Version 6.50 is on the BBS and has been sent to the update list.
Here are the release notes:
Release notes for TR Logging Program - Version 6.50
4 June 2000
Version 6.50 - Released on 4 June 2000.
- Fixed up Cabrillo for WPX and other contests.
- Updated All Asian with new QSO point structure.
- Made some refinements to the procedure to add a call to the band map
to try and eliminate some run time #204 failures seen in the WPX
contest by several stations. This isn't guaranteed to fix the problem
since I wasn't able to reproduce it - but I did find a potential
smoking gun.
- Fixed some calls disappearing from call window when hitting RETURN.
This was because I had left a debug message in the code that was added
when working on some SCP issues - probably in 6.48.
- Fixed Band/mode remaining mult window format when mult by mode.
- Fixed ASK FOR FREQUENCIES with no input from crashing program.
Version 6.49 - Released on 2 May 2000
- Fixed garbage when deleting last entry in band map.
- Fixed ARRL DX Cabrillo routine to support DX stations and multi two.
- Fixed dupes in possible calls from SCP.
- Fixed runtime error 201 at end of POST UEA or UEFF.
- Fixed dupes showing up in possible calls from SCP (broken in 6.48).
- Fixed RT 201 at end of POST UEA or UEFF (broken in 6.48).
- Improved the LocateCall procedure to instantly process the same call
if it was the last call processed. This results in faster performance
during the logging process as this routine is called several times.
Version 6.48 - Released 17 February 2000.
- Fixed Cabrillo format for Sprint.
- Fixed Icom bugs in LOGK1EA. There were two problems - one that prevent
most of the radios from working at all. Data could be sent to the radio
but not received. Some newer radios might have worked okay - but
possibly with wrong mode information.
- Tried to improve operation when operating split with the band map.
- Added WestCentralFlorida section (WCF) to ARRL sections.
- Fixed runtime error 204 at 0CB9:017B (in SCP routine). This was
never in a released version.
- Added load of country file when doing log prompt so the country stuff
gets initialized okay. This was causing problems for some contests
where the QSO point method wouldn't work right until you restarted
the program.
- Updated TenTenQSO Point Method.
- More memory conserving techniques - frees up about 27K.
- New TRMASTER stuff to fix dupes and allow lots more calls in POST.
Most, or all, reported issues with adding files to the database
should be resolved by this.
Version 6.47 - Released 13 January 2000.
- Added NAQP.DOM for the NAQP contest which includes VY0.
- Improved the operation of the Base64 decoder (TR B64DECODE).
- Fixed Cabrillo format for putting space after number sent in SS. The
Cabrillo format is still not totally implemented for contests other
than the SS and CQ WW. I will be getting to more for the next release.
- Big changes to the bandmap. Separate bandmaps are now stored for each
band and mode. This means a call can appear on more than one band/mode
at a time. New commands to support this include:
BAND MAP ALL BANDS and BAND MAP ALL MODES (both in Control-J) to allow
you to view all bands - or both modes - on one band map. The default
value is FALSE.
BAND MAP CUTOFF FREQUENCY - used to set the CW/SSB transition frequency
for a band. The defaults are shown below. The program will figure out
the right band based upon the frequency you input (in Hertz).
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band160] := 1840000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band80] := 3700000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band40] := 7100000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band30] := 10150000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band20] := 14100000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band17] := 18110000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band15] := 21200000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band12] := 24930000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band10] := 28300000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band6] := 50100000;
BandMapModeCutoffFrequency [Band2] := 144200000;
- Added NEXTBANDMAP CW function key command. This will advance you to
the next non dupe entry in bandmap. Also added as a footswitch mode.
- Added CW GRANT footswitch mode. When starting to send CW, the PTT
signal will be asserted, but CW won't be sent until the footswitch
input is asserted (grounded).
- Added digital filter for Icom frequency reading. This is an attempt
to eliminate the problems with missing band information.
- Fixed multi/network crash by increasing stack size to 24500. This may
also result in more stable operation even when not using the multi
network and packet.
- Removed LOGDUPE and LOGSTUFF from overlays. Reduced overlay buffer to
100K. This was done to try an improve some of the slow responses.
- Totally reworked bandmap stuff - increased speed - reduce memory used.
- Added BAND MAP DUPE DISPLAY to the config file commands.
- Removed AutoStartSend arrow showing up after Control-J in S&P mode.
- Made MULTI INFO MESSAGE changed in Control-J be sent right away.
Version 6.46 - Released 24 November 1999
- Implemented new packet unit - improved QSX parsing.
- Changed .CAB Cabrillo file extension to .CBR.
- Improved Alt-T to allow input of seconds.
- Increased the size of the overlay buffer. This will result in
slightly less free memory, but reduce the amount of activity of
overlays being loaded. On some slower machines - the new setting
was too aggressive and resulted in poor performance. This might
also be the fix for some of the packet/netowrk issues seen by some.
- Fixed floppy error message not displayed long enough to see it.
- Tried to fixed Icom radios sometimes showing NON for the band due
to missing byte in communication. However, I am not sure I have
really fixed anything yet.
- Added PACKETINPUTFILE startup command. Next parameter is filename
of ASCII file to process. Spots will be loaded in from the file
two per second. They will be passed around to the network just as
if they were received from a TNC. There is also a file PACKET.ZIP
included with the program with one month's worth of data to play
with. The format for the file is the same as the generated when
using the PACKET LOG FILENAME command.
- Fixed JIDX summary sheet not showing multipliers.
- Sometimes notes entered into the log would be processed for partial
call and initial exchange data. This would result in some strange
entries into the partial/possible call list. This has been fixed.
- Fixed delay when starting a CW message with ALL CW MESSAGES CHAINABLE.
Before - a space character would always be added to the start of the
message. This now only happens if CW is still being sent.
- Fixed TWO RADIO MODE getting confused if you hit ESCAPE while
the program is calling the station you did Alt-D on. Before,
if you pressed ESCAPE before the program finished calling the
station (i.e., "DE W5WMU") - the two radio state machine would
be in the wrong state. Also, note that the SPRINT QSY MODE
is not to be used in SS with TWO RADIO MODE. It will result
in the QSO not being cleared out properly.
- Moved display with AUTO DISPLAY DUPE QSO to after CW starts up.
This removes a small delay that might happend before the QSO
BEFORE message is sent.
- Removed a blank line in the Control-J menu before the TAB MODE entry.
Also - fixed the RADIO TWO TRACKING ENABLE DISPLAY entry to show the
correct data.
- Fixed the RADIO ONE TYPE command so it will accept lower case entries.
