[Dx4win] Re: Recvd Block

[Alan Sewell]

Alan,

The easiest thing to do is simply open your ADIF file with a text 
editor.  Find the field you want to import into the RCVD block and do a 
search & replace on that field, replacing the ADIF field name with SRX.  
You can put any alphanumeric up to 4 characters in that field.

You can do this with any field into any block in DX4WIN.  Just go to the 
adif.org website Jim sited below to find out the needed ADIF field 
names.  If you don't get the expected results, just close DX4WIN without 
saving the log and start over.

I do this with almost every log I import.

73,
