Charlie, Good catch OM, but your analysis is incorrect. The .MLT file has an error. If you look at the CALCTY.MLT file (which contains the multipliers for non-CA entries) you find that the Alpine Cou
Rob, I'm afraid I don't have an explanation for you. When I test log a MARP QSO here, it works fine, both with 10.59 and the recent 10.61, and also with both the old and new CALCTY.MLT files. (The ab
Rob, The different files are needed because CQP multipliers are different for CA and non-CA stations. The particular file NA uses is selected in the Contest Rules Template (.CRT) file for the contest

Dick, That's "four oscar one alpha", right? I happen to have 10.62 on this computer, and with the latest country file off k1ea.com, the program identifies this as Serbia (Yugoslavia). Is this not cor
Rob, The PIEXX930 option is for the Piexx board which goes into a TS-930. Operationally, it looks like a TS940 to the computer, but since the computer cannot control the mode in a '930, this option m
All: Based on Steve's note, I went and checked out K1NU.com and the interfaces he offers. Doing rig control and CW keying on a single port is pretty straight forward, as the rig control uses the COM
Bill, The easiest thing to do (and indeed it is pretty simple) is to adjust a setting in the Pro III to make the computer think its a different model radio. Let me explain. ICOM sets up the transceiv
Dick, Which version of the county file are you using? Is this the 1802 version which Jim recently made available? I'm getting on a plane to KP2 for WPX phone in less than 14 hours, so I may not be ab
Dick, K9OM, et al: Greetings from St.Croix! I've looked into the problems you were having when working with NA country files and I believe I've found the solution. Shortly after arriving down here, I
NA Users: A bug has been reported be several NA users where the program will crash if the minus key is used to set the split frequency of a radio being computer controlled. We believe that this bug c
Bob, Can you try another port on the same computer? The most likely cause is hardware failure on the port. Sometimes, it doesn't take a lightning hit to do damage. We fired up for Michigan QSO Party
Peg, You can simply enter the CQ zone for DX stations and NA will score correctly. Because of the wide variation of what people might log in the location field, NA has never tried to interpret a coun

Mark, I used to own a TS-850, and never had any trouble making it work with NA. If I recall correctly, a TS-850 is one stop bit. in which case you want the KENWOOD1 radio choice. I seem to recall hav
Jim, Here are some suggestions: * A COM port (whether 25 or 9 pins) always has FEMALE pins on the computer's connector. If the connector has male pins, it's an LPT. * COM port cables come in two vari
After reading Tim's note, I realized that I had the connector descriptions reversed in my previous e-mail. I was describing the mating connectors but referring to them being on the computer itself. T
Ted, Modifying the mult file is only half (the easy half) of what is necessary to support the new 10M Contest rules. The NA program itself must be modified to treat Mexico as a non-country (similar t
