[Dxbase] Adding info to the database

[Eric - VE3GSI]

Hi Peter,

Try this, using the DXB Wizard, export the Q's for the date range you wish
to change as an ADIF file. Using Notepad as the editor, search and replace:

<EOR>

with 

<TX_PWR:4>1500 <EOR>

Now import the edited ADIF file back into DXB again.

I use the above to add power to my imported contest files all the time. Not
sure why it would not work with the date range your wish to change. --- I am
sure you will back up your data file before experimenting.
