[DXBase] Enhancement for future release

2002年12月04日 16:39:13 +0100

As an old-time DXer, and DXbase fan, I am disappointed by the lack of
complete and accurate
information about DXCC country status in the Summary Window. In this
window the country
status (Worked, Confirmed or *=Not Worked) is displayed neatly by bands
in a matrix for the
Phone, CW and Digital modes.
I proposed (privately) time ago the addition of a fourth line for Mixed
(besides CW, Phone and Digital),
since the validity in time of QSOs for Mixed differs from that for
CW+PHONE (i.e. since CW
started later, some band/countries are currently displayed as missing
for CW, but they can be actually
worked or even confirmed for Mixed!).
At the time, the answer from the developers was that the status for
Mixed is shown in the Status Bar.
This is however unsatisfactory, since:
i)it is by far not as convenient as seeing the overall situation at a
glance in the Summary window;
ii) those with a small screen may choose not to display the Status bar
(as I do)
iii) The DXCC situation is anyway not presented in the Status bar for
all bands, as it could and should
be in the Summary window.
A product of this quality - which I love as many others - cannot have
such a shortcomig.
I hope to find support for correcting what is basically a logical flaw.
Please do something, at least for the next release, for those working
seriously - and since quite
some time -the DXCC programme!
Best regards and 73,
