Hello again,
Sorry for the bother for the second day in a row.
Now it seems that when entering any call sign, or double clicking a call sign from the prop logger, the Locator Info is not there. Then when adding the contact into the log I get a "Bad Locator" error.. Any Ideas on that one ??
Thanks again in advance!

We accertained that this was a known issue with the small cluster window, this is the Mantis entry
0000274: Locator in small cluster but missing from QSO input pane F1
Description
This happens if the QRZ entry does not include a locator as in EA9KB or if the QRZ entry is not found as with F5LPM

I think what happens is that the cluster defaults to the country file locator if the locator is not found in QRZ and it fills the box above the cluster but not the one in the entry window.

The locator box in the entry window is only getting filled if the locator is found in QRZ

In the end it was caused because Joe did not have a paid subscription to QRZ, he swapped to HamQTH and everything now works fine
