The website for reporting bugs in the MIXW4 software program is again active.
According to the info I received, it would have been a server issue that made the website offline.

Maybe you can make a report for (MixW4 DXLabs) MixW2 DXLabs and the necessary codes that you need. You must be logged in to create a report.
I think it’s worth a try. The website is https://bugs.mixw.eu/login_page.php

Sorry I don’t ask the question, because I don’t know the necessary codes to make MixW2 DXLabs “speak” with MixW4.
Hopefully this helped you.

Happy holidays and happy new year for you and your family.

OK Thanks for getting back to me..

My excuses for the late answer.
Have it been busy lately with family matters.
I am trying to contact someone who is a beta tester for MixW4.
You will hear from me again.

Hi Patrick..
About a month ago I tried it and was finally able to get my radio (7300) finally working with it.
I really hate the new layout. It’s not very intuitive to work with.
I did try connecting to the ActiveX connector but was unable to. I am not sure if the developers have that working or they have changed the method of connecting to it. I tried as a normal user and as running the connections using the Run as Administrator setting. If you are in contact with them please have them post the connection means that is built into it.

Have you done any further research with MixW4?
The latest official version is 1.1.1 in which different radio types are already included.
I can do FT8, FT4, RTTY, HELL, BPSK31, BPSK63 and a few more modes. All modes have not yet been processed. As far as the contests are concerned, there are many more.
Maybe it is time to investigate if MixW4 can communicate with DXLab. Now I use MixW4 to create an ADIF file afterwards and import it into DXLab. This means that the RX freq is missing. Not all data is included in the ADIF file. The makers of MixW4 are aware of this.

Hi Patrick..
I have been unable to get MixW4 to run for the most part. The program loads but does not talk to my radios or com ports so I just deleted it off my computer for now until it becomes a more stable program. Previous versions of MixW always loaded an ActiveX control for other program to communicate through. If the bridge was loaded and and MixW’s activeX was running it would auto connect to it. It became harder once Windows 10 was released as they have put stronger blocking in place to stop programs from talking together. It was required that both program required Run as Administrator settings in order to run and MixW’s ActiveX stopped loading MixW. You had to load MixW first and make sure it had Run as Administrator settings turned on and then load the gateway using the same settings. I’m not sure if MixW 4 has the same type of ActiveX control or not. The DDE communications that previous MixW versions used is also going to be a problem going forward. VB6 has almost become obsolete and .net does not support DDE with in it’s own libraries. There is one DDE library for .net and it is quite flaky. (I have been re-writing my Fldigi to DXLabs bridge and am having trouble with the DDE connections.) When I get some time I will take a look and see if I can find out if MixW actually has the same activeX connections or not..

Have also placed the bridge in the same folder of MixW4, but no result.
Have you test this with MixW4?
Maybe I have overlooked something.

Hi Steve..
It still is supported with that version of MixW. The problem is OS dependent. If you are running Windows 10 and some late version of Windows 7 it requires that All 3 programs be run using the Run as Administrator setting. and also MixW must be run first if I remember correctly. Windows 10 no longer truly supports the messaging means that is used in MixW and DXKeeper so it is kinda a kludge until I can rewrite the gateway using a new means for communication.
