[Dx4win] any upgrades?

[Courtney Judd]

well, I pretty much agree with all of you that DX4WIN is a great program 
and I have been a user since it first came out and have over 160K qso's 
in the log. I have it running over two 24 inch monitors with MMTTY, 
winKeyer, cluster running and it works great.... what ever band or spot 
I see i can jump there to what ever band/mode I want. Now comes FT8 and 
WSJT. To run it I have to save DX4WIN, close it, max microKeyer3 router 
and change settings for FT8, then open WSJT. Now I am blind to all the 
other activity going on the bands. I want to be able to run DX4WIN and 
WSJT  together with out any rig control arguments. All the other logging 
programs that I have been looking at on line have this ability so I 
think that this should be made available so that DX4WIN is on par with 
other programs. Yes, I don't want to change and have to go thru all the 
work of getting a new program to play nice with all my stuff, but looks 
like I don't have any other option. Hope this clarifies what I want to 
accomplish.... thanks, 73's Cort K4WI
