Re: Problem printing QSL labels with no gaps between labels and no margin gaps
Try the following:

Row 1 offset = 3 mm Row height = 37 mm Column 1 offset = 4 mm Column 2 offset = 72 mm Column 3 offset = 144 mm Label width = 64 mm You may need to tweak the column 2 and column 3 offset values slightly.

Re: Problem printing QSL labels with no gaps between labels and no margin gaps

I am trying to print QSL labels on TOWER W100 labels on A4 sheets that are nominally 297 X 210 mm.? The labels are 37 X 70 mm in 3 columns and 8 rows.? The column offsets should be 0, 70, 140 as the label width is 70 with no gaps between.? My printer is a Canon TS3400 and it imposes a left margin of 3.387 mm and a top margin of 2.963 mm.? DXKeeper consequently reduces the printable area to 288.961 X 203.2 mm and determines the allowed column offset limits based on the reduced area and will not print if the offset exceeds the limit e.g. for column 3 the limit is 133 and it should be 140.? If I select "Ignore printer imposed margins", it sets them to 0, but it retains the reduced printable area and offset limits determined before.? Is there a workaround or remedy for this?+ DXKeeper is not reducing the printable area to 288.961 X 203.2 mm - that printable area is what your printer driver is reporting. Three columns of 70m wide labels require a 210mm wide printable area; your printer's 203.2mm width is insufficient. ?
+ Try selecting the next larger paper size and see what your printer driver reports as a printable area. ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ? Dave, AA6YQ |

Flex 8400 should be here tomorrow - DXLab documentation
Hi Group,
?
I finally bit the bullet and my new Flex 8400 should be here tomorrow.
?
Is the documentation in up-to-date for this radio?
?
It is going to be a big change from my Kenwood TS-570 and trying to get ready to get on the air with DXLab.
?
Thanks!

Re: Has anyone with an Elecraft K4 recently tried transmitting and receiving RTTY...

Re: Has anyone with an Elecraft K4 recently tried transmitting and receiving RTTY...
Dave,

I am an infrequent user of WinWarbler, but I do have it set up.? I fired it up this morning, and it appears to function as it
should with My K4, both TX and RX.? Not a lot of activity here at the moment, but it seems ok.?

Has anyone with an Elecraft K4 recently tried transmitting and receiving RTTY...
...by setting the Model selector to "Xcvr Ctrl App" on the "External Modem" tab of WinWarbler's Configuration window? When so configured, WinWarbler transmits RTTY by directing Commander to send the outgoing characters to the K4 via an appropriate CAT command, and displays RTTY characters decoded by the K4 and received by way of Commander.
This scheme is supported with the K3 and worked with the K4 demonstrator that Elecraft loaned me, but it appears that new CAT commands may now be required. ?

Only spot source is N6WS and I see spots rolling in on the status window.? If it's a clue, when I compact the spots database I see spots flash on the spot collector window briefly and then go away.

Re: JTAlert failure after system crash - is there a workaround to log to DXKeeper?
+ AA6YQ comments below
SpotCollector will track your 6-meter grids.+ DXLab provides real-time award tracking for the DXCC, IOTA, Marathon, VUCC, WAS, WAZ, and WPX awards on the bands and modes that you've specified for each of them. Active stations with whom a QSO would advance your progress towards these awards are highlighted in SpotCollector with font color, with optional audio and email alerts. When directly interoperating with WSJT-X, stations with whom a QSO would advance your progress towards these awards are highlighted with font color in the WSJT-X Band Activity panel, as illustrated here: + Logging a QSO in WSJT-X automatically conveys that QSO to DXKeeper. Logging a QSO in DXKeeper automatically updates your award progress to reflect the impact of that QSO - whether the QSO was logged from WSJT-X, WinWarbler, MixW, MMSSTV, MultiPSK, or DXKeeper itself. ? ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ?

Re: JTAlert failure after system crash - is there a workaround to log to DXKeeper?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSpotCollector will track your 6-meter grids. First set up in DXKeeper | Config | Awards tab | VUCC Bands & Modes, this will activate the search for VHF grids. Then configure your SpotCollector display to show a column for your Award needs. SpotCollector | Config | Spot Database Display | Layout panel | select ¡°Need¡± to add to the list. A need column will then appear in you SpotCollector on screen display, adjust column width and order as you would do in a spread sheet.? If unfamiliar click the ¡°Help¡± box in the SpotCollector Config Awards Spot-Database-Display for details. ? After set up in DXKeeper and SpotCollector, you can have SpotCollector only display your complete list of Award needs by clicking the ¡°Need¡± button in the lower portion of the SpotCollector display.? Use the ¡°Age¡± filter after you set the Age time limit filter for the SpotCollector¡¯s display in SpotCollector¡¯s configuration. ? 73, Dave, w6de ? From: [email protected]

The most likely culprit is your protection software is interfering with JTAlert, perhaps going online with every JTAlert action to validate JTAlert activity. Cloud based virus protection can be very problematic if not configured correctly. de Laurie VK3AMA (JTAlert author) |
