RE: Time logging problem.
In the My QTH tab is your Time Diff. to UTC set to zero?

RE: Time logging problem.
Hi Jordi.
I'm not sure I fully understand your explanation. Richard will be in the same time zone as me. I set Time Diff. to UTC to zero. In Windows my time zone is UTC London but it also automatically changes that in the summer when we add one hour for local time. Maybe you meant at this time of year he needs to set at 1 but I do not do that. Swisslog stays at zero and gives UTC OK for logging and pc maintains local time (UTC in winter and +1 in summer).

RE: Time logging problem.
Hi Jordi.
Yes, thank you for the extended reply which I now understand. My .ini is set up as you say and also has:
UseWindowsTimeDiff=1
I also run as administrator and I did find the VirtualStore! So, hopefully, Richard will resolve his problem.

RE: Time logging problem.
Hi,
And thanks to Jordi and Reg for the replies. Sorry I've been a bit slow in response to this but I've been away twice since I posted the query and things have been a bit hectic since we have come back !!
OK - I went in as per your instructions Jordi and in the Current QTH=Home_QTH dialogue box - the 'Time Diff. to UTC' is at 0. But - I cannot change it. It remains at 0 no matter what I do.
I guess I need some more advice here ...
Many thanks again.

RE: Time logging problem.
Hello Jordi,
Thanks again for your reply.
Yes - my Swisslog was installed with Administrator rights. And yes - in (Windows 8.1 Pro) the time zone is set as '(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London'. But it is also set for 'Daylight Saving Time' - in other words, my PC time is now 1 hour ahead of UTC and is 'clock time' here in the UK. I don't know if this has any bearing on the issue.
** Edit: Just looked in my Swisslog.ini file and the following is set:
UseWindowsTimeDiff=1
TimeDifftoWindows=1
TimeDiffofQTH=0
and in the file, there are three separate entries in different places of:
UTCTime=1
Don't know if this helps.
I'll send you my ini file. OK - tried that but cannot see any way of adding an attachment ??

RE: Time logging problem.
Hello Jordi,
With help from Erik EI4KF - I have it working. I had not used the 'Details/New' button in the 'Home QTH' screen first - my apologies. So now - the 'Time Difference to UTC' is set at 1. If I am in 'realtime QSO entry' then the 'start' box shows the UTC time (and not clock time) and when I enter a QSO and hit 'Save' the UTC real time is shown in the 'end' box and UTC is stored in the log.
That's all fine now !!! But can I ask - if I chose NOT to run in 'realtime' mode - and chose to enter my QSO start and end times manually - if I enter CLOCK time into the start and end boxes - and have 'Store UTC in logbook' checked - is it then also supposed to write UTC into the logbook - because it doesn't.
But maybe - it isn't supposed to do that.
** Edit: Erik (EI4KF) has just told me that if I chose to NOT use 'realtime' mode then I effectively stop Swisslog tracking the time and thus - whatever I enter into the 'Start' and 'End' boxes - will be entered into the log irrespective if 'Realtime QSO Entry' is checked or not.
So now - I fully understand. Sorry - I've been a bit lax in 'RTFM'.
Thanks (to Erik) and again to you Jordi.
