[Dx4win] Re: Recvd Block

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I can enter any letters or digits in the DX4WIN "Recvd" field and the 
QSO will save OK.

I can see about adding the received power into a note or comment ADIF 
field, which DX4WIN can import into the QSO notes field.  I will 
probably make this optional. with a command-line switch or check box.

It could be power but you can not enter K or KW for power as it will generate an error. Depending on your selection for error handling on import, the normal error handling is to stop the import.
