Mike,
I understand. A few things work interestingly with ft8 autosave.
When I turn on the device, the first connection says twice that it has been logged. Actually once.
If the double logging is not visible on the display, it is worth pressing the manual log entry, because it is not in the log.
It only does this the first time you turn it on.
Before that, I look at the log file, close it, and then leave until the data is in the LOG window on the GTK screen.
It happens that you end the connection earlier and then delete it from the LOG window. You have to pay attention to the operation.
So for the first QSO, I always press a PrtSc i.e. Print Screen button, you can find the picture in the /home/pi folder.
Because if you don't save it in the log file, then I have data for later input.
I'm writing these things because that's what I'm currently doing in order to function well.
There are more things, but so far no one has responded to my entries. Everything remains the same.
