How to Get Started
How to Get Started
I've downloaded RUMlog2Go on my iPad. Checking the Help button provides a topic list, but not a 'getting started guide'. Simply stated, how do I learn to start using RUMlog2Go? The app itself looks impressive.
Re: How to Get Started
Configuring a new logbook software will vary from user to user, pending on the used services.
Assuming you are not using RUMlog on the Mac I would start this way:
Start at the 'Log Settings' screen, the active logbook name is 'DefauldLog.rsd'.
Assuming you are not using RUMlog on the Mac I would start this way:
Start at the 'Log Settings' screen, the active logbook name is 'DefauldLog.rsd'.
- You can create other logbook files with entering a filename and using the 'Create a new log' button.
- Enter your callsign and your 6-digit grid square in the provided fields.
- Push the buttons 'Download LoTW users' and 'Download eQSL users' to download the latest lists. LoTW users are marked in dx cluster spots with a trailing dot. An internet connection is required.
- If you want to use qrz.com (payed subscription required) or HamQTH.com (free registration required) enter your account data into the provided fields.

Re: How to Get Started
Hallo dr om Tom. Your log is better than HamLog because in your log is also cluster and many things useful for me . I installed that now. All is OK, but I can not start that log with my KX3 . I have Pigtail from USA and with Hamlog I have not any problem. But when I give to RUMLog address of my Pigtail -10.1.1.11 and port 7373 and tape connect on to KX3 control I do not see anything. What I doing wrong ? Vlada OK1IVU 73 !
Re: How to Get Started
When you are using the original configuration as you get the Pigtail/Piglet from Nick, you have to use the following settings:
- Connect your iPad to the Pigtail's WLAN "Pigtail"
- For the ip address you have to enter the Pigtail's Router address 10.1.1.1, not the internal address 10.1.1.11!
- The port is 7373.
- Please note, the baud rate is originally set just to 4800.

Re: How to Get Started
I have a subscription to qrz.com and have entered the user name and password in the settings of RumLog2Go. When I enter a call in the logging mask I get to the data associated to that particular call in qrz.com. When I get to that screen I press on "Use Data" (in green, on that screen) assuming the data will be saved to the logging mask when I go back there. But no, there is nothing there when I go back to logging. What am I doing wrong?

iPad or iPhone?
It seems, your work flow is correct:
It seems, your work flow is correct:
- Entering a call sign into the logging mask
- touch button "qrz.com"
- data will show up
- touch button "Use data"
- Name, QTH, Grid, etc will be filled into the logging mask

Re: How to Get Started
It's an iPhone...
Here's the sequence I follow:
- In the New QSO screen (logging mask) I enter the call and accept
- I press on the arrow to the right of the call sign box, and I am taken to the Info screen
- On this screen I press on the arrow to the right of qrz.com, and I am taken to the qrz.com screen, where I see correctly all the data associated to that call
- I press on Use Data and I am taken back to the Info screen
- I press on New QSO and I am taken back to the New QSO screen. The call sign is still there, but not so the qrz.com info...
I got the app only today and still fiddling with it, so I assume I am doing something wrong. I am totally in love with this application anyway, as I am with RumLog and its features.

Re: How to Get Started
Opps, you are right. There is something broken.
I will investigate.

Re: How to Get Started
Tom,
Today I installed RumLog2Go. It's a very nice app. I also use Rumlog for years. What I can't find out is how to connect my KX3 with the iPad mini. Is this only possible with Pigtail ? Or can you use a cable ? Can I use the lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter with a USB to KX3 ?
Thanks for the help.
