Question about N1MM+ Logger
Locked
 
|
This is arguably OT, but I have just installed the N1MM+ logger and haven't yet had a chance to research where to access that user group. So I've come here for help . . .
Setting the program up for the ARRL DX Contest CW, when I try to enter made up QSOs just to try it out I get the error message "Missing/Invalid Power." The Manual says that when that message appears, it means there is some element in the exchange that is either missing or invalid. When starting the new log file I entered "medium" for power, and entered as the exchange only "CO" for Colorado. Actually, CO was already populated. The ARRL rules provide that DX stations should include their TX power in the exchange, but that W/VE stations do not. My U.S. QTH in the configuration file is correct. So I am confused - anyone know why I am getting this error message? Tnx in advance, Ted, KN1CBR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

There is a Yahoo mail group for N1MM Logger+ users. >Setting the program up for the ARRL DX Contest CW, when I try to enter made up QSOs just to try it out I get the error message "Missing/Invalid Power."

For W/VE stations, the exchange is RST and state or province; you need to enter the other op's state or province in the text field misleadingly labeled "Pwr." This field is also where the abbreviation for output power goes for DX stations. The program will also accept in the log a W/VE station with a power exchange, even though this isn't really appropriate per the contest rules. 73, Ryan AI6DO ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Thanks, Ryan. That worked. The Manual reads : “. . . it does not believe your entered exchange is in the proper format for the contest.” I had read the word your to mean my, but in fairness to the authors that’s more my error than theirs. So to RTFM we could add RTFM-C! (carefully!)

Hi Ted, When I joined the current reflector several years ago, how to sign up was prominently posted on the website where we download the software. As a first guess -- look at the "Station Info" tab on the Config tab on the main menu line. Is all that info filled in correctly? 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Us can only work DX....So every station you log needs to send a power....

N1MM is saying you have not entered the DX station's power into the QSO entry window. So when trying test qsos, type the the dx station call, hit space, then enter a power and hit enter to send your report or log it, depending on whether you are S&P or running.
Also, after entering stuff into the log, if you type WIPELOG in the call sign entry field, N1MM+ will clean the log. Although somehow we have had problems with that in a sequence number contest like SS where the sequence number doesn't get cleared and you start the contest with a number other than 001. Haven't sorted that one out yet.
