[DXLog.net - Support] Problems Found This Weekend

[9A5K]

Hi Dave.

Yep, we still don't checking for QSX in the comments of dxspots... this
will be added.

Thanks for the info about voice recorder crash.. I suppose this happens
with Sound board as voice keyer.
It will be fixed ASAP..

Band editor is now available as of v2.0.23... please check right click on
bandmap -> Properties..
Bandmap editor is available at the bottom of the screen.
It could be some problem with mode detection in 160m bandplan definition. I
suppose that mode is detected as CW, or something
else but not SSB.. and it is the reason why spot isn't added in bandmap,
because this is single mode contest and only
SSB spots will be visible..

Maybe this is the problem with split mode in K3 too.. Do you have some
example with exact freqeuncies so I can check it here?

Other things will be checked...

Summary files creation will be added in next release.

73,
Chris - 9A5K
