Gary,

Nothing precludes you from running both full-time. I apologize if my
comments misled you.

VE7CC gives you full control over packet and lets DX4win do its thing -
fully. I think that asking DX4win to do all of the stuff that VE7CC does,
especially when the integration between the two programs is so slick, that
it would not make much sense to try to add all of those functions into
DX4win.

It is just my preference not to load DX4win all the time as it uses computer
resources - and for me, I know pretty much everything I need to work and
will recognize it when it shows up. I can fire up DX4win if I need to within
a few seconds. For example, SV2ASP/A that is being spotted by Europeans this
morning is one I need for sure.

The other nice part about the VE7CC software is that it connects to the
cluster automatically when you start it up and retrieves a load of recent
spots so you can quickly get a feel for what is going on around the bands.

73,

Bob W5OV

I appreciate several responses so far about getting rid of the bothersome
ANN/Fulls that come through the cluster. I am trying deleting the "to all de
*" string in Packet 2 and see if that does the trick. I really don't want to
run the VE7 software and only load DX4WIN when I need to log. I really like
the ability to be running one software package and do my logging and deal
with packet too. If DX4WIN is not running, you lose the best capability of
the software in my opinion, and that is the one click "spot grab" that loads
it into the log and tunes my rig to the right frequency. Since I am using a
computerized ALPHA 87A amp and computerized band switching, my whole station
moves to the right frequency with one click and all I have to do is start
talking or sending (actually, since all of that is either equipment or
computer controlled, I don't have to do that either  :-) , which is the way
I like it). 

 

So, I would really appreciate it if getting rid of the all the crap that
comes through the cluster, particularly during major dxpeditions, so I can
clearly see the spots through all the garbage that scrolls across the
screen, would be a real benefit. 

 

I guess I will have to ask a few buddies of mine to make ann/fulls (which my
DX club generally hates) and see if the changes suggested by Dick Flanagan
do the trick. 

 

Steve and Paul.. please do consider how to modify the program to provide
some flexibility in this area, and any other ideas on how to deal with it
given the newest versions would be greatly appreciated.
