CBA suddenly not working
|
Jeff, K6JW
I use CBA to obtain contact data using QRZ.com via Pathfinder. As of yesterday, I'm getting a message when I try to use it that says the searched callsign was not found. I have not changed my password on QRZ.com, my subscription is valid, and Pathfinder is working fine. I tried going to DXKeeper's configuration screen and changing from lookup via Pathfinder to XML Data but only get a message saying I have to have a valid subscription, which I do. I'm running Pathfinder 5.2.5 and DXKeeper 15.6.6. So, I'm stumped. My preference would be to continue using Pathfinder. What might be the problem?

Both worked correctly. + If you have a valid subscription to QRZ's XML Data service but attempting to use it produces a "you don't have a valid subscription" message, then my guess is that your QRZ account has either expired or been corrupted. Either way, I suggest that you engage with QRZ support. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Thanks, Dave. Yes, my subscription just expired. Generally, I think I've received a notice from QRZ.com reminding me to renew, but no notice showed up this year. So, I just renewed and will see if that corrects the problem. If not, I'll post an update.

I have same problem ONLY from rtty contacts made in recent contest comingby adif import from N1MM+. I can use CBA with normal contacts from WSJT-x, etc. Cant go back to those rtty contacts to update with CBA.Seems to be
something related to adif input from N1MM+ which I use after all contests. 73 Roger N3RC

K6MM + Thanks. What options do you have enabled on the Callbook tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window? + If you have "QRZ.com via Pathfinder" enabled, what version number appears in the title bar of Pathfinder's Main window? 73, Dave, AA6YQ

If this is working, then it sounds like the CBA function is working correctly. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Related Question Dave. Until very recently I had my DXKeeper receiving logging information via JTAlert. I am experimenting with using Grind Tracker instead and it is working with the exception that the call no longer seems to be doing any call book lookups. The newest lines stay whiite until I manually click on the CBA buttion for each new record. Before that was happening automatically. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere for the lookups to be automatic again? I know this could be an issue with Grid Tracker but I wanted to start with DXKeeper first. Thanks.

Pathfinder 5.2.5 (Script error notifications are hidden) withQRZ.com via Pathfinder checked + DXKeeper's CBA function is working correctly here with the Configuration window's Callbook tab configured for "QRZ.com via Pathfinder". Please describe what you're doing, step-by-step: what you expect to happen, and what actually happens. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

It only impacts the 600+ contacts imported from N1MM+ thru adif export from the recent NAQP contest. Its been working fine since then on new contacts. When I go back to any of those 600+ contacts and try an individual CBA nothing happens. Sort of means there was something wrong in the N1MM+ export. Since these are almost all people I have worked many times b4, its not a big deal. If I get time, I will just take them out and iry to input them again from a fresh adif export with the latest N1MM+. I wouldnt have brought it up except I saw the email that someone else was having similar problems. 73 Roger N3RC
