Working conds follow band in use
Hello Jordi,

first of all thank you very much for your continous support of SwissLog !! Great !!

This is my request or idea based on my experience:  I use quite often few rigs with different type of antenna, let say HF = dipoles, 50MHz = 6 elements, 144 = 10 elements yagi and so on.
The same is valid for transceiver type and so on ...

Sometime when I switch band, I forgot to select the correct <working conditions> that contain information about antenna, transceiver, power, etc ...

Would be possible to switch automatically the working conditions based on used bands ? Or something like that without going thru menu ?

Thank you very much, 73 and HNY pietro

RE: Working conds follow band in use
Hello Pietro,

Yes, I also experience the same and sometimes I forget to select the right working conditions. However, it's very complicated to do what you suggest. First of all, I would have to add band checkboxes in the Working conditions window to allow user select the bands used for the specific working conditions. But unfortunately I can't edit this specific window in the compiler. I can edit ALL other forms but this one triggers an error and I can't edit it in graphic mode, only in text mode. I have tried everything with no success. I even found a note from Walter about this form and he also got this error. Edit this in text mode is a real nightmare! 

But even if I could solve this, another important problem is: what happen if you have different rigs but sharing the same antenna? (this is my case). Which one should Swisslog select? Or what about if you have a specific working condition for QRP? How Swisslog will know when you are using a certain power output or a different transceiver?

It's a good idea but difficult to implement because it has many variables. I always try to automatize as much as possible to avoid user intervention but in this case user will still need to do this "hard" work  Smile
