I was looking at qLog as a potential solution for me for a cross platform situation.? I bounce around devices I use to operate from.? I use Flex Radios so I am not having to directly link to radios an all, so I operate quite often from one of 4 devices (3 Macs and a windows laptop).? I would like to store my logfile in my dropbox folder so the logfile will follow me around between devices.? I don't see a way right off to specify the location of the log file(s).? On my Mac I honestly haven't been able to locate where it is stored.? Is there a way to specify where the data files are stored?

So far I really like the software although I have only spent a hour or so with it.? I like the filter options in the DXCluster.? I think many loggers really miss the mark with that.??

Attention MacOS users - CVE-2024-3094 (XZ backdoor)

 

Attention MacOS users:

QLog was affected by CVE-2024-3094 (XZ backdoor). I have prepared a new package that fixes this issue.

Please download from QLog releases section (QLog-0.34.0-2_MacOs_dmg.zip)



Re: Release 0.34

 

Hello Jose,

plase, see my response

If you want to play with the database, the database is stored in the same directory as the backup (). I would not recommend you to perform any changes in the internal database without knowledge of the internal processes in QLog.

Ladislav

Re: HRDlog On-Air message - Not sending

 

Hello Adam,

Unfortunately, I found an error that I had introduced there during the migration to the new Rig architecture. I will fix it.

HRDlog On-Air message - Not sending

 

Hi Ladislav

I must be doing something wrong. I have ticked the box here File¡ú Settings¡ú Sync & QSL¡ú HRDLog

The upload code has been included along with my call sign in the required fields. But I can not get the 'On Air" icon to show up on my QRZ page using the script generated from HRDlog.net site.

The feature works from LOG4OM. I must have misconstrued something in QLog (MS Windows 11 Version)?

Cheers

Hi

When a call sign is entered into the call sign field QLog reports the short path distance in the Info box. This information is sent to the rotator control panel. By clicking the "QSO" button in the rotator control panel, the antenna will rotate to the short path for that station.

Is it possible to offer both short path and long path options in the rotator control box as not every contact is via the short path?

Use blue or red which may work on both black and white themes. Black is a bad idea because expertsdr default background is black or dark Grey. .?

I thought about the integration of N1MM, but did not implement it because there are several things
1) As I wrote, currently I see no reason to receive messages from another log via another format that imports ADIF
2) Unfortunately, the N1MM UDP message format is not well-specified. There is a sample message, but it does not contain the specification of field values. With all respect to the N1MM authors, they have done a lot of work, probably most users cannot imagine how much work they have done, but when specifying the protocol, it is necessary to specify the field values as well. What does RadioInterfaced, IsRunQSO, etc. mean? What values can contain?
3) The N1MM UDP message contains only a very small amount of information.

Based on these points, I made a decision that QLog will not accept these N1MM online messages now.

Hi all,

Following from the previous thread and how to integrate N1MM by accepting UDP messages sent from that software to Qlog, I've been reviewing the Wiki and I can see the documentation for the "Notifications" option in the setup is to send out/forward udp packets from Qlog to other software.?
My doubt is, Is there a feature to listen to and parse inbound UDP packets? That is how other loggers integrate with different?software for qso logging purposes. Not just N1MM but JTAlert, GridTracker, JTDX/WSJT-X, all work that way (in some cases these other loggers also parse in real-time the third party log but I think UDP listeners are more convenient than log file parsing.?

For instance, I see there's an integration developed for WSJT-X that allows to see within Qlog stations calling CQ, but I'm not sure is that integration allows WSJT-X to log the QSO on Qlog once completed if the qso has been initiated and completed from WSJT-X and not from within Qlog.?

I think an important improvement that will increase Qlog adoption is the possibility to receive and parse different types of messages via UDP.?

Re: Problem with OmniRig V2.1

 

Dave,

a new installation package fixes the issue. You can find the package in the QLog's Release section.

just make sure the omnirig doesn't take too long to start. This can be achieved by reducing the number of loaded INI files. Otherwise, QLog reports that the connection to Rig cannot be established. You can also optimize it by starting Omnirig manually before QLog.

I hope it will work now.

I did some research and found out that this is a QLog issue. To be precise, it's not an issue in the source code, but it is an issue in the process of preparing the QLog package for Windows - I compiled it against the wrong version of the QT library on Windows platform.
