Hi Dennis,
I wanted to represent my experience with WSJT-X or JTDX data into Logic's mainform.
In reality it is necessary:
to first run the FT8 program in order to activate the CAT between radio and computer to display the frequency and to be able to transmit with the FT8 program.
Then execute the Logic which detects the error connection with the radio but this is irrelevant for general operations. The radio frequency in Logic will be displayed with all 0.
After an FT8 connection, Logic inserts the qso into the logbook filling in all the necessary fields by reading them in the ADIF file generated by the FT8 program.
At this point I would like to analyze the result obtained.
The procedure is equivalent to a real-time insertion but with some distinctions. The frequency is incorrect (e.g. 14.000000, 144.000000). Probably the conversion and updating of the logform refers only to the band (e.g. 20M, 2M) and not really to the reading of the ADIF file where the two data are regularly distinct, i.e. 2M and 144.175290.
The data relating to the four digits Locator is incorrectly defined in the 6 digit gridlocator field but I believe it must be recorded in the SRX field as well as the personal Locator instead in the STX field, because it is an EXCHANGE relationship such as RSTs and RSTr. I believe that the correct filling of the complete 6 digit gridlocator, with the XML update from QRZ, is compromised because the gridloacator field is found already occupied.
If this may interest you, I can explain how I solved the problem, obviously with exclusively manual operations, not knowing the art of programming. Certainly I try to do the best possible analysis of any problems that may occur in order to make the computer work more in my place. I attach some of my printscreen and the result of the automatic reading of the ADIF to compare the differences.
