Hi All,

?

I've been working on some AC Log enhancements and I would really appreciate having some beta testers?give the new code a shake down.? The new features are either rig or PC dependent, so the more input the better.? Here are the new features?that I would like you to test:

?

?

For the small percentage of users where the "Timer" CW option is not precise, I'm working?on alternative timing options.? I have rewritten the code for the "Loop" option and also added a "Sleep" option.? Please try all three options and let me know how they work.? Even if you only use my contesting software to send CW, please check the timing options in AC Log because I plan to use the same code in the contesting software too.

?

?

The spectrum and band maps will dynamically resize based on the frequencies of posted spots.? If you display the DX spots in List mode, the program will include the name of the country in the list and tell you whether you have it confirmed in your log or not.

?

Clicking on the?list (right or left click) on the main form will tune your rig to the spot frequency.? For rigs where guys have sent me the commands to change mode, your rig should also change to USB, LSB or CW automatically.? Supported rigs for the mode change?include:

?

- Elecraft

- Icom

- Kenwood

- Yaesu (only "standard" option has been tested.? All others require testing)

- Ten Tec Omni VI

?

If your rig is not listed, please send along the command strings to change your rig's mode.

?

From the main form you can press Ctrl G.? A form will appear to change bands and modes.

?

I have only tested the?DX spotting?features with Telnet here.? If you are set up with a TNC or the AGW packet engine, please let me know how it works out.

?

?

- You must be running AC Log version 2.6.? If you are not running 2.6, first download and install the program from .

?

- Close 2.6.

?

- Click this link to download the new .exe file:

?

?

- Save the file in c:\program files\aclog 2.6.

?

- After your start the program, if you have performed the above successfully the title will read:

?

N3FJP's Amateur Contact Log BETA 2.6 - 0.3.1.

?

Thanks in advance for giving the new code a good test run.? I'm looking forward to your comments and feedback.
