Hi OM's,
before I start buying DXB 2003 some questions whether problems I had with
DXB 2000 are fixed in DXB 2003.
I still using DXB 5.0 (DOS-version)...
1) import in 2000 with ADIF from 5.0
- I lost all my 2m qso's: BAND ERROR
- I lost all info on qso's invalid for DXCC (all were valid after import!)
- I lost all qso's submitted to ARRL (none of the 500+ I sent were marked in
AWARDS-field)
- All stateside qso's had ITU Zone 06
- first choice qso for an award (marked with *) are also
lost.
2) in DXB 2000
- if I changed State for example from NY to TX, CQ Zone didn't change from
05 to 04, even I tried "compute Zones
- I changed States and counties sheet, were all ITU Zones were 06! (even
Hawaii which is 61). But even this didn't helped.
- entering a new US call shows the same. If a K6 says he
is in CT, DXBASE can't know this.
It sets CQ 04 and ITU 06 fom Prefix sheet.
But if I change the state to CT it should use the settings from the states
and counties sheet and change it to
CQ 05 and ITU 08.
I know a long list, but if it's solved in DXB2003 means hours
of working to change the log can be used to be on the radio!
