[PaQSO] N1MM Logger program information for the PA QSO Party

[John Bednar]

Make sure you are not using an old program version.

The Manual index is available from the Entry window Help menu. 

Logging county line stations, operating from county lines, and Rover/Mobile
support is explained in this section of the manual. This is function in both
the legacy and Logger+ programs.

Make sure you take advantage of the county line QSO entry to save time when
logging county line stations. Based on previous communications from Mike,
County Line station QSO's can have the same serial number. When you
configure the program to operate from a county line, there is a program
prompt for serial numbers.

A Call History file is available at the link below.

If you are using USB ports, make sure you disable the Windows power down of
the USB port. You also want to disable Windows Sleep and Hibernate if they
are enabled and you will be away from the computer.

 

N1MM Logger+

- Make sure you are using the latest program version (October 9). There
hasn't been a PA QSO Party change for weeks but we have been improving the
program code daily.

- Users can open a separate Multiplier window for Counties and Sections. If
you want to see all multiplier abbreviations, right click in the window and
uncheck "Show Only Worked & Expected to be Worked Mults". 

 - The Available window has right click options to configure the bands shown
in the Summary Table and filtering options. The multiplier column order can
be changed by dragging the column title. Users can hide a column by changing
the width to zero. The sort order can be change by single clicking on the
title. Users can yank spots out of the Available window with Alt+A  and
ALT+Shift+A.

- The Entry window has a right click menu to set the Bands shown in the Band
Panel. The Contest dialog Mode Category selection will determine how many
modes are displayed in the Band Panel. To display digital modes, select
Mixed+Digital. The right click menu allows users to disable sections of the
Entry window display.

- The Check window has a reverse call lookup pane. Entering a partial
exchange and/or callsign in the Entry Window will check the log and call
history and display possible matches. There are right click options for the
Check window. I would set the Reverse Lookup Threshold to 2.

- The little double headed arrows shown in most windows are used to change
the font size. If you find that the menus or titles do not align, set the
Windows display magnification to 100%. 

- The window colors, fonts, skins, and other items are set using the Config,
Manage Skins Colors menu.

- The frequency band plans that are used to determine the spot mode are
dynamically adjustable by right clicking on the Bandmap frequency bar.

- The spots shown in the Telnet window are color coded by mode. Gray spots
are those that are filtered by the Telnet filter options. These spots are
not sent to the other window displays. Notice there is a tab to add a spot
to all outgoing telnet spots.

- QSO editing can be done by double-clicking on the element that needs to be
changed in the Log window.
