DXKeeper 4.1.2 Defect Repairs - correctly handles confirmations in the VUCC progress and submission reports (tnx Dianna, KB6NAN) - the Capture window's Lookup button should perform a Callbook lookup even if the "automatically use Callbook Data to initialize new QSOs" box (Config window, Callbook tab) is unchecked - provide the information WinWarbler needs to determine whether it should update its QSO Info with previous QSO and Callbook information requested when the user double-clicked on a spot - correctly extract information containing non-US characters from the HamCall callbook (tnx Joe K4IK) - refuse to log a QSO in the Main window whose callsign cannot be mapped to a DXCC entity - correctly computes the grid square for HamCall lookups that provide a latitude and longitude but no grid square; ALT-CBA now clears the grid square of any QSO in the Log Page Display that contains an incorrectly-computed grid square due to this defect, but be sure to make a log backup before doing this! (tnx Joe K4IJ) - SSTV QSOs are properly included in the WAZ report (tnx to Jose N4BAA) - ignores information returned from the QRZ callbook that doesn't match the specified callsign; e.g. when searching for information for LU/AA6YQ, ignore the results given for AA6YQ (tnx John NA8M) - doesn’t report an error when HamCall returns an unexpectedly large amount of data for a callsign (tnx Juergen DL8LE) - after startup, selecting 2-column labels on the Main window's QSL tab now shows the Create Address File and Address Labels buttons; previously, this didn’t work (tnx Joe K4IK) - tolerates erroneous HamCall latitudes and longitudes - no longer reports a conflict between LotW-downloaded and logged counties if the logged county doesn't include the state but the logged state matches the state in the downloaded county (tnx Bob W2SR) - when a modified QSO is saved (logged) because some operation is initiated or because another QSO is selected, clears the modified QSO's "broken" indicator before saving it - if an exclamation point is placed in front of a logged QSO's callsign, marking at as "ignored", recomputes awards progress for the QSO's DXCC entity if appropriate - corrects a defect that truncated the Main window's Filter panel caption after certain sequences of operations - if a DDE "log" or "log_via_eQSL" command arrives before a previous DDE log command has completed, wait until the first command completes before proceeding (tnx to Patrick F6CTE) Enhancements - letting the mouse cursor hover over the DXCC prefix in the Capture window, displays a popup window containing the name of the DXCC entity (tnx Angelo IT9FCP) - shifts the Default Operator callsign to upper case as its entered (tnx Ken K4XL) - enlarges the Capture window's IOTA item (tnx Art K4DDJ) - if the Advanced window's Modify QSOs function is used to modify QSL Rcvd or LotW QSL Rcvd items, notifies the user that award progress may have been impacted and offer to invoke the Recompute function - when directed to perform a "new entry" operation by DXKeeper (which DXKeeper performs when one double-clicks on a Spot), make the results the previous QSO and Callbook lookup operations available to WinWarbler - allow a QSO’s QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd items to be set to S, meaning “submit to the ARRL’s DXCC desk” - clicking the DXCC Submission button on the Main window’s Check Progress tab display the DXKeeper DXCC Submission window, which provides a set of functions that assemble a DXCC Submission -- a set of confirmed but unverified QSOs to be submitted to the ARRL's DXCC desk -- and generate the required DXCC Record Sheet to accompany your award application. A QSO is considered to be included in your DXCC Submission if either its QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd items are set to S. You can manually add a QSO to your DXCC Submission by setting either of these items to S using the Main window's QSO panel or Online QSO panel. (tnx Joe KC2TN, Dennis WB0WA0, and Edgar N6OU) * the Assemble Submission function automatically expands your DXCC Submission to include the minimal set of confirmed QSOs whose verification would advance your DXCC progress on the bands and modes selected in the DXCC/Top Bands & Modes panel, choosing between QSL cards and LotW credits as directed by settings in the new DXCC Submission panel on the Config window’s Awards tab (tnx to Joe K4IK for his help in developing an algorithm that selects the minimal set of confirmed QSOs) * the View Submission function applies a filter to the Log Page Display so that only those QSOs whose QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd items are set to 'S' remain visible; depressing the CTRL key while invoking this function displays all QSOs in the log whose QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd items are set to S * the Create Planning Report function generates a report showing all QSOs visible in the Log Page Display whose QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd items are set to 'S', sorted by DXCC entity and showing what the QSO verifies: entity, band, and/or mode, and whether a QSL card or LotW credit is being submitted; this report also shows the total number of QSL cards and LotW credits the portion of the DXCC Submission visible in the Log Page Display. * the Create Card Record Sheet function generates a DXCC Record Sheet report showing all QSOs visible in the Log Page Display whose QSL_Rcvd item is S, sorted by band and mode as specified by the DXCC desk. * the Create LotW Record Sheet function generates an LotW Record Sheet report showing all QSOs visible in the Log Page Display whose LotW_Rcvd item is S, sorted by entity, band, and mode to assist you in selecting credits on the LotW web site. * the Verify Submission function updates your log to reflect verification of your DXCC Submission by the ARRL's DXCC desk: for all QSOs visible in the Log Page Display , if a QSO's QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd item is currently S it is changed to V. * the Reset Submission function performs an "undo" operation on your DXCC Submission ; for all QSOs visible in the Log Page Display, if a QSO's QSL_Rcvd or LotW_Rcvd item is currently S it is changed to Y. - display Entity progress in the Award Progress grid on Main window's Check Progress tab - CTRL-U in the Main window's Filter textbox invokes the UTC filter (tnx Matt ON5KL) - when responding to a double-clicked spot database entry in DXKeeper, provides “last QSO info” for WinWarbler’s display - when performing a "lookup" for WinWarbler, determines the CQ and ITU zones from the state or province if they were not determined from previous QSOs - sets up Capture window fields to track new WinWarbler QSO Info fields - accepts directive from WinWarbler to initialize the Capture window's myQTHID if its not already set (tnx Juergen DL8LE) - the Capture window Clear function should not clear the Capture window's TX# item if Contest mode is enabled (tnx Juergen DL8LE) - on startup, if WinWarbler is running, sets its Contest Mode checkbox to match WinWarbler's Contest Mode checkbox (tnx Juergen DL8LE) - the DXCC/VUCC progress reports are subject to the Log Page Display filter (tnx Ken K4XL) - improve Award Progress filtering by providing an Award Progress Filter panel (Main window, Check Progress tab) with separate band and mode selectors (tnx Ken K4XL) - provides the ability to generate a DXCC Progress report based on the Award Progress Filter panel settings – click Report in the new Award Progress Filter panel (tnx Ken K4XL) - on the Config window's Contest tab, the TX Serial# textbox should follow changes to the TX# textbox in WinWarbler's QSO Info panel if WinWarbler is running (tnx to Juergen DL8LE) - provides an End button in the Capture window to record and display the QSO end time, mark the QSO as ended; and display the Begin button (tnx Andrew VE7UM) - when downloading LotW QSLs, report new confirmations of previously unconfirmed entities, entity-modes, or entity-bands; previously, DXKeeper reported confirmations of unverified entities, entity-modes, or entity-bands (tnx Rich VE3IAY and Andrew VE7UM) - when downloading LotW QSLs, ignore CQ zones and/or ITU zones that are inconsistent with the DXCC entity (tnx Rich VE3IAY and Joe K4IK) - letting the mouse cursor hover over a State or Province item in the Main or Capture window will display an explanatory popup bearing the full name of the state or province (tnx Jean-Claude PJ2BVU) - if the Modify QSOs function is used to change the DXCC Prefix of all QSOs in the Log Page Display, it will also change the Country Code of these QSOs to the matching value; Conversely, if the Modify QSOs function is used to change the Country Code of all QSOs in the Log Page Display, it will also change the DXCC Prefix of these QSOs to the matching value (tnx Stan N3KK) - provide the ability to specify a expiration interval for outstanding QSO cards in the Config window's Awards tab (DXCC/Top panel); if an expiration interval is specified, the Card Aging report offers to set QSL_Rcvd and LotW_Rcvd to 'X' for any QSO whose confirmation has not occurred within the specified interval (tnx Bill GM0VIT) - the "include eQSL.cc ..." box on the Config window's Awards tab now applies to the VUCC Progress and Submission - provides an "include LotW..." box on the Config window's Awards tab that determines whether LotW confirmations are considered in the VUCC, WAS, and WAC reports; this setting defaults to "enabled" for consistency with previous versions (tnx Jim K9YC) - extract the QSL Manager from Callbook lookup results (tnx Art K4DDJ) - doesn't automatically set an RST sent/rcvd field to 59/599 if a report has already been specified (tnx to John NA8M) - enhances the Fix Scripts (tnx to Joe K4IK) * Added DA (Germany) * Added KZ5 (Canal Zone) * Added ST0 (Southern Sudan) * Added ZS9 (Walvis Bay) * Added ZS0 (Penguin Island) - updates the Configuration.htm, Log.htm, Progress.htm, QSL.htm, Items.htm, and KeyboardShortcuts.htm online documentation files DXKeeper 4.1.2 is available via http://www.qsl.net/dxlab/download.htm or via this reflector’s Files area. 73, Dave, AA6YQ
