The GridSquare that appears in our logbooks is not that shown on the QRZ page for the contacts

OM,

Specifically ... what callsign is that? Will be helpful to know so I can test here as well.

Possibly because your not a paid XML subscriber to QRZ so without receiving a grid from the lookup Log4OM has to make guesses

OM,

Your call shows proper grid in my lookup via QRZ.com. Pls note that I do have a paid for XML subscription that shows detail more than the middle of the country.

Did you read Terry's note above?

How come your grid display is set to 6 characters? Mine is 4 characters. Is your setting different from mine?

I hope the grid display error will be fixed in the next version upgrade. I also hope that it will be the default 6 characters without modification. now is v2.35.1.0
