V2 Grid square data

[M1SEM]

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

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!
