Walt, the ARRL has
daily bulletin service in RTTY from W1AW. Check the ARRL web
site for the schedule. The Reverse Beacon Network also spots
RTTY, but in my experience activity is pretty low outside
contests 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <http://reversebeacon.net>, now spotting RTTY activity worldwide. For spots, please use your favorite "retail" DX cluster. On 10/24/2020 12:55 PM,

Re: N1MM-DXKeeper Gateway version 1.1.6

While using the gateway, if I enter a callsign in N1MM and hit enter the info is populated in N1MM but then the focus goes to the gateway application. I have to click on the N1MM log window so I can hit enter to log the qso. Is there a way to keep the gateway from taking the focus?+ The new "Operation log" added in Gateway1.1.6 may be responsible for that; I will investigate... 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Thank you for your quick response for the update to N1MM to DxKeeper Gateway. I'm trying it out now and really like the new log feature.+ In the Sort panel in the lower-left corner of the "Log QSOs" tab on DXKeeper's Main window, select "UTC". 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Re: N1MM-DXKeeper Gateway version 1.1.6
Phil Deaver
Dave-
Thank you for your quick response for the update to N1MM to DxKeeper Gateway. I'm trying it out now and really like the new log feature. One issue though. I get a popup from DXkeeper "there is no log page display sort specified, sorting the log page display by QSO date". This popup puts a halt to the contacts transferring to DXkeeper and LOTW. If I press OK, I get one more contact transferred and then the message again. It doesn't appear to lose any, it just holds them. I had to press it twenty times this morning to clear the logjam. I've looked at the menus and don't see one to indicate a default sort to prevent the popup from appearing. I've been seeing the issue lately and I think I've seen it before this latest revision. Thanks again for the quick revision to N1MM to Dxkeeper Gateway. Phil WR7T

My 7 year old niece was playing my laptop (when we were not on lockdown).. I think most of you know the end results. The end result she set WAS qsl as submitted and then cleared the panel.
I tried creating an sal to set it back to N ( I believe that is the state it should be before my 'jr' in training, never to touch anything with me there, operator
Can one help me to reset all eligible qso from 1/1/2020

I agree what is implemented is more flexible and desired (splitting the display/announcments apart) and its the right thing to do and fairly obvious... my query may have been a bit ambiguous. i normally do a lot or RTFM... before i post something here. Having created a few apps in my time, I realize how supporting the thing is no trivial effort on your part, thank you for that. apologize for taking your "support" bandwidth Dave...

The root cause of the behavior reported below: Larry was running DXKeeper 14.7.9, which was publicly released in December 2018 before DXKeeper provided support for FT4.

Re: Commander + CW Skimmer to Commander - strange behaviour

1. Step: only Commander, CW Skimmer to Commander and CW Skimmer are started Commander's initial command sequence sets both VFOs to CW and same frequency (AB command). No split. After the AB command only the normal status polling/reporting occurs. When I set the radio to Split and click into CW Skimmer -VFO-A is commanded to its previous frequency -VFO-B is commanded to the click-frequency -VFO-B is commanded to CW mode So everything works as it should 2. Step: same configuration as in 1. Step I invoke my FT8 command sequence, which puts VFO-A(RX) into USB with 4kHz bandwidth and VFO-B(TX) to PKT-U. After that I invoke my CW command sequence, which is the same as Commander's initial command sequence. When I then set Split and click into CW Skimmer - message flow shows the commands as in 1.Step So still everything is OK 3. Step: Winwarbler ( with no mode-control from Commander) added to the configuration of 1. Step When the FT8 command sequence and subsequently the CW command sequence are invoked from Commander - message flow shows the commands as in 1.Step So still everything is OK 4. Step: same configuration as 3.Step Now the FT8 sequence and subsequently the CW sequence are invoked from Winwarbler (PSK31 / CW) These Commander command sequences are part of my PSK and CW start-up makros. This has set again both VFOs to CW and same frequency (AB command). No split. After the AB command only the normal status polling/reporting occurs.
