Hi Carsten,
You were right! When QTH locator to import had 4 digits distance was set to 0. I have corrected this and uploaded a new Beta:

Keep in mind that the distance won't be as accurated as when locator contains 6 digits. Calculation is made to the grid center when locator contain only Maidenhead (i.e.: KO01 would be calculated as KO01LL).
You have 2 methods if you want to correct all QSOs having 0 in the Distance field and having a QTH locator. First of all open a logbook view containing the Distance and QTH locator fields (as the Logbook All fields (slow)) and filter to select all QSO with
Distance = 0 and
QTH locator = NonBlanks. Now perform one of the following methods:
-
Most accurated: simply edit every QSO and save! Distance field will be calculated automatically according the QTH locator and your locator defined in the MyQTH used. The CONS of this method is that you have to perform this operation for every QSO. If you don't have too many QSO, this is the preferred method.
-
Less accurated but faster: mouse right click and select
Update QSOs with data from Country Table and/or Callbook CD / internet databases then
Refresh all QSOs. Check the
Geographical Coordinates and
Distance options in the
Update from COuntry table left section. Check also
Replace existing value ONLY in the Distance field (see attached screenshot). Press the
Refresh QSOs button. The operation will be performed in all QSOs very fast! The CONS of this method is that is not as accurated because will read the lat and lon defined in the country table for such call, depending on the Region. Instead, you could try to check the Geographical Coordinates from the right panel to read the Locator from the selected Callbook database. However it could happen that the QTH locator defined in the Callbook database differs from the locator worked in the QSO.
So decide the method fits better for you.
