This version includes the following corrections/enhancements:
- IMPORTANT CORRECTION AND CHANGE: DX windows: Swisslog freezes in a high traffic scenario. A couple of changes related to mouse double clicking were needed to do in order to apply this important correction:
- Previously you could activate different actions by double clicking on a spot (default actions: Tune + turn antenna). NOW you have to press Alt + double click on a spot to perform these actions.
- Disabled maximizing a window by double clicking on the window title. Necessary to avoid “ghost” double clicks when lots of spots are entering in the DX windows. Use the maximize button when you need to maximize any window.
- VERY IMPORTANT: If you use Telnet connection, NEVER connect to a Reverse Beacon server! These servers are sending continuous spots overloading the DX window. Despite this fix, connecting to a Reverse Beacon server will cause Swisslog freezing or even crashing.
- NEW: Multiple instances of WSJT-X / JTDX / JS8Call and MSHV multislot support! Important changes have been made in the WSJT-X link so please read the following sections of the Digital Modes Interfaces chapter in the Swisslog help:
- WSJT-X / JTDX / MSHV / JS8Call UDP Settings
- WSJT-X / JTDX / MSHV / JS8Call Operation
- NEW: Support for OmniRig v2.1 (www.hb9ryz.ch/omnirig)! This version supports up to 4 transceivers and implements minimum polling interval of 20ms! Both OmniRig v1 and Omnirig v2 can be installed in parallel. In Options / Transceiver control check the option “Omnirig V2” to use this enhanced version. Please read the Transceiver Control chapter in the Swisslog help to get more details!
- NEW: HRDLOG ON AIR: Now you can enable Swisslog to send periodically to HRDLOG the frequency, mode and transceiver/antenna used to set the On Air flag. Go to Options / Online Logbooks / HRDLOG.
- NEW: Band maps: a new option has been added in the pop up menu to hide all dupe QSOs (dupes by band/mode).
- NEW: DX Alert window: now double clicking on an Alert, Swisslog will tune radio, turn antenna (if available) and add the alert to the QSO Entry window. Also the window will automatically scroll down to display always the latest alert.
- NEW: Membership panel: Added EURA EuroBureau QSL. QSL Action field will be set to “EUROQSL” if EURA member but not member of URE,URA,RCA,REF,eQSL and LoTW.
- NEW: Added CANADAWARD in the Region field for VE stations (Provinces and Territories).
- NEW: Reading from Callbook data: Now the VE State may be copied into the Region field automatically (if the Region field is checked in the Callbook options – Field copy instructions) to help handling the CANADAWARD statistic.
- NEW: QSO Entry and Statistics views: added field MY_OPCALL (Operator Call) to the Previous and New QSOs tab and Statistic views when double clicking on a cell.
- NEW: Register QSL Cards: Added the field QSL Card Nr. You can now enter directly your QSL Card Nr while registering QSL cards.
- Improved: Realtime saving in online services: the QSO saving procedure may took lot of time, more noticeable if saving QSO in several online services at once. Now it works faster even saving in all online services because multithreading is used.
- Corrected: Saving QSO: Access violation in oleaut32.dll. This happened sometimes when working again the same station and a new QTH should be added for the QSO partner. Thank you very much to Christian, HB9DBC for helping me to solve this important issue!
- Corrected: saving QSO: working again the same station and the proposed QTH name already existed on the list, caused losing new award info. Now a new QTH for the QSO partner will be created in the format: proposedname/n where n is a sequence number. i.e ML/1, ML/2 etc.
- Corrected: WSJT-X / JTDX Band Maps: improved band map response to display band activity from WSJT-X / JTDX.
- Corrected: WSJT-X / JTDX Band maps: continuous violation error messages. This happened if no DX window or Band maps were open.
- Corrected: WSJT-X / JTDX Band maps: clicking/double clicking in a call having the dupe sign (D), erased the (D) in the call until next decode.
- Corrected: WSJT-X / JTDX Band maps: band map is cleared when band or mode changes.
- Corrected: Quick View: no statistic info after entering references for the following awards: DCE,DEFE,DEE,DMVEA,EA puentes,DVGE,DMVE.
- Corrected: JTDX TCP link: FT4 QSOs were saved as MFSK mode.
- Corrected: QSO Entry: Field C_DXCC from the Callbook table was not set in many QSOs causing the sort key table to not calculate correctly the QSL Sort rules when printing QSL cards.
- Corrected: Flex Radio transceiver control: some users have experienced to not be able to type a callsign longer than 3 characters in the Add QSO window when using the Flex Radio.
- Corrected: Band definitions: Changed the High Frequency limit to 4000, 7300, 54000, 148000 and 450000 for 80m,40m,2m,6m and 70cm respectively to meet all IARU Region frequency limits.
- Corrected: LoTW/eQSL synch windows: some small cosmetic corrections.
- Corrected: Save backup: the Backup File full path was always set to the default folder (DBSave) even if user used another folder in the last backup. Now Swisslog will recall the latest folder and filename used.
- Corrected: DB error when editing a QSO having a QSL Manager with a portable callsign (i.e. EA3GCV/KH2).
- Corrected: using ARSVCOM as rotor control: if program was already running before starting Swisslog, a warning was released informing that ARSVCOM was already running. This was annoying and had no sense.
- Changed: WSJT-X / JTDX Band Maps: default statistic at first band map startup changed from DXCC to DXCC-DATA.
- Corrected: SFI field: SFI field was not set when saving QSOs from WSJT-X / JTDX / SIMPSK / DM780.
- Corrected: Japanese prefectures: statistic definitions changed to accept eQSL confirmations.
- Corrected: CW Skimmer: “Connection refused” error when activating Cw Skimmer with the CW button. Exiting Swisslog while connected to CW Skimmer caused Swisslog not starting again and a computer restart was needed.
- Added: Satellite list: added AISAT-1,BO-102, DO-64,JO-97, LO-78, NO-103, NO-104, PO-101, QO-100.
- Added: World map: added AS-206 in the IOTA layer.
- Updated: 30MDG, AGCW, ARLHS, BCA, CLUBLOG, CWOPS, DCE, DCI, DEE, DEFE, DERESP, DFCF, DIG, DME, DMVE, EA QRP, EPC, eQSL, FISTS, FOC, HSC, IOTA, LYNX, LOTW, MF, NDG, SKCC, SOTA, TBDXC, TEN TEN, URE, WCA and WFF statistics on 24/12/2019
- Updated country table. THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Erik, EI4KF.
