Thank you very much for a most useful program. I have a small problem, which is that all the UK summits (and only the UK summits, I think) seem to have a locator of JJ00AA, coming from the Summits_REF.csv file. Is there a way to fix this please?
Hello Simon
Thanks for pointing out the bug
Now, you may run again Saisie SOTA; the program will download a new Summits_REF.csv file with correct grid locator.
The bug was coming from 2 fields named Gridref1 and Gridref2 (in the database summits file list) which are filled with Longitude and Latitude in most of country except for UK summitsâŠ
May be Andy can explain what are these fields ?
There are 4 co-ordinate fields in the database. Gridref1 and Gridref2 are used for local co-ordinate systems where these are known. The next two fields contain Longitude and Latitude and these should be used by any software using an extract from the database. In the case of G, GM and GW Gridref1 contains the Ordnance Survey grid references and these are generally what people use in navigation. All the lines on GB maps are based on this system.

Some AV such as Avast says that there is some bad little beast in the program.
It seems that it is a âfalse positiveâ.
My softwares are tested with Windows Defender, Microsoft Security Essential and with Trend PC-Cillin. They do not detect any virus.
To download the program you have to stop your AV and donât forget to put it on afterâŠ

Itâs not just accessing the ZIP file that causes the problem itâs accessing the whole of the SOTA-France web site (yes I can tell it to ignore it and let me access the site, but it seems to me that it must have blacklisted the whole site for some reason).
Thanks for your fine programm. I am using Saisie since mid of 2014 when I first noticed it here on the reflector.
I am still using Verison 9.2 and I am fine with it. Is there any change log to see if an upgrade would be worthwhile for me? I am very conservative with software and hate to upgrade a flawless running systemâŠ
Hello Alain, thank you for your work and happy 2015!
Iâve just tested the new version, importing an ADIF file from my last activation. It has been exported from Log4OM with just standard fields and ADIF v3 format, and I have found this:
While Saise expects the worked SOTA reference (S2S, I mean) to be at field âHIS_SOTA_FIELDâ, ADIF 3.0.4 uses âSOTA_REFâ for this, and âMY_SOTA_REFâ for the own summit code. (Info found at [ADIF 3.0.4 Specification][1] )
Being this field fixed, it cannot be changed (obviously). So, could the program be changed allowing this one to selected and modified, as the others up like SOTA ADIF TAG, WFF ADIF TAG and RIG ADIF TAG do? Or in other case, might it be changed to follow the ADIF standard?
73 and thank you again

EDITED:
Used ââ as field delimiters because it seems to happen something weird. Using the âminor or bigger thanâ symbols, the strings inside disappear!
[1]: ADIF 3.0.4 Specification
Hello Heinz
The main change is an improvement for those who wish to send informations about their rig on the QSL card; so I added a field âMY_RIGâ in the ADIF file.
Some bug corrected such as the backup Adif file which was not working well.
If the 9.2 version is OK for you, you may keep it.

Hello All, Happy New year and thanks Alain for improving your soft Saisie Sota.
May be for Mikel in the next upgrade it will be usefull to swap SOTA_REF instead of HIS_SOTA_REF.
So Saisie Sota will be complient with standard ADIF.
(i will just have to modify/delete a personal Item in DXkeeper for a correct import); easy to do!)

You are both right. So, the new version (V10.1) will be downloaded when you will start the program.
Now the S2S ADIF tag will be âSOTA_REFâ (you may choose another if your logging software doesânt know)
Alain,
Will it be usefull that when one enter the SOTA_REF (in S2S box) the GRID_SQUARE box (son Locator) fill up by itself?
Serait-il utile de remplir automatiquement son Locator si S2S?
