[Dx4win] Ver 6.01 problems INTERNET LOOKUP

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 07:11:07 -0000

Hi Larry and Others,

((You probably didn't read my messages I sended during the Betatests
Larry.))

The Internet lookup works OK if you understand the LOGIC

My Enabled Internet setup lines are
Callsign lookup address
http://www.qrz.com/detail/
QSL manager lookup address
http://www.ik3qar.it/manager/man_result.asp?call=

When you are in the logging WINDOW.

1. When you are in the "Callsign field" and push F3 the program will try to
find a MANAGER for that call.
2. The "Callsign / Mgr lookup" window pops up and you get the data if
available from the CDROM - (GO         LIST ?) or not found.
3.When you like to check also on INTERNET NOW push the "ENTER" button, and
your browser will start     and gives you the details if they are available.
4.@ this moment the second URL will be checked

5. When you are in the "QSL Mgr field" and hit F3 the "Callsign / Mgr
lookup" window pops and will try to         find the address for this
MANAGER. You get this data from the CDROM - (GO LIST ?) or not
found. You see on the POP-UP window that the call is MOVED to "QSL Mgr" When
you like to check         also on INTERNET . CLICK FIRST IN THIS FIELD and
then push the "ENTER" button,
    your browser will start and gives you the details if they are available
FROM the FIRST URL.
