DX Keeper tx band not showing regular bands
|
Grover Cleveland <k7tp@...>
I'm seeing 1, 4, 118, 8 etc.
Have I misconfigured? |

Additional info: where is the DXKeeper log page display configuration supposed to be saved? I think that the location somehow became
C:\Program Files (x86)\DXKeeper\Databases\DefaultBands.txt and that seems very wrong. |

Additional info: where is the DXKeeper log page display configuration supposed to be saved? + You can configure DXKeeper to save it wherever you like. I think that the location somehow became C:\Program Files (x86)\DXKeeper\Databases\DefaultBands.txt and that seems very wrong. + That would overwrite the file used to specify the bands that DXKeeper supports. You can obtain a replacement from <www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/DefaultBands.txt> + To recover 1. In the "Log Page Display " panel on the Configuration window's Log file change the pathname specified in the "Log Page Display layout file" box. Consider creating a LogLayouts sub-folder in your DXKeeper folder to maintain your Log Page Display layouts. 2. Terminate DXKeeper 3. Download the replacement DefaultBands.txt file into DXKeeper's Databases folder (replacing the existing file with that name) 4. Start DXKeeper; are DXKeeper's Band selectors now correctly populated? + You might check the Windows Event Logs to see if a hardware or software error occurred around the time that you first noticed that the Band Selectors were no longer displaying correct choices, as this indicates a failure in the Windows Registry (where DXKeeper stores its settings.) 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

Dave,
Copied the DefaultBands from the web and pasted it into a new text file "DefaultBands.text" then placed that into the DXKeeper/Database - C:\Program Files (x86)\DXKeeper\Databases DxKeeper still shows the old numbers (incorrect) after a reboot. Grover |

No. I deleted the old and put the new one in place.

Is this possibly a problem with K7TP placing his DXLab files in the protected X86 program directory instead of the recommended C:DXLab folder? And/or what user permissions he is logged in with?

I think it will be easier if I remove the software and reinstall, saving my log and setting files of course. I'll report back.

Did you check the Windows event logs? 73, |

Dave,
I did in fact do a complete re-install of all the applications, before I saw your message, and it did solve all the problems with DXKeeper. One slight remaining issue is not of major concern; DXView is currently at 2.6.8 but launcher won't update to 4.75 (just a slight flash of a window). Other than that, all is hunky-dory and thanks for your help. Grover K7TP |

No joy.

No joy. + Please do the following: 1. on the Launcher's Configuration window, check the "Log debugging info" box 2. direct the Launcher to upgrade DXView 3. on the Launcher's Configuration window, uncheck the "Log debugging info" box 4. attach the errorlog.txt file to an email message, and send the message to me via aa6yq (at) ambersoft.com 73, Dave, AA6YQ |
