Re: ACLog spots to Flex 6400 Panadapter

Dan Trainor
 

Thank you to Dave wo2x!!!! Who called me and helped me out using a TeamViewer troubleshooting session. Always good to have a second pair of eyes when you get stuck. And he found the issue quickly. Thank you kindly Dave! Turned out since I was operating remote the data packets between ACLog and Flex Radio API were not being passed though the home router, as the router was blocking and not forwarding this port. I now have at at least two solutions. 1) port forward 12061 in home router and/or have a local PC running that would serve to feed Flex API with Spots locally. Thanks again Dave for helping understand what the issue was and suggesting work arounds. I hope this information helps someone in the future if they have a similar scenario. The SPOTS were all working for me for about a year when my SSDR client was local and directly connected to the radio through a switch and thus the SPOT data packets were passing successfully from ACLog to Flex Radio Panadapter. When I moved the SSDR client remote, as I didn't think about how that may affect the ACLog to Flex Radio interaction. Dave didn't have to take the time out and kindly lend a hand to this old man but he did and I am grateful. Thank you, dan WA1QZX
Re: FILE/OPEN Command

Scott Davis
 

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your e-mail.  When you click File > Open, only files with a .mdb extension are displayed by default, so make sure you are clicking the proper file command.

If you are sure you are, it sounds like you are signing on to Windows with a different User profile than you were using previously, where your log files reside.  More details on that are here:

Re: DX Spotting Help

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your e-mail.  I'm sorry that you've run into trouble.  First, check to see that you are properly signed into the telnet host and it is functioning properly (you are seeing spots on the set up form).  If not, this FAQ will get you going:


http://www.n3fjp.com/faq.html#q95


If you are seeing spots on the set up form, but not the main form, click the More Filtering button and correct your filter settings.

Daniel, try pulling the power on your pc and plugging the power cord back in.  Had a similar problem the other day with a com port and the DX spotting.  Pulled the power cord on the pc, put it back in, and everything worked.  I know, sounds weird.  Try it.

Re: Oops

Scott Davis
 

Hi David,

Thanks for your follow up.  Okay, I'm relieved that you were using a relatively current version of AC Log, not a 2005 version.  :)

First, make sure that you are signing on to Windows with the same Windows user profile that you used to use, before you got distracted.  More details on that are here:


http://www.n3fjp.com/faq.html#q48


If you still can't find your log file, you can restore from backup (or you LoTW upload) as detailed here:



Enjoy!

I'd like to make a copy of the log file every 'x' minutes while operating out at the park. I'd hate to lose a couple of hundred QSOs if my laptop chose the worst possible moment to die. 

Your documents say that the file should be fine if the computer reboots while ACLog is running. Is it fair to say that if I were to copy the .mdb file to removable media while ACLog is running, that copy will likely be usable? I realize that if I copy in the middle of a write the copy will probably be corrupt. In that case I'd have to go back to a prior copy.

Is there a better way to get 'real time' backups of the log file, and not wait for the program to be closed?

Thanks,

Hi All,

There's been lots going on at N3FJP Software headquarters!  Chris, KB3KCN and I are developing a new installation method that will affect all our software and we are adding support for the WW Digi contest, too!

We are at a point in the process where we really need your help testing both.  Briefly:

- We have been vetted and granted a code signing certificate.  Future releases of our software, including the WW Digi software that we need you to test now, will be digitally signed as Affirmatech Inc.  You will still see the Windows SmartScreen window right after new releases, but it should reduce other warnings you receive, depending on the Internet protection software that you use.

-  Each program will automatically alert you when an upgrade is available.

-  The upgrade path will be far easier - literally one click - after you install the next release of each of our programs.  No more need to uninstall from Windows Control Panel!


Your Testing Steps:

Everything is working fine here, but we really need as many folks testing this as possible.  We definitely want any anomalies with test contest data, not any real data, so please help us with the following test:

1.  Please install the WW Digi software (it will install as version 0.8):


2.  Enter some test contacts (and give the WW Digi software a good test while you are at it)

3.  Let me know that you have entered some test data (either here or direct (snkdavis@...)) and that you are ready for Phase II of the test.

4.  I will make a change on the web site, after I have heard from enough folks for a good test, so that the software knows an upgrade is available next time you start it,

5.  I will ask you to start the software when we are ready for Phase II.  If all goes well, it will alert you to a new version and give you the option to upgrade.

6.  Click the upgrade button (it should restart automatically as 0.9 and the test QSOs you entered in 0.8 should come right up).

7.  Please us know how you make out!!!

All, please give this a go.  Thanks in advance!
