Hi,

Often I hear a country prefix and band announced over my computer's speakers. But, when I look in the Spot Log Form, that station is not listed. This is frustrating because I would like to work that station, but don't know the frequency.

Where does the announced station information come from?

Thanks

Hmmm... haven't had any complaints about this.

Make sure that the column header of TIME POSTED or TIME RECEIVED is underlined. This means that this column controls the current sort order of the grid. Double-click to change. TIME RECEIVED would be the least confusing -- the spots should then appear in the grid in the order they were received (and announced), most recent on top.

If it was in order by callsign or freq, you probably would not see the spot unless you searched for it. Try that next time -- if you hear a spot you aren't seeing, use the Find feature to search for the call. That will tell us if there is really a problem or not.

Also, having ANNOUNCE ALL checkmarked and SHOW ALL not checked would explain what you are experiencing.

Well, the callsign comes from the spot itself. The mode is determined based on the frequency or the existance of RYRY etc in the comment area. The DXCC, CQZ, etc. comes from the prefix table. Whether or is needed or not (and therefore gets announced or not)comes from LOGic's awards tracking.

Let us know what you find.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis

Hi,
Sometimes I have the horizontal bar scroll not at left position, and so, I can not see the DX callsigns, please check the position for the scroll bar if it is at left (in SpotLog window).

Sorry if my input is a bit silly, but infact it happens with me.
