[Dx4win] Importing JT65

Tue Aug 23 23:55:57 EDT 2016

Hi Dave,

Glad you got it done!

I had thought of ADIF Master but didn't know for sure that it could do what you wanted :)  Good to know it can!

Just FYI, in NotePad if you surround the file name with double quotes, it will save the file with exactly that name you specify so you'll need to include the file extension like "filename.adi" and it will NOT add the .txt extension.

John,

Your suggestion solved the problem.  I downloaded and ran ADIF Master.
Opened wsjtx_log.adi and left clicked on the header "Comment".  That brought
up a pull down list of header names.  I selected Notes and the header was
changed to Notes.  I saved the file and then imported it into DX4WIN.  The
comment information now went into the Notes for this QSO field instead of
the Notes for this Call field.  This is better than having to change 195
QSOs by hand.

Now if we could just solve the JT9 issue.  Hi, hi

Thanks to Jim, Lee and John for the assistance.

73,

Dave, N4QS

Hi Dave, try using ADIF Master as your editor.

Cheers

Ernie, Jim and Lee,

All three of you suggested that I open the wsjtx.adi file with a text editor
and then do a find/replace to change the comments tag to notes.  That works
fine.  But the modified file gets saved as a text file and not an adi file.
How do I save the modified file with an adi extention?

Thanks.

Dave, N4QS

Dave, I have been seeking a resolution to this for five years, and no one
can help. So if you do come across a fix, be sure to post it for me.

It is just another of my great disappointments with DX4Win as a modern
logger. It was great in 2005, but is far behind now-and the author very
obviously has jumped ship.

What I do, in a long winded away of 'fixing' this issue, is to do a
'Edit/Replace/(Find what) Comment/ (Replace with) Notes/Replace All' on
every ADI file I have to import into DX4Win and that does the trick. But it
is NOT state of the art.

Good DXing - stay safe and healthy.

I am trying to import the wsjtx.adi file into DX4WIN.  However, the comments
field from WSJT-X (which contains the signal reports in db format) is being
put into the Notes for the Call field in DX4WIN instead of the Notes for the
QSO field.  I have even tried using Jim's ADIF to DX4WIN utility, but the
comments always go into the Notes for the Call field.

Does anyone know how I can change the mapping for the import so that the
Comments from the ADIF file go into the Notes for this QSO field?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Dave, N4QS

BTW, I sure wish DX4WIN supported JT9 as a mode.  That is another whole can
of worms to try to work around.  It would also be nice if DX4WIN interfaced
with JTAlert so that QSOs made in WSJT-X were automatically entered into
DX4WIN.  Activity for weak signal modes is booming these days.
