IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander

 

However, when I turn the I am having trouble setting up my IC-PW1 in DXLabCommander. Please help.
I am not good at English. I am writing this with translation software, so sorry if the text is strange.
?
I want to connect IC-PW1 and SteppIR to IC-7600, but the frequency control of IC-PW1 does not work together even if I set DXLabCommander and IcomPW1 control as described in the manual.
IC-7600 (Primary CAT Serial Port) is connected to PC (DELL Win11) via USB port (COM X) and IC-PW1 and SteppIR (Secondary CAT Serial Port) are connected via USB interface to the same COM port (COM Y). The IC-7600 is connected to the PC (DELL Win11) via the same COM port (COM Y).
After the initial setup, when the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 are turned on, the PW1 alert lights up, and after clicking it, they can be controlled in power off and on again, the AUTO LED on the IC-PW1 is lit, but the PW1 alert on the DXLabCommander is not lit and the frequency control is not linked. Then, when the frequency is changed using the UP or DOWN switch on IC-PW1, the PW1 alert lights up, and when the AUTO LED is turned on again and the PW1 alert is clicked, the frequency control is linked.
Also, sometimes, when the power is turned on again, PW1 alert lights up and when clicked, it works correctly.
?
This is the situation. Please let me know how to set it up so that I can control it correctly.

IOTAMeme4WIN

 

开云体育

The current version of DXKeeper provides an "IOTAmem4win update" checkbox in the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab. DXKeeper's Reference Documentation describes this checkbox thusly:

-------

This panel's?IOTAmem4win?checkbox?determines whether??will also create?IOTA_Worked?and?IOTA_Confirmed?update files for??in DXKeeper's?Reports?sub-folder.

?

The URL to which IOTAMe4WIN links

http://www.rsgbiota.org/downloads.php4

produces a "page no longer exists" error if one attempts to traverse it.

There is no mention of IOTAMem4WIN in the current IOTA-World documentation:

https://www.iota-world.org/iota-directory/iota-programme-rules/iota-programme-application-procedures.html

My understanding is that DXKeeper's current submission support for IOTA award applications provides the necessary ability to convey QSOs to IOTA-world for IOTA award credit; the file generated for submission to IOTAMem4WIN is not used.

?

In the next version of DXKeeper, the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab contains 3 new checkboxes:

-?????? Mixed

-?????? HF

-?????? VHF

?

To avoid expanding the size of DXKeeper's Configuration window when the Awards tab is selected, I plan to make room by removinig the "IOTAmem4win update" checkbox. If there's a reason to not remote this checkbox, please let me know.

Re: QSO Path in DX Atlas?

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

Hello Dave - it is my understanding that DX Atlas relies on the Log Provider (i.e. DXLab, HRD, etc.) to show the QSO path. The functionality works great in DXLab, but I am looking for an option to increase the QSO path line density so that the path is more obvious.

+ I don't understand why such an option is needed: here's a screen shot of DX Atlas that I just now made:

I'm thinking the error, in part, is the CQ zone of 16, where the ADIF 3.0.3 specification indicates CQ zone 17 for Moscow.??

DXKeeper is flashing "district" on the "Log QSO" tab in the "Award" panel.

I'm not sure of how to correct this error, thanks for any help:

Re: QRZ subscription value?

Disabled QSL Queue entry for 6Y7EI on 2025-03-14 at 21:02:17 - station location "Williston, Florida" specified in QSO's QTHID item "williston" doesn't match station location "Williston" selected on the QSL Configuration window's LotW tab

Seems like somewhere there is a QTHID "williston," with station location "Williston, Florida" that is accessed when trying to upload to LoTW.

+ Assuming that you changed the name of your LoTW "Station Location" to Williston, as I suggested, then on the Main window's "my QTHs" tab, the LoTW selector in the Entry whose ID is Williston should specify Williston - not "Williston, Florida".
