannot upgrade because "path...spotcollector.exe does not exist. Upgrade aborted.

That means that the "Program Path" you've specified for SpotCollector on the Launcher's Config window is invalid.

I need to find out if there is something I can delete that will cause launcher to know that commander and spotcollector are not actually installed and allow me to reinstall them.

Your PC's Windows Registry is in an inconsistent state. You can try running the free-ware Revo un-installer, but at this point there can be no guarantees short of "re-install Windows" (which I am not suggesting or recommending).

Subject: [dxlab] DXCC Submission Report Issue


Question - When a DX credit is confirmed by LOTW doesn't a QSL held for
credit get removed from the submission list? If not, it should.

I was holding two entity QSLs for submission to DXCC. I indicated they
should be added to the submission list when I received the cards.
Subsequently, those were confirmed via LOTW. Today, I prepared a submission
report to send cards to DXCC desk. The report indicated I still needed to
submit these two entity cards even though I now had LOTW credit.

Hopefully this is an anomaly and not a bug.

It is neither.
A "submission" is a set of QSOs whose "QSL_RCVD" or "LotW_QSL_RCVD" items
are set to 'S'. These items may have been set to 'S' by you manually, or
they may have been set to 'S' by DXKeeper's Submission generator. Initially,
the set of QSOs so marked is a set you intend to send to the ARRL's DXCC
desk; then they become a set that you have conveyed to the DXCC desk, and
finally a set that the DXCC desk has reviewed and acted upon prior to your
seeing the results of their action.

If during this process, a member of the submission initially confirmed by
QSL card is confirmed via LotW, what should DXKeeper do? For all it knows,
the QSO in question could have already been conveyed to the DXCC desk, or
even verified by that organization. For DXKeeper to unilaterally demote the
QSO's "QSL_RCVD" from 'S' to 'Y' would be incorrect; that would produce an
incorrect result were you to invoke the "Verify Submission" operation after
receiving notice that your submission had been entirely approved.

What DXKeeper should do in this circumstance is include in its summary of
the "Sync LotW QSLs" operation's results an indication that a QSO marked
"submitted" has been newly confirmed via LotW; you can then decide what
action is appropriate given the actual state of the submission. I'll ensure
that the next version of DXKeeper does this.

Re: Losing Contact With Commander

aburkefl
 

Okay - I understand. I guess where my thought processes were was that you needed to see what "stopped" when the contact was lost.

I'll play with it some and see if I can be aware when the contact goes away.

The MARAC Logger that I thought was possibly part of the problem doesn't use a serial port, so there's no competition there, at least not for COM control.

The contact between Commander and the K3 did seem much better after I changed the router to use the "patched" version of the K3 file. It's just irritating to change bands and suddenly discover that Commander didn't react and DXKeeper, instead of recording the change to 17M, left the freq on 20M. Most of my activity lately has been relegated mostly to 20M, so it hasn't been too scary.

Not exactly certain how to engage this scenario. If I turn on "log
debugging" and don't lose control, you'll learn nothing. If I work for a
while and then discover I've lost contact with Commander, that won't help
either, will it?

How large can the file get before it will give you problems? I could turn
debugging on first thing and then run as normal as possible (at least as
normally as I've been running!), but the debugging file might get kind of
large.

when Commander loses contact with the K3, I can see that the Router still
maintains contact with the K3 (patched).

At this point, I can only assume that some other program running in the
background is creating some kind of conflict.

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?

Re: Stopping Programs

aburkefl
 

Thanks Ken. I remember back in the days when I was a flight sim fanatic. Guys were constantly running programs that "cut out" the unnecessary background processing of programs you really didn't need (or wnat) that were hogging CPU time.

I shut off my Avast processing, but the program still downloads updates, so I guess something like Task Scheduler is still running.

Not nearly as sophisticated on PC processing as I used to be. Took too much time to "keep up!"

Dave,

I worked Kazakhstan yesterday, UN7DA. When the QSO is selected in the
DXKeeper 8.1.6 main window, the 'DXCC' is flashing red indicating a problem
but the DXCC code is correctly set to 130 and the prefix is UN. Now it
doesn't permit me to do anything else in the window until the error is
corrected. What is the error and how do I fix it?

First, open the Config window's General tab, and click the "Database
Info" button at the bottom; if the "DXKeeper Database Info" window shows
that your DXCC Database version is less than 2.2.7, then use the Databases
tab of DXView's Config window to upgrade your DXCC Database.

Then, select the Main window's "Check Progress" tab and click the
Recompute button along the bottom.

If this doesn't get you going, Ed, please let me know.

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.

Subject: [dxlab] RE: WPX report


Dave and the group,

I hadn't thought to do a Submission report, but I have now run that, and I
can see where the 2K0 comes from, but the 1B0 is a mystery still.
The 2K0 is from a G call I worked back in 2000, as we were then allowed to
use (eg) G1ABC/2K for the Millenium. I guess the WPX in DXK sees the /2K as
an alternative, just like AA6YQ/C6.

I am including a snippet from both reports here:
(Please note that I have included the log filter, merely as info, as that
1B0 showed up as a 40m DG contact)
WPX Progress:
GU0SUP Worked All Prefixes Progress Report 07-Sep-2009
Log Filter: ((mode='rtty') or (mode='psk') or (mode='digi')) and band='40m'
Index Prefix Status
1 1A0 worked (40m, DG)
2 1B0 worked (40m, DG)
3 2E0 worked (40m, DG)
4 2I0 worked (40m, DG)
5 3A2 worked (40m, DG)
6 3B7 confirmed (40m, DG)
7 3V8 worked (40m, DG)
8 3Z0 worked (40m, DG)
9 3Z1 confirmed (40m, DG)
10 3Z10 worked (40m, DG)
Total WPX Prefixes 928
Confirmed WPX Prefixes 326
Worked WPX Prefixes 602

Now the Submission report:
GU0SUP Worked All Prefixes Submission Report 07-Sep-2009
Log Filter: ((mode='rtty') or (mode='psk') or (mode='digi')) and band='40m'
Index Call Prefix Cards eQSL-AG
1 3B7SP 3B7 Y
2 3Z1V 3Z1 Y
3 4K6DI 4K6 Y
4 4L1BR 4L1 Y
5 4U1ITU 4U1 Y
6 4X6UU 4X6 Y
7 4Z5AV 4Z5 Y
8 5A7A 5A7 Y
9 5C5W 5C5 Y
10 7S4RY 7S4 Y
.
.
.
.
326 ZX2B ZX2 Y

So, both agree that I have 326 confirmed WPX's on 40m digi modes, and I
assume the difference between the top 10 in each case is that the Progress
is reporting those calls worked, whereas the Progress is showing those
confirmed.
However, I cannot find that 1B0 (zero, not letter O) whatever I do to filter
the log, or even leave it unfiltered.
I've also tried various SQL expressions to see if there is a call like /1B
in the log, but I don't recall any such call, and nothing comes of using
CALL LIKE '*/1*' or any other combination I can think of.
Any idea what I might use to try and find that 1B0 ??

time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd". -

This is my setup. I have "set QSO start when RST Rcvd" unchecked and
"initialize RST items to
default" checked.

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).

I just clicked 3A2MD at 2045 and walked away from computer. I came back hit
my log macro F key and then looked in the DXK log file. The Q start time was
2045 and the Q end time was 2050.

Situation: Click on spot or find station in pile up and start entry (enter
call sign) in WW. I then use TAB to see if I should proceed with chasing the
station. The QSO Started At Date/Time appears in red above call sign in WW.

Problem: I don't always get the station for several minutes and when I do,
it is a mad click to hit the BEGIN button and then the F Key to send my
report.

Is there or can there be a <begin> macro that can be placed in a F Key
function to reset the start time of the QSO? I can't find one in the list of
macros.

By default, a QSO's start time is set when you click the Main window's
"QSO Info" panel's Begin button.

On the Config window's Log tab, enabling the "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd" option means that a QSO's start time will be set when you specify its
"RST Rcvd" item, either by typing a report into the Main windows' "Log QSOs"
tab, or by double-clicking a received signal report.

On the Config window's Log tab, there is also an "initialize RST items to
default" option. If you enable this option and have also enabled "set QSO
start when RST Rcvd", then when you type a callsign into the "QSO Info"
window or double-click a decoded callsign

1. the "RST Rcvd" item is initialized to the default

2. the QSO's start time is set (because the "RST Rcvd" was recorded and you
have "set QSO start when RST Rcvd" enabled

If you want your RST items initialized to but don't want the QSO's start
time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd".

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).


I will bet that the group will be glad when today is over :)

Not at all, Jim. Providing answers to questions is one of the fundamental
purposes of this group. .

Re: SC Outgoing Spot Control

 

Rich and All



Yes, it is double click¡­¡­.



I guess I find it annoying or misleading to have it sit there. My eye keeps catching it and it just bothers me.



I yield, it isn¡¯t a problem J



Thanks

When I click on a spot it populates WW and also populates the call sign in

Mine doesn't do that unless I "double click" on a spot but perhaps
that's what you meant to say.
If I clear WW, after deciding that I can't work
the spot or don't want to work the spot, the call sign in the outgoing spot
in SC remains populated.

How can the spot call sign be cleared automatically? Now I just highlight
the call sign and hit the space bar, kind of old fashioned.
Why clear it? It's not hurting anything and will be replaced when you
double click the next spot. Min sits there with some callsign in it
almost all the time.

Also the spot frequency is not locked to the spot. If I move the dial the
spot frequency changes but the call sign remains. Is this normal?
Yes, if you had to tune your radio to bring the station in, then the
original spot frequency wasn't quite correct. If you re-spot the
station, you want to do so with what your believe to be the correct
frequency.
