Alerts
An operator can define rules that will trigger an alert in QLog. The rules can be added/updated via clicking on the bell (right bottom corner of the Main Window ) and selecting Edit Rules.
The alerts are
-
shown in the Alert Window; Callsign order is given by this approach. If the Callsign does not exist in the list then it is added to the first position. If it already exists, only the "Updated" count is updated (its position is not changed). The sorting in the window can be chosen by the user. Double-clicking will tune the DX frequency as requested. The specific tune process depends on the information source. When using a DX Cluster as the source, only the frequency and Callsign are used. When using WSJTX, tune is made within the WSJTX application.
-
sent as the Spot Alert Notification message (see Notifications for more details).
