Same problem here this morning.

@ Dave: I have sent you the errorlog.txt some minutes ago. Hope you can find some useful information.
?
@ Phil: I have not tried yet if this work around will also be suitable for me but looks as a much better solution than to erase to fields and enter data into them again.

Hi Dave, and also Juergen DL8LE,
?
I also have the same issue with PropView, in that I too have a TX power set, but after entering a grid, then hitting return to get the lat & long, when I go to Prediction and "Predict To" long or short path, I get a pop-up to say No Transmitter Power specified, but I do not see the Take-Off angle problem.
?
However, if I choose "Predict From" and click either short or long path, I get the prediction, and I am then able to click on "Predict To" and get results.

FT4 and FT8 are in the current DefaultModes.txt file. The quickest way to fix that problem (unless Dave has a pointer to a stand alone copy of that file) is to close DXKeeper, open DXLab Launcher's Config screen and click "Restore" for DXKeepeer. That will download and install the current public release (17.9.9) which, I believe, contains the current DefaultModes.txt file. 73, ...
