I did something stupid - Serial Ports
Scott MacKenzie <kb0fhp@...>
OK - something happened, and I have no clue how to fix it.
I wanted to try and program my Kenwood TM-G707a. To do that I had to reroute the cables. Always got a time-out error, which suggests to me a serial problem. After playing with it for a while - I gave up. Previously I have my ICOM 756 connected via com 1 and the CT-V cable. I had my rig blaster connected to com 6 via USB port and serial adapter. Worked fine - no issue with PTT or using commander. I used a long USB cable and the USB adapter at the end of the extension cable to connect it directly to the Rigblaster. I found a 9-pin serial cable and decided to use that instead of long USB extension. So I connected the USB serial adapter to the 9 pin cable which then connects to the rigblaster. I configure WW to 9600, 8, 1, N, and DTS+RTS. The rig will not key using the PPT. I then disconnected the long serial cable and connect the CT-V cable to the USB adapter, and configure CMDR to com 6 - CMDR works right away. So I know that both COM1 and Com6 work with CMDR. So I connect my CT-V cable to the long 9-pin serial cable which is connected to the USB cable serial adapter, which is then connected to the USB port. CMDR no longer works. This suggests that my serial cable is bad. I then went back to the usb extension, and CMDR via com1 and WW via com 6 are working. Again, indicating to me that the cable was bad.... is this seem right? Confused Scott, aka KB0FHP

Re: MARKING QSO'S FOR UPLOAD TO LOTW
Dave AA6YQ
The recommended way to do this is to check the "Initialize LotW Sent to 'R'
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
for each logged or imported QSO" box on the "QSL Config" window's LotW tab. Then to upload to LotW, all you need to do is 1. select the Main window's QSL tab 2. set the "QSL Via" to LotW 3. click the "Add Requested" button to populate the QSL Queue with all QSOs not yet uploaded to LotW 4. click the "Upload to LotW" button If you prefer a more manual approach, you can 1. filter the Log Page Display (at the bottom of the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab) to contain only those QSOs you wish to LotW (by date range, or by contest ID, or by any other combination of QSO properties you care to specify) 2. select the Main window's QSL tab 3. set the "QSL Via" to LotW 4. click the "Add All" button to populate the QSL Queue with all QSOs in the Log Page Display 5. click the "Upload to LotW" button These techniques are described in http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/QSL.htm which is locally accessible by clicking one of DXKeeper's Help buttons and navigating to the QSLing topic. You might also find the topics in http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/QSLingLotW to be helpful. 73, Dvae, AA6YQ

Re: Commander message buffer

This means that you have Commander's Messages window configured to collect

To disable it, click the Msgs button on Commander's Main window; this will display Commander's Messages window.

Re: Multiple Cards
Danny Douglas <n7dc@...>
Not sure about that. When ones turns cards in, for field checking, they require them in a certain format, with the multi cards at the end. Those forms are not required if you are sending the cards to the DXCC desk, but the forms themselves are required by the field checker, as that is what he sends in the the DXCC desk, and the cards are lined up exactly as you have them on the forms, in order for him to quickly check that everything is there.

Hi Dave, I have experienced this before where spots that are generated by WW broadband decode are sent to the cluster instead of being local in SC. Each time this has happened it was while I was running an application I was testing (based on your VB DXLabTest code). This application was not a cut down version of you code, but rather your code with some additional code for test purposes (I was actually trying to discover what DDE Links & Topics are available from the DXLab apps).
