[*]Option added to reset both repots to 59(9) after logging (Preferences—>General)

nice option, thank you Tom.
The text next to the checkbox says "Reset rst zu 599". Now I know what "zu" means in German

I am a very happy user of RUMLog !
Using RumLog ver 5.1.4 on a MacBook Air (1.7GHz, i5 processor) and Mac OS X 10.7.5, 4GB RAM

I have to report following bugs:
1) Using Growl 2.1 I can not see that DX alerts are coming to Growl. Growl is not identifying RumLog as an application either.
2) Rotor direction is faulty with prefixed calls, i.e. HB9/LA0FA as a callsign makes the rotor to point to LA and not HB9. Should be the other way round.
3) By picking up call signs for logging from the band map/DX Spots window not all fields in the logging form are reset, i.e. the manager field is from the previous qso/logging entry.


I hope its ok that I write this report here. Those are cosmetic bugs written here with the intention that future versions of Rumlog are even more perfect !!

Best 73 and keep on the good work with this software.

Hi Matthias,
Feedback is always welcome.

1) Using Growl 2.1 I can not see that DX alerts are coming to Growl. Growl is not identifying RumLog as an application either.

No problem here, maybe other users can confirm that? Do you have activated the Growl option in the DX Alarm settings? Please note, only new ones will be announced.

2) Rotor direction is faulty with prefixed calls, i.e. HB9/LA0FA as a callsign makes the rotor to point to LA and not HB9. Should be the other way round.

I can't confirm that. Can you post a screen shot?

Yes, this is the designed way it should work. This behavior fits better to my workflow. Clear all fields pressing Command W.

Thanks a lot for your quick response !

1)Growl: strange, now I installed 1.2.2 and it works. I will upgrade again to 2.1 and recheck.
2) Prefixed callsign: You are perfectly right, when I test now it works as you say. I need to observe that. I have seen it sometimes like I described, but I obviously jumped to a conclusion here. Sorry.
3) Ok, understand your preference. I need to "learn" the command W prior clicking on call on the band map, I feel this is a hurdle - why would I want to keep a previous QSO´s QSL manager in that field ? However, I have to accept your choice hi.

Here you see an example CP6/DF9GR and the beam heading points to DL .....
I get this result by both taking over the call from the band map or entering the callsign manually into the callsign logging field.

another example: W1/IK2NCJ ... pointing to Italy instead of W1

Oh, this seems to be another story. Do you use the Auto fill up option from qrz.com?
For these portable stations qrz.com returns the data from home. So the grid square is most probably wrong.
Please check the grid square in the Locator field when you see a wrong direction. RUMlog uses the exact station location for calculation when available.
