TX Power not being imported

[W1RET]

Have just installed the latest release, Version 1.12.1.0

I have imported my ADIF file but the TX Power column does not get populated. Reviewing the ADIF file I used shows TX power for each contact. For example, <TX_PWR:4>20.0.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

For the benefit of other users here is an explanation of the problem.

DXKeeper record TX power with a decimal point like 20.0 whereas most of us use the ADIF format without the decimal point like 20

Its one of those situations where the ADIF spec says the decimal point is optional and so far this is the first time I have encountered this issue of a software developer actually using it.

Quoted from the ADIF Specification.

"a sequence of Digits optionally preceded by a minus sign (ASCII code 45) and optionally including a single decimal point (ASCII code 46)"

I have asked Daniele to modify our ADIF import to recognise the decimal value so that the TX Power in a DXLabs ADIF's are no longer ignored.

Meanwhile we are fixing Jim's file so that it imports correctly..

Now resolved and DXLabs ADIF imports TX_PWR OK

Obviously from next release...
If someone has the same needs we can fix the ADIF log easily from DXLABS format.
Just send it to me or Terry.
In the next release Log4OM will automatically detect this behaviour and fix it

Same problem seen with a recent import from HRD Logbook v6.1....power is save as ##.###. As a result, nothing is saved in the power field.
