DXKeeper and VarAC

Irad, will you like Dave wrote in https://groups.io/g/DXLab/message/207711

add this to VarAC.

This way everything is automatically written in DXKeeper and also that if you select a Callsign in VarAC, DXKeeper is automatically looked at and all the relevant QSOs of that Call are visible in DXKeeper.

Now we have to do this manually and it can also be done automatically by VarAC.

There are several DXKeeper users who use VarAC and would appreciate it.

Hi Pat.

I have made progress. now signaling these flags when uploading.:

<UploadeQSL:1>Y<UploadLoTW:1>Y<UploadClubLog:1>Y<DeduceMissing:1>Y<QueryCallbook:1>Y<UpdateeQSL:1>Y<UpdateLoTW:1>Y<CheckOverrides:1>Y

AS for power, as VArAC still does not have a place where you enter power, I can not send it to dxkeeper.

As for triggering automatic "filter QSOs from ...", I have consulted Dave (creator of DXKeeper). he said there is an old mechanism for this (DDE) but he is now replacing it with a FLAG in an ADIF upload (like the those I shared above) so he will release a version soon and advise me to use the new method so to wait for a week or so until he release it.

As for the flags I mentioned above - please let me know if they are fine.

the clublog for example pop up a screen that says that I have no clublog registered so it might be annoying

Hi Irad,

This already looks promising, but anything related to eQSO, LOTW and Clublog should NOT be uploaded directly to them.

Their boxes should only contain "R" for Request.

the upload to eQSL, LOTW and Clublog can be configured via DXKeeper via:

Config / QSL Config /eQSL, LoTW or Club Log.

And about the Power:

add a field for the PWR in the main page of VarAC or add a PWR in the menu Rig control and VARA configurations.

Then the PWR can be included in the ADIF file and forwarded to the Logbooks

Then also like to use the Commander to deploy it.

And also the "HRD commander"

Thank you Irad for the nice work

Thank you Pat.

Can you make a short lists of the things you want me to send out/activate with DXKeeper by default for every QSO I log ?

Not sure I know all the things you have in mind. like what other fields ? what other callouts ?

Hi Irad,

As you can see in the videos, if I have a Callsign in the CALLSIGN box (log from VarAC) then it doesn't pass to the Filter box of DXKeeper (DXK).

Once this is included I would have to show all the QSO's (in any mode or band) in DXK but this happens automatically as you can see in the video.

For DXKeeper this would already be a big improvement.

If I save the QSO Automatically or manually in VarAC then this should also happen in DXKeeper which is already happening, but the Power, the address should also be filled in as can be clearly seen in the videos.

Also the box via which displays the QSL route with info from the selected Callbooks in Config/Callbook panel.

Maybe if you can achieve this then we are as far as we are.

Then please also use the Commander and possibly the Ham Radio Deluxe "commander" instead of the OmniRig, or the Transceiver own interface.

Because there is already demand for it from various users.

I hope to have given some clarity regarding my many wishes hi...

Did a QSO yesterday with:

PY1SAD at 15M at 15:22 UTC -10 him and me -13 - 9,374.95 Km

But in the CALLSING box, the following Callsign kept popping up:

ZZ1M/PY1SAD/P

But QSO is OK

Then again at 30M with DK1QG 16:52 UTC -01 he +02 i. 431.94 Km

Sorry for the lot of work I give you.

Hi Pat.

Hi Irad,

Thanks you for add some utility's from DXKeeper to VarAC.

I have create two movie's so you can see what are my mind of add for DXKeeper.

(I had to reorganize my programs from two screens to only one, but all what need is visible)

1-QSO-In-DXK.mp4

This movie will let you seen that when I click on a Callsign this callsign also move to DXK and now I will see all the QSO's I have done with this specific QSO.

2-QSO-Saved.mpg

This movie will let you see then when I have save that QSO in JTDX it's also save it in DXKeeper and fill in all the other fields like you can see.

But I think that when you have problems with this all Dave the author of DXLab Suite can help you fuhrter.

Many thanks again Irad.
