V2 Grid square data
V2 Grid square data
Is there a reason that the new V2 is not populating the gridsquare info when entering a new QSO or am I missing something it appears to grab the first 4 characters of the stations grid square but when saving the contact no grid square is saved, V1 did this no problem at all.

Please a more full explanation
Where is the grid coming from, lookup, import or manual entry

Shane,
If you are using QRZ.com you need to have a current subscription for the grid data to be extracted.
HAMQTH does not always seem to have the 6-digit grid IDs.
Also taking input from WSJT-x will also only provide a 4-digit grid ID as that is noted in the WSJT-x documentation.

It is coming from the lookup, when entering a new QSO, after entering a callsign the grid square is seen below the map but only to 4 characters , once the QSO is saved no grid is saved with the qso info. Now when entering calls in V1 the grids are picked up fine.
Pic 1 shows 4 character grid being shown https://ibb.co/nf0tDs0
Pic 2 shows no date being shown in saved log entry. https://ibb.co/nf0tDs0

Re: V2 Grid square data
Because in neither case is the grid being found by lookup so Log4OM uses an arbitrary country grid to get a rough aerial direction
The lack of grid in the top input window is either due to there not being a grid available from the online lookup source or using QRZ when you don't have a paid XML subscription
Checking your call on QRZ I see that you are just a free Ham Member this will be why you can't get a grid from QRZ
If there is no grid in the top input window Log4OM has nothing to save!
