i have two questions to ask who wants to help me:
1) how do you align/justify the lines in the TELNET cluster window? Akira Yoshida:?
You should open DX spot window? (not only Telnet window)
2) the QSO insertion window i find it difficult to insert the contact, i have to use the manual one. in my old log i do not enter the frequency but only the band and mode here it asks me for the frequency and i see the default frequency and mode. how can i vary this window by adding other fields as i like?
thanks
Akira Yoshida:?
If you want to add old QSO in Logger32, then you should use "Add QSO manually" window.

Re: Suggestion for Logger32 User Manual
Mornin' Mike.
First of all, thank you for that suggestion - good idea.? I will add a link in section 8.1.1 to section 8.9.? Secondly re AI, I'm tracking developments in the field of AI, watching and mostly waiting for the boffins to come up with AI systems that learn more like teenagers than pre-schoolers - in particular, current AI LLM system tend to be naughty (they don't naturally appreciate the difference between appropriate and inappropriate responses) and they sometimes drift into fantasy ('hallucinations' they're called) but expressed in such convincing terms that adults who don't think critically and check the facts can be fooled.? All in all, depending on the current crop of AI is like taking advice from a 5 year old.? It will take a while longer, yet, before AI comes of age.
Ingesting a 1,000 page document and spewing forth a digested form should be a breeze for the AI robots ... although maybe not the bargain basement ones currently available for free on the Interwebs.? ?To be really useful, though, they would also need to learn loads about ham radio around the world, licensing, operating, DXing, QSLing, awards, CAT, radios, comms technology and more.? I guess this may already be happening in the world of professional radio comms e.g. for military purposes.
Looking still further ahead, Bob, the Logger32 beta crew and I will eventually all be redundant as the AI robots pick up the skills to write, test and document useful applications.??
As to AI robots DXing and making QSOs, well we're already there at a basic level with FT8 autoresponders.? Simply sit back and watch your digi-shack having fun.? No doubt deepfake?technology will in time be applied to making CW and then speech QSOs too, and we'll all be redundant, having engineered ourselves out of the hobby.??
Thanks again for the feedback on the manual and an inspiring suggestion!

My suggestion:
?
In section 8.1 which tells you how to use multiple callsigns, the User Manual correctly says how to switch to a different logbook.
The immediate question that comes to mind is "but how do I create another logbook?"
?
What would be great is to add a sentence saying "See section 8.9 on how to create a new logbook."
?
A future AI thing:? it's possible to upload a PDF and then ask an AI questions about the PDF (we do this at work sometimes).? Currently AIs are not capable of ingesting more than about a 100 page PDF (at least in "chat mode").? The excellent User Manual is well over 900 pages so this can't be done yet.
?
But just imagine if the entire manual could be uploaded into an AI so you could ask it questions!
?
Users could ask their dumb questions (like mine) and it would take a big load off of the heroes helping all of us dummies out here!

Re: file cty.dat was not found
I think you're right Aki, the error message is not nearly cryptic or sarcastic enough for Logger32. Not even a 'The sky is falling' Chicken Little title. SeventyThree(s).

Hi Bob,
I hope you are doing great!
I came across this interesting website
Just wondering if you consider interesting the possibility of connecting it with Logger32.
The API reference is available here
?
Features
- Live Keyboarding : While typing the callsign in the log, HamDXMap will be informed, this partial callsign is copied in the RX callsign zone of HamDXMap. You will be able to locate the caller on the worldmap. You can detect any inconsistencies in the situation by looking at the MUF/foF2 curve in the panel.
- Logged Call : When the callsign is logged, the entire callsign is saved in HamDXMap (client brownser side). A circle with red border is drawed on the map. The display of these points is globally authorised/forbidden by the user with the Log source, in the filter section.
- DX-Cluster : All the spots coming over wtTelnet () are memorized on your browser in HamDXMap during a giving configured time (Storage depth parameter). User can filter the spot and make a ring be sounded for all new spot displayed. The display of these DXCluster spots is globally authorised/forbidden by the user with the DXc source, in the filter section.

Re: soemtimes Flex (SmartSDR) and logger lose each other
How is SmartSDR working now? I see no software updates, but Flex is?now offering a new radio ... looks to me like a 500w version (with built in ATU) of the 8xxx, 73.

Hi Frank and Oom Bob. (It is a South African thing)
Ok I will from now on start Smart SDR first then Logger .? I also changed? the radio setup from Power SDR to Smart SDR..
Thanks Bob I enabled the Error Trapping.
Lets roll and see how it goes.
Thanks to all.

Hi Bob,
Even ham band markers would be nice.

Hi Bob, thanks to your advice I solved
I set bands & mode between 5.354 and 5.360 and now everything works.
THANKS AGAIN !

I don't know how you have Logger32 configured, but when Logging FT8 QSOs?from JTDX, the FREQ_TX field is logged as VFO + Tx audio. So, your VFO frequency? was less than 5357.? Try setting the USB segment of your BandPlan to start 5354.
?
Or something like that. SeventyThree(s).

The error message is from Logger32. It is trying to modify a QSO in the logbook. If the modified record is missing a callsign, a band, or mode, you will see this message, and the logbook entry is not modified. In American, that's known as CYA. SeventyThree(s).

Hi Bob,?
this is my setup Bands & modes
I don't think the issue comes from Logger32 (qsos on 60 meters are recorded correctly) but from Rick's software N2AMG
But I'm not an expert in software and any suggestions are highly appreciated
