Logging Completed QSOs
There are three effective ways to log already-completed QSOs from a paper logbook or from notes made during an operating session:
use the Main window of DXKeeper's Log QSOs tab with the Optimize for realtime QSO entry option disabled (Configuration window, General tab, Main "Log QSOs" options panel)
- entry errors (e.g. invalid frequencies or modes) are flagged immediately
- information obtained from previous QSOs, database lookups, and callbook queries (if enabled) is immediately visible
see Logging and Managing QSOs and Logging Completed QSOs for detailed information and capabilities
the use of Keyboard Shortcuts will dramatically speed QSO entry; give yourself time to become familiar with these shortcuts
use DF3DB's excellent Fast Log Entry (FLE) application to generate an ADIF file, and then direct DXKeeper to import the generated ADIF file
- entry errors (e.g. invalid frequencies or modes) are flagged when the ADIF file is imported
- information obtained from database lookups and callbook queries (if enabled) is only visible after the ADIF file is imported
use the Substitution Options and Replacement Options panels on the Import QSOs tab of DXKeeper's Main window to provide information not recorded by FLE
- when using FLE for the first time, record the first 10 QSOs, direct FLE to generate an ADIF file, and then direct DXKeeper to import that file to confirm that all is working as expected
use a spreadsheet application to generate a tab-delimited file in the correct format, and then direct DXKeeper to import the generated tab-delimited file
to generate a prototype tab-delimited file in the correct format, log a test QSO and direct DXKeeper to export that QSO to a tab-delimited file
- entry errors (e.g. invalid frequencies or modes) are flagged when the tab-delimited file is imported
- information obtained from database lookups and callbook queries (if enabled) is only visible after the tab-delimited file is imported
The user with many QSOs to enter but no strong preference should try all three options and pick the one that works best.
