I had to install in an account with administrator privileges so
unfortunately that is still required. I assume the installer does not have
the rights?

It would be nicer if it could install and run in a standard user but perhaps
that is more work than it is worth. Just the fact that it seems not to
require the hidden administrator account is a big plus because I can name it
as I wish and keep separate accounts for separate things. I don't even know
if there is such an account in W7?

Re: JD1BMM and overrides

 

Glad you got it sorted, Phil.

Until the most recent releases of SpotCollector and DXView, the only things you could specify in an override were callsign callsign and DXCC entity. The expansion was required to enable SpotCollector to accurately highlight spot database entries needed for WAZ, Marathon, IOTA, VUCC, WAS, etc. (of these, only WAZ is currently implemented).

My daughter passed her Tech and got her call yesterday!

Congratulations to both of you!

I would like to set up a fresh log for her in dxlab so we can track her
awards, progress, etc, and 'do something' when it starts so we can pick the
log to work in - hers or mine.

You can create an empty new log for Olivia using the "Log file" panel at
the top of Config window's Log tab. If the pathname for your log file shown
in this panel is

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;N8WRL.mdb

change this to

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;KJ4OTY.mdb

and then click the Create button. DXKeeper will create an empty new log, and
open it. To switch back to your log, Brian, you'd click the "Log file"
panel's Select button and double-click N8WRL.mdb in the "select existing
log" window.

At minimum, you'll also need to change the default "Station callsign"
(Config window, Defaults tab) whenever you change operators so that the
correct station callsign will be recorded with each QSO. If you don't mind
sharing the rest of the settings, this will be the fastest approach. If
you'd like to maintain separate settings, you could either direct the
Launcher to setup a pair of Workspaces, save your settings to your
Workspace, and then after Olivia establishes her settings save those to her
Workspace. Switching operators would then entail terminating all DXLab
applications except the Launcher, switching workspaces, and then restarting
your DXLab applications. Alternatively, you could create a separate Windows
user for Olivia, and switch Windows users whenever you switch operators.

I spent some quality time searching this group and the docs to no avail. Any
hints?

I can't test it at the moment, but I'm fairly certain that switching Windows users means shutting down all applications and then restarting them. Even if it doesn't, you can't have two different instances of Commander running and connected to the same serial port. So if you're looking for rapid switching in the short-term, I'd perform the switch by loading the new user's log file and changing the default Station Callsign to that of the new user. Eventually, the Launcher will let you switch all settings without having to terminate and restart applications, but this capability is not imminent.

Long time - hope all is well. Thank you so much for the quick reply. I will try the log-file approach. I also like the seperate windows accounts idea because we're getting ready for a Windows 7 migration here and plan to have seperate accounts for everyone in the family. things are getting a bit cluttered on the default/common acocunt now. One thing I will have to experiment with is how easily I can switch between acocunts - I log in and fire up DXkeeper, we switch users and she logs in and also fires it up. I wonder if we can just use Windows to switch back and forth as we take turns in a pileup. I suspect there will be issues with talking to the radio but will the two programs interoperate ok? We'd each have our own log files but I suspect we'd be sharing the common DB's - DXCC, lotw, etc?

If the video card has a fan, make sure its turning when power is applied;

No. As presently implemented (but not yet released), the WAC progress

The FX-5700LE is a reasonably powerful video card. It sounds like your system is intermittently entering a mode in which the CPU rather than the video card is doing the pixel management. You might try downloading the latest driver from nVidia.

If you're seeing a big increase, then your CPU is doing the work instead of

The frustrating part is that the behavior is intermittent. This morning as I was checking the settings per your request, I could rapidly QSY with no disappearing calls and yet, last evening, if I were to move the dial only slightly they were gone! I've opened a bunch of programs including my virus scanner to load the CPU and it is currently behaving as it should. Occasionally, when I spin the dial, the marker on the Bandspread window doesn't keep up but rather lags behind in updating. The more I think about this, I'm beginning to think that the problem may well be with the video card.

What is the best guess for the cause of the calls on the bandspread dial
of Commander disappearing as I tune up or down the band? Insufficient
memory or insufficient computer power? I'm running a 3 GHz P4 with 1
Gig of memory (2 x 512MB) on my DXLab computer.

From looking at the Windows Task Manager window, the CPU usage
increases rather dramatically when tuning and the memory usage stays
fairly constant which probably answers the question for me. :-)
Still, I wonder if others with similar computers notice the calls
disappear as they tune and reappear when you stop. More to the point,
do those of you running duo or quad core Intel computers notice the same
thing.

Hi Dave,

Actually LoW QSLs have to be submitted to ARRL and approved toward a

can't. They have to be already credited.

QSLs via card either have to be approved toward a DXCC Award or the
cards can be submitted or they can be checked by a card checker.

I'm also wondering about the 5 Band WAC. I think we need to keep in
mind that QSL cards submitted a long time ago, prior to the band
implementated computer tracking at ARRL, didn't include band credit.
So for 5 band WAC I recomment using the QSLs listed in DXCC credit on
the LotW Award matrix page.

I recently submitted my 5 Band WAC application but it was before I
knew about the LotW credit thingy. But I did verify that all of my WAC
QSL card entries were listed in my ARRL LotW DXCC band award matrix on
the website.

Similarly, a QSO confirmed via LotW doesn't actually "count" until
its submitted to and verified by the ARRL.

Said another way, a QSO confirmed via LotW will "count" towards WAC
after its been submitted to and approved by the DXCC desk. Thus it
should appear in the WAC progress report.

Thanks, Art. In the next version of DXKeeper, the WAC Progress
Report
counts
LotW confirmations.
All LotW confirmations or only those set to "V"? Seems like
counting all
LotW confirmations would yield incorrect WAC totals if the LotW
confirmation
has not been submitted and added to DXCC credit.
