I have read the wiki and have a paid subscription to HamCall.net, but I can't seem to figure out how do use it online with Pathfinder... No HamCall.net button (unlike QRZ). When I just hit enter, it tries QRZ and gets an error (because I don't have my username and password entered, and if I do, QRZ is down for maintenance anyway).
in any case, I do note that DXKeeper Capture window populates with the proper information, so it is getting the info somewhere... Ideas? -- Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV |

I have read the wiki and have a paid subscription to HamCall.net, but I can't seem to figure out how do use it online with Pathfinder... No HamCall.net button (unlike QRZ). + That's because (unlike QRZ) HamCall.net does not provide a free subscription that displays QSL route information. If you're not paid subscriber, this URL https://hamcall.net/call?callsign=AA6YQ + displays my city, state, and zipcode, but says "Street address available to members" - making it useless for addressing an outgoing QSL card. + In contrast, https://www.qrz.com/db/AA6YQ + displays my full postal address to anyone with a free QRZ subscription. When I just hit enter, it tries QRZ and gets an error (because I don't have my username and password entered, and if I do, QRZ is down for maintenance anyway). + Entering a callsign and striking the Enter key means "invoke the most recent Search"; evidently your "most recent search" was QRZ. in any case, I do note that DXKeeper Capture window populates with the proper information, so it is getting the info somewhere... + DXKeeper provides 4 online callbook options: 1. HamCall Online 2. HamQTH 3. QRZ XML Data 4. QRZ.com via Pathfinder Ideas? + See https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/CallbookLookup 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

I forgot that Buckmaster is the owner of HamCall. Pathfinder's Configuration window provides a "HamCall.net Online Callbook" panel in which you can specify your username and password. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |
