I wanted to upgrade my AC Log but didn't find an update button.  How do I
update to the new version?

Hi, everyone.

 

It looks like Scott has now upgraded A C Log to version 5.2.

 

Initially, I didn't think the upgrade would have much in it that we could
use, but then I read the info about the transferable CW and wave file phone
settings, and that peaked my interest.

 

Will have to download and try this version someday soon.

 

Below is  the info from Scott.

Hi All, 

 

I have several more enhancements for you to enjoy in Amateur Contact Log
5.2!

 

Amateur Contact Log 5.2 is Now Available!

 

With the ARRL Centennial Points challenge and also while contesting, I find
myself pressing Ctrl D to bring up the DX Spotting set up form to see the
larger list of spots as needed.  That list isn't organized or clickable
though, so I decided to add another separate, floating form to display the
DX spots in a more useful way.  To display the floating DX spots form, just
press Ctrl+Shift D.  Just like the Band Map, you can click on the DX spots
to tune your rig to the spot frequency and fill the pertinent fields in AC
log!

 

While coding, I envisioned bringing this form up and closing it on the fly.
During beta testing, some users decided to display this form instead of the
main form's DX Spots window entirely in a more permanent configuration.  If
you would like to use the new form in that way, you can set the size of the
dx spots window on the main form to 0% by clicking Settings > DX Spotting >
Configure.  You can also set the form to display automatically on start up
there as well.  The new form will remember the size, location, column widths
and order you set when you next display it.

 

Lord willing, I plan to add this new form to the contesting software in the
next few weeks as well!

 

Other enhancements you'll find in Amateur Contact Log 5.2 include:

 

- Main form changes to DX spots column widths and order are now saved.

- QRZ image / bio display will hide command buttons after 5 seconds. Mouse
over form to redisplay the buttons.

- Added Watch List delete all button (will be useful after the ARRL
Centennial Points Challenge concludes).

- Ability to save and load CW settings for easy transfer to other N3FJP
logging programs.

- Ability to save and load phone wave settings for easy transfer to other
N3FJP logging programs.

- Removed Tech + from frequency privilege form.

 

As always, upgrades are free to registered users, including all N3FJP
Software package subscribers!  You'll find Amateur Contact Log 5.2 here:

Enjoy!
