I'm using IonoProbe 1.36 behind an Internet proxy that requires
authentication (user name and password).  I have two computers running
XP Pro (both with all updates) and IE 7 (latest version).  On one
computer IonoProbe is very happy grabbing the proxy settings from IE
and updates regularly.  The other (set up identically as far as I can
tell) will not update at all.  With either manual or automatic
updates, a red X in the lower right hand corner of the IonoProbe is
displayed almost immediately.  Other programs on the same computer
that are configured to use the IE proxy settings (such as DX Monitor)
work very well.

Does anyone have an idea what to check for at this point?  There are
hardware differences (one is a laptop and the other is an older HP
desktop), but the software (excluding hardware drivers of course)
should be the same.  But there could be some subtle configuration
somewhere that I haven't found (or is inaccessible).

Thanks for any help tracking this down.  It's driving me nuts!

I am using the K3 and the E-MU soundcard with the cw-skimmer. When
using the cw-skimmer the call signs are about 3 kc off freq. Is there a
way to correct this?

Don..w2xb

What mode are you using Skimmer in?

On the very first tab - Radio. I'm guessing that perhaps you are running in
3-KHz mode, using the audio from your radio.  Or are you somehow connecting
to the IF output of the radio in an effort to use it more as a panadaptor?

Ah, then take a look at the discussion of the softrock-if mode in the
Skimmer help file - particularly the part on setting the "audio if."

Hi Pete,
I will do that and let you know how I make out. Its strange. It was
working fb until I started playing around with Lp-Pan and the bridge
software. Tried uninstalling and doing it over. No Joy!

Do will let you know how I make out.


Thanks again my friend

Hello Group,
Fixed the problem with the skimmer and syncing with the rig. went into
the lp-bridge and looked at the if freq that it was reading for the K3.
Changed the audio IF freq in the skimmer a couple times (up/dwn) All
working fine now...birdge showed 3200 for the if, I put -3200 in the
skimmer and it worked....

Don..w2xb

I am also experiencing occassional freq errors and I suspect they are
caused by manually turning FT-1000 RX2 VFO dial.  However, high
percentage of accurate callsigns and frequencies detected make a lot
of fun to operate Skimmer on both FT1K RX 455 kHz IF.  I am looking
forward to EU DX contest this weekend.  Only rotor needs fixing
again :-(

Excuse me if I'm in the wrong place for this question.

I have a Vista laptop and went to dxatlas.com to try Faros and a
couple of related applications.  They won't start/run on my PC.  Is
this a known Vista incompatibility issue?  If so, is their an update
coming?  Thanks much.  If not, any advice?  Thanks.

Hi John,

Hi Alex

I've been using both DXAtlas and HamCAP for some time now. I find the
psuedo-colour display in HamCAP very easy to see where the propagation
is working or not, and I like the estimator for which propagation mode
(ie. 1F2, 2F2, F2F2 etc) is most likely along a given path.

My question is:

Would it be possible to incorporate the psued-colour display and the
prop. mode into DXAtlas?

Keep up the excellent work.

Regards

Chris

Hi Dan,

I actually bought AAlog.

I'm running Ionoprobe 1.36 and since 20:30 UTC on the 7 Aug I have not
received any aurora data, everyhing else seems to be working ok.

I have manually downloaded all the updates, current, recent and old
and it makes no difference.

Is anyone else having the same problem? As far as I'm aware none of my
settings have changed.

I did have an outage on the aurora data on the 5 Aug from 14:00 to
00:00 UTC but then it started working again.

Cheers

Dave,

Same here.
No Aurora data since August 7th.

Thanks for that Jim, at least it doesn't look like the problem is at
my end.

We'll just have to wait until it comes back on line.

Likewise, Aurora data missing lately.

There was a gap from about 12:00 August the 5th, but it came back that
night.

Late on the 6th it wet off again, coming back on at 00:00.

However late on the 7th it went away again and has not been seen since.

I'm guessing someone else's server broke...

There is nothing in any of the broadcast messages (day view) to indicate
any problems.

73.

I would also like to find those lists up-to-date There were quite some

Hello,

When in doubt, check the DX Atlas download page and see if a new database is
available.

The current database includes an up to date prefix list, the city and island
lists synchronized with the new prefix data, and a new dataset of time zones
and summer/winter time transitions for the world.

The IOTA list is not included with DX Atlas because it is a copyrighted
material, and at the time of publication I did not have a permission to use
it. I have such permission now, so the IOTA list will be included in the
next update, along with the WAP (Antarctic bases) list. Contact me privately
if you want a pre-release version of these new lists.

Hi,

everybody is working with Eterlogic Serial Port Splitter for cw-skimmer and
win-test ?

n1mm + cw-skimmer work well.

Win-Test however is continously jumping between VFO1 and VFO2 which is a
little bit annoying.

Anybody knows a workaround ?

No such QRG pass problems noted here Pete. I have seen the N1MM

Hi Toby,
I do not use WinTest so I cannot give a direct answer.  If you
suspect that the problem is with the Eterlogic VSPE then I suggest
that you go to their website where you will find a support forum.
Posting questions there always results in a very fast response. If
VSPE is the problem they will try to fix it.  Some bug fixes are
done within a few hours!

I have released DX Bulletin Reader, a tool for viewing, archiving, and
searching the DX news bulletins. This freeware program is available at
http://www.dxatlas.com/bullread/

Hello,
I am just trying to control my Kenwood TS-2000X with OmniRig from my
laptop using an USB/Serial converter. Display of TS2K shows "PC" to
indicate it is under PC control but it does not change frequency or
whatever. After some long time waiting there is actually a change in
frequency but then nothing again. Inspecting OmniRig.log I find a lot
of messages "RIG1 Status commands already in queue" .

Controling the TS2K via Ham Radio Deluxe works perfectly with the same
USB/Serial Converter. So to me it seems there is a timing problem
between OmniRig and the USB/Serial Converter.

I have also checked OmniRig with another PC having a 'native' COM port
working OK, so my basic settings in Radio configuration menu must be
correct.

Any ideas how I can "fine tune" settings, maybe "Poll int."?

Regards
Ernst, DK1VI

Hi Ernst,

Switch both RTS and DTR in the port settings to High, and see if this helps.

Hi Alex,
have tried all possible combinations of RTS and DTS w/o success :-((
Works well on other PC with both set to high.

Hello,
has anyone in the group generated a rig file for ICOM IC-R9000?

Is there any file available describing the basic structure of the ini
file. I have the special commands for the IC-R9000, but a line like
Value=5|5|vfBcdLU|1|0 is rather cryptic for me. Also the validate
string would need some explanation.

Thanks

Regards from Ernst, DK1VI

Alex, what a cool idea. Downloaded and installed.

I've been downloading and printing out several of these bulletins each
and every week (a thick 3-ring binder)... just think of all the trees
you have saved!

Question: Is there anyway to link BandMaster's country needed list
with the needed list in DX Bulletin Reader? I've looked at the list
files and they are not formatted exactly the same. Would be really
nice if I didn't have to keep these manually synchronized.

Kudos!

Jerry, KG6TT
