3c3w - reported as Vietnam
DanM
Hello, I've worked these days 3c3w in multiple bands and I've noticed in DXKeeper it is reported as DXCC VIET NAM not EQUATORIAL GUINEA. I've also uploaded my log to ClubLog and received a message that : "Callsign: 3C3W Date: 2018-03-06 19:24:00 Band: 40 QSL: No DXKeeper shows 3W in DXCC column. Thanks !

dxkEEPER qso aUDIO rECORDING
wb2nvr@...
Hi Dave - I changed to a new PC a while ago, and forgot to set up the QSO recording feature. I set it up, and made a test QSO, and the recording worked FB. Next time I clicked on a spot in Spot collector, and the call sign was entered into the Capture window, I received an error message: DXKeeper QSO Audio unable to start recording, Result = 263 - mciERR_INVALID_DEVICE_NAME. In the DXKeeper Audio Configuration screen, I have the three check boxes checked, the Soundcard is Line (microHAM CODEC) [other choices are Headset Microphone (microHAM CODEC), Microphone, or Soundbar]. QSO Audio folder is D:\DXLab\QSO Audio I restarted the computer, made a test QSO, it was recorded OK, and then on the next Capture call sign entry, I get the error message. Windows 10, DXKeeper 14.4.8, microHAM microKeyer USB Device Router 8.8.4 I'd appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this problem. TNX ES 73, Bob WB2NVR

Re: Enabling control of the Spectrum-Waterfall window via user-defined command sequences
Dave, putting a few more minutes of thought into this I have not been able to poke any holes in the concept. However, if there was a way to also manage the REF level it would be even better. My experience from writing own programs doing this I have found that when zooming in you typically want to increase the REF level with around 10dB when coming from displaying a "mode" sub band and around 15dB when you come from displaying an entire band. When working a pile-up I find it extremely valuable to be able to see traces of as many competitor's as possible in the waterfall, so the adjustment of the REF level is quite critical. What complicates things a bit is that you do not want this new REF level to be "remembered" when you return to "normal" waterfall operation. Since doing all this automatically may introduce unacceptable complexity in both the code and for the user a solution could be to introduce a fifth "display mode", perhaps called "Zoom". (or "User" or "Custom" or something even better I haven't thought of) Just like CW, Data, Phone, and Band, Zoom would have it's own REF level and band edges but not necessarily a button to click. I think it would be sufficient if its sub band edges could only be set via a command sequence. (But the REF level slider should of course be "Zoom Ref Level".) And the "Zoom" sub band/state should be automatically selected when a command manipulating it is invoked. This way you can have unique settings for this special case but everything would "go back to normal" when you activate a spot or click one of the range buttons in the Spectrum-Waterfall window. 73, Björn SM7IUN 2018-03-06 19:15 GMT+01:00 Björn Ekelund <bjorn@...>:

Commander function keys not responding
Pat Cain KØPC
I use the User-Defined Controls to tell my K3 to send CW messages, e.g. F12 sends my call. Lately this has stopped working for me when I use the function keys on the keyboard. It still works correctly when I choose the F-key button in Commander with my mouse. I made sure Commander was the active application when trying the function keys.
I have searched the help file and configuration screens for something I may have disabled by accident but can't find anything. Can anyone provide any insight? Thanks, Pat K0PC

Yahoo Group update
Dave AA6YQ
Not all of my connections at Yahoo have evaporated; I am now the owner of the DXLab Yahoo Group. This makes possible an automated
transfer of members, messages, and files to groups.io. I have learned that the recent multi-week instability in Yahoo Group email delivery was a side effect of Yahoo engineers working to improve the underlying mechanism. This work is reported to be complete, which is consistent with the relatively crisp performance I've observed over the past week. I'm going to hold off on the groups.io transfer for now. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Enabling control of the Spectrum-Waterfall window via user-defined command sequences
Dave AA6YQ
Proposed new commands for use with the Spectrum-Waterfall window:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1. <SpectrumMode M> where M can be Centered or Fixed 2. <SpectrumFixedRange L,U> where L is the lower bound and U is the upper bound L and U can be specified with one of these 5 forms: F A+F A-F B+F B-F where F is a frequency in KHz A refers to VFO A or the Main VFO B refers to VFO B or the Sub VFO By using <IFMODE> and <IFSPLIT>, it should be possible to construct user-defined command sequences for all relevant scenarios. Concerns? Objections? Better ideas? 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Re: Error uploading Club Log
Rick Ellison
There was an email this morning about an issue at Clublog that concerns IBV6 and it not allowing users to connect properly. That is now fixed..
Hi all
If you've had problems connecting to Club Log over an IPV6 network in the last few days, please be advised there was a routing issue (which has been resolved) so this should not be causing any further trouble.
Many thanks to Stu, AC6AG for helping out!

If this doesn’t fix your issues try disabling the Connect to IPV6 networks in your network properties..

Re: Macro for CW Split
ART SEARLE <w2nra@...>
Hi Georges, I think the best way you can accomplish fairly close what you want is to click on the "Zoom in" button in the Spectrum window, once, twice or thrice. A few fast clicks of Zoom-in and/or Zoom-out should get you close. I don't know if there are plans to add macro commands to these buttons. It would be complicated to make Radio commands to do what you want because it's so difficult to calculate the command for each frequency. Example This would be the command to do that: However there is no easy way to calculate that because the order of a single frequency is not sequential. Your bottom edge is 1 4,0 1 9,0 0 0 I use a spreadsheet to calculate these fixed band edges. 73, Art, W2NRA DXCC CW Honor Roll CWOPS #1955 SKCC #11634Sx5
