I was able to see how the first 3 Expressions were written and use that info to create several more F-keys for CW. But one that I have not been about to create and keep getting errors from is when I try to make a key that goes something like this: " I AM RUNNING " + PWR + " WATTS " I've had success writing something like this without the + pwr + in the string. But I'd like to get the power I report using from the Pwr field of my log. I'm I'm barefoot, I usually just have it set for 100 watts, but running power it's either 400 or 500 watts. I've tried using + Log.pwr + too. I still get an error message and it always shuts LOGic down.

Any help with using the pwr field is appreciated.

Hi--

Try this:

" I AM RUNNING " + TRANS(PWR) + " WATTS "

PWR is a number, and you need to TRANSform it to character before you can concatenate.

Let me know if any questions.

Tnx for using LOGic.

I didn't get any errors with this string, but it didn't transpose the power I'm running for the PWR field in LOG. Do I need to create another field in LOG that has the TRANS(PWR) direct?

I don't know what "PWR is a number, and you need to TRANSform it to character before you can concatenate." I don't have any idea how to "concatenate" a string of whatever to get it to tell what power my rig is set for when I'm sending this in CW based on what my log says in the PWR field.

Hi Bud, hope you are well !

The memory field is a text field and PWR is a numerical value so it needs to be "transformed" into characters, thats what the function TRANS(PWR) does.

Concatenate just means to merge, the plus signs in the expression "I AM RUNNING" + TRANS(PWR) + "WATTS" will merge the 3 strings. So, if your power value was 400 watts, when you send that memory it will send I AM RUNNING 400 WATTS.

You yourself dont need to "transform" or "concatenate" anything, the functions in the expression do all the work.

You DONT need to create a TRANS(PWR) field.

If you have a default power value set-up in LOGic, try a QSO leaving the default power value alone and see if its being sent.

Let us know...

Sorry, What I get for not testing to avoid numeric oversflow. You need placeholders for the digits. So:

" I AM RUNNING " + TRANS(PWR, "####") + " WATTS "

Just use that exact expression. It will work.

Tnx & 73,

Thanks Dennis,

This did work. I didn't see this reply until 4/26. Tried it today and works like a charm...
