Windows 10 Power Toys

I've been reading an article on Windows 10 Power Toys this morning: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/windows-10-powertoys-a-cheat-sheet/?
One feature caught my attention: FancyZones FancyZones allows users to manage where and how each separate application window open on a Windows 10 desktop will display. For example, you could use FancyZones to set up a Windows 10 desktop where Outlook always displays on the right-hand side of the desktop, Twitter or other social media always displays on the left-hand side of the desktop, and Word or Excel always displays in the middle between the other two.

Re: using dx commander with satpc32 questions
Bill Pence
I'll try that. The satpc32 com port I did not see a change, so its not configured. Thanks!

+ AA6YQ comments below
You likely have an error on the "Multi-Radio" tab ... Make sure the COM port # for the SatPC32 port is set to '-' (the last entry, below COM64) so that Commander releases the CAT port when SatPC32 is selected. + That requirement is illustrated in the screen shot in <https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/SatelliteTracking> + but was not explicitly mentioned until a edited the page a few minutes ago. Bill, please let me know if this doesn't enable you to smoothly switch Commander between interoperating directly with SatPC32 and directly controlling your transceiver. Note: you must also select SatPC32 as the radio before you start SatPC32 (if Commander has been running in "direct"- HF mode). + Correct; otherwise, SatPC32 won't be able to connect to your radio. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

using dx commander with satpc32 questions
Bill Pence
1st and most importantly, THANKS!! the capture window populates well.
I seem to have a couple of odd things with the serial port controlling the radio.
if I open satpc32, and get it connected to the radio, then open commander (last commander mode was satpc32...)
commander complains that it cannot open serial port. I think I configured the multi radio interface configuration correctly, and commander has
satpc32 selected when it starts. but commander still seems to try to capture the CAT com port?
(I get error pop up "unable to open com3" 2x when commander starts.)
also if i have commander open and in "direct" mode (not saptc32...) then select satpc32 mode, the open satpc32, satpc32 cannot connect to the radio serial port. I need to close commander, the open satpc32, then open commander. so commander might not be freeing the cat com port? did I miss some config to allow easy switching? I am running windows 7 pro SP1, 64 bit. satpc32 V.12.8d (registered version) commander version 14.2.6 my radio is FT-847 with FTDI USB serial interface COM3 I'll try to gather any debug info to help... thanks.

R: [DXLab] USA-CA Counties Report

-----Messaggio originale----- Da: DXLab@groups.io <DXLab@groups.io> Per conto di Dave AA6YQ Inviato: domenica 29 settembre 2019 18:35 A: DXLab@groups.io Oggetto: Re: [DXLab] USA-CA Counties Report + AA6YQ comments below Preparing my submission for the USA-CA counties Award (> 500) I discovered that: 1. few dozen of confirmed (by card) counties do not appear on the DxKeeper report. I realized that because these QSOs were ALSO confirmed with eQSL and included in the eQSL site report. + What is an "eQSL site report"? *** the list sorted in eQSL for USA-CA award How many others QSOs confirmed only by card have not been taken into consideration in the DxKeeper report? Did I miss something in the configuration? + Your questions imply that submitting QSOs confirmed via eQSL AG is erroneous. Such confirmations are valid for USA-CA. *** these QSO are accepted in eQSL submission award. They are all AG + If for some reason you only want to submit QSOs confirmed via QSL card, then before invoking the USA-CA progress report, filter the Log Page Display with QSL_RCVD in ('Y','S','V') + After you click the USA-CA button, DXKeeper will ask if you want this filter removed; click the No button. *** thanks for the suggestion. However the QSOs I indicated above do not appear in the DxK report (done without any filter and neither if just filtered by eQSL-AG). The QSOs are not confirmed by Card and the calls are eQSL-AG (i.e. W7ZR, NZ4CW,N0AV, etc.) 2. The Award requests that ALSO the date of the QSO is indicated. (The rule says: Contacts must be arranged alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by county within each state. Information provided for each contact must include call sign, date of contact, band and mode, in that order. Computer-generated lists must be in a tabular format with separate columns for each field listed above). In the DxKeeper report that date does not appear? Did I miss something in the configuration? Can I bypass this missing data/element? How? + Either this is a new requirement, or its been ignored for the past 19 years, as no one has ever reported their USA-CA progress report being rejected due to the QSO Date not being present. I have added "QSO Date" to the USA-CA progress report in the next version of DXKeeper, which is imminent. *** Thanks for the date implementation (just in time!!). It works perfectly. The USA-CA Awards Manager Brian - NX0X has just confirmed me that he needs the date also. *** Last request to you: How can I sort ALL my QSOs having the same "secondary_administrative_subdivision" - sec sub - in Award main pane?
