Thank you Charles. I don't see how this shows the callsign on Google Maps?
There is https://haminfo.tetranz.com/map but it only works with USA call signs.
I think there is a way to link PF to DXAtlas, however it doesn't display a Satellite view.
If I want to look at a foreign hams QTH on Google maps, I will use QRZ.com outside of PF.

I would not touch dxmaps with a 3 meter pole due to their cookie and
data sharing policies. They are some of the worst and most abusive
I've encountered in 30 years of computer experience.

Hi Dave,

I like using your QRZ (.com) button in DXV. And in Pathfinder, I often
click from Biography to Details Tab. In the Detail Tab I can see a map
window. But Clicking on "Show Map" button opens Internet Explorer and as
you know that doesn't work any more. (Microsoft has a new browser,
Microsoft Edge)

Well, its been since March that PathFinder users can't see the map and its
because, and I quote "You are using a browser that is not supported by the

There are posts about "Google Maps from Pathfinder" back on March 20 and

Can you please make a work-around so Pathfinder opens a newer Browser?
My work-around is to open QRZ.com, in a newer browser, login again, enter
the Callsign, click on Details Tab, Click on "Show Map".
I know QRZ's "Show Map" button works from FireFox, and Microsoft Edge, but
not Internet Explorer.

I haven't seen it before and wondered what it signified.

In the packet world "-n" is is a "sub-station ID" (SSID).
It indicates one of many stations operating under the same
owner callsign.

For spotting, some stations operating "out of district" will
use the SSID to indicate the correct district (e.g., W4TV-8
in Ohio). In other cases, some cluster software allows the
user to take advantage of the SSID to select specific saved
configurations (e.g. server side filtering, etc.).

Thanks for the info.

I recently completed an IOTA submission and all went well except that the downloaded IOTA CSV file and generated update report indicated a slight discrepancy between DXKeeper verified IOTA Groups and what IOTA has credited to my account. In this case IOTA had one additional verification not included in DXKeeper's Progress Report. The explanation is that one of the IOTA groups was confirmed by a matching contest log but for this QSO there was no independent confirmation by either LoTW or a QSL Card — so no way to verify the IOTA group. I imagine this problem might also exist with a matching Club Call QSO. 
The Wiki articles "Generating an IOTA Submission"  http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/GenerateIOTASubmission, "Tracking IOTA Award Progress" http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/IOTAStatus and the Help pages do not appear to address these issues.

Some stations indeed send spots from their "alternative" QTH. Especialy Italians do so.

Instead of <Callsign/P> they write <Callsign/2> or <Callsign/4 > etc.

Logging such QSO i always replace the suffix < /number > by </P>

Suffixes like numbering are not allowed and false info.

There is more flexibility in this implementation than I was aware. I have found (maybe everyone else already knew this) that you can just put <filtertextbox> in the assignment for a button in Adv Sorts and type your query directly in the filter textbox without needing to go to the Adv Sorts window. Even with the compound search noted above, the second half of the search can be entered there, or part of the the second half can be assigned the button in the Adv Sorts, as in (App_DXKeeper_Select = 'Y') and <filterbox>. There is also a Clear Select option there (cntl-Set).

+ I've sent you a new version of DXKeeper that provides the ability to set the Select items of all QSOs in the Log Page Display to Y or N from a panel at the bottom of the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" window.


I really should read the manual more closely!!

+ After you've been using DXLab for awhile, it's a good idea to review the Reference Documentation for each of the components you're using to see if there are additional capabilities that might be useful given your operating style.

My work-around is to open QRZ.com, in a newer browser, login again, enter the Callsign, click on Details Tab, Click on "Show Map".
I know QRZ's "Show Map" button works from FireFox, and Microsoft Edge, but not Internet Explorer.

+ Pathfinder's primary function is to enable the rapid discovery of QSL route information: type or select a callsign once, and then check up to 12 online sources of QSL information with one mouse click per source.

+ Pathfinder's secondary function is to provide DXKeeper users with no-cost access to QRZ.com as a callbook.

+ When Pathfinder was first deployed, QRZ.com did not include a map capability. 

+ Pathfinder does not open or otherwise interoperate with a classic Web Browser. Pathfinder incorporates a WebBrowser control provided by Microsoft. This WebBrowser control works correctly on all current versions of Windows, whether or not Internet Explorer or Edge are present.

+ QRZ's map is no longer accessible from Pathfinder's Main window because Google made a change to the mapping API that QRZ uses. Short of convincing QRZ to switch to a different mapping mechanism, there is no feasible workaround.

Dave I know about that page and have downloaded the programs from there. What I am looking for is how to configure the program to play correctly with DXlab.  Currently I have the gateway software installed but can not get it to talk correctly with commander and DXkeeper.  I seem to remember a set of instructions on how to set comports etc so that they talk to your software. Unfortunately I can no longer find them in your documentation. Maybe I try to look this stuff up incorrectly all the time I am not sure. But what I do is use the help tab on the program (such as commanders help tab) to get help on the app.  Maybe I need to go on line to the online information to find something like this but I get frustrated with myself when I can locate what I am looking for.  In I am having a pipe dream about the information I am looking for let me know but I find no setup/configuration info on his  site

+ It's not possible for me to document either MixW or the MixW-to-DXlab Gateway, as I do not have access to the source code for either of them. If you seek additional information, all I can suggest is that you contact the author of the Gateway.

Dave and others, An update, the mouse in question is from Microsoft model, Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000. I have tried this on 2 kitchen table built Win 7 PC's and a HP Win 8.1 laptop. All three have the same problem with this mouse where clicking on any digit in the frequency display and using the wheel does not change the frequency.
I put on a Logitech mouse and clicking on any digit results with a change in frequency.
It is strange that using a Microsoft Mouse in a Win PC has this problem with Commander.

The MS mouse works just fine on web pages using the scroll wheel.
The error log file indicated that no mouse wheel activity was detected in Commander.
It is able to click on buttons and move sliders and make check marks in Commander.
I am wondering is this, MouseWheelControl.ocx which is 20 years old needs to be updated and it shows up in the System32 and SysWOW64 folders. From what I found there is no updated version.

+ Given the wide variety of pointing devices with which MouseWHeelControl.ocx works correctly. the fact that one particular mouse doesn't report wheel rotation events is not evidence that MouseWheelControl.ocx is broken.

Afternoon all,
after a long time I am interested in trying my old copy of MIXW with DXlab software and currently running windows 7 operating system. The radio is an IC-7300. I have MIXW installed along with MIXW Gateway and the program receives correctly but will not assert PTT from the MIXW window. The program appears to be configured correctly from what I can remember (its been about 8 years since I used it without DXlab however) At this point I dont know if I have the ports configured correctly in the MIXW program. I do know however that everything is and has been working correctly for a year or two so I doubt changes need to be made in DXlab/Commander or even WW.

I believe there used to be a help page for this very thing on the DXlab web site but I be darned if I can find it. Can someone please point me to the correct page.

+ Here's the URL:

http://www.n2amg.com/software/mixw2-dxlabs-gateway/

P.S DXlab and WW performed flawlessly last weekend while I was working the RTTY contest (I am a cherry picker so only had about 140 contacts total) but it was loads of fun.

+ I made a few RTTY QSOs myself, and - like you - enjoyed doing so.

In the last few days, I have noticed several calls with a -(number) after their calls. The numbers are what is puzzling me.

Is this a Spot Collector issue or some new fad?

+ SpotCollector reports callsigns as it receives them from your spot sources.

+ Some spot sources append -# to callsigns obtained from skimmers (like "CW Skimmer")

+ Some spot sources append -@ to callsigns obtained from the DX Summit web cluster

+ You can optionally pre-filter callsigns ending in -# or -@, as described in

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/spotcollector/Help/Prefiltering.htm

+ I don't know what -(number) appended to a callsign means. From which spot source(s) are you seeing such callsigns?
