MAIN SCREEN MAP IS NOT CORRECT WITH CALL SIGN

Post by AH6TX »

In placing call signs in the correct spot your manual shows that it will locate the geography of the persons call sign. I tried it on a couple of them and it is not working correctly.

Please advise what to do.

Thanks

It relies on there being a grid locator to work, no locator and it can't function

Works perfectly for me. Its not very accurate as I believe it locates as center of your grid square. Going to QRZ.com and looking up on the map is much more accurate.

Great feature and works well :)

Should be exactly the same as QRZ, uses the locator from QRZ and same Google Earth map and KML generation

I see the problem. I don't know how to fix it.... When the program connects with qrz it is not picking up the grid square info. When I go to qrz and retrieve it and place it in your program it works fine.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like your not an XML paid subscriber to QRZ, either pay for a subscription or join HAMQTH which is free

Does not appear to be that way for me. QRZ shows QTH location precisely and you can usually find the antennas.

But Log4OM appears to go to the center of the 6 digit grid square that the callsign belongs to.

QRZ (but even HAMQTH) is not providing exact coordinates of counterpart QRZ, only the locator .
Talking about QRZ.COM the locator is provided if you're QRZ paid subscriber, else you will not have locator at all, and Log4OM will roughy point you to the country center for raw antenna direction
