Still ZK2. Can someone send along the steps to change my DB from ZK2 to the new E6 prefix? I did a search in the archives but didn't find the answer. If it is there, I apologize in advance.

Message-ID: <000001d01ba4$8422e410$8c68ac30$@rr.com> I have been using the same version of DXBase for several years. It is DXBase 2007 Version 1.06 and it is on a Windows XP machine. It works great and I have seen no reason to change it. The other day, on a lark, I thought I would set up the CW memories so that I could send from DXBase. I have used Writelog for years and it sends CW very nicely using my Microham CW Keyer. I set it up and it seemed to work fine, seemed like it was a little flakey but nothing I could put my finger on. After a week or so I got an "out of memory" message from the computer. I leave DXBase running all the time and reboot seldom so I figured it needed to be rebooted. I did that and it worked OK but after a week or so I got the "out of memory" message again and this time it locked up the computer. I looked to see what I had running in the background and found nothing unusual. I am certainly not very knowledgeable about computers. I went in and reset the comport that I was using so that the CW memories wouldn't work and have had no further problems. This is not a big deal, I would seldom use the CW memories but I am a little curious if anyone else has run into this?

Running it on XP right now. Never had this issue either if you're wondering if the spots overload it. The only thing I notice is my log disappears occasionally but I can minimize it and bring it back up and there it is. Still loving DXB. Been a user since the very first version. I'm a challenged user too.

I notice that under User Options... the TNC tab has a setting for ?Max Packet Lines? ? mine says 1000. Also on the Internet tab the is a ?Max Packet Lines? box that is set to 500. I usually connect to VE7CC-1 for my spots and I guess I?ve always thought that these Max Packet Lines settings somehow limited how many spots were retained in memory or the DX Info window. In any case I?ve never experienced an out of memory error when connected to a cluster. 73, Gary AL9A From: Neal Campbell Sent: December 20, 2014 8:05 AM To: Bill Parry Cc: Gary AL9A ; DXbase Reflector Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Out of memory.
