[Logic] LOGic7 - Icom enhancements, prefix & lists

Tue, 13 Jan 2004 10:14:16 -0500

Hi--

LOGic 7 doesn't select a rig based on frequency.  I don't see how 
you could select a rig based on frequency, since the rigs are the 
sorce of the frequencies to begin with.  A rig is still tied to a log 
form.  I suppose we could select the rig based on the last rig to 
have the VFO or mode changed using the front panel.  Something 
to think about I suppose.

For exceptions in the prefix table, you may simply enter the call in 
with the list of prefixes--no change here--it's been that way since at 
least LOGic 5.  

The Lists of Valid Values, besides having a new navigation feature, 
has changed significantly in that it is no longer used to keep 
membership lists such as 1010, etc.  They have been moved to a 
new Memberships facility, and auto logging of 1010 number, etc is 
done from that new facility.  Tracking of awards progress for 1010 
etc is still in the lists table--in other words, LOGic will generate an 
automatic entry here for each 1010 WORKED.

If any questions or comments pse contact me directly.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY
