[Dxbase] 60 Meters

Thu Dec 3 21:16:37 EST 2015

Larry,
I don't think trying to change the Log Defaults in DXBase will work due to 
the channelized frequencies in the 60M band. There are no upper or lower 
band limits to indicate which mode should be logged based upon the VFO 
frequency.
However, I am not understanding your problem with your radio setting not 
being picked up by DXBase. Do you have the radio interfaced to DXBase via 
CAT? I have my computer connected to my microKEYER II via a USB connection 
and then the microKEYER II to the IC-7600 via a virtual port. With this 
setup DXBase logs whatever the radio operating mode is set to.
For instance with the radio set to USB and the frequency of 5357.0 (Channel 
3) when I log a call DXBase records the frequency as 5357.00 and the mode as 
USB. If I change the mode to CW and tune the VFO to 5358.5 (Channel 3 CW 
center frequency) and log a call DXBase records it as 5358.50 and the mode 
as CW. For PSK I change the mode back to USB set the frequency to 5357.0 
(Channel 3) and then in my PSK software (DXBase PSK) set the TX audio to 
1500. When I log a call then, from within DXBase PSK, it logs it as 5357.00 
with a Mode of DIGIT and a Submode of PSK31.
Note that this all happens without making any changes to the Log Defaults 
section in DXBase. If your radio is CAT controlled via a com port it should 
pick up the various modes directly from the radio.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to get DxBase to log 60 meter QSO's properly?
Every time log a QSO, DxBase says its "USB" even when the radio says "CW"?
