[Dx4win] F8 Lookup Specific QSO by Callsign

Mon Nov 13 17:24:40 EST 2017

I am having problems with searching today as well.  I just worked J5T on 20M RTTY.  I have updated the QSO and it shows in the logbook.  I double click on the entry in logbook to reopen the QSO.  When the J5T 20M RTTY QSO is showing again in the entry window, I double click on the Country window for J5 in the box for 20M/Digital -- expecting to see all J5 contacts made on 20M RTTY.  All of the previous ones show, but the new one that I just made does not show up.  If I click just on the 20M box heading in the country window, the new RTTY QSO shows along with all other previous 20M contacts made in all modes.

The same thing goes when I click on the 15M CW box in the country window.  I had an earlier QSO with J5T on 15M CW today, but it does not show up if I click on the 15M/CW box in the country window.  It does show up if I just click on the 15M heading which brings up all QSOs made with J5 on 15M.

So something is wrong with the mode filter in the country window.  This just started with 9.01 or 9.02.  It used to work just fine.

73,

Dave, N4QS

Theo,

F8 is supposed to work as in older versions.

Using Alt-F8 you can specify a mode group; to search for any digital mode for example you can specify DIG for the mode.
