UDP Gateway for logging from DM780 to DXKeeper
==============================================

Compilation history:  

1. November 2008, Version  2.0.0.4
Improved version avoiding DDE Errormessager.



Installation
------------

dm780_dxk_gw_02.exe = compiled executable file. Install this program where suitable on your PC.
Alternatively you use the "UDP Gateway DM780 to DXKeeper.msi" installation package in this zip-file.

DxKeeper must be up and running before gateway is started - 
in order to allow the gateway to establish DDE communication 
to DX Keeper. The Gateway software starts minimized. 

DM780 must be configured in the following way:
- Go to logbook options
- select the sheet QSO Forwarding
- Activate the UDP checkbox
- Fill in the address 127.0.0.1  (assuming the gateway software being installed on the same PC as DM780)
- Fill in the port 2235 which is the default UDP port the gateway software initialises on

Thats all !

Which Datafields are transferred from DM780 to DXKeeper ?
----------------------------------------------------------
The current version of the program transfers/forwards a COMPLETE ADIF record to DXKeeper,
including Contest and contest serials. In DM780 log entry the State/prov is forwarded to the 
ADIF Primary Administrative Subdivision (=State field in DXK database) and the County is forwarded to the
ADIF Secondary Administrative Subdivision (= CNTY datafield in DXKeeper database)
EXCEPTION:  
WHEN YOU ENTER A QSO WITH A GERMAN STATION IN DM780 AND YOU FILL IN A DOK FOR THIS QSO IN THE COUNTY FIELD, THE
DOK WILL ACTUALLY BE FORWARDED TO THE DOK DATAFIELD IN DXKEEPER !


Package Content:
----------------

The zip-file includes besides this readme.txt the following files:

- dm780_dxk_gw.vbp   (VB6 project file)
- dm780_dxk_gw.vbw
- frmMain.frm
- frmMain.frx
- dm780_dxk_gw.ico
- dm780_dxk_gw_02.exe  (executable)
- UDP Gateway DM780 to DXKeeper.msi  (installation package)

If you intend further developping the gateway software, copy those 5 files to
an own directory and you can open UDPChat.vbp in Visual Basic 6.


Good luck ...
Comments and improvements are always very welcome.
