Hello Roger, You need to find the correct settings in the filter for "BAND". The options I have are: Length Band Indicators ------- ----------------- 3 160, 80, 40 2 16, 80, 40 2 Freq MHz 2 Freq KHz 4 160M, 10M lft 3 160, 10 lft 1 1=10, 2=15, 3=20 2 1=6, 2=10, 3=12 2 1=160, 2=80 You need to choose the option that matches your ASCII file. Make sure that you start and finish the field in the correct position. If the filter has a band length of 3 and is right aligned, then it expects 160 80 40 but if you have: 160 80 40 it will produce an error. If your ASCII file is in KHz, only 2 numbers are read. Here is an example: 14260 3504 1820 28500 21195 A filter with 2 characters will read this as: 14 3 1 28 21 However, if your ASCII file is left aligned, you will get errors as it would be trying to convert 14 35 18 28 21 Always import into a new file, and keep experimenting until you get it right. Then you may merge the file with your main log. I hope this helps, Martin ZL1ANJ
