Hi Daniele
I installed your new version 2.0 but went into the following issues:

Pos:
a) nice to see the QRZ.COM Picture in the main screen
b) Better Menu for all the settings
c) the whole Software starts quicker than the v1.40

Cons:
a) Logging with JTDX v2.1.0 does not work
b) Logging with WSJT-X v2.1.0 with the second UDP-Port as written on page 134 in your new manual, does not work
c) DX-Cluster view is not that confortable like in the version 1.40 - I have to refresh manually to see the cluster informations the first time
d) In the status bar I can't see if the Comm Services (UDP-Ports) are up-and running
e) not supporting the SQL-DB from version 1.x (JTDX will not support the new DB version)

So I went back to the old version v1.40, where erveything works fine for me

Well done with V2, I loaded this up on the 16th Jan and very pleased with the outcome. I am glade the programs simplicity is maintained. I have my setup running with WSJT-x and JTAlert (latest version) and all seems to be working although JTAlert displays an error that Log4Om is using the old database location rather than the new one even though I have set the new database correctly. I assume because I am using the option to copy data to V1 JTAlert is scanning the old database so appearing to function ok.
One issue I see is when closing down Log4Om when LOTA upload on close down is set. After asking for the LOTA password the shut down hangs and I have to force shutdown manually. The LOTA data uploads ok. If I shut down but cancel the LOTA upload Log4Om shuts down correctly.

Hi, let me answer you on cons, that are the most important part of your thread.

a) Logging with JTDX v2.1.0 does not work

I'm running JTDX without issues. If you have some more details maybe we can find where the error is.

b) Logging with WSJT-X v2.1.0 with the second UDP-Port as written on page 134 in your new manual, does not work

Again, this is working for several thousands of users. I start believing you have something preventing communication, like a firewall or an antivirus not correctly set. Again, your log could help us finding the issue

c) DX-Cluster view is not that confortable like in the version 1.40 - I have to refresh manually to see the cluster informations the first time

Nobody else reported that, once again a log of your application can help us.

d) In the status bar I can't see if the Comm Services (UDP-Ports) are up-and running

Correct. Log4OM can open an unspecified number of ports, inbound and outbound. Putting an array of bullets in the status bar is not possible. You can see running services in the HELP MENU -> "Open diagnostic page". A generic bullet that reports "at least one service is active" would not have sense.

e) not supporting the SQL-DB from version 1.x (JTDX will not support the new DB version)

You probably mean JTAlert. In that case we can't do anything on that... JTAlert author is working on.

So I went back to the old version v1.40, where erveything works fine for me

Hope to see you soon here
As you can imagine, working without data is hard for us. Please check the application log for issues, if you share them we can help you but "it's not working" is not enough for us to find a solution

Hi Mike, i suppose LOTA is LOTW. It seems you don't have filled all required fields in the LOTW configuration. Maybe you're using a sign certificate and you don't have provided the password to Log4OM so (again, i'm supposing) TQSL is asking you for the password.
This slow down everything and may drive to hangups.
As said before, a screenshot or a log could help us

Hi Daniele
Now everything is working now
With the new JTAlert 2.15.8.

Thanks a lot

Having setup Log4Om with JTAlert 2.15.7 I had some success but eventually tried it without running JTAlert. This was reasonable successful but export of qso's did not occur other than to ClubLog. I check all my settings and they were as used in Log4Om V1. I have now loaded JTALert 2.15.8 and my external logs seem to be working but I still have an issue with closing down.
I have LOTW set to upload on close and get the TQSL asking for my password. I enter this and the dialog closes and is replaced by the Log4Om shut down dialog which shows:
Scheduler closed
Saving form status...
Shutting down Log4OM application
This remains on screen indefinitely or until I force a shut down with task manager.
I then get the final LOTW dialog which completes ok.

Did you update to the latest version of Log4om release number 2.2.0.0 which was provided during the weekend?

[m0pwl]

Yes I updated yesterday hoping it would cure the shut down issue.
