Changes to RBN, bandmap and lotw/eqso up-dnload lotw/eqsl: … - Having continuous problems here with lotw upload monitor scrolling to last line. Now added setting of vertical scrollbar to huge value in MStatChange routine. - Added same mStatChange scrolling procedure to lotw download eqsl up and download. - Added disable_button "upload"(after click) in lotw upload to prevent pressing it moren than once. If lotw server does not reply in time there is temptation to press it "for sure" again. May lead to duplicate upload requests. RBN monitor: - Added tool buttons "clean" (wipe the whole grid) and "Help" - Fixed program crash if RBN has connected, then disconnected and after that filter is changed. RBNThread free_on_terminate does not nul it and it causes halt when exit from filter settings. FreeAndNil after disconnect removes this problem. - Fixed mouse-on hint texts - Added "STOP" indicator to note user that new spots are not displayed when any of columns is selected. Bandmap: - Added tool buttons "font", "clean" and "help". Clean button cleans not just display but also the spot array. - Added to filter settings and to preferences an ability to adjust frequency and callsign widths in right padding. Some calls are now very long like TC1STAYHOME and user may want to adjust the space. Also if only HF is used, frequency width can be narrower. Now it is up to user. - Added "STOP" indicator to note user that new spots are not added when band map window is focused. Common: - Help files fixed and new help created for RBN monitor Squashed commit of the following: commit 732512331df249a1f0ad658dc3f4db37c4b760d0 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Fri Apr 3 12:37:33 2020 +0300 Added 'Stop' indicator when cell is selected.Fixed bug that randomly selected a roe(same column as before) if column was selected, then form focus loosed and again returned.

<h2><strong>Preferences</strong></h2>
The first tab of the 'Preferences' dialog is labelled 'Program'. Here you can setup the
main program behaviour.<br><br>
<a name=ah2><h2><strong>Program</strong></h2></a>
<img src=img/h5.png border=0>
<br><br>
The <strong>Internet connection</strong> is important to those who are behind a proxy.
The data required does not need further explanation, hopefully. CQRLOG attempts to connect
if you try to connect to the DX Cluster (either via web or telnet) and/or if you hit F6
to access the HamQTH.com/QRZ.COM callbook data.
<br><br>
Other settings are:<br><br>
<strong>get UTC time from computer time</strong> - CQRLOG will read UTC from the system time.
If you uncheck the option, you can set the difference between UTC and your local time manually
both for sunrise/sunset and qso time.
<br><br>
<strong>Grayline offset</strong> - sometimes the gray line position is not accurate.
You can set your own correction.
<br><br>
<strong>Check for newer version of DXCC tables after program startup</strong></a> - if checked,
CQRLOG will check if any update of the country files is available. If a new version is found,
an update will be performed, however you are asked first if you want this update.<br><br>
<strong>Check for newer version of qsl managers database after program startup</strong> - if
checked, CQRLOG will check if any update of the QSL Managers database is available. If a new
version is found, an update will be performed, however you are asked first if you want
this update.<br><br>
<img src=img/h67.png border=0><br><br>
<strong>Show deleted countries in statistics</strong></a> - adds formerly valid countries
to statistics and overall DXCC counts.<br><br>
<strong>Show sunrise/sunset in UTC</strong> - if checked, sunrise and sunset times are shown
in UTC, otherwise in local time. Set up the proper time difference for both grayline
and sun rise/set.<br><br>
<strong>Show statistics in</strong> metres (m) or Megahertz (MHz). Selecting one of the radio
buttons affects the statistics appearing at the bottom of logging screen:<br><br>
<img src=img/h27.png border=0><br><br>
and also the headers of the main statistics (DXCC, WAZ and ITU).
<br><br>
<strong>Configuration storage settings</strong> - if you have one common database and several
computers with CQRLOG installed, you can choose which configuration items will be stored
only on the local computer and which will be stored in the database. Configuration stored
in the database will be common for all computers but local configuration will affect CQRLOG
on the local computer only. E.g. if you have two computers in hamshack, both are connected to
the common database. Now you can choose that TRX control, CW keying interface and position
of opened windows will be stored only to local computer.
You'll be able to have different TRX control configuration, windows postions, number of
opened windows etc. on each computer.

Enter your call, name, QTH and QRA Locator here. Remember, that the entered call is also used
as the login for the DX Cluster and is displayed on all stats exported to html. The QRA locator
is of high importance because it determines your accurate position (ie. you don't need to enter
your exact coordinates). The QRA Locator is used in beam heading and distance computation as
well as the start point of the simplified path to the other station which appears on the
Locator in standard format: This was intended to be a fix for issue #187 but it grow up during programming. -sets now locator writing by standard format "AB12cd" as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Locator_System#Description_of_the_system Also adif.org uses this link as reference in their descriptions. Writing format is forced at typing phase (I hope I found all loc inputs). Also ADIF input/output forces formatting and finally save qso to database will make sure the format is right. -Playing with locators made an idea of showing distances in QSO list. How ever Lazarus DBGrid does not allow showing calculated columns. Either an additional unit must be used to do this or database needs a new column "distance". That is why a selected QSO's distance is shown at bottom status area with "comment", "Award" and QSL times with total and longest qso distances of log or filter selection. But only if checked to be visible from preferences/visible columns (although it is not actually a column). -preferences/program/Show distance in miles affects also all places where distance is now shown. -Distance can also be selected to exist in ADIF, HTML and QSL label exports. -QSL label export has some new selections with distance. They are: Propagation, Satellite, Contest name and contest exchanges (4) -HTML export output is fixed to support CSS and HTML5. HTML export has now working column width (by average char count, not in pixels) or Auto column width selection. -HTML export column names can be changed by user. -Help files are updated Squashed commit of the following: commit de1cccf58e7698b275fa49be7765dde6665199f4 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Wed Oct 2 20:09:08 2019 +0300 Found small big in fraExportPref commit f7697e910d6cf0e595d22d7c6fefb5999b04255b Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Tue Oct 1 09:55:34 2019 +0300 help update commit a4958fda68db0117666ac47841aa92a28a473b36 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Mon Sep 30 16:56:29 2019 +0300 NewQso:fix rxfreq input limit.

Here are the default values for a new QSO. Remember, that if the radio interface control is
active, the default frequency does not appear on the logging screen. The preset RST values
will apppear in their corresponding boxes.
<br><br>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
The <strong>Change default values</strong> button allows you to change the frequencies available in
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
the drop down menu in the NewQSO window. Very useful if you have favourite frequencies
and don't have the radio connected to the computer.<br>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
The <strong>'Use spacebar to move between fields'</strong> is very interesting and probably the
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
most natural way but it works only if you are moving forwards. To move between fields,
there are two other generic possibilities (TAB key and up/down arrow keys) which
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
remain unaffected even if you check the spacebar option. </br>
The <strong>'Refresh data after save QSO'</strong> affects the data displayed in the QSO List (Ctrl-O). If checked, each
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
QSO appears in this list immediately after logging, however the refresh procedure is
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
quite slow. To save time, keep this box unchecked. </br>
The <strong>'Skip over mode and frequency when radio is connected'</strong> is very important if the radio control is active.</br>
The <strong>'Show detail window'</strong> option enables an extra window to appear at program start.</br>
The <strong>'Enable auto search on HamQTH.com/QRZ.COM'</strong> switches on the automated search
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
for HamQTH/QRZ callbook data for any worked station. This option does the same as F6 on the
logging screen, however it can be rather slow depending on the HamQTH.com/QRZ.COM server
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
availability.</br>
The <strong>'Show recent QSO records for last ** days'</strong> limits the QSO records
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
listed in the logging screen. Do not set the number of days too high, a high number can
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
cause program speed issues! The default value of 5 days is appropriate for most cases.</br>
The <strong>instead show QSOs B4 with logged call</strong> changes recent QSO records to list of worked before list with just logged callsign.
I.E. Same list you can see while you have edited a new call, but not yet saved as logged qso. This works only, as option, if
<em>'Show recent QSO records for last ** days'</em> is first checked.</br>
The <strong>In previous QSO list show also QSO with call/p</strong> etc. means you can see
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
previous QSO with a station even if he was active from another country with his
call/prefix. E.g. if you enter OK2CQR, you'll also see previous QSOs with him when he
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
was OM/OK2CQR, SP/OK2CQR etc.</br>
The <strong>Enable satellite mode</strong> Opens second tab 'Satellte' to NewQSO/DXCC statistic view. There you can select used satellite name,
RX frequency and also propagation mode for logged qso.</br>

Checked columns are visible in the previous QSO list appearing at the top of the
Locator in standard format: This was intended to be a fix for issue #187 but it grow up during programming. -sets now locator writing by standard format "AB12cd" as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Locator_System#Description_of_the_system Also adif.org uses this link as reference in their descriptions. Writing format is forced at typing phase (I hope I found all loc inputs). Also ADIF input/output forces formatting and finally save qso to database will make sure the format is right. -Playing with locators made an idea of showing distances in QSO list. How ever Lazarus DBGrid does not allow showing calculated columns. Either an additional unit must be used to do this or database needs a new column "distance". That is why a selected QSO's distance is shown at bottom status area with "comment", "Award" and QSL times with total and longest qso distances of log or filter selection. But only if checked to be visible from preferences/visible columns (although it is not actually a column). -preferences/program/Show distance in miles affects also all places where distance is now shown. -Distance can also be selected to exist in ADIF, HTML and QSL label exports. -QSL label export has some new selections with distance. They are: Propagation, Satellite, Contest name and contest exchanges (4) -HTML export output is fixed to support CSS and HTML5. HTML export has now working column width (by average char count, not in pixels) or Auto column width selection. -HTML export column names can be changed by user. -Help files are updated Squashed commit of the following: commit de1cccf58e7698b275fa49be7765dde6665199f4 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Wed Oct 2 20:09:08 2019 +0300 Found small big in fraExportPref commit f7697e910d6cf0e595d22d7c6fefb5999b04255b Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Tue Oct 1 09:55:34 2019 +0300 help update commit a4958fda68db0117666ac47841aa92a28a473b36 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Mon Sep 30 16:56:29 2019 +0300 NewQso:fix rxfreq input limit.

<br>Display of distances requires that preferences/station/locator is set and applied (automatic) to every qso and that at least 4 digit locator (when "ll" is added as 5 and 6th char) of destination station is logged.
Sometimes importing logs from other logging program may leave my locator unset. In this case QSO list/File/Group edit must be used for updating my locator field.

They change vfo, but there is no feedback of current vfo as Icom brand rigs do not support "Get_Vfo" command. -Checkbox 'pereferences/TRXcontor/Switch only between mode related memories' now works -Selection 'Open memory list' opens list of memories without editing buttons and without showModal. List can be kept open while logging qsos. Double click on list line changes rig to that frequency/mode. -Double click of line works also on Add/Modify memory list lines. -Corresponding help files updated.

The TRX Control displays actual frequency. You can change band and mode. The radio will
change the freq/mode after you double click on a spot from dx cluster or on an item
in bandmap.<br> CQRLOG uses the rigctld utilty from HamLib. It controls the radio and
programs communicate with it through UDP. CQRLOG supports operating with two TRX but
only one can be active at a time.<br><br>
<strong>Radio one, desc:</strong> is a description you'll see in TRX control window. It is only
descriptive text, you can write whatever you want.<br><br>
<strong>Host:</strong> computer where rigctld is running, localhost is fine for most cases. <br><br>
<strong>RIG model:</strong> choose your radio model from the list<br><br>
<strong>Device:</strong> device which the radio is connected to. /dev/ttyS0 is COM1, /dev/ttyS1
is COM2 etc. If you use USB to serial interface, the device will usually be /dev/ttyUSB0
for COM1 etc. If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, <strong>you have to be member of the dialout users
group</strong> to have rights to the serial ports.<br><br>
2016-05-06 18:56:07 +00:00
<strong>Poll rate:</strong> specifies how often CQRLOG should read data from rigctld. 500 milliseconds
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
is fine.<br><br>
<strong>Port number</strong> is the number of the port used to communicate with rigctld.
Default value is 4532. The second radio, has to have a different port e.g. 4533.<br><br>
<strong>Extra command line arguments</strong> usefull when you have to specify more parameters to
rigctld. E.g. CIV address (--civaddr=ID, where ID is the CIV address).<br><br>
<strong>Serial port parameters</strong> from the manual of your rig, please choose the correct options.
Very often it is much better to specify only serial speed and leave other options as default.
Default value means that the settings from HamLib will be used.<br>
<br>
<strong>Switch only between mode related memories</strong> if this option is cheched, only memories related to
current
operating mode will be used. E.g. you are on CW right now, CQRLOG will switch only between memories with CW mode.
When you switch to
USB or LSB, CQRLOG will use memories both with USB and LSB mode.<br><br>
<strong>Show communication with TRX in console</strong> sometimes TRX control doesn't work. Check this option, run
CQRLOG from console and
you'll see the communication between TRX and Hamlib. This could help to find out what is wrong.<br><br>
<strong>Change default frequencies</strong><br>
The default frequencies which the radio tunes if you click a band button in the 'TRX control'
panel can be changed to your preferences. The mode is switched in accordance to the band plan,
there is actually a separate set of default frequencies for each CW, SSB, RTTY, AM and FM modes.
Click the 'Change default frequencies' button and set up frequencies of your choice.

Update for Rotor control First goal was to make same kind of rotortype selector as TRXcontrol has for rig types. After some study it showed up that more work has to be done. Unfortunately the only rotor type for me to test is "Hamlib Dummy" that happens to be different than most of rotor types known by Hamlib. Most of rotors are 0..360 degree ones, some including Dummy are -180..0..180 degree ones and then there are some that are turning more than one round.

Setting up Rotator control is very similar to setting up Rig control.
2016-01-31 20:16:35 +00:00
<br>
Update for Rotor control First goal was to make same kind of rotortype selector as TRXcontrol has for rig types. After some study it showed up that more work has to be done. Unfortunately the only rotor type for me to test is "Hamlib Dummy" that happens to be different than most of rotor types known by Hamlib. Most of rotors are 0..360 degree ones, some including Dummy are -180..0..180 degree ones and then there are some that are turning more than one round. Even up to 0..540 degrees Then in latest verson of Hamlib (4.0-git) there are new parameters for setting offset, south_zero and limits for AzMin and/or AzMax. That makes it hard to get all work with cqrlog that always sends/reads true headings 0..360 I am sure that this needs more fixing after Hamlib 4.0 becomes official release (and they may make some changes still).

<br>If <b>Use rotctld \dump_state info for limits</b> cheked rotctld asks turning limits AzMin and AzMax values from rotctld with command <strong>'+\dump_state'</strong>.
That makes user possible to set turning limits other than rotator default turn with
<strong>Extra command line arguments</strong>. Using string <strong> --set-conf=min_az=10,max_az=355</strong> you can set rotator so that cqrlog will never turn it below 10deg or over 355deg.
<br>Using negative value at az_min causes Cqrlog set it's 0degrees "P"-command to given negative value (while still displaying 0). I.E if az_min=-180 Cqrlog will use turning commands from "P-180" to "P180".
<br>Without negative az_min or when checkbox <b>Use rotctld \dump_state info for limits</b> is not set Cqrlog sends commands in usual range "P0 to "P360".
</p><p>Some rotators have turn from -180deg-0deg-180deg (south stop), like Hamlib Dummy test rotator.
<br>Most of rotators have turn 0deg - 360deg.
<br>Some may turn 0deg - >360 deg. With them cqrlog never drives values over 360, but reads position right if rotor sends over 360 deg value (sent_value-360 = cqrlog display).

They change vfo, but there is no feedback of current vfo as Icom brand rigs do not support "Get_Vfo" command. -Checkbox 'pereferences/TRXcontor/Switch only between mode related memories' now works -Selection 'Open memory list' opens list of memories without editing buttons and without showModal. List can be kept open while logging qsos. Double click on list line changes rig to that frequency/mode. -Double click of line works also on Add/Modify memory list lines. -Corresponding help files updated.

Here you can set up the default bandwidth for any of the supported modes (CW - SSB - RTTY - AM - FM).
If your radio is tuned to the corresponding band segment or if you switch the mode on the radio
control panel, CQRLOG will change the bandwidth to the desired value. The bandwidth can be
changed at any time, however a program restart will probably be needed to make the changes
take effect.<br><br>
<strong>User definable digital modes</strong> can be set up in a separate box. Use comma
as a separator, ie. BPSK31,QPSK64,OLIVIA,CONTESTIA etc.<br>

CQRLOG uses QTH Profiles. Your QTH and equipment details can be entered here. If you are
logging a new QSO, choose the appropriate profile. Later, you can see which rig and antenna
were used but the main purpose is usage in filters. You can create a filter with QTH Profile
as one of the criteria, a later filtering of QSOs made on your portable operation or QRP
activity is possible. This method seems more effective than the usual portable log, even if
you are using MM0XXX/P as your call it will probably contain a mixture of all portable
activities together. With QTH Profile, it is always possible to make a separate 'log'
for each operation.

2019-10-03 10:14:17 +00:00
Only checked fields are exported. The 'Column' option names columns at header line. 'Width' option denotes the column width in approx. count of 16px characters.
Both options affect only for the HTML export.
<br>Width setting is ignored if "HTML auto column width" is checked when longest text in column (column name or data) sets the column width.
<br>Distances are not exported when doing log backup at cqlog closing phase. They will be calculated and exported (if selected) in ADIF, HTML and QSL label printing.
Calculation of distances requires that preferences/station/locator is set and applied (automatic) to every qso and that at least 4 digit locator
(in case "ll" is added as 5 and 6th char to get the center of grid) of destination station logged. Sometimes importing logs from other logging program may leave own station locator unset. In this case QSO list/File/Group edit must be used for updating "my locator" field.

The primary aim of the 'Membership' info is tracking of members of a club or stations
valid for an award. The info is derived from the call sign entered into the 'Call' box on
the logging screen. CQRLOG can track member's calls from up to 5 databases simultaneously.
To set up the tracking, do the following steps:<br><br>
<strong>1. Choose a Club to be tracked.</strong> Click the first long button in the 'First
club' box. A long list of Clubs appears.<br><br><img src=img/h37.png border=0><br><br>
<strong>2. Click the 'Load' button.</strong> The membership data is loaded from the text
database in the 'members' subfolder of your CQRLOG directory. A box with the number of
converted records appears.<br><br><img src=img/h38.png border=0><br><br>

Here you can set up which fields from the QSO entry should be bound with the appropriate

2015-07-05 16:21:40 +00:00
<img src=img/h61.png border=0><br><br>The Band map is a well known feature of many
contesting programs, however it is also great in a general logging program. It contains
a mix of filtered DX Cluster spots and your own entries where you can store call and
frequency of a station which you can't work just now but you want to return to later.<br><br>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
A very useful option of the Band Map is the <strong>'entries aging'</strong>.
2015-07-05 16:21:40 +00:00
Depending on the time left since entry 'birth', the color changes to lighter tone until
the entry disappears. There are two levels between appearance and disappearance of the entry.
The times of these two levels and the time of disappearance can be set. If you change
the aging times, restart CQRLOG. Remember that a program restart will be needed to make
the changes take effect!<br><br>
The spots can be color coded to highlight new countries, new band countries etc., in
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
the same way as in the DX Cluster window - check the <strong>'Use the same color as the spot'</strong>
2015-07-05 16:21:40 +00:00
option. If this option remains unchecked, all entries are shown in black (with aging
to dark grey and light grey) and your own entries, <strong>made with Ctrl-A</strong>
or the <strong>Big Plus key</strong> on the numerical keyboard, are shown in blue.
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
Also, another set of <strong>Watched</strong> and <strong>Ignored</strong> entries can be defined.<br><br>
The content of the Band map can be stored if leaving the log. Check the <strong>'Save band
map after close'</strong> option.<br><br>The <strong>'Show only active mode'</strong> and <strong>'Show
only active band'</strong> options providing an additional level of cluster spot filtering.
2015-07-05 16:21:40 +00:00
When checked, the Band Map will show only spots for the mode or band which the radio is on.
The spots are sorted by frequency, so you will see what is on the band - at a glance.
No doubt you will prefer this over the DX Cluster window which contains a mess of rolling
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
spots, often hard to 'catch'. Finally, if the <strong>'Delete station from band map after
QSO'</strong> option is checked, the entry with a worked station disappers from the Band Map.
2015-07-05 16:21:40 +00:00
If such a station is spotted again, it will appear again in the Band Map.
Changes to RBN, bandmap and lotw/eqso up-dnload lotw/eqsl: … - Having continuous problems here with lotw upload monitor scrolling to last line. Now added setting of vertical scrollbar to huge value in MStatChange routine. - Added same mStatChange scrolling procedure to lotw download eqsl up and download. - Added disable_button "upload"(after click) in lotw upload to prevent pressing it moren than once. If lotw server does not reply in time there is temptation to press it "for sure" again. May lead to duplicate upload requests. RBN monitor: - Added tool buttons "clean" (wipe the whole grid) and "Help" - Fixed program crash if RBN has connected, then disconnected and after that filter is changed. RBNThread free_on_terminate does not nul it and it causes halt when exit from filter settings. FreeAndNil after disconnect removes this problem. - Fixed mouse-on hint texts - Added "STOP" indicator to note user that new spots are not displayed when any of columns is selected. Bandmap: - Added tool buttons "font", "clean" and "help". Clean button cleans not just display but also the spot array. - Added to filter settings and to preferences an ability to adjust frequency and callsign widths in right padding. Some calls are now very long like TC1STAYHOME and user may want to adjust the space. Also if only HF is used, frequency width can be narrower. Now it is up to user. - Added "STOP" indicator to note user that new spots are not added when band map window is focused. Common: - Help files fixed and new help created for RBN monitor Squashed commit of the following: commit 732512331df249a1f0ad658dc3f4db37c4b760d0 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Fri Apr 3 12:37:33 2020 +0300 Added 'Stop' indicator when cell is selected.Fixed bug that randomly selected a roe(same column as before) if column was selected, then form focus loosed and again returned.

To ensure correct rendering of the azimuthal map with DX Cluster spots, the external
program xplanet must be installed and several parameters must be set up. First,
install xplanet. Many distributions have this program either on the installation media
(CD, DVD) or xplanet exists in the form of a corresponding package
(rpm, deb, tgz, ebuild etc.). If not, download source codes from:<br>
<a href="http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/download.php">
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
<strong>http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/download.php</strong></a><br><br>
2015-07-05 16:21:40 +00:00
Follow the usual installation instructions:<br>
2013-03-15 20:13:08 +00:00
<pre>./configure
make
make install</pre>
There are no known dependencies issues.<br><br>
<div align=justify>
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
The first thing to be set up is the path to the xplanet binary. The default
<pre>/usr/local/bin/xplanet</pre>
is OK in most cases for installation from sources,
the usual path for installation from precompiled packages is
<pre>/usr/bin/xplanet</pre>
Adjust the <strong>window size</strong> (remember to set up a square, ie. 400x400,
300x300 etc. to avoid strange effects). Also, the <strong>window position</strong>
must be set up to create a nice looking screen. Use the <strong>Test it!</strong>
button to see how your settings affect the resulting screen.<br><br>
Xplanet can refresh its display at a preset interval. This is very useful because it
can read the spot (entry) list and update the displayed data. To avoid a 'flooded',
unreadable window, the number of displayed spots/entries must be limited. It seems
that 20 is the maximum to keep the display garbage away. Actually, the number of
spots (entries) is not limited by the program but by the readability. If you change
the number of spots to be displayed or if the spots should (should not) be sent to
xplanet, restart the program. Remember that a program restart will be needed to
make the changes take effect!<br><br>
Set up the source (DX Cluster, Band map) by checking the appropriate radio button
in the '<strong>Show stations from</strong>' section. The '<strong>Projection</strong>'
has 3 options:<br>
<ul>
<li><strong>3D</strong> - shows the globe as viewed from space. This rendering
type without any projection is very nice, however the very distant points will not be
visible, also spots or band map entries of distant DX locations will disappear.
Angles should be true because the globe is 'centered' on your location. Distances
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
are <strong>not true</strong> because of the lack of projection. This eye candy is
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
therefore good for those who do not work DX stations.
</li>
<li><strong>Azimuthal</strong> - is the usual directional map which you will find
useful for any rotator indication. Both angles and distances are true, however the
continent patterns may look a bit strange to those who are not very accustomed
to this projection. The azimuthal projection is the best for a DXer.
</li>
<li><strong>Azimuthal without background</strong> - is the same as above but the
background which contains the angle (polar) scale is not rendered. It is an
'emergency' solution which is useful if you have not enough space to set up
the main xplanet window as a square.
</li>
</ul>
The center locator for the xplanet window can be customized by configuring in on
this page. In case the field is empty the default locator of the station is used.<br><br>
2019-10-24 14:40:49 +00:00
If you want to have your own position displayed within xplanet check the <strong>Show own
position within xplanet</strong> checkbox.<br><br>
this page. In case the field is empty the default locator of the station is used.<br><br>
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
The xplanet window currently has no other function than to display spots or band
map entries in the azimuthal projection or 3D-like picture.

<img src=img/h69.png border=0><br><br>
Zip code tracking allows you to determine states, counties, provinces and other
geographical details if the postal zip code structure allows such operations. The zip
code itself is retrieved from the callbook address. The database is located in
the /zipcodes folder. If set up properly, the F6 key is used to determine US state,
US county and Italian province.<br><br>
<strong>Setup: </strong>The database must be loaded before use and the target (field)
must be specified. Also, the position of the zip code (line begin or end) must be set
up.<br><br>

<a name=ch1><h2><strong>CW interface</strong></h2></a>
<img src="img/h95.png"><br><br>
Choose your preferred CW interface. There are 5 options: None, WinKeyer USB,
cwdaemon, K3NG keyer and HamLib. We strongly recommend Winkey USB by Steve Elliot, K1EL,
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
which provides 'all in one' keying, including one of most advanced paddle keyers available.
cwdaemon should be seen as a backup option with many limitations, which may need
a custom linux kernel to avoid sloppy CW at speeds above 25 WPM. If cwdaemon is used,
only keyboard keying is possible.<br><br>
Detailed setup of the CW devices is here:
<ul>
<li><a href=cwd.html><strong>cwdaemon</strong></a>
<li><a href=wkusb.html><strong>Winkey USB</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="http://blog.radioartisan.com/arduino-cw-keyer/" target="_blank">
<strong>K3NG</strong></a></li>

<a name=ch2><h2><strong>fldigi interface</strong></h2></a>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
First, <strong>fldigi</strong> must be installed and functional.
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
Preferences must be set up to operate with fldigi. Set up the path to fldigi, and if you wish
to start it when CQRLOG switches to remote mode. Other parameters including the way that
the CQRLOG - fldigi combo should handle the frequency, mode and RST. CQRLOG also loads
the fldigi contents to keep the data, so the 'polling' period should be set up.
The 2 seconds interval is a very acceptable default.<br><br>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
The way the CQRLOG - fldigi combo handles the frequency, mode and RST is rather important.
Keep in mind that CQRLOG operates in remote mode which means that the logger is offline
and therefore does not display the actual frequency and mode on the logging screen. If
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
you properly set up the <strong>fldigi</strong> mode and frequency control, both are correctly
displayed in the <strong>fldigi</strong> window. <strong>Choose the fldigi</strong> option in
<strong>Frequency from</strong>, <strong>Mode from</strong> and <strong>RST from</strong> boxes and you don't
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
need to watch the logger, except the QSO list in the upper portion of the logging screen.
When logging/saving a contact, frequency, mode and RST should appear correctly in this QSO list.
If you choose the CQRLOG option, you must set the mode in CQRLOG which seems less sensible.

<img src="img/h101.png"><br><br>
<h2><strong>wsjt-x interface</strong></h2>
Setting wsjt-x interface is mainly same as setting fldigi. How ever communication is done via UDP frames and so the IP address and Port must be specified.
<br>Default values are <strong>127.0.0.1</strong> or <strong>localhost</strong> for address and <strong>2237</strong> for port. These are set in wsjt-x settings/reporting and if changed there, must also to be changed here.
<br>
Address can also be other PC's IP address if wsjt-x is running in different networked PC than cqrlog, or even 0.0.0.0 when cqrlog listens all transmits from every wsjt-x in network.
<br><br>
Using <strong> WB4 chk starts from</strong> it is possible to limit log search starting from given date for callsign and/or locator.
<br>Setting checkbox will apply given date as start date. Otherwise, when unchecked, whole log is searched through.
<br>These limits will affect to callsign and/or locator coloring in wsjt-x monitor and worked grids map summary counts and grid painting.
<br>
WB4 can be handy when working <strong>ARRL International Grid Chase </strong>or <strong>ARRL RTTY-FT8</strong> like contests if one does not like to create separate log for that purpose.
<br><br><img src="img/h101b.png"><br><br>
Pressing calendar icon is easy way to set date. Double click on selected date closes calendar and sets the date. Pressing ESC closes calendar, but does not set date. Date can also be typed in manually.
<br><br>
<a name=ch2c></a>
<h2><strong>N1MM interface</strong></h2>
Setting of N1MM interface is similar as wsjt-x interface. Only IP address and PORT have to be set if they are not defaults.
<br>Default values are <strong>127.0.0.1</strong> or <strong>localhost</strong> for address and <strong>2333</strong> for port. These are set in wsjt-x, or js8call, settings/reporting and if changed there, must also to be changed here.
<br>
Address can also be other PC's IP address if wsjt-x is running in different networked PC than cqrlog, or even 0.0.0.0 when cqrlog listens all transmits from every wsjt-x in network.
<br><br>
At WSJT-X 2.1.0 settings N1MM remote is renamed to "Secondary UDP server (deprecated)" and it is reported to be removed completely in future. Because of that it is now possible to set cqrlog's N1MM port to wsjt-x UDP server port number. WSJT-X 2.1.x UDP frames contain message #12 that
includes log information in ADIF format and N1MM remote can now parse that from binary data if you do not like to have monitoring properties (using wsjt remote) but want just qso logging (using N1MM remote).
<br><br>
N1MM remote has now better support for QRZ/HamQTH info fetch. If this is not allowed in preferences, or if there is no reponse from Web max waiting time (timeout) is 5 seconds (You can not remove this property, so be patient. You can not have new qso for logging during 5 seconds!).
<br>While having qso you can write some notes like Name, QTH, Comment to QSO, etc. to NewQSO and it will saved with qso data during next wsjt-x "log qso/OK" event. They will not be overwritten by possible Qrz/HamQth info.
<br><br>
<strong>NOTE !!</strong> Wstx- does not send contest -name, -number and -string in ADIF logging datagram. Contest exchanges are placed to regular rst_s and rst_r strings. So cqrlog can not fill proper contest columns when logging is done with ADIF datagram using N1MM remote.
<br><br>
<a name=ch3><h2><strong>Exit & Auto backup</strong></h2></a>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
To increase the safety of your log data, CQRLOG is equipped with an <strong>Auto backup</strong>
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
option which allows you to export (ADIF) and store the log data in a safe location.
The ADIF format was choosen because of its text format. The output file can be compressed
in tar.gz format.<br><br>
<img src="img/h102.png"><br><br>
Of course, the export and compression takes some time, depending on the log size (QSO count).
If you are not in a hurry, allow the program 2-3 minutes to perform this safety measure.
We reccomend you backup your log to your hard drive from there it should be copied to
Locator in standard format: This was intended to be a fix for issue #187 but it grow up during programming. -sets now locator writing by standard format "AB12cd" as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Locator_System#Description_of_the_system Also adif.org uses this link as reference in their descriptions. Writing format is forced at typing phase (I hope I found all loc inputs). Also ADIF input/output forces formatting and finally save qso to database will make sure the format is right. -Playing with locators made an idea of showing distances in QSO list. How ever Lazarus DBGrid does not allow showing calculated columns. Either an additional unit must be used to do this or database needs a new column "distance". That is why a selected QSO's distance is shown at bottom status area with "comment", "Award" and QSL times with total and longest qso distances of log or filter selection. But only if checked to be visible from preferences/visible columns (although it is not actually a column). -preferences/program/Show distance in miles affects also all places where distance is now shown. -Distance can also be selected to exist in ADIF, HTML and QSL label exports. -QSL label export has some new selections with distance. They are: Propagation, Satellite, Contest name and contest exchanges (4) -HTML export output is fixed to support CSS and HTML5. HTML export has now working column width (by average char count, not in pixels) or Auto column width selection. -HTML export column names can be changed by user. -Help files are updated Squashed commit of the following: commit de1cccf58e7698b275fa49be7765dde6665199f4 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Wed Oct 2 20:09:08 2019 +0300 Found small big in fraExportPref commit f7697e910d6cf0e595d22d7c6fefb5999b04255b Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Tue Oct 1 09:55:34 2019 +0300 help update commit a4958fda68db0117666ac47841aa92a28a473b36 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Mon Sep 30 16:56:29 2019 +0300 NewQso:fix rxfreq input limit.

CQRLOG supports <a href="http://HamQTH.com">HamQTH</a> and <a href="http://qrz.com">QRZ.com</a>
callbooks but only access through the XML interace is supported. HamQTH has a free interface,
for QRZ.com you have to pay an annual fee.<br><br>

<a name=ch6><h2><strong>RBN support</strong></h2></a>
CQRLOG can receive spots from RBN and show them on the Gray line map. It's very nice to
see where your signal has been decoded especially when you are calling CQ on an empty band.<br><br>
<img src="img/h1114.png"><br><br>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
<strong>Login:</strong> - your user name to log in to RBN. It's usually your own callsign.<br>
<strong>Watch for:</strong> the callsign you are watching for, also usually your own callsign.
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
If you leave this field empty, every spot will be shown on the grayline map.<br>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
<strong>Auto connect after open the log</strong> - check this option if you want to autoconnect
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
to RBN when the program starts, you won't have to worry about it and CQRLOG will do
it for you automatically.

2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
180 seconds (3 minutes) is a good default value. Please note, it also depends on the band,
if you change band, dots will always be deleted. All data is band related.<br>

<a href="http://hrdlog.net/">HRDLOG.net</a><br>
<img src="img/h1116.png"><br><br>
Both ClubLog and HamQTH need a username and password, Clublog also needs the email address
used when you registered. HRDLog.net needs only user name and the code you got by e-mail.
You can set different color for each service. This color will be used for status messages
which will inform you about upload progress.

<strong>Upload QSO data immediately after save, update or delete</strong> means that every
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
insert/update or delete will be uploaded automatically. But if you change something in
QSO list window with hot keys e.g. CTRL+S, CTRL+W etc. and/or download data
from eQSL/LoTW, changes won't be uploaded. All will be uploaded after you save/delete QSO
or if you choose Online log and Upload to all online logs menu.<br>

<a name=ch8><h3>How to get it to work?</h3></a>
<ul>
<li>check if you have set correct username, password (email, Code)</li>
<li>export all data from the log to ADIF file</li>
<li>import this adif file to the website of online log you are going to use
(if you are using HamQTH, please wait untill the email about a successful import arrives)
</li>
2019-02-25 10:39:12 +00:00
<li>open QSO list window, click to <strong>Online log</strong> menu and choose
<strong>Mark QSO as uploaded to all logs</strong>, CQRLOG marks all QSO as uploaded
2016-04-18 16:52:11 +00:00
</li>
</ul>
That's all, Now if you insert/edit or delete a QSO, it will also be uploaded to the online log.
<br><br>
<strong>Close the "Status of log upload" window after successful upload</strong>
if you don't want to have Log upload status window visible, check this option and
windows will be closed after upload to online log is finished.
<br><br>
<strong>Ignore changes caused by LoTW/eQSL upload or download</strong> - every change of
a qso will cause a new upload to the online log database. Sometimes it can be useful to
have the opportunity to disable it when upload/download data to LoTW/eQSL. These changes
won't be logged and QSO won't be uploaded to any online log.

Changes to RBN, bandmap and lotw/eqso up-dnload lotw/eqsl: … - Having continuous problems here with lotw upload monitor scrolling to last line. Now added setting of vertical scrollbar to huge value in MStatChange routine. - Added same mStatChange scrolling procedure to lotw download eqsl up and download. - Added disable_button "upload"(after click) in lotw upload to prevent pressing it moren than once. If lotw server does not reply in time there is temptation to press it "for sure" again. May lead to duplicate upload requests. RBN monitor: - Added tool buttons "clean" (wipe the whole grid) and "Help" - Fixed program crash if RBN has connected, then disconnected and after that filter is changed. RBNThread free_on_terminate does not nul it and it causes halt when exit from filter settings. FreeAndNil after disconnect removes this problem. - Fixed mouse-on hint texts - Added "STOP" indicator to note user that new spots are not displayed when any of columns is selected. Bandmap: - Added tool buttons "font", "clean" and "help". Clean button cleans not just display but also the spot array. - Added to filter settings and to preferences an ability to adjust frequency and callsign widths in right padding. Some calls are now very long like TC1STAYHOME and user may want to adjust the space. Also if only HF is used, frequency width can be narrower. Now it is up to user. - Added "STOP" indicator to note user that new spots are not added when band map window is focused. Common: - Help files fixed and new help created for RBN monitor Squashed commit of the following: commit 732512331df249a1f0ad658dc3f4db37c4b760d0 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Fri Apr 3 12:37:33 2020 +0300 Added 'Stop' indicator when cell is selected.Fixed bug that randomly selected a roe(same column as before) if column was selected, then form focus loosed and again returned.
