Re: OT - new monitor approx. 27 to 30 inch ideal resolution
ART SEARLE <w2nra@...>
Thank you, Guys, for all the suggestions. I had enough data to keep from making the mistake of buying a really big monitor that would actually be harder to see than my TV flat screen I was using. I settled on an LG 34" 2560 x 1080 21:9 monitor. It's wider but less height. Overall it is sharper. It sits about 6 inches beyond the length of my arm. So far it seems good and I can get a lot more on the screen. Ideally I wanted a curved monitor but I am buying a new rig soon and wanted to keep the price of this monitor down. Than you again, 73, Art, W2NRA DXCC CW Honor Roll SKCC #11634Sx5 CWOPS #1955

Re: cardstock types for Epson printers
Joe - W9RF
Ian, I own the Epson WF-3540 and have had excellent results with the Georgia Pacific 110 LB stock. Never have had a jam, and have used both tray and rear feeds, although mostly use the rear feed. Just wish the card stock was a little more glossy.. 73, W9RF - Joe

Re: cardstock types for Epson printers
Hi Ian... I recently purchased an Epson XP-430, which I don't think is a Work Force unit, however, I have had good results with 67 lb card stock, which is pretty well a standard size. I also used that stock with my former Canon printer, which unfortunately died. As always, YMMV. 73, Phil/VE1BVD Sydney, NS

Re: cardstock types for Epson printers
w6de
In a HP LaserJet 4050 Black and white and a HP 3600 Color LaserJet. Both of these work very well with Office Max 80 pound card stock. With any printer lay the paper in the tray with the “curl” cup side toward the roller, that is if the roller is above the paper tray, the curl should be up. That way the tendency of the paper is to wrap around the roller. Hold up a half inch ream of paper with one hand, grasped at the top between the thumb and forefinger. There will be a slight, but obvious curl.
I bought both of these printers used at an electronics surplus store for under $150 each several years apart. If you live near a big city there will be someplace selling used office equipment at bargain prices. I live near Sacramento.

-----Original Message-----AA6YQ comments below From: dxlab@... [mailto:dxlab@...] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2018 2:44 PM To: dxlab@... Subject: [dxlab] Improving Speed of Logging Hello, I use DXKeeper’s Capture window extensively. But, recently parts of its process seem to have slowed down. After I enter a callsign into the Capture window and press Enter, the QRZ.com page for that callsign is displayed and the Capture window is populated relatively rapidly (about 5-10 seconds). Given all that is happening, I am happy with that response. However, when I next click on the Log or Clear button on the Capture window, the time for the window to clear and be ready for a new entry has recently increased dramatically. Now, after clicking on Log or Clear, my cursor turns to the Window’s blue rotating circle, and it takes 20 to 30 seconds for logging and 15 to 20 seconds for the clearing process to complete. I am looking for suggestions on what to do to my computer or DXKeeper to speed up the logging and clearing process. (I have tried rebooting my computer, as well as closing and reopening all of the DXLab programs, including DXKeeper.) My computer is running Window’s 7. The processor is a two year old i7 and my hard drive is an SSD. I am using the current version of all of DXLab’s programs, including DXKeeper. Thanks for your help. 73,One possible cause of such behavior is that one or more of your anti-malware applications are improperly configured. To see if this is the case, please reboot Windows into "safe mode with networking". Then start DXKeeper, and log a new QSO; any change in performance? Dave, AA6YQ

It's working fine now, so I'll chalk it up to weirdness with the computer.

Re: Path Finder not logged into QRZ

Today it is taking a long time to log into QRZ.com. For a QRZ Browser login it is taking 30 to more than 60 seconds per each step: home page, login page, call sign, password, callsign look up. There is nothing DXKeeper can do to speed up QRZ. Maybe a XML subscription to QRZ would help.

Re: CQ Marathon just worked entity still showing in SC as needed
On the order of minutes to an hour or so. I had recently read the wiki entry on monitors for old eyes and my dual-LCD mount had arrived from Amazon so I powered down to install it. This happened after that. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it recurs, but I have worked a few new marathon entities since then and all is well. 73 de Chuck, WS1L
