"Add QSO data" options are muted

Unread post by n4ef »

RumLogNG isn't populating QSO data.

I have Preferences>Database>hamqth.com selected.

If I view "Add QSO Data > use Hamqth.com, use QRZ.com, use QRZCQ.com," those 3 options are all muted and no selection can be made.

I have a HamQTH.com account and am logged in during RumLogNG use, but there's no QSO data populating.

How to fix?

Thank you.

Read the chapter Add data to existing logbook entries from here: https://dl2rum.de/RUMlogNG/docs/en/page ... H_qrz.html

Hello, New user fresh install of version 6.0.2 on MAC os Tahoe.

I can not get the QSO name and QTH fields to auto populate. I have a QRZ and Hamqth subscription and enter all of the login information but the fields do not auto populate after I enter the call sign of a new contact and tab over.

In help I found "When you click the small (disclosure) triangle in the upper right hand corner, the result window opens. The queries are enabled now. A query starts:” I can not find the small disclosure triangle to click.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.Image

You can use Menu --> Window --> HamQTH/qrz/QRZCQ as well as pushing the triangle.

Dave N4EF helped me out. Thanks Dave. The triangle mentioned in the help notes is the > just below and to the right of the QTH field.

The name and QTH fields do not auto populate like several other programs that I use HAMRS as an example. It would be really useful if this was an option in RUMlogNG. It would save several steps during a QSO. I know I can always add the information to the log later by selecting log entries and selecting QSO, Add QSO Data, Use QRZ.com, etc.

Just a thought for future updates.

Thanks again Dave N4EF!

It will!
Set the option Use data.

DL2RUM Thank you for the reply.

I can not find the "use Data" option in the settings. It is in the QRZ information that pops up after I click the ^ symbol. And after I click the ^ symbol the fields auto populate. What I was hoping for is an option that populates those fields when I tab past the call sign field without any additional steps.

I may be simply missing where to find the correct "use data" option.

I understand that in a contest situation this isn't required, but I have found it very useful in logging more casual QSO's and when operating POTA
