Net Control Window

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the improvements to the net control window. I have been using it this morning on the UK Elecraft Net. A couple of minor comments so far. Firstly the double click to the log. It is too easy to send a call to the log when trying to add a name or QTH. I did this a couple of times today. Could it be tied to the active tickbox? If the station is ticked as active it cannot be logged? Or possibly use a treble click to log the callsign?
Secondly I am not sure what the date field actually does? It did not show me the last time I worked a station and of course the log has the date anyway.

Thanks again for the updates, I am really enjoying using RUMlog :)

Okay, no problem. I know, it is sometimes tricky. You have to click twice in a cell, but it has not to be a double click.

This was a feature request from David, VA3MJR. I don't know, how he uses this field, but he is happy with that.

Thanks Tom. At first glance it looks great. I will give it a full test next Sunday on the Elecraft net I guess :) Many thanks

A thought my dear wife (G0YLM) came up with. The database on the Net Control Window is great but it would be nice to have a name on the database of a particular net. Can it also store multiple nets?

It is possible to store multiple databases in a single file. Before you start logging, you have to select/create a new net database.
I will think about it .... QRX
