N3FJP Software Timing Out
Scott,
This is a problem with my computer and not the software….I’m assuming. Just want to see if anyone else has experienced/fixed this issue.
I turned on the Spotting function a while back and it works fine. I suddenly began to see that when in FT8 I would click on a call in WSJTX and N3FJP will give me an error message “operation timed out” but as soon as I click “OK” the info for the QSO correctly populates in the log.
It’s just bothersome. Anyone else experience this? Again, probably some Windows thing maybe.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
KN4ULT
Paul

His issue was he had entries from the past that were not marked as uploaded. Those were from a different grid square. He is now importing his contacts and using upload selected instead of upload all not uploaded.

Or you can just have TQSL accept QTH info from the log and not worry about station locations.

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your follow up. If you already logged the QSOs with the correct grid square, there is no need to edit the QSO records in AC Log.
That message is being returned from ARRL's TQSL software, not AC Log, because you have not set up and selected the correct station location when signing and upload those specific records in TQSL. Lots more details and the needed steps to set up a TQSL station location for your additional grid square locations are on ARRL's web site here:

Hi Joel,
Thanks for your e-mail and the report.? I've not ever had a similar report and there haven't been any changes to the clear functionality in any of the software in over a decade.? I'm at a loss as to what may have occurred there.? 810 Qs here and all continued to work normally.
I'm sorry I don't have any insights for you.? Please let me know if any additional clues come to light.
Thanks for your kind words on the software!
Enjoy!

I did have one intermittent issue. Several times while I was hitting the space bar after typing a call, the fields would get wiped just as if I was hitting the escape key. I had the world map open and wondered if it was related to the map updating so I turned it off but still had the issue.

Re: Unable to upload CQ WPX Cabrillo file
Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply.
What do I do when the rig interface shows the frequency as it did - actual?frequency but divided by 100?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your e-mail.? I'm sorry that you ran into trouble.? When frequency is blank, it is gleaned from the band value.? Since you have a specific value, it sounds like you had rig interface enabled, but not configured properly.? Since 142 isn't in the ham bands, it would not have induced a band change in the software.
When exact frequency is not known, Cabrillo maps band to band to frequency as follows:
1800 or actual frequency in kHz 3500 or actual frequency in kHz 7000 or actual frequency in kHz 14000 or actual frequency in kHz 21000 or actual frequency in kHz 28000 or actual frequency in kHz You have a couple options including:
- Using a text editor such as Notepad, do a find and replace after you create the Cabrillo file, being sure to maintain Cabrillo specs. - Transfer the records to AC Log, do a bulk edit and transfer back. - Edit each record individually in the contest software, clearing out the errant data so that the frequency field is blank for each record.
Next time, make sure that you have rig interface functioning properly if enabled, or select None from the rig list.
Enjoy!

Re: Unable to upload CQ WPX Cabrillo file
I did notice that it was showing the frequency as .14279 (yes, frequency divided?by 100) and wasn't sure why - but I let it ride since it was otherwise working fine.? Since the band was ok, I just figured all would be ok.
Now the question becomes, how do I fix them all en?masse so I can upload a?Cabrillo file correctly?
I see Scott has replied - thanks, Scott! - so I will try his suggestions.

- What frequency do you see when

- It might be 14200 divided by 100

Has this happened before?
- I don't see a frequency listed

Hunt around and see what you might find.

Hi Scott,
?
This past weekend I decided to use your CQ WPX logging software instead of N1MM+. I’m strictly a search and pounce low hour contest operator. I found your software very enjoyable to use. It has all the features I need without being overly complicated.
?
I did have one intermittent issue. Several times while I was hitting the space bar after typing a call, the fields would get wiped just as if I was hitting the escape key. I had the world map open and wondered if it was related to the map updating so I turned it off but still had the issue. This happened probably 10 times during the weekend while accumulating 275 contacts. I didn’t miss out on any log contacts because of that but it was disconcerting when it happened.
