Importing ADIF into DXKeeper


Herb Garcia <hpgarcia70@...>
 

I know I missed some QSOs when things broke between WSJTX and DXKeeper. Can I import my entire ADIF file from WSJTX into DXKeeper?

+ You can, but you must enable "Check duplicates on import" in the "Duplicate checking" panel on DXKeeper's Main window's "Log QSOs" tab, or you'll end up with a log full of duplicated K1JT-mode QSOs. See

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Import.htm#Duplicate_Checking

+ When you enable "Check duplicates on import", each imported QSO must be checked to see if it duplicates any QSO in your log; the time required is thus proportional to the product of the number of QSOs in your log and the number of QSOs in the file being imported.

+ Before you initiate the Import operation, I strongly suggest that you backup your log (Configuration window, Log tab, Backup button); this will make recovery easy if the operation doesn't go as expected.

+ After your recovery of missing QSOs is complete, disable "Check duplicates on import" on the Main window's "Import QSOs" tab.

I noticed under spotcollector "spot sources" tab.

Under the "WJST-X" the enable check box sometimes it becomes unchecked.

I noticed under spotcollector "spot sources" tab.

Under the "WJST-X" the enable check box sometimes it becomes unchecked.

# SpotCollector does not uncheck the Enable box in the WSJT-X panel on the Configuration window's "Spot Sources" tab without displaying an explanation in a small window whose title is "SpotCollector Interoperation with WSJT-X"; this window is displayed "on top" of all other windows so that you'll be sure to see it. Did this window appear?

# Have you used the DXLab Launcher to create a Workspace? If so, was this Workspace created when the Enable box in the WSJT-X panel on SpotCollector's Configuration window's "Spot Sources" tab was checked when SpotCollector was last running?

# Is there an errorlog.txt and/or SC_WSJTX_Errorlog file in your SpotCollector folder? If so, please attach them to an email message, and send them to me via
