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.

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?

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...

Thanks Dennis,

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