You may remember we spoke recently about our op to S79K ? Well, some of our ops had already made the upgrade to V4; others didn’t, but we all upgraded before the event. We obviously made sure then that each PC had the same version, usual precautions.. We had 4 PC’s with us; 3 were hooked up at any time; and we had NO PC Hassles. Was a very smooth transition. OK, there are a couple of new features, but everything is where you would expect it to be.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Of course, CW operation is a little more intensive.

Version 3 is no longer supported (no more fixes being planned).<br><br>There were no reports of major issues with V4 during CQ WW Phone or WRTC or ARRL Sweepstakes. It was released over 16 months ago and is very stable and reliable. Be sure to update the Country files and Super Check Partial files and you will be in good shape.<br><br>The only difference you will notice at first between V3 and V4 is that there are now bright yellow sunlight bars at the bottom of the Check Multipliers window. You can remove those by right clicking on the window and selecting Display Options.<br><br>The other difference is that by default, logs, and country files and databases are now stored in a new place that is a pain to get to using Windows, but the new File | Explore menu in Win-Test helps you locate them easily.<br><br>In sum, I can't think of a single reason to install Version 3 if you have to get brand new computers and reconfigure everything anyway.<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 1:40 PM, Rick Dougherty NQ4I <<a href="mailto:nq4i@contesting.com">nq4i@contesting.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi All...a couple questions:<br>1.
