If this is available, I have missed it and cannot find it....
Is there any way to have Log4Om record a 6 character Grid Square instead of the current 4 characters ??????? and, if it is not available, could it be added, probably as a setting ???
Regards
John

Is this the setting in "User Preferences" ??? If yes, Mine is set to 6 but it only saves 4

I guess that the QSO's are from FT8 which usually only send 4 digits, QSO's saved in Log4OM directly will be 6
Providing your using the UDP connection to WSJT in Log4OM you can edit the connection to 'Update the grid' when adding it to the logbook

I have the same problem. I have set all the settings I could find and the situation has not changed. Should I wait for the next update?
