Surprised that it was not announced on the reflector yet so I just post the email received yesterday:
New version of free logger for Android devices was released. Thanks to Peter and the team for the new release.
Btw. SMS Spotters are now supported including my OE Spotter.
Hi All
I have uploaded a new release of VK port-a-log to the files section of this group. Log In
This version has been tested by a dedicated group of beta testers however, like all software, there may be some bugs.
This version is compatible with SOTAwatch3.
Please note that VK port-a-log versions before V20191026_01, including Moondarra, must be uninstalled before installing this new version.
All user data will need to be re-entered after installation.
**All prior logs should be copied from the device before uninstalling previous version – just to be sure!
What’s new in this version:
• Post QSO entry is now available - feedback needed please!
• SOTAwatch spots are now processed via SOTAwatch3 - you will need a SOTAwatch3 username and password!
• ParksnPeaks spots are now processed via the new Parksnpeaks API
• GPS coordinates display on the location screen now rounded to 5 decimal places
• “On this day…” notifications only show once per day
• SOTAwatch spots can be set to only show latest spot for each call sign
• ParksnPeaks spots can be set to only show latest spot for each call sign
• Hot keys can be hidden from the logging screen
• On-air call sign can be shown at the top of screen
• Tap SOTAwatch spots title to refresh spots list
• Tap ParksnPeaks spots title to refresh spots list
• Added S2S summit reference to SOTA notes field in combined SOTA csv file
• Increased refresh of Spot sent time
• Five drop down texts for SOTAwatch spot comments (tap underlined word Comments to access)
• Five drop down texts for ParksnPeaks spot comments (tap underlined word Comments to access)
• Short-cuts to common settings from the opening splash screen (tap line starting with asterisk * to open setting box)
• Option to use last selected SOTAwatch spot comment as default comment
• Option to clear existing SOTAwatch spot comment when new comment is selected
• Option to use last selected ParksnPeaks spot comment as default comment
• Option to clear existing ParksnPeaks spot comment when new comment is selected
• Improved layout of logging screen with larger space for callsign entry
• SMS SOTAwatch spots added – including Australia, Europe, North America, Austria, Hungary and Italy
• SMS ParksnPeaks spots added – VK number only
• Antenna in use field added to activation settings, ADIF and _all.csv output files
• Recall of contacted station’s SOTA, WWFF and/or VK Shire reference from the previous QSO on the same local day.
• Access control has been added to allow blocking VK port-a-log versions from accessing SOTAwatch and/or ParksnPeaks if they are no longer compatible.
This option has been added so if for some reason VK port-a-log is causing issues with either site it can be disabled.
• Minor bug fixes.
A new basic user guide has also been uploaded.
If you have any questions about VK port-a-log they can be sent to this group, or if you prefer, to support@vk3zpf.com
