Setting the DTA file for Super Check Partial - Page 2 of 4

When you select Super Check Partial from the Setup pull-down menu, the SuperChk Control Properties window will appear.  On the General tab, you have the option of setting the Search algorithm WriteLog uses to search and display calls in the Super Check Partial window.  I prefer using the 'Match only consecutive characters' option.

If a Dta file name is not present, then no file has been selected yet.  To select and set a Dta file, click on the Browse button.

This will open a window that will allow you to navigate to the location of the DTA file you wish to set.  For the sake of easily finding Dta files, it's suggested that you place them in the c:\ham\programs\ subdirectory (or c:\Program Files\programs\ directory for new installations of WriteLog).

Select which Dta file you wish to set for the particular contest you are running.  For easier tracking, I am now adding the date as a six digit number to end of my file name.  The file used in this example is aa5au_rtty030702 and was created on March 7, 2002 (for the latest AA5AU RTTY Callsign database file go to the Downloads Page).  Click on the file name once and it will be placed in the 'File name:' dialog box, then click OK.  Double clicking on the file name will do the same thing.

The Dta filename will now be shown in the dialog box in the SuperChk Control Properties window.  You can click OK if you are finished.  Or you can change other options on the Fonts or Colors tabs which are shown on the next page.
