UTC Clock

 

Hello, new to this program and I really like it. My question is that the the clock is showing a time that does not reflect the correct time and not UTC. How can I change this in the program??


Thanks

Hi Richard,

If "correct time" means time in your local time, then you are right. Unfortunately, QLog currently does not display the time in local time, but in UTC time (all time values are in UTC). Everything about hamradio is given in UTC time, so I decided that it would be good to implement this in QLog as well.

From user's point of view, switching between UTC/local time is not a very good idea, because you would have to provide time zone data for all times and that would make the entire GUI confusing.

Ok thanks, I will look at it again this morning as it is showing ?AM and PM and not 24hr UTC. UTC is what I want otherwise the logging will not match when I submit them.?
 

oh well, you're talking about the 12/24 format. UTC is timezone. It doesn't define a time format.

In general QLog time/date format is controlled by OS Settings. It means that the QLog formats (time/date) are the same as your OS uses. If you don't like it, you can change it in the same way as changing the Language ().

In your case, for example, like this (even if it is a fact that you will have the data format in YYYY/MM/DD).

for Linux:
LC_TIME=en_ZA.UTF-8 ./qlog

for Windows:
SET LC_TIME=en_ZA.UTF-8
qlog.exe
 

OK, Thank you.
