[Dxbase] Logging from Hamscope ver 1.56

Fri Feb 6 19:09:42 EST 2009

Thanks, Joe. It works.
I am running XP on my laptop. Guess it is the same way for PCs with Vista,
W2000....
A wise man told me once: The solution is almost always simpler than you
think...

Knut,
After thinking about your situation there a bit more, I think
that the European style of using a COMMA instead of a PERIOD
is causing the problem for you.
I just confirmed that YES!! it is the European style of the
DECIMAL being the COMMA instead of the PERIOD ...
You need to go into your computer's CONTROL PANEL
and under Regional and Language Options
go into the Customize
and make the "decimal" indicator a PERIOD ..
then you will be all ok ...
I am not sure WHY Hamscope is programmed this way!! It
makes it very difficult for the European oprs.
This adjustment will solve your problem Knut.
