On the Recent QSO's (F7) tab, Cluster (F8) tab, (and everywhere else), display Distance in the user selected units. I know KM are the units in the database and in ADIF etc. I'm just suggesting the displayed distance be in user selected units. Otherwise I'm not sure what the purpose of the selection is.
Might also be helpful if the column headers display the units (km, mi, ly, etc).

If you right click on the grid labels you can edit the column labels to suit your needs as well as turn on/off columns for display or not.
Starting on Page 25 of the current U.G. is information about grid layout, labeling, etc.. Spans multiple pages with various data. Do a search in the U.G. for "grid" and see what you can find.

Re: Display distance in selected units
hi and thanks for considering my question. I see where I can pick and chose columns but I do not see how to have distance displayed in Miles verses KM?

Re: Display distance in selected units
Change to Miles instead of Kilometers. That should show yu the distance in Miles below the map.
Not sure about the distance grid so ADIF standard is 3 but could be possible that the distance is
show´n for the user in Miles too (not tested) and only kilometers when exporting ADIF.
You may try ...

Re: Display distance in selected units
Because the recent QSO's are as saved in your logbook and ready for exporting as an ADIF file with the correct KM format
You cannot set Log4OM to display miles in the list of qso's

Re: Display distance in selected units
There should be no reason that the displayed units must be the same as the ADIF export is there? When populating the display cell, you can do any calculation you want on the underlying data.
There isn't anything the manual that describes which fields are effected by the Distance Unit setting. And the various locations where distance is displayed are not presented with the units in use.

Correct, but that is the way it is

I will update it to stop confusion
