DXKeeper 1.2.3 is available
Dave, AA6YQ
This release
- properly saves the state of "Show Control Explanations" between sessions - includes instrumentation to detect the "persistent hourglass" defect (please be on the lookout for an error log) - automatically restarts the inter-application communication link with DXView, should it terminate - adds the option of specifying a UTC filter based on start date and end date (settings can be adjusted by depressing the control key while clicking the UTC filter button) If you've already installed DXKeeper 1.1.1 or later, you can upgrade to version 1.2.3 by downloading and then running ; your online help will be updated by this process. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

No problem, Tom. Lets pick a time this weekend to get together in
real time via HF or landline and we'll walk through the interface with your meter. Please send me a private email suggesting times that work for you. By the way, how are you powering your interface? If its via the RS232 port's modem control signals, you might start by verifying that the interface has power. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Tom Brouard" <stagehand@h...> wrote: Hi Dave,from your software projects but you are the only one that I know thatunderstands the interface.tried the message window as well with no results either.
