[Dx4win] Packet spot order problem

Thu, 4 Apr 2002 12:14:34 -0500

First check your sort order:  Right click in the spots window and select
Sort -- If you select "Time", it will sort by date and time.
Unfortunately, some servers or users have an incorrect date or time set, so
you may see spots at the bottom of the list that have not yet occurred
(good for getting on a list before the DX station arrives...).  I just
manually delete them.

If you instead select "Arrival", you will be better off and not dependant
upon someone's date/time stamp accuracy.  Of course, if you have just
connected to the PacketCluster, and said, SH/DX/20, they will arrive with
the time out of sequence.  That's not a problem after you have been signed
on for a while.

By the way, if you select some other sequence, priority for example, and
you select "Delete old spots", it fails to properly delete the old spots
(programming problem).

If your transceiver is connected to DX4WIN, try selecting a sort on
"Frequency".  Now turn your frequency dial on your radio and watch the spot
window...

Just lately, I've noticed that the spots are not being ordered
properly. For example, this morning, the last spots listed were from
0500Z or so, and the 1300Z spots were being listed above that, out
of view, unless I scroll for them. Ideas?
Tnx,
Barry W2UP
