[Dx4win] entering data

[Rick Graham]

If there's one single-most thing about DX4WIN that irritates me, it is the
entry method.

 

Lets day you are working a particular station. You proceed enter all the
pertinent data (name,qth, etc.). THEN you find out that he is either a
mobile or you have his call letters switched around. So, you re-enter his
callsign with either /M for mobile or physically change his call. ALL the
data is gone!

 

I can't tell you how many times I have had to re-ask the person for their
information after I had to make a change to their callsign. I can tell you
that listening to many DXPeditions, if they use this program, they would
have the same problem as I have heard them get all the information and then
get corrected for the callsign.

 

Am I missing something here?

 

And. Why doesn't DX4WIN use the preferences setup to signify what bands
modes that they work? I don't use CLOVER, PACKTOR, etc. It would be nice to
see these disappear from you choices on the entry screen.
