Log4OM

I'm trying to import an large adif file generated by the old free version of ham radio deluxe logbook to adif version 2.2.

The import partially works but does not import the off_time. I have attached one record to show the format of the adif file I am trying to import.

Am I correct in thinking the time_off in the imported file should be shown in the Qso End Date column?

I think it maybe because the QSO_DATE_OFF is missing from the file I am trying to import. I wonder if there are any conversion softwares around.

Thanks Steve M0ZEH

Dont worry about it you can normalise the end date and end time in V2 after import

You know what I'm going to ask now! How do I normalise? I have imported the records.
Thanks Steve M0ZEH

QSO manager, select records and the last tab on right

All covered in the latest user guide

I'm really struggling. I am looking at QSO manager. I see the last tab callled QSO checks and the dropdown (1-10). But I don't see how to update the end time/date.
I looked at the manual but I don't see the word normalise in the manual and the bit about QSO manager doesn't mention updating end time/date.
Sorry for being duh.

Sorry not last tab its the date/time tab see 'Align end time with start time' page 75

My fault for relying on memory

I noticed the Date/Time update is missing in my QSO manager.

Ah! TAB I missed that and assumed you meant column


Check you email from me with a new download

Thanks for the new version. I get the attached message everytime I start log4om.

I now see the Date/Time update tab. The hint doesn't finish sentence and ends with 'which'.

From what I can gather this will only set the qso end time to the same as the start time. What I want to do is import the real end time and date from my adif file. Is that possible?

Go to the first tab in the Settings/Program Configuration menu and uncheck the 'Notify of updates' (Or similar)

Will fix in software but full text is available in the user guide

Correct sets the end date and time as start date and time

There is no end date in your file so if you need the actual QSO end time then you must edit the ADIF file that you imported so that it conforms to the ADIF format for date and time as below, then re-import with the choice to drop the existing database - (Make a backup first)

QSO_DATE
QSO_DATE_OFF

Time_ON
Time_OFF

and as detailed here https://www.adif.org/310/ADIF_310.htm#Fields


May I ask why the end time is so important to you? I ask because most users are not interested in end dates and times because their licence conditions only require a start date and time.
