Is there a way to display more than the 10 memories per bank?? I would love to see two bank or 20 memories or have this customizable if possible.

Thanks again, Dave.
I've been wondering about this for some time, since in the config, on the Prediction panel, both of these bands are included.? It would definitely be a help if either one or both was available.
What if I used the ICEPAC LUF & MUF instead?? (I admit, I don't know much about these engines...)

Re: Importing N1MM+ and/or WSJT-X logs
I just completed my second CWT today running DXKeeper along with N1MM using the N1MM-DXKeeper Gateway, rather than exporting an ADI from N1MM to import into DXKeeper.? I had the Gateway program
configured to do a QRZ.com lookup as each contact was processed.
?
I made 165 Qs in the hour.? I have a new Dell XPS 8960 with two SSDs and 64GB of RAM, and the Gateway program worked just fine.? My internet upload speed from Verizon 5G Home Internet is only
about 22Mbps.
?
I also had the Real Time Contest Server running, uploading each contact, and that was fine too.

Jn my opinion it is best not to use the bridge , especially in a contest, as it slows thigs down a lot and you can miss things. Best to export the N1MM log after you are done and import the adif to DXKeeper.
It always works and you get everything filled in that you have configured in DXKeeper. VERY reliable.

Re: Recent Error in DX Keeper Creating DX Marathon Progress Report
I can confirm an error with the Progress Report with the current
(unreleased) beta on *one of my two systems*. Running a Progress
Report leaves DXK unresponsive in the third pass of the report
generation. I've sent Dave the Errorlog.txt file.

Re: Error while trying to create new database in DxKeeper

Hi everyone,
I want to create a new database in DxKeeper to add QSOs that I made in a different DXCC entity than my QTH.
I am going down the path Config>(Log file) New>entering filename and then getting an error message "unable to create log database (filename)".
I tried 3-4 times and every time getting the same message.

Searching the errorlog I found the entry:
"program error 48 in module DXLogModule.CreateLog, State = 7, Pathname = C:\DXLab\DXKeeper\Databases\J45P.mdb: Error in loading DLL"
?
If anyone could help...

+ " Error in loading DLL" means that the Microsoft Jet Database Engine is broken. As a first step, reboot Windows, immediately start DXKeeper, and see if you can create the desired new log file.
