Hi Dean,

Thanks for revisiting ccRemote. I have some suggestions and problem

reports.

Suggestions:

1) Add a duplicate of the Equipment Used block from the Logger's Contact

Edit screen to the Common Information block in ccRemote. Dropdowns for
equipment would help with consistency. Currently, there is no way to enter
Power, and when I load remote contacts I always forget to change the
default power so that I don't get 400W for mobile contacts.

2) Along with the above, maybe adding the Station Information block from

the Contact Edit screen would be handy, too. I think you said in a previous
message that you thought that ccRemote would be used on a mobile or
portable computer independently of the Logger. I have never tried to do
this, I always install the Logger to get ccRemote and use a backup file to
load my personal data into the remote computer's database.

2) It would be nice to have a way of entering band/mode info for contacts

made outside of our nets, say for Field Day or other events. Maybe
selecting Other for Net causes three text boxes or dropdowns to appear so
that an event name may be entered for Net Name along with the associated
band/mode. Alternatively, if we could edit the Net table from within the
Logger, we could add our own "nets" like "Field Day 20M SSB." Selecting
this from the Net dropdown would put "Field Day" into Net Name and 20M and
SSB into their respective fields.

3) Whatever you do, don't alter the behavior of the contact-adding

process. Currently, when one starts from the Call Sign field, it is
possible to navigate through the entire process using the keyboard alone,
with the Return key stepping into or and/or skipping fields. Then, when the
Add Contact button is activated with Return, the fields are cleared and the
cursor returns to the Call Sign field. No reaching for the mouse. Those of
us who knew about character-based data entry screens from the old days
appreciate this. This knowledge appears to be disappearing from the
computer world. Kids today.

Problems:

1) When using the Delete Remote Contacts button, or just manually

deleting all existing contacts, I am never able to successfully add new
contacts, even when closing and restarting ccRemote. The workaround that I
found is to manually jam a dummy contact in the lower pane by simply
filling basic data into the first displayed line. I then double-click the
line to bring up the Edit screen and click on the Save button. Then, after
adding one or more new contacts, I am able to delete the dummy and all is
well.

2) Apparently, there are required fields in the Common Information pane.

You might add asterisks to these. Maybe for the contact info as well.

3) Just a quibble: if any of the terms like /YL are entered into the

remarks field, the entire field is UPPER CASED. To avoid this, I just edit
the contact after adding, rather than use the code.

4) When loading the remote contacts into the Logger, there is no

indication that the process has completed. A little popup might help.

That's all I can think of now.

Thanks again,
RJ, NA0L

I am in the process of cleaning up some issues in the ccLogRemote

utility

and looking for suggestions for improvements. If you are not aware of

this

utility it can be used to quickly add contacts to your log.
