[Dxbase] Joe wa6axe's BRIDGES and the European computer users - problem solved!!!!!

[Joseph Glockner]

For many years, I have always wondered why some of the European computer
users of DXbase2007 - could NOT use my BRIDGES successfully!!


Now - Eric (ON7RN) -- has SOLVED the answer to that question..


Here are the words I just rcvd from Eric:

GM Joe,
      
      Well, the tests are running very good. Your bridge is functional      here (as said yesterday).
      I was talking with one of my friend (ON5PV) who is also a DXBase      user, and he tried your bridge without success. So, I have had a      look at my config and see that I had also installed the keyboard      English version (US version). But I continue to use my french      keyboard without problem (he is as default).
      Phil, ON5PV, checked his config. No US keyboard installed. He has      installed the US keybaord and ....... your bridge was working also      by him. And (see attachment) look at the config I put on DXBase.      That's for the people using the new FT8 mode. I have no problem      with this options even if I work in PSK31.
      So, for the european users of DXBase, they must install the US      keyboard but they can continue to use their proper keyboard (for      the french one - "Belgium one", no problem : your bridge works      very well).
      
      So, it's maybe a solution for the european guys who are using      DXBase.
      
      That's my piece of cake !! HI.
      
      Don't know now if it will be working with the others. They must      try.
      
      That is the latest news I can give you on my tests.
      
      Have a good day,

Installing the US Keyboard is the was to solve the problem.
