[EXTERNAL] [N0GSGContactManagerSupport] Filter out a "Continent" - OR - "Country"

 

开云体育

Hello Barry,

The current release of this product doesn't have the ability to filter out specific countries or regions.

The best approach to getting the query you want is to simply build a list of what regions you want included in the Compound Query box. Contact Manager will retain this setting between program sessions, by the way, so that you only need enter it once.

Best,
Tom

My anytone 868 has 200K digital contact storage. ?
If I can filter out "Asia Pacific" that would update 187986 contacts. ?I would lose 14,480 contacts.
Since the digital contacts are coming from radioed.net where that region can be unselected I would hope that N0GSG has that capably.

I was able to enter a single Callsign which was found. ?

When I entered a?Continent "Europe", no matches were found.

Barry,

The databases do not contain a continent field, so that approach, while logical, will fail.

Try assembling a union of items that are in the databases - this might be tedious the first time you set it up. For example:


I heard that Transylvania is a new DXCC entity by the way, so be the first to work it!

Best,
Tom

Thanks Tom,

At www.radioid.net I selected Generator then Formats and then "Continents/Countries/States ..". ?I then selected all the Continents w/e of "Asia Pacific. ?That gave me ?187,999 contacts. ?I then went thru the list of all those not selected and added some DXCC to bring up the contacts to around 194,000. ?I then proceeded to copied the table and paste it into Notepad. ?I removed everything that was not checked from the list and a little cleanup. ?

I then copied that into your program "Additional Search Information", ?Selected "Add All Records" and "Done Searching" ?I now have 194,013 digital records.
That took about 90 minutes including some testing to make sure the technique would work.

It would be nice if you could add a table to your program that would allow a graphic selection in the Generator as in radioed.net that would then format the selection and populate the "Search Information.

ALSO when "Save Codeplug File is selected, ?it overwrites the same dcf file that was loaded. I had to make a copy of the dcf file that CPS created before loading it.

I just use ?I only select the English speaking countries, last time was about 78k, takes about 3 min and done,, its $12 a year for the sight use and it is already in the format you want for the display well worth it.

Barry - Wow, you worked hard at that! Perhaps this is a good thing to look at in a future release. You can use File->Save As. . . to save open codeplugs to a new file without manually copying them (or press the [F12] as in other wondoze software).

Lee's approach also looks slick as well.

Food for thought!

Best,
Tom

The text in the "Additional Search Information" field can be saved in a TXT file (or wherever you like to save such things) for reuse. Copy it out of the TXT file and paste into that window. That way you can save different search criteria...useful if you support different radios with different storage capacities or support other hams/teams with different preferences
