Hi Bill,

Fldigi uses a TCP datagram to communicate with the logging software. The payload is an XMLRPC response and request. My logging software supports the following requests calls:

Log.list_methods - lists the supported methods

Log.add_record - Adds the ADIF data sent as a new record.

Log.get_record - Returns the ADIF record that matches certain fields (call, band, mode)

Log.update_record - merges the current record with the supplied record.

Log.check_dup - returns true, false or possible for the supplied ADIF record.

I can't remember where I got the specifications of these from apart from may be reverse engineering the Fldigi logging interface to fllog. I don't have an instance of fldigi on this machine otherwise I could look to see where the fields you need to enter in its config. There is a menu item to enable connection to the log server (which is what my logging app behaves as). I had a brief scan through the fldigi and fllog manuals but couldn't see anything.

Hope this helps a bit.

Subject: [winfldigi] callsign lookup in logging program #fldigi #Log4om

?

I am trying to find the link from Fldigi to logging programs that allows them to look up previous calls when a callsign is entered in Fldigi to start a QSO.? When used with DX Keeper as soon as you enter a callsign in Fldigi, DX Keeper and DxView look up the callsign.? When used with N3FJP the same process happens.? I am trying to duplicate this lookup with Log4OMv2 but I cannot find what is sending the data to the other programs.?

?

Does anyone have any idea where I can look, or how to do this set up?

?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
