T88 used to be Western Carolines (KC6). The old Eastern Carolines (was also
KC6) became Micronesia (V6). They are correct in the DX4WIN v5.03 database.
Belau should be correct and replaced Western Carolines.
It is hard the first time to get all of this data correct since you are
trying to back into a solution. Save your log, then do a 5Band WAS
submittal, and print it, then fix anything that doesn't match. Same with
DXCC, although I suspect you would be better off just simply doing them one
by one from the sheet ARRL sends back after a submittal. You can get spots
directly from the net now, by simply configuring the RTTY screen for TCP/IP
and dowloading spots from OH2AQ or one of the telnet addresses included with
DX4WIN.
It has nothing to do with networking, although networking all of your
computers has some nice advantages. I use a common logfile from two
different networked computers, but am not sure which country file gets
updated when a change is made from differnet installations of DX4WIN. Maybe
someone else can comment on this as I don't want to get them out of sync.
The system supports a single radio now and is slightly cumbersome if you
want to use two different radios. The rigblaster is simply an interface.
DX4WIN includes a PSK plug in that will allow you to operate PSK31 but has
no provisions for RTTY.

Subject: [Dx4win] Questions??
Hi,
I am a new user to DX4WIN so I wanted to ask some questions before I got
myself into real trouble.
1. How do I add T88, Palau to my countries list, I don't think it's in
my version 5.03 and if it is when I try adding my T88AY it comes up with
the country of Belau, OC 009, I don't think this is correct?
2. Ok I have entered over 1,500 contacts that I have already got
confirmed and checked by the ARRL for credit on DXCC and 5 Band WAS and
now I want DX4WIN to show them all confirmed and credited for my awards
by the ARRL. What is the easiest way to do this, I do not want to loose
all the time I put into inputting everything in.
3. What is the easiest way to configure my system so I can use my Icom
IC 756 Pro II and my Kenwood TS 2000 with the program. I want to use my
rigblaster also. I have a P 166 MMX Hitachi Laptop and a Generic IBM
clone to use at my station and my desktop is currently hooked up to the
net, I am planning to network my computers eventually with my DSL
linksys router so I can take advantage of the dx spotting services on
the net.
Thanks for your time and consideration on these questions.
Best 73,
Eric N4HGZ
