[Dxbase] RE: Your 3 questions about QSL labels - from Joe WA6AXE

[Bob Brunius]

Joe,

When I log a QSO on a 3905 Century Club net I need to log the fact that it
is a net and whether it is a late net or an early net. Then on the QSL card
there needs to be a note of that information. At the beginning of the net I
have been turning on the contest option which has a note having the Net
details. So, how might I accomplish this with the tools that are there?


Thanks for the help on the FREQ vers MHZ. But now I notice that I have
another problem. All along my auto-fill from the ICOM 765 has been filling
the frequency field with KHz. That is a 160M freq shows something like
1893.13 and a 20M QSO is 14235.21. I have a lot of QSOs. So is there a way
to automatically remove 3 orders of magnitude from the frequency field by
doing a script? Perhaps directly in Access? Then the other question is how
do I get my auto fill from the transceiver to fill in MHz and not KHz?

Thanks
Bob

Subject: Your 3 questions about QSL labels - from Joe WA6AXE

Bob,

In regards to your 3 questions:

1) NO - there is no variable for the NOTES field of your logbook
         in the label designer module.  It is available in the
         List designer module. The NOTES field for the label
         designer has never been made available to the user. There
         has never been any need for it - up to this point. Jack,
         the owner of DXbase - would have to program this in to
         make it available. You would have to talk with Jack
         directly at  support at dxbase.com

2) The COMMENT field's words come from the User Options menu ..
     Go to - main menu - tools - options - user options - and
     select the Label TAB .. that is where you will find the
     "Label Comment" field.  Not what you are wanting to use though!

3) With regards to the 1.8 versus 1.95 -- if you select MHZ in
    the label designer module - you will get the 1.8 .. whereas,
    if you select FREQ (and you do have something in the FREQ
    column of your logbook), you will have available "that" FREQ
    field in it's entirety.


Hpe that this helps..
