Something has changed between JTALERT 2.50.7 and 2.50.8. After a QSO is concluded, logging causes Logic to crash.
After restarting Logic I can then manually use the longing window of WSJT-X to log the last QSO. This problem also
exists in all later updates to JTALERT including 2.50.9. I am currently running Logic 10.0.3 and WSJT-X 2.5.2.

Anyone else run into this.

Hi--

I understand that JTAlert monitors the ADIF file created by WSJT-X, just like LOGic does. Is this correct? Then there is no connection between JTAlert, and LOGic?

Do you get an error in LOGic? What does it say? If you take JTAlert out of the picture, does LOGic and WSJT-X then work?

I am guessing that JTAlert is locking the ADIF file and not allowing LOGic or anything else to share it. I would notify the JTAlert authors if you haven't already.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY

Shalom Dennis,
I am uploading one image (WSJT-X Logging Error.jpg) which shows the error message received from “Logic”.
Another 2 files:
(wsjtx_log - Error.ADI) which is the file used by WSJT
(Complete - Error.ADI) which is the file used by JTAlert
There are 3 entries that are included. The first is a QSO with S01WS which was logged successfully into Logic when using JTAlert v2.50.7. The last 2 were with SQ7BCB and were not recorded in Logic when using JTAlert v2.50.8.
I am using Logic v10.0.3 and WSJT-X v2.5.2.
I hope this helps you out.

I sent the following message to VK3AMA 6/12/2021 but have not had a reply:
Shalom Laurie,

I've been trying to figure out how to use Groups.io but I don't seem to be able to "break the code" on how to use it.
I am using "Logic" logging software for many years and it have been working smoothly logging FT-8 QSO's made on WSJT-X/ JTALERT.
However, when version 2.50.8 of JTALERT was installed, LOGIC crashed when writing the log entry. It is still a problem with 2.50.9.
I remember that to get Logic to work with WSJT-X/JTALERT, some special software implementation was required on LOGIC to make it compatible.
Something changed between 2.50.7 and 2.50.8 that directly effects how LOGIC interacts with WSJT-X/JTALERT.
Do you have any idea what that could be.
73,
Jim 4X1RU

Thanks!

Unfortunately the LOGic error doesn't tell us a lot. There might be something in the Windows event viewer.

I will install JTAlert and try to learn more. It will take a few days unfortunately.

How do the three programs interact? Why does JT-Alert have its own ADIF file? Why doesn't it use the same file that WSJT-X makes, which LOGic uses?

Tnx & 73,

Latest version of JTAlert (2.50.0) no longer causes Logic to crash when logging QSO's.

When I first tried JTAlert 2.51.0 it worked. The next day it was the same problem again. Still not out of the deep water.

Newest Version 2.51.2 still causing LOGic to crash

Last version that does not cause LOGic crash appears to be 2.50.7 (which is also the last version that was downloadable as either 64 or 32 bit versions)- https://hamapps.com/JTAlert/

Ok, I got around to checking this out again.

Several months ago I could reproduce the error and it showed an error in the Windows event log. However, I could not easily find any way to contact JT-Alert, and it got set aside, and life intervened.

I installed JT-Alert 2.51.5 (telling it I am using WSJT-X) and WSJT-X version 2.5.4. When I log a Q in WSJT-X, I get an error about the call not matching my partner, but LOGic logs the QSO without incident.

One other change--I am running Windows 11.

So, I will assume this is fixed until I hear differently.

Tnx & 73,

Hi--

Thanks for the info.

I checked my code.


// Windows FileSystemWatcher watches C:\Users\Dennis\AppData\Local\WSJT-X\wsjtx_log.adi. When data is added
// this is called.
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(_fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
// read the new data out of the file
}



It is opening the ADIF file for read-only access, and sharing for write.

Here is the documentation on FileShare.ReadWrite:
https://learn.microsoft....e?view=netframework-4.8

It says "Additional parameters may be required" but doesn't go into detail.

I suspect this is something I can't fix in LOGic. LOGic works with WSJT-X and other similar programs. It used to work with JTAlert. Is there ANY support for JTAlert? Is it open-source per chance? If we could see their code or see what they changed to break it....

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY

Hi--I am Dennis WN4AZY, author of the LOGic logging program. https://www.hosenose.com/

LOGic monitors the WSJT-X ADIF file to update it's own log, much as I imagine that JTAlert does. Starting with JTAlert version 2.50.8, saving a QSO in WSJT-X while JTAlert is running causes LOGic to abort with an IO error:

Application: LOGic.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.IOException

at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.CompletionStatusChanged(UInt32, UInt32, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped*)
at System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(UInt32, UInt32, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped*)

Here is my code:


// Windows FileSystemWatcher watches C:\Users\Dennis\AppData\Local\WSJT-X\wsjtx_log.adi. When data is added
// this is called.

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(_fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
// read the new data out of the file and process it
}


What could have happened between 2.50.7 & 2.50.8 to cause the problem with LOGic? Could you check that JTAlert opens the file for shared access? Any ideas for anything I could try?

Here is the discussion if the issue on our forum.

Here is his reply:

https://hamapps.groups.i...tid=1675610906915182128

Note that he says that he DOES read the ADIF file during startup. If that is the case, then starting JTAlert before LOGic should fix the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

Quote:
You're mistaken. JTAlert does not open the the WSJTX adif file. All JTAlert interaction is via the WSJTX UDP interface. The only time JTAlert opens a WSJTX file for reading is during startup for a one-time read of the WSJTX config file to determine UDP settings.

Been using JTAlert and WSJTX with Logic ever since Logic could read the WSJTX log without any problems.
I run two WSJTX and JTAlerts applications with my two panadapters.
In Log Form Setup, under Auto ADIF Logging I select C:\Users\username\Appdata\Local\WSJT-X-SDR-A\wsjtx_log.adi and C:\Users\username\Appdata\Local\WSJT-X-SDR-B\wsjtx_log.adi.

But before that setup I used C:\Users\username\Appdata\Local\WSJT-X\wsjtx_log.adi running only one WSJTX application and JTAlert stand alone.

Try it!

K8ZT found the problem (Thank you!)

LOGic was set to monitor the JTAlert log file. This causes the error. If LOGic is set to monitor the WSJT-X log file, everything works.

In other words, when installing JTAlert, don't change anything in LOGic.

Many thanks to K8ZT!

Tnx & 73,
