For MONTHS now, I've been having an on-again off-again problem. If I let my spot database get too large (around 10,000 entries is when I start noticing it), it gets slower & slower processing spots, until it finally just stops doing ANYTHING and I usually have to use Task Manager to kill the program before staring over. Well, this morning, it happened again. I had let it run overnight, and the database had around 20,000 entries, and when I first came into the radio room this morning, the Q said 842 and was just sitting there, not processing. Once I got it going again, I started going through ALL the config settings in Spot Collector, one-by-one like a checklist. I had a hit on the first one! Apparently, some time in the past, I meant to set "Maximum Separation in Time) to 60, which is reasonable, but I found it set to 600!!! My finger must have bounced on the 0 key and I never noticed. Spot |Collector sure seems to run better now that it's changed to 60, with my current database at ~11,300 and all Telnet sources are turned on with skimmer turned on throughout. Oops, now we're at ~11,350... A fat-fingered wrod ot teh wsie... Vy 7 3 Earl / KD5XB DM84 e e Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

HI THERE, I AM USING DXLAB FROM 2007 AND IT IS FOR ME THE BEST. A FEW DAYS AGO AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS AFTER THE INSTALATION OF THE LATEST VERSION OF DXKEEPER 18.1.4 DXKEEPER STARTED DOING THIS, AND IT DRIVES ME NUTS. THIS IS HAPPENING IS WHEN I CONCLUDE A QSO ONLY FROM WSJT-X RUNNING FT8 OR FT4. WHEN I ENTER A CALLSIGN AT THE DXKEEPERS CAPTURE WINDOW AND PRESS LOG ALL THE DATA ARE THERE. BUT NOT FROM WSJT-X. IT IS NOT FILLING UP (THE QTH TAB THE TX FREQUENCY TAB THE ADDRESS TAB THE CONTINENT TAB CQ TAB ITU TAB) WHAT IS CAUSING THAT I HAD NO PROBLEM BEFORE IT STARTEDBAS I SAID A FEW DAYS AGO. YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Some time ago I started using log4om. bad move. I want to switch back to dxl. When importing the adif is there a way to append the dxl database and avoid duplicate entries? -- 73, Greg - AB7R Flex 8600 PGXL & TGXL AG

I was trying to figure out why, when I turn skimmer on, none of the entries in Spot Collector show the # as they did on my old computer. Still looking on that one. However, using https://www.dxlabsuite.com/RBN/index.htm , the link for DX Summit (toward the top of this page) gave me a 404 error. Specifically, the link goes to http://www.dxsummit.fi/Default.aspx and gives a 404. I did notice that http://www.dxsummit.fi goes to http://www.dxsummit.fi/#/ and apparently gives a page of DX spots. (Spot Collector has spoiled me, I don't remember how to use http://www.dxsummit.fi/#/ ! LOL!) Vy 7 3 Earl / KD5XB e e Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Hello all, have a Question is there a way on the Qsl card you design that you can move the Qso report grid lines further up or down by itself or it always have to move together with the Station Callsign ? Thanks Jose NK4L -- jose gonzalez

I'm back in business. Yesterday I mentioned there were no other symptoms. Later I noticed that hyperlinks in Thunderbird emails did not work all of a sudden, though they still worked in Outlook. This morning, after a couple more PC re-boots, Thunderbird hyperlinks started working again. Probably no connection, but when I went back to DXL Launcher, things looked better - the Launcher config button now looked normal. But most of the apps, on the Launcher config page, looked as if they had never been installed. When I tried to install DXKeeper, there was a continuus hourglass, as if waiting for a response from me. And it was! When I held down alt-tab I saw a window asking if I want to install DXK, but I couldn't hit Yes cuz the window wouldn't cooperate and stay on the screen when I released the ALT key. Double checked that I had never set up a 2nd monitor...check Then I remembered about the Reset button in Launcher Config - that did the trick. Installed DXK, which is mostly the only DXL app I use, and noted that my 175k qso's are there! The issue seems to be solved. I'll note that my comdlg32.ocx file still has a creation date in 2004. Thanks Dave for DXL. While I'm not a heavy user, this was the 1st issue I've had in many years. I'll probably never know what the original cause was.... -Steve K8LX On 05/19/25 5:47 PM, Dave AA6YQ wrote:

running spot collector with 3 sources and after a while the scrolling stops but i see the queue counting down. the fix for me is to compact the database and all scrolling restarts. wish there was a setting to periodically compact the database . i do have periodic pruning turned on but it doesnt help the scrolling issue

The message appended below is from Terry G4POP, Log4OM Developer. 73, Dave, AA6YQ One of our testers has sent me a digest of some comments made on your DXLabs group, item 3 Re: Appending the log and I hope that you can correct some incorrect and somewhat damaging comments. Firstly there is reference to W9MBB, which I suspect should have been W9MDB Mike Black (SK), inferring he was an intrinsic part of the development of Log4OM. Mike was one of our testers and because of his involvement with Hamlib he kept us abreast of changes to that software. Although he will be missed both as a friend and as a tester, he played no part in the official support or development of Log4OM. Secondly it was stated that support for Log4OM was on and off! The only time support may have reduced a little was while I was in hospital having emergency heart surgery, other than that Log4OM support has been uninterrupted since its inception in 2010. Support is provided by Lele and me via our forum, social media presences, email, Discord, Skype (Recently replaced by Teams.) email and telephone, we can do no more. 73 de Terry G4POP Log4OM Developer Free logging software at https://www.log4om.com/

I thought I'd seen this issue (COMDKG32.ocx missing) discussed in the past, but it doesn't come up when I searched the archives. I'm seeing this error all of a sudden when either trying to start a DXL app from it's exe file in C:\DXLab\DXKeeper (for example), or when trying it from the launcher. The launcher start buttons are currently red for installed apps. One other odd thing is the config button in the Launcher lower left has the "o" whited out like C nfig. Any clue would be appreciated! -Steve K8LX

I am about to post release notes for DXKeeper 18.1.4 and SpotCollector 9.9.2. The primary driver for these two releases is the introduction of Realtime Award Tracking for the new IOTA HF and VHF Award Categories. Since this took several months, quite a few unrelated defects were corrected, and several unrelated enhancements were included. Please upgrade DXKeeper 18.1.4 first; if you're pursuing IOTA awards, adjust your award objectives in the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab, and then click the Recompute button at the bottom of that tab. The release notes for these new versions understate the contributions of the several DXLab users who helped bring these new versions to fruition. They tested many unreleased versions of each application, reporting defects that you will not encounter and making suggestions that simplify the upgrade process. The responsibility for any remaining defects is mine alone. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

I followed diligently the DXL instructions for setting this up. https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/GettingStartedwithK1JTModesWithJTAlert I am using two instances of WSJTX. Modes and freq are tracking fine between two slices. But when I go to TX from slice B in WSJTX it changes the TX over to Slice A and transmits. Clicking a decoded call in Slice B transmits to slice A. Any call I click in wsjtx does nothing with JTAlert or DXKeeper. -- 73, Greg - AB7R Flex 8600 PGXL & TGXL AG

Dave, A couple of weeks ago I changed computers to Win11. I think I followed all the instructions in the "how to" link. Everything was working fine and I was able to use Labs with WSJT no problem, Yesterday I saw that there were upgrades and when I tried to update I got error messages (screenshots attached). I would appreciate your assistance in showing me how to fix this issue. I also took a shot of the response from the Error Log button so you would see that there was no info. Thank you, Guy K4CNF

Joe, thanks for your prompt reply. I have done a "restore" on each program several times and attempted to start the programs after each time thru the Launcher. It continues to tell me that the program times out after 180 seconds without loading. The latest ver of Keeper I have before the upgrade today is 1799 and it will run and show up in Launcher is running before I run 1799, but if I terminate and rerun Launcher it goes back to 1814 and will not load. Same goes for SC. The latest ver I have there is 983.

Dist (km) in DXKeeper / Log QSOs / Details QSO (partner) since a few days is making an audio alarm the moment I open the Details panel. It has nothing to with the new DXKeeper update. I have zero interest in knowing the distance between both parties in a QSO. Checked DXKeeper config parameters and Help pages, found nothing there. The format is (xx.xxx,xx) e.g. 12.470,00 Using English (United Kingdom) Belgian comma since years. The audio alarm stays on even if one leaves the Details panel. Can only get rid of this nuisance by deleting the value in Dist (km) entirely. Can anyone help on this one please? 73 es dx Gust ON6KE PS Entering/completing a QSO via the Capture window does not produce dist (km) in the Details panel.

There is an error log, but perhaps there is an easy fix? 73,. N0AN Hasan

If you are using DXKeeper and haven't upgraded it to version 18.1.4 (or later), please do so and then direct DXKeeper to "Recompute" before upgrading to SpotCollector 9.9.2.
