QRZ.com lookups revisited

Unread post by N3PPH »

Thank you Tom for the new getCallsign. I have come up with the following script which does exactly what I was looking for.

Code: Select all

tell application "RUMlog"
	set Call to getCallsign
end tell
tell application "Safari" to close window 1
set Callsign to Call
tell application "Safari" to open location "http://www.qrz.com/db/" & Callsign as text
Is there a way I can hook this to run every time I put a call in the callsign field like it does for the auto lookups under the QSO menu?

There is an option in Menu-->QSO-->Show web page automatically
When the qrz.com drawer window is open and this option is set, the web page will be shown in a separate window. Isn't this sufficient for you?

When I use this I get a quick look at the xml and then a blank window. I do have a qrz xml subscription.
