bandmodes.txt file missing

Gilbert Baron W0MN #211194 I have installed some of the apps on a laptop so I can use spot collector and DXKeeper and such. This is not my active log and I am using a separate log to prevent messing up my actual log. I get a message that bandmodes.txt is not installed so band and mode will not be displayed in spot collector. I cannot seem to find where to get that file. The message does say where it should be so I suppose I could dump it to a card and load it on this laptop but would like to know why I do not have it and how to get it. I am not trying to use the apps from 2 different machines for my actual station activity and my log database is not shared in any way except to copy it occasionally from a copy I have on OneDrive. My actual backup file is not on OneDrive, it is only local in order to prevent accidental destruction.

Gilbert Baron W0MN #211196 Yes, it was there. I accidently and not sure why or how I installed SC in the Launcher directory and goofed things up royally. Windows uninstall did the uninstall but left some registry entries that made it think it was still there and could only be update. Of course what I wanted was to get it in the correct file. I have not used REVO for a long time but I took the chance and it cleaned it all up , or at lest enough that I was able to reinstall to the correct directory. After that it no longer get the error message and the file was there. I WILL SAY THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS WITH YOUR MAIN SYSTEM. Especially if you have no recent image backup. The laptop is a machine for playing with while watching TV or other things and lots of other applications that I was not too worried about doing this so I tried it. I had a FAIR FAITH IN Revo AS HAD USED TI BEFOR WITH NO PROVBLEMS ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE. Again IN CASE SOEIS [AYING ATTENTION I SAY DO TO DO THIS O YOUR STAIO SYSTEM OR AT LEAST WITHOUT A RECENT BACKUP OF EVERYTHING. Thanks for your reply which led to the problem. By the way., MINNESOTA won Paul Bunyan's axe for the second year in a row. It sort of makes up for the strange year. 😊 Outlook LT Gil W0MN Hierro Candente Batir de Repente 44.08226 N 92.51265 W EN34rb toggle quoted messageShow quoted text -----Original Message----- From: DXLab@groups.io <DXLab@groups.io> On Behalf Of Dave AA6YQ Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2022 4:52 PM To: DXLab@groups.io Subject: Re: [DXLab] bandmodes.txt file missing + AA6YQ comments below I have installed some of the apps on a laptop so I can use spot collector and DXKeeper and such.

Dave Good advice. I think it has been over a coupe of years since I used it but this seems to have worked. For certain, do not do this without backups.

Gilbert Baron W0MN #211207 I understand the hesitation with Revo but it has never caused me a problem but I have used it only a few times as a last resort. I so think it is a Windows’ feature defect to not allow a function to remove all registry entries that were created by a particular application when uninstalling it. I do not consider it really uninstalled without that. I am not holding my breath for the appearance of such a faction though.
