Information on TOTAL HAM PLUS
As of TOTAL HAM PLUS Version 2.0 the following new & enhanced features are
available to the user.
SUMMARY:
Much faster, easier to use menus (lite bar).
Much more info is now available from the input of all logging modes.
ALL checklists including the new zones checklist, the callsign allocation
table (for all the strange prefixes), authorized frequencies for class of
license.
Net & contest modes now allow picking up a previously used file. Useful for
on-going nets & contests.
Personalized print outs.
DETAILED CHANGES & ENHANCEMENTS:
1 - Menus are now lite bar selections. Light up the option & hit return.
Zap your there. ( Comming back to this version after developing the
plus versions shows me the value of them ). The menus also have a
short help box describing the option.
2 - Most print outs now are personalized with your callsign & the date of
the printing.
3 - Printed logs now have page numbers. Printing the whole log starts from 1 &
printing since last printing will pick up the number it left off at last.
4 - You can now search the beam heading file by country name if the prefix
is not remembered.
5 - added an abort to all printer functions. ESC will abort, & form feed.
6 - Net logging now saves its additional file (you name it) so you can leave
the area & come back with out losing it. It also auto enters the net name
into the contest field, now refered to as the contest/net field.
the next time you enter net logging you are asked if you want to start a
new net or if not, all the files *.NET are displayed & you can re-activate
any of them.
7 - The above now makes it safe to exit the area with the F1 key instead of
END. Accidental exit before lost the info. F1 is now active through out
in place of END.
8 - contest logging was changed to to match the net logging format.
contest file carry the extent of *.CNT.
9 - contest processing was changed to match above.
10 - editing of existing beam heading entries was added.
11 - input of the dates in log printing & log editing was fixed so that a
2 character field is displayed.
12 - changed the state side K's to W's in the new beam heading files. This
now matches the countries list which carries W as the primary prefix
for the USA.
13 - You can now add to, delete from & printout the beam heading file.
14 - Configuration now states 720K floppies. 360K are now out of the question.
Had deleted this but decided to put it back in case a user had to revert
to floppies for some reason (new machine not complete, bad hard disk, etc)
15 - In the contest logging mode, if mode is CW '599' is entered as signal
strength.
16 - Long path has been added to the beam heading file.
17 - Manual entry to the log now carries over the previous freq, time & signal
reports.
18 - In all logging modes F4 now brings up a checklist menu. This allows any
checklist to be available at all times.
19 - The above allows county hunters to use any mode & have his checklist
available. This was the only difference in county hunter net logging so
that mode was deleted.
20 - This also freed up another function key ( F6 ) to be used for information
screens. International allocation of callsigns, Frequencies legal for
class of license are available at this time.
21 - Added a paged display of the qsl managers list when called from logging.
Allows a partial call to be entered & get a list of matches. example:
HC will give all HC's with managers.
22 - Added the ability to resort the log by date & time. The log print out
options print the log as it was entered. If users entered some manually,
then entered live, then manually again, the log will print out in that
order. The option in the log maintenance menu will resort the log in the
proper order, date & time. Will take a little time to do but it should not
be neccesary to use often.
BE CAREFUL OF DISK SPACE AVAILABLE & I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU REMOVE ALL
TSR'S BEFORE RUNNING THIS OPTION.
23 - Added ability to set your own left margin on printouts. allows you to
set up for 3 hole punching of the printouts. Default is 4 spaces.
24 - the frequency is now printed on the log printouts.
25 - Zones are added to the main menu. You have either CQ dx zones (WAZ) or
ITU zones. You will be asked which you want.
NEW files zone.dat, zone.idx, zone1.dat & zone1.idx. add to your directory.
26 - Now displays the sent & rec signal reports in the receive qsl card option.
27 - reconfiguration will be forced on start up. along with the new set up
the countries file will be fixed. Mispelling of 'Nambia' will be fixed &
the new country 'Rotuma Is. - 3D2' will be added to the list. This one
DOES NOT replace 'Fiji - 3D2' it is in addition to. It will also check
the counties for the mispelling on WI's Columbia county
