 HI Joop,
 
 Are people sending to my kb1...@arrl.net email address and receiving this

 they're blocking my email from SourceForge, too.

[Xlog-discussion] new xlog maintainer: Andy Stewart

2012-10-25 Thread Joop Stakenborg

Hello,

I am happy to announce that Andy Stewart KB1OIQ will take over xlog 
maintenance. Andy has a fair amount of experience both in programming 
and linux distributions. He is also founder and president of two local 
linux user groups and an active ham.


Andy has shown interest in taking xlog further. Quoting from one of his 
emails:


I would like to see xlog survive in its current form, with bug fixes and 
updates as needed. I think there is plenty of room in the ham radio 
community for a more casual logger (xlog) 


I hope you will all support Andy and keep xlog alive. I will do as much 
as I can to get Andy going. I will step back, since I pretty much lost 
interest in programming, sorry about that. My thanks goes to Andy and I 
hope to see you all on the air!


Regards,
Joop PG4I

[Xlog-discussion] xlog-2.0.5 released

2011-02-23 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Hi people,

I have squashed most of the bugs which where reported on the savannah
project page. This release also adds patches from Gentoo and Ubuntu.
Download from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xlog
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xlog/ (you may need to wait
for your mirror to catch up).


Here is a the full changelog:

- Changes for xlog version 2.0.5 - 2011/02/23
  * Swedish translations updated by Peter, SM4ABE
  * 2 patches from the Gentoo repository:
ADIF field should be named TX_PWR instead of TX_POWER.
Xlog now exports the QSLIN and QSLOUT fields.
Thanks to Tom DL1JBE.
  * When printing the log, the last QSO would not print. This has been
fixed. Reported by Bruce, WB0GAG (fixes bug #29941).
  * Make sure the '~' macro for the keyer does not crash xlog when there is
no log open.
  * Fix a crash when hitting enter in the RX(RST) field when the keyer is
active, see Ubuntu bug #608718. Also, the QSO is now added to the log
correctly (fixes bug #27888).
  * Update some GTK Calls with newer calls which have become
deprecated since version 2.20. Patch by Charles AA1VS, thanks!
Done the same for GTK version 2.22. This means you need at least version
2.18 of GTK+ to compile xlog.
  * Fixed ADIF file corruption when a non-ham frequency is filled in.
Reported by Pierfrancesco, IK5PVX (fixes bug #29122).
  * Done some work on type and find. Xlog would look up a callsign with
every
key pressed. This has a disadvantage as Graeme, ZL2APV, has pointed out.
Suppose we log AH6V which is already in our logs, xlog will fill in name
and QTH. But if we want to log AH6VA, the same name and QTH will appear,
xlog will stop after the 'V'. The new behaviour is much better. Lookup
will be activated when the callsign field loses focus, so after using
the TAB key or clicking the mouse somewhere else (fixes bug #27477).
  * When there is no log open and another application wants to send data to
xlog, the warning dialog with No log open while receiving remote data
will be displayed only once, so we don't block the gui (fixes bug
#31635).
  * Changing the name of the free fields in the log now updates the column
names in all the logs which are opened (fixes bug #27251).
  * To speed up logging, typing ENTER in the callsign field will jump
to the
TX(RST) field. Suggested by Graeme, ZL2APV.
  * cty.dat updated to version 20110121.

Joop PG4I

On Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:04:48 +1300, Graeme wrote:

Hi Joop,

 Thanks for looking at this. A few comments to help you decide the
best approach to the problem:

 At present as each character is typed in for a call, a name and qth
lookup occurs if the name and qth fields are blank which of course
means that if you are entering say zl2cde and zl2cd exists then the
name and qth will be filled in as this is entered and the lookup will
fail when the e is entered.

 Two approaches (possibly more) can be made:
 1. Don't do a lookup until {Enter} or {Tab} are keyed or the call
edit box is exited.
 2. On each key stroke, erase the name and qth edit boxes and let the
lookup occur in the normal way.

 Unfortunately this will introduce another problem:

 If you have recorded zl2cd as the call and missed the last letter of
what was really zl2cde due to qrm etc. and record the name and qth 
and

later in the qso realise that there is an error in the call and fix
it, amending the call will erase the correct name and qth you have
already recorded.

 Possibly using {tab} to exit the call edit box could allow you to
exit without doing a lookup and any other method does a lookup.

 Sorry I don't have a solution but at least I have flagged some of
the problems.

 73 Graeme ZL2APV


Wo, sounds like a though one Graeme! Thanks for explaining things.
Can I send you a patch when I have found a solution? In other words,
do you know how to compile source code and apply patches?

Thanks,

 Hi,
 I've been away for awhile and am kind of rusty with installing programs

 updates.
 I used to run Xlog 1.** with no problems. Any suggestions will be

Hi Stew,

it helps if you send the exact errors in the next mail (a copy/past
from your terminal). Recursive errors doesn't tell me much.

Also, please describe how you install xlog.

 Also, is XDX still being supported?


Yes, but only bugfixes, no new features. The next version of xlog
will have an integrated dx-cluster client. Because my time is limited,
xdx will eventually be phased out.

 This does not work.  The buttons appear, but only the default values

Don't fill in any default values when you want to use hamlib.
The default values will always overwrite current values.

[Xlog-discussion] people wanted for the xlog test team

2009-08-17 Thread Joop Stakenborg
I am looking for people who want to test CVS versions of xlog. This will
give you to opportunity to see what future versions of xlog will be like.
You may also suggest improvements and changes for the upcoming version.
Coordination of the test team will be through private email.

You will need experience with compiling source code. Measures have been
taken to avoid the loss of QSO data, the CVS version now uses a separate
configuration directory. 

Please send me a private e-mail if you would like to join. You will have
time until Friday evening 23.59 UTC to respond.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog project changes

2009-08-01 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Now that we have more people working on xlog, I have moved all of the
parts of the xlog project to savannah. Here are some URL's:

Homepage: http://www.nongnu.org/xlog/
Download: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/xlog

You are encouraged to use the bugs, patch and task manager at the
project page: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xlog , but sending
bugs, comments and suggestions to the mailing list will also work of
course ;-)

The task manager will become an important tool for tracking and
coordinating xlog development.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog-2.0.3 released

2009-07-17 Thread Joop Stakenborg
This is an important bugfix release, here's the changelog:

  * xlog will now display an exit confirmation dialog whenever you want
to
exit the program.
  * This release fixes crashes when the function keys are used for the
keyer.
Thanks Jack, AK7O for reporting.
  * Remote logging now adds a ?: string, which is used by eepkeyer
written
by Mike K6EEP, see http://www.hamsoftware.org. You will have to set
add data to QSO frame in the first page of the preferences dialog.
Eepkeyer now wil send one character at a time for the callsign,
which
can be used for dupe checking. Patch by Mike, K6EEP.
  * When bands are removed or added from the scoring window through
Settings
- Dialogs and Window, the scoring window will now get updated
correctly. Reported by Ron, W6FM.
  * Dupe checking did not work when checking against other bands. This
has
been fixed.
  * A new tool has been added. When Tools - Find unknown countries is
selected, xlog will show a list of contacts for which DXCC lookup
fails.
You can then correct this by using a DXCC- string in the awards
column.
  * There were several minor bugfixes.
  * cty.dat updated to cty-1912.

I have uploaded the source to
http://pg4i.chronos.org.uk/download/xlog-2.0.3.tar.gz
Debian packages and WIN32 executable will follow later this week.

Thanks for the report Jack and sorry for the delay. It looks like xlog
is crashing. If you start xlog from a console, do you see any output on

[Xlog-discussion] a fix for bearing and azimuth errors in 2.0.1

2009-05-06 Thread Joop Stakenborg
The attached diff fixes the errors reported by Dana. It appears the N/S
E/W options in the preferences dialog were not saved correctly. Also,
changing the locator field in the same dialog would enter incorrect
values for latitude /longitude because the minus sign needs to be
ignored.

This diff needs a clean xlog-2.0.1 source tree. After recompiling and
installing xlog check your location, especially the N/S and E/W options.

I will release an updated xlog version (2.0.2) for this bug in about 2
weeks time.

Re: [Xlog-discussion] Azimuth Error in Xlog

2009-05-05 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Op maandag 04-05-2009 om 11:01 uur [tijdzone -0600], schreef Dana Rees:
 Thank you for the response.  I quickly check the hamlib qrb function and 
 found that it was working properly, so I tracked down in the xlog code where 
 it was being called in gc.c and found on line 61 and 62 the following:
 
 /* data in cty.dat uses a negative number for eastern longitudes */
 retcode = qrb (lonmy, latmy, -1 * londx, latdx, distsp, bsp);
 
 When checking the values of lonmy and londx, it lonmy had the wrong sign, 
 needing to be negated also.  This may be a function of something upstream, 
 but with that change, gridsquare information in preferences looks correct, 
 and azimuth and distance appear correctly.
 
 updated code and looks like:
 
 /* data in cty.dat uses a negative number for eastern longitudes */
 retcode = qrb ((-1.0 * lonmy), latmy, (-1.0 * londx), latdx, distsp, bsp);
 
 Thank you  73.

Thanks Dana,

with your modification I seem to be getting wrong values for locations
west of greenwich. So I guess it needs a bit more investigation. I will
come up with a solution within the next few days/weeks.

Re: [Xlog-discussion] ADIF-Import Problems

Matthes:
 Hi everyone,
 
 can someone give me a hint on an import-problem into xlog version 2.0.1 
 running on a 
 Debian/GNU-Linux (squeeze) System, AMD-64 Machine. I have converted my old 
 Logbook to ADIF-Format 
 (about 2000 records) and try to import that into xlog. Somehow I discovered 
 that some fields are 
 just not imported, no matter what.
 
 So I created a test-log in xlog with just one entry (record) and exported 
 that to ADIF. Closing the 
 test-log and then trying to re-import the exported file shows the same 
 behaviour: The 
 fields TX-POWER, OWN-QTH and RIG are always left empty! On my own 
 converted data, even more 
 fields are left empty. No idea what's going on!
 
 Below is the exported ADIF-file. Would appreciate some advice!
 
 Thanks in advance, 73's from SW-Germany

Hello Juergen,

the answer is simple. xlog will only import ADIF data for fields which
are present in xlog.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog-2.0 released

2009-02-10 Thread Joop Stakenborg
This release fixes some important bugs and updates all of the language
translations. Upgrade is recommended.

Changelog at http://pg4i.chronos.org.uk/linux/xlog.changelog

Download at http://pg4i.chronos.org.uk/download/xlog-2.0.tar.gz
(size 11 Megabyte)

Win32 NOTE:
* A first win32 binary release is distributed, which lacks the 
  following:
  - There is no data exchange with other applications.
  - Printing has been disabled.
  - There is no keyer available.
Reports are very welcome, especially about the hamlib functionality. I
don't own a windows OS, the binary was tested on linux/wine, so YMMV.

See http://pg4i.chronos.org.uk/download/xlog2.0-setup.exe

 Hello,
 I've just noticed that if I include a newline in the remarks/comment
 field in fldigi, xlog will happily include the newline as it is,
 instead of escaping it somehow. Hence, when you close and reopen the
 log, it will not read log lines after the offending one. 
 Xlog should sanitize log entries received over the pipe. 
 

Okay, see why does fldigi include newlines in log entries? I think there
is enough reason to not include them...

Anyway, I will fix it in the upcoming 2.0 release, because it is an easy
fix ;-)

Thanks for the report!

The --with-included-gettext needs a intl directory in the xlog source

for it. So you should not use this flag I guess, but depend on the
external gettext support. Can you please try building without
with-included-gettext?

 checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
 checking whether to use NLS... no

 Most peculiar. It's definitely there:
 
 pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8
 /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 was installed by package gettext-0.17_1
 
 Anyway, I shall hold off updating the port until we've decided one way or

 all looks fine except the locator map that crashes the program, same

 something related to my setup: I downloaded the dsc, diff and

 changing anything. 
 The crash happens as soon as I try to narrow down the locator map to a
 single band. I have the scoring and the qso before windows open,
 together with the main log window. 
 

Hello Pierfrancesco,

the same problem has been reported by Boris 4Z5ST. However, I can't
reproduce it, xlog does not crash here. So it is impossible to debug
this. Boris send me a couple of gdb backtraces, there was nothing useful
in the output.

 Full strace output at http://snoopy.tippete.net/~ik5pvx/xlog.trace.gz
 

This does not tell me mucht other than a crash appearing just after

It might be helpful if you could narrow the bug down. For example of you
start xlog with only one log open, or with a smaller log to see of the
crash still occurs.

That's what I tried with boris. Pages and pages of print outputs, but it
would never crash in the middle of a function. All of the functions
would exit nicely.

It definitely has something to do with redrawing of the map. I am
thinking about setting up a second partition and install ubuntu on that.

Will keep you informed.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog-1.9 released

2009-01-09 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Country maps have been added in 1.9!

The following release will be 2.0 and focuses on translation updates
(send them in), bugfixes and map updates. Let me know if any of the maps
need improvements!

Download: http://pg4i.chronos.org.uk/download/xlog-1.9.tar.gz
Sources are 11 Megabyte now, because of the added maps. Here is the full
changelog:

- Changes for xlog version 1.9 - 2009/01/09
  * Czech translation updates by Martin, OK1RR.
  * cty.dat has been updated to version 1817.
  * When doing a TSV export, records can now be sorted by DXCC and
callsign.
Sorting by callsign is especially useful for printing multiple QSO's
on one label when using glabels. Thanks Stephane, F8FCE.
You can determine how many QSO's per label are printed by changing
the TSV export settings in the Dialogs and Windows - export page.
  * Patch by Jon, LA4RT so xlog can send latin-1 character to cwdaemon.
  * xlog can now extract the version of cty.dat, it will be displayed
when showing the about dialog.
  * It is now possible to load logs by alphabet or by last modification
date, the setting for this is in the Logs page of the preferences
dialog. Thanks Pierfrancesco Caci, IK5PVX for suggesting.
  * The print dialog now adds a page where you can decide what columns
to print. Suggested by Ed, W3NR and Boris, 4Z5ST.
  * Ctrl-a is no longer used for adding a QSO. Instead, you should use
ctrl-w (write to log). This means ctrl-a (select all) is available
for selecting text in xlog's text entries. For closing a log, you
now need to use ctrl-shift-w. Thanks Len, WT6G for the idea.
  * The documentation has been moved to /usr/local/share/doc/xlog. The
glabels template has moved to /usr/local/share/doc/xlog/glabels.
  * Country maps have been added. Use Options-Country map to display
it.
  * A button next to the callsign entry has been added. When clicked it
will lookup the callsign with your internet browser on your
preferred server. The settings for this server is on the Info page
of the preferences dialog and takes the form
http://www.qrz.com/call, where call will be replaced with the
callsign. Suggested by Rob, KL7NA and Boris, 4Z5ST.
  * It is no longer possible to view scoring for an award when the
scoring window is not active.
  * A new macro has been added to the keyer. '~' stands for the last
exchange message received. It can be used in contests where you
forward the last exchange. The initial message can be set in page 2
if the preferences dialog. For more information read the manual.
Thanks Jon, LA4RT for the initial patch.

You must mean debug, not backtrace. Backtraces are only useful with
crashes.

You may have used the log-editor and removed the QSL column, that's the
only possibility. I never had this kind of report, so let's consider
this 'human failure'... ;-)

 Is it possible to add some more QSL info handling options like these:
 1. mass fill of QSL sent field.
 2. instead X in s/r use something like: B -buro, D - direct, E - eQSL, O 
 - other.
 3. probably make additional field for SWL conformation since  xLog can 
 handle different awards that counts SWL conformation.
 4. probably add QSL manipulation dialogue with these features.
 
 I think this may be useful.
 

Okay, all nice ideas but not very urgent. You could consider using one
of the free columns for QSL handling. I will add your stuff to the
version 2 todo's.

[Xlog-discussion] The problem with ctrl-a (suggestions?)

2008-12-09 Thread Joop Stakenborg
As you guys may know, ctrl-a is used by xlog to add a QSO to the log.
The problem with this is, the same key combination is also used by all
of the text entries on xlog, it means select all. You would for
example use it when copying text from one field to another (copy/paste):

ctrl-a - ctrl-c, move to another field, ctrl-v

Right now this does not work, ctrl-a will always add a QSO.
So I am thinking of changing Add QSO and use some other key
combination. Here are some thoughts:

Ctrl-i (short for Insert QSO, you may need 2 hands for this)

Ctrl-Shift-a (can be used with one fingerstroke, but may be to
complicated)

What do you think? Anyone have another suggestion?

Umina:
 Writelog uses Ctrl-w which might be Write QSO to move you to the QSO
 entry dialog.  
 This is easy to hit with your left hand.
 
 As you make an entry you can tab to the fields which works well.
 
 When you hit ENTER the QSO entry is transferred to the log.
 

Thanks Len!
ctrl-w seems like a good idea...

 A related feature I've tested is a hot key in the entry window which
 is the space bar.
 I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I wrote some logging software once
 and it worked really
 well.  Since nothing requires spaces except a comment field if you hit
 the space bar from 
 any field the software would clear all fields and abort the entry.
 After you get used to it
 its VERY fast - especially for search and pounce and pileups.
 
 You can enter the call into the form - if it comes up a dupe you hit
 space bar and its
 gone, resetting to a blank interface.  It needs to be active in all
 fields where space is not
 permitted - so if you start to copy part of a previous exchange you
 can abort as soon
 as you realize the callsign is a dupe.
 

Okay, sounds interesting. But also sounds a bit risky. Maybe I should
give it a try in one of the contests and see how it works.

 Tab and shift tab should move you between the entry fields.
 

Yes, that is how it works in xlog.

 Does anyone know if there is a way to use a USB LPT port for CW
 Keying?  I added
 one and I still get an error message from the cw deamon.That's my
 hangup right now.  My linux PC has no parallel port which is how I key
 with writelog.
 I'd very much like to get away from Windows completely.
 

Oh boy, the next best thing, USB LPT ports... ;-)
I guess it should have some kind device name. The USB serial ports are
called /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc. Maybe there is something similar
for LPT ports.

When you plug the device into the computer, do you see anything reported
in the system log when running linux (use dmesg for this)?

 1. add gray line
 2. add layers of locators, prefixes, CQ and ITU zones view?
 

Yes of course, this is for version 2.0 or later. It would help if you
know any freely available maps without copyright. Drawing my own maps is
to much work. The next version (1.9) will have contry maps added. Most
of these maps come from the CIA world fact book because they are free.

Re: [Xlog-discussion] cwdaemon and ptt

Couper:
 I was using xlog this last weekend in CQWW, and for the first time had tried 
 to get ptt going, as I have always used a foot switch instead.
 
 I know that my serial port interface, as shown in the docs, is working OK. 
 The keyer works fine, and the ptt function works fine in other applications. 
 But with cwdaemon, I find that when a message is sent, the ptt turns on only 
 for a brief instant and turns off again, even though the message is still 
 being sent. If the ptt delay parameter is set to 50ms, then ptt will stay on 
 for the first word of an Fn message (if it is at high speed). If I type in 
 the keyer window, the ptt clicks on very briefly with each keypress, but does 
 not stay on long enough to actually encompass a character such as 0.
 
 I tried using tlf, which allows the use of the ALT-P command to toggle the 
 ptt. If I hit ALT-P during a message, the ptt stays on while the message is 
 sent. Hitting ALT-P again turns it off.
 
 So this ptt behavior seems to be in cwdaemon, and it isn't useful as it 
 stands.  Does anyone else see this? I am not sure what the intended behavior 
 is.

Hoi Al,

sorry for the late reply.
It looks like PTT isn't working at all (* anyone on the list that can
confirm this? *). When I programmed it, I did not have a setup available
that uses PTT. With my kenwood TS-870S I don't need it.

I looks like I need to have another look at the PTT code. Currently I am
a little hooked up on other projects, so I can't make any short-term
promises, sorry.

You could try the following things.

- Make sure you have a suitable paper size. See Log - Page setup from
the menu. You might want to try landscape.
- When doing the actual printing, select a suitable scale (0-100%) on
the second page of the print dialog, so the log fits on paper.

I believe this is also descibed in the handbook. Make sure you read it.

 Problems in portrait mode. also results differ between postscript and
 pdf mode.

 I would send example, but they are larger then 40k.

 seems like if some sequence in notes brakes lines or pages. Is it
 possible at all?


Well, in previous versions you could show/hide columns so the log would
fit on paper. Maybe I should start thinking about printing log entries
over multiple lines. This way we will always have space enough. Any
suggestions?

I will try to fix this issue for the next release.

Sounds like a good idea, but I will target it for the 2.0 release

I guess we need some kind of dialog for this. Maybe this dialog should

 Does anyone on the list use the Xlog keyer with the Orion? If so, I 
 could use some advice!
 
 Although the Orion manual refers to the Aux/IO jack as accepting CW 
 from an external keyer or computer generated CW (like the CW keying 
 output from popular contest logging software) using the computer sound 
 card, it looks as if Xlog's keyer works through the parallel or serial 
 ports, not the sound card.
 
 The Orion Programmer's Manual shows how its serial port is wired, and 
 cwdaemon provides a schematic for the computer's serial port (see 
 below), but I'm stuck here. The Orion's serial port shows this:  1, 
 N.C.; 2, Serial Data Out; 3, Serial Data In; 4, N.C.; 5, GND; 6, N.C.; 
 7, RTS (in); 8, CTS (out); 9, N.C.
 

Hi John,

you must be confused. Your orion's serial port should be used to
communicate with the PC's serial port through applications that use
hamlib (see http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/app.html for a list of
applications).

cwdaemon uses a serial or parallel port to switch the keyer input of
your transceiver, that's the jack where the straight key goes. In case
your transceiver does not transmit automatically when the key goes down,
a PTT switch is provided.

 Which of these corresponds to CW out to TRX and to PTT out toTRX on 
 the cwdaemon schematic? And will wiring the serial connection using this 
 circuit prevent hamlib from reading transceiver data?

 I realize having a URL that is hard coded into the program makes it very
 susceptible to changes webmasters make to things.  To get around this,
 we could have a preference setting that would allow you to construct a
 URL, where CALL would be replaced with the call of the station you are

 http://www.qrz.com/kl7na
 
 What do you all think of this idea?
 

Hello Rob,

sorry for the late reply, been out of the country. Your idea sounds

Hi Stewart,

Open a terminal window and become root using the 'su' command.

First of all, you need to uninstall your ubuntu xlog package by typing
'apt-get remove xlog' in a terminal. You don't want conflicting xlog
versions.

Next, install the packages needed for building xlog: 'apt-get install
build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libhamlib-dev'.

As a normal user unpack the xlog source tree (the tarball) somwhere in
your home directory: 'tar xvzf xlog-1.8.1.tar.gz' and follow the
instructions in the INSTALL file, unpacked in xlog-1.8.1/INSTALL.

Hi Joshua,

I have downloaded kpsk-1.2rc2, but it won't compile on my system. I have
checked the kpsk mailing lists to see if there is any activity, but they
only seem to contain spam.

I would like to suggest that you use gmfsk (works fine with xlog) or any
of the other digital modem programs. Since my development time is
limited I am ruluctant in supporting dead projects like kpsk.

Also, backtraces don't help me much without line numbers. After
compilation, start xlog from the xlog source tree when using gdb. 'gdb
src/xlog'. It would be nice to seen that the content of the message
buffer is in addtolog_or_qsoframe()... After the crash type: 'p entry'.

 Here is a minor issue, one that was momentarily confusing to me (v1.7):

 In Preferences - Hamlib, the last item says

 Round frequency to  -N- characters

 For my rig (TT Orion), what really happens is that the frequency display
 is rounded to 10^N Hz.  In fact, as N increases, the number of
 characters decreases.  It might be clearer to say something like

 Round frequency at digit -N- (0 = 1 Hz, 1 = 10 Hz, ...)

 Your tip for the day!

 On the user level,  I can imagine a button or menu item on the xlog 
 panel that says Add Special Remark (or some such).  It could bring up 
 a simple text box for you to type an arbitrary note.  Then a Save 
 button enters the text (with date/time) into the database.  (You choose 
 the db technology!) The New Special Remark pane could be an 
 alternative to the New QSO pane.
 

Sorry for the late reply, recovering from a flue attack.

Okay, but we already have a remarks field in the log which we could use
for this. I am thinking of using a special callsign (e.g. NOTE or TAG)
to tag a QSO for 'Special Remark'. This way we don't need to add an
extra field to the QSO Frame or an extra menu item.

 Now, how does the log viewer panel look with this feature?  It shows 
 QSOs as usual, but a special remark needs to show between QSOs, if not 
 in a separate pane for remarks.  It could be a text line that crosses 
 the usual QSO columns, and shows in a distinctive manner - italics, 
 green color, whatever.  It's probably enough to show the first text line 
 of the note.  If it is longer, you would select it for viewing bringing 
 up the full text entry/edit dialog, which would let you read, edit, or 
 delete the remark.
 

The QSO list is divided into a number of columns which can not be
altered once it is configured. You can add/delete columns (which the
log-editor does), but when displaying the list they have a fixed number
of columns. However, colorizing a QSO in the list is no problem.

We could display it when double-clicking the QSO in a special window,
but it would also be visible through the remarks field. The tagged QSO
would be ignored when doing an export.


 The remark entry wants to be keyed by creation date, most likely, and 
 should be sorted along with QSOs by date.  Nice, but not essential: an 
 ability to search on contents.
 

Okay, no problem.

 As you suggest, you could use a pop-up like word processors do.  You 
 could annotate a QSO and indicate by a colored flag or asterisk. (Or 
 possibly between QSOs.) Click on it and you can view, edit, or delete 
 the note.  The advantage is that it needs little screen space and it 
 minimizes the violence to your current layout. However, I'm not so much 
 interested in annotating a single QSO (although that could be useful) - 
 I want to say that I installed a new antenna, or something like that 
 that applies to many future QSOs.
 

Yes, I can see the reason for adding this. It would be quite helpful.

 Even though it sounds fairly simple, I know this might be some work.  I 
 just wanted to put the idea out there for consideration.
 

Thanks for the suggestion. Feel free to comment on my idea  for
implementing this into xlog.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog-1.7 released

2008-01-30 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Version 1.7 has been released, this release has been sponsored by
Stephane, F8FCE. We now have many more scoring possibilities added. here
is the ChangeLog:

  * Scroll to the last QSO when the log is automatically loaded and
there are more than 1000 QSO's. Thanks Jon LA4RT for reporting.
  * Display of the about dialog has been fixed.
  * TSV export for glabels has been fixed. The exported columns did not
match the ones in the 'Settings-Dialogs and Windows-export'
setting. Reported by John, K3GHH.
  * We no longer use tiny fonts for the remarks entry and when importing
logs. It is easier in the eyes. Reported by Hein, PA0NQ.
  * The info page of the preferences dialog now updates QRA locator when
latitude/longitude is changed and vice-versa.
  * Xlog now uses the functions provided by hamlib for calculating
distance and bearing.
  * The old behaviour has been restored when a DXCC country has been
confirmed, country worked count will be set to 0.
  * The same behaviour has been added for all the other awards, so if a 
country has been confirmed, the count is set to zero. Otherwise, the
number of countries will be displayed.
  * A new key combination has been added, Control-Shift-A will add a QSO
and fill in defaults for the next QSO. It is the same as using
Control-A followed by Control-k. This is especially useful in
contests. Requested by Dominique, HB9HLI.

  * The following changes by Stephane Fillod, F8FCE:
  * WAS, WAZ, IOTA and locator scoring have been added.
  * Xlog now knows how to import IOTA contest logs and fills in the
AWARDS field.
  * It does work also with any ARRL contest where the state is
exchanged.
  * EDI import is now capable of filling in BAND and POWER fields.
  * EDI import fixed when importing utf-8 dates.
  * EDI export: take into account the change of wwl() logic.
  * EDI export properly generates CRLF eol (according to official
format).

Download from http://pg4i.chronos.org.uk/download/xlog-1.7.tar.gz
Please send bug reports to the list, as I will be away for the next 10
days... The Debian package will need to wait until I'm back, sorry.

 I'm trying to create a new log, Log2008, and insert into it the 30 or so 
 QSOs I've made in calendar 2008 but entered in Log2007.
 
 What's the best way to do this? Is there a way to copy only selected 
 QSOs from one log to another?
 

Hi John,

Copy log2007.xlog to log2008.xlog then grab a text editor and delete all
of the QSO's you don't want. That's how I would do it. Just make sure
the header stays intact.

 I merged Log2008 and Log2007, but can't figure out how to delete all of 
 the QSOs that took place in 2007. I tried ADIF export (of only the 2008 
 QSOs) but the import into Log2008 didn't get all of my fields.

It's not that simple. Ctrl-k is uses for inserting defaults, clicking on
all of the available buttons in the QSO frame and retrieving information
from your rig. So it isn't used for defaults alone.

 Hi Joop!
 
 In discussion on www.cqham.ru about xlog people figured out some nice
 features that  might be very useful.
 
 I want ask if it's possible to implement some of them in future. 
 
 enable sending call sign from xDx to xlog

I want to do it the other way. xdx will ask xlog if a spotted callsign
is in the log and then colorize the dx-spot accordingly. For example
make new countries red.

 qrz.com lookup. probably integration with external program like
 callgit or use it's source.

Yes, this is a good idea. Several people have asked about this.

 integration or use of dxcc program (it returns dxcc info for call
 sign)

I don't see why this is helpful. xlog already uses cty.dat for DX
information.

 language select for name, QTH and REMARKS fields - some Russian and
 Israeli hams was interested in writing QSO data in native language
 (it's might be useful when you have to change tree or four different
 layouts). 


That's not possible i'm afraid. You should start xlog in a certain
language environment. There is no possibility for linux applications to
change language while the program is running. On the other hand, I am
not a language guru... ;-)

 feature to define custom scoring for different contests and awards.
 

This is planned for a future versions. It's a lot of work, but basically
I want to use some kind of template for defining awards or contests. 

 Great regards,
 Boris, 4Z5ST

Wilkerson Jr.:
 The log displays UTC for a QSO.
 
 How do you set UTC?  From what I can tell, it just uses system time.  In 
 order to actually get UTC time, you need to set your system clock to 
 UTC. Naturally, then this will mess up time stamps on files and such.
 

What distro do you have?

There should be a system administration tool to tell your OS whether you
have set the system clock to UTC or local timezone. Next, you need to
tell it in which timezone you are.

 Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is this a design flaw?
 

Please read you distro's documentation, or ask at some support forum or
mailing list if you can't find a solution. It is not a design flaw...

  * When using the bandoptionmenu the band would sometimes be truncated.
  * WAC scoring will now get updated when importing a log.
  * Include the old wwl code again because of license problems with the
new code.
  * All of xlog is now GPL version 3.

Hi Krister,

the compiled language file is
in /usr/local/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/xlog.mo, you need to replace
it with your own version.

In order to do so, use po/sv.po from the xlog source tree and read it
with either kbabel (KDE based) or gtranslator (GNOME based). Modify the
text inside kbabal/gtranslator and compile the sv.po file into a sv.gmo
message catalog. Copy this file to

Ewing - AA6E:
 Well, I upgraded to Fedora 8 mainly to try xlog 1.6.  (Bad move, but 
 that's a story for another day.)
 
 The good news.  Xlog compiles and installs correctly.
 
 First run gave a horrible crash dump.  After some head scratching, I 
 turned on my rig (Orion) and tried again.  All is well this time!  This 
 was a Hamlib/Orion problem. (I'm the HL Orion maintainer.)  It does not 
 seem to happen with other choices for rig type.  Although the software 
 turns to molasses if there's no response on the serial port.
 
 I am using Hamlib from CVS.  I found and fixed one problem -- invalid 
 return when get_info returns null.  Now xlog does not crash when the rig 
 is off, but xlog hangs up with a mostly uninitialized window until you 
 turn the rig on.  I'll look at it some more.  Maybe Hamlib itself should 
 have a better way to signal if there is no rig available. A non-blocking 
 serial read might be a good idea. And/or threads. ;-)
 

Glad you found it... In the past I had horrible crashes with hamlib when
I first experimented with the TS-870 code.

 (I'm running Fedora 8 - Linux 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP i686 athlon i386; 1 
 GB RAM; Athlon XP 2000+.)
 
 Here are some other comments, besides the start-up issue:
 
 1. Clicking Mode button produces mode setting correctly equal to Orion's 
 state for USB, CW (if Orion LCW or UCW), and FM.
 
 However, Orion's LSB - xlog USB;
 AM - (unrecognized - leaves mode unchanged);
 FSK - (unrecognized - leaves mode unchanged)

Looks like the hamlib modes are not correct. Can you please check with
rigctl? Use 'rigctl --list' to find your model number, next call rigctl
with the '-m' option and hit 'm' at the Rig command: prompt for every
mode.

 
 I would suggest that LSB should map to LSB at least, and recognizing AM 
 and FSK would be good as well.  What do the ADIF files want?
 
 2. Clicking Power button gives a result between 0 and 256.  Hamlib 
 returns a floating value between 0.0 and 1.0.  For a 100 watt rig like 
 mine, that should be 0 - 100 W of course.  Ideally, there would be a 
 preference setting for max. power that would be used to scale the 
 result.  In any case, 256 can't be right for most of us!
 

Okay, I need to check this. I have had a similar report a while back,
but I can't seem to find the bug. It works okay with my kenwood rig.

 3. (no great importance)  The S-meter scale does not correspond too well 
 with Hamlib's numbers.  Xlog's meter seems to have a long time constant, 
 and I haven't tried to calibrate it seriously.  But -6 dB (S8) from 
 Hamlib seems to give S9 on xlog's meter.  It seems to indicate 1 S-unit 
 high over the range I've checked.
 

Check the calbration table for your rig. It's inside the code for your
rig somewhere...

 Hope this helps!

I want to avoid having to spend hours of work when a new GTK+ version is
released. That's why I am trying to stay compatible with the latest
version. For your own sake... it is best to keep your distribution
updated. Newer is almost always better ;-)

I will post a workaround shortly.

Re: [Xlog-discussion] Xdx Operation Question

2007-07-19 Thread Joop Stakenborg
 Thanks Harry, et. al.,

 I'm a bit new to the packet cluster commands, so I'm still figuring out
 how to automatically connect.  The apropos seems to give commands I can
 do once I am connected.

 Unchecking the sound doesn't help me with the beeps (They still occur.),
 and turning off the system beep affects other programs that I would like
 to be able to beep me.  So while I learned a lot, and I have some work
 arounds, I'm still not there yet.


'unset beep' works okay here as a cluster command, see 'apropos beep'.

 Thanks again  73,

 Rob

Re: [Xlog-discussion] Date format error with Cabrillo import?

2007-01-26 Thread Joop Stakenborg

 Its one one the problems I had my backup logs Joop the spaces between
 report and contest serial number managed to get
 taken as an additional field and the qra field was lost.

Xlog doesn't really care about spaces. As long as the header is intact,
any information in the designated field is swallowed...

 Not a problem now as I've manually edited it, now the qra locator now
 produces distance and bearing, really great for VHF upwards
 what needs to be put in the locator field to allow a null entry ?
 leaving that field blank produces 6 digit numbers in the Azimuth and
 distance fields.


Sorry about this, I will have a look next week.

 Not a major problem just noting it, but it really is a useful feature,
 just entering the callsign gives me a bearing , if worked before,
 so I can get the dishes pointing in the right direction before qsy'ing


Will send you an updated source file to test.

 Thanks

 Dear xlog developers,
 
 first of all, many thanks for developing xlog, my favourite logging 
 program! I use xlog in combination with gmfsk, but also on its own (for 
 SSB contacts).
 
 When I export the xlog file to adif, I lose the information of the 
 frequency or band. The adi file has BAND:1? instead of BAND:22M. It is 
 easy to repair that with emacs, but I wonder if I have a broken xlog 
 installation or if the problem is a bug?
 

Yup, it's a bug. I just haven't though about adding 2 meters to ADIF export. I 
guess your 2 meter log in xlog shows something like: 144.320 for band 
information?

You can do 2 things:
Open the 'dialogs' window (ctrl+b). On the second page uncheck the ADIF option. 
Hopefully, xlog will now export to FREQ instead of BAND and your problems 
may be gone.

The second option is to change the source code. Somewhere around line 420 of 
src/logfile/adif.c add a line with:
case 144 ... 148: return 2M;
just after:
case 50 ... 54: return 6M;

recompile and re-install :)

I have been using shotcut keys myself in xlog. When a dialog pops up, take a

Re: [Xlog-discussion] design of the score window

2005-12-29 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Op wo, 28-12-2005 te 17:54 +0100, schreef Alexandru Csete:


 To begin with I think it is fine with one row.
 In the long run, however, I would love to have both split by mode and
 mixed/total, also for WAZ and WAC - I'm crazy about statistics. Maybe
 one could use a notebook with one page per mode and the front page
 showing the mixed mode.
 

That's a good idea. I was worried about space issues in the score
window, but when we use a notebook there is no problem at all!

 
  What about the number of bands, should 50 Mhz be included or even more 
  bands?
 
 I'm no VHF man yet but think people doing regular VHF/UHF are more
 interested in the number of grid squares rather than the number of
 DXCC countries worked. On the other hand, those doing EME and
 satellites may be interested in the number of countries as well.
 

Okay, maybe it's okay to include 50 MHz, but who will want to work 100
countries in 2 meters anyway... :-)
It would be better to add grid square statistics per band, so we should
add a list dedicated to VHF/UHF qso's.

 
  What about modes, should we add RTTY and more modes?
 
 For the upper list I would prefer to have the same list of modes as I
 have in the option menu for mode selection. Then there could be some
 standard fallback list for those who do not use the option menu for
 mode selection.
 

Have to think about this. There will be a configuration dialog for the
score window, so we don't really have to use the option menu strings.

  I guess the rows to be displayed could be made configurable (I would
  myself only be interested in CW contacts), do we want this?
 
 Of course :)
 Configurable options with clever default settings are always good but
 a lot of work for the author.
 

I might want to start out with a simple score window and go from there.
We can always add features with future releases.

 By the way, some time ago I have found a little misbehaviour in xlog.
 When opening many logs so that the notebook page titles do not fit in
 the window anymore, the window width is increased even beyond the
 screen limits. There is an alternative, which makes the notebook tabs
 scrollable that is when the titles become too wide  not all notebook
 pages are displayed, instead two small scrolling-arrows appear in the
 top corner of the notebook. It's done with
 gtk_notebook_set_scrollable.
 

Thanks for the hint. I will take a look at it.

 Looking forward to test the new statistics code. Let us know when
 there is something testable in CVS :)
 

Thanks for your comments!

[Xlog-discussion] design of the score window

2005-12-28 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Attached is a screenshot of the score window which will hopefully be added
to the next release. It keeps track of worked and confirmed DXCC countries
and CQ zones in the logs that are opened. I have also moved the DXCC and
locator frames to this window, so we have all information in one place.

Do we need just one DXCC row in the bottom-right list, or do we need
things like DXCC-CW, DXCC-SSB and DXCC-mixed?

What about the number of bands, should 50 Mhz be included or even more bands?

What about modes, should we add RTTY and more modes?

I guess the rows to be displayed could be made configurable (I would
myself only be interested in CW contacts), do we want this?

 In looking through the help file, I don't see any Award managment

Jlog does it. It is java based, so multi-platform, but without source code.
I am currently working on 1.4, which should add DXCC and WAZ awards
checking. Can't really say when it's ready though...

 Description:
 Clients from any OS could send their log data to xlog. This is a patch 
 to xlog that allows socket based connections from other computers to send 
 their 
 log data to xlog over the local network.  You would only have to run one 
 version of xlog.   This works in a similar fashion to the message queues 
 currently in xlog. 
 

Very nice Mike, I like the idea.

 Caveats:
 It is up to Joop to decide if he wants to use this code or not in future 
 releases of xlog. 
 People will have to write real clients to send the data over the network.
 
 Tell me what you think.  I am sure it's not perfect.  But it works.

I would rather not use theading at the expense of using twice the amount
of memory. I think there is a nice possibility in glib which doesn't
depend on threading and uses g_io_add_watch to monitor the socket. I
will send a patch to the list in a while, so you can try this.
