But you have not received a paper QSL thats why the 'QSL' button is red

[DF5WW]

That´s what it means. QSL means a paper card, since hams sending cards as "the final courtesy" of a QSO.

Then what is Orange?

Do me a favour, RTFM ... Means unconfirmed. Check out your QSL send status for this and i´m shure
you have QSL send set to "YES" but you havn´t received one. So it´s worked but unconfirmed. In
the example you have it red QSL send was set to "Requested". As it set so the QSL isn´t send and in
that case it´s unworked. Try to set to "YES" and it will change the color i think. If not you may report
a new issue.

Means you dont have the COUNTRY confirmed ELECTRONICALLY (EQSL or LOTW) on that BAND

RTFM ...

Would you kindly point is to the proper spot in the manual?

I assure you I down load and review the latest user manual every time before asking a question. This s/w is amazing and very flexible. I do not envy the documentation team. As a s/w developer myself, I know the challenges!

Your paragraph, minus the the read the manual, should be inserted into the manual. It is clear to me as to now how it is suppose to work. Thank you. As of now, there is nothing in the manual indicating that the received statuses (QSL, EQSL or LOTW) in the Statistics are contingent on sent statuses.


Now that you've explain how it is suppose to work I still think something is not right. Beloiw, here I have Poland, 30m CW selected:

Country QSL is RED. Fine and correct. I have three (3) Qsl Sent QSOs set to Requested.
Band is RED. WHY? I only have one (1) 30m QSO with Poland and Qsl Sent is No.
Mode is RED. WHY? I have four (4) CW QSOs with Poland and all have Qsl Sent set to No.

Have you restarted after this changes and tried again ?

By the way. If you have checked QSLsend to "NO" for those contacts its unworked/unconfirmed and it
will be show´n in RED COLOR. SET QSL SEND TO "yes" and i think the colour will change to
"YELLOW".

[KA4CDN]

Well I've not changed anything so saw no reason to restart. But as a test I shut down and restarted. No change. I have RED for [QSL] Country (correct), Band (wrong I think) and Mode (wrong I think).

By the way. If you have checked QSLsend to "NO" for those contacts its unworked/unconfirmed and it
will be show´n in RED COLOR. SET QSL SEND TO "yes" and i think the colour will change to
"YELLOW".

I give up. Now I am more confused. It makes no sense that the received status should be on the Sent status.
If I send a QSL to someone and do not ask for a card, I do not expect to get one. If I request a card, regardless of if I sent one, the QSL Receive status should be Requested.
