📻 HAM RADIO 📺 Possibly the BEST Logging Platform 👍

[@m0bob]

I must have something configured incorrectly. All my contacts are going into the General Log on Station Master and bypassing LOG4OM. I set up the 2333 port ADIF etc on both WSJT-X, LOG4OM etc.

[@johntheglass]

Thanks for putting this together, will be trying it shortly, m0hfh

[@mkaylor]

Hey Stu, Looks great. Are you working on a MAC version???

[@G5STU]

I have attempted a C++ cross platform version but hit too many issues for one man to deal with. I intent to build a new version using flutter, that will run on mac but it's a way off yet. Thanks.

[@lonewolfhamradio]

I’m constantly amazed at the standard of software available for amateur radio 😮

[@DonzLockz]

I have not used any logging software yet as I don't have a HF tranceiver yet. It looks a bit confusing to me. I don't know what an omnirig is but I'm probably more concerned why I would need to turn of antivirus, that will raise a red flag as especially you did not explain why. :/ I still have alot to learn but I may need simpler software to start with. Good luck to you with the software. Do you have an Android app version aswell?

[@G5STU]

Thanks for dropping by, this software is as simple as it gets, it was designed by me as a new operator for new operators, I've avoided adding all the bells and whistles of other logging systems. The A/V issue is just because the program has not been digitally signed using a code signing certificate, I am in the process of getting that done this week. That should stop any AV Warnings.

[@Nick_G7IZR]

You said you were only going to support Omnirig going forward, but Omnirig doesn't have native support for my radio: FT-710. It doesn't have the FTDX10 either from what I can tell. I know you'll suggest contacting Omnirig, but you would always be reliant on them coming out with support for a new radio. How quick are they normally? (I guess that is another question for Omnirig). One of the other radios might work, but I know the CAT commands differ on the 710 slightly which is why WSJT-X had to provide native support for it.

[@G5STU]

Hi Nick, thanks for the feedback. OmniRig v.1.2 supports the DX10, many station master users have that rig. I have this week added support for FLRig, which gives a few other options there. As for the 710, I've been unable to get hold of the CAT spec. As you probably know, it's usually just a case of adding a new .ini file to the OmniRig folder to support it. I don't know any more than that at this stage.

[@Nick_G7IZR]

@@G5STU I've never used Omnirig and just downloaded v2.1 (which one would assume is newer, better and more uptodate?). That doesn't have the FTDX10 in it, I'm looking at the list right now in front of me, it goes from the FT-991 to the FTDX1200. No FT-710 either. Why do you mention v1.2 rather than 2.1?

[@G5STU]

@@Nick_G7IZR you need v1.2 not 2.0, due to politics, the v2 one is a totally new program built by one of the original developers, they fell out. V1.2 is the one you should use. Thanks

[@Nick_G7IZR]

@@G5STU Ah, ok 😁 Let me try that... thanks!

[@G5STU]

@@Nick_G7IZR no problem, it confused me too when I first started using OmniRig.

[@RabMac108AT10six]

@G5STU Hi Stu .Any ideas I installed your desktop program . I've been using 991A and Win4yaesu>Log4om>WSJTX. Is your program able to work alongside win4yaesu or do you recommend using either/or .. Thanks again

[@G5STU]

Hey, yep will work , you will need to get com0com running and use that as a bridge between omnirig and win for yaseu, see the com0com videos on my channel .

[@elmodiddly]

Hi Stu, just found you after your recent video with DX Commander. Very impressive software, once I get over my stage fright and manage to make more regular contacts I'll be diving right in. Two questions, if I may. I have an FTM 300DE. Neither Station Master or other logging software supports my radio, so I am down to manually logging, which is fine. Are there plans to widen support or will my 300DE work pretending to be another model of Yaesu? The second question is that the full product is a subscription each month; is there an option for the whole annual fee up front?

[@G5STU]

Hi, I'm not sure about the radio and rig control, if you do some googling for "OmniRig FTM 300DE" you may find a way. It's monthly sub only at the moment for the full package with access to everything, Thanks.

[@andy2E0JIU]

Hi stu is this just for apple as cant find a download for Windows? Looks good if I could download it but keeps taking me to apples app store

[@G5STU]

Hey Andy, click the download link on this page station-master.online/post/125 for the Windows Version

[@andy2E0JIU]

@@G5STU nice one thanks loads 👍

[@gfmucci]

Question: Using Rig Control with my IC-7100, can D-star still be used? Or what special needs to be done?

[@G5STU]

I guess so, I don't use dstar so no ideas, sorry

[@matknight]

Cheers Stu, just what the doctor ordered. I have several other logging platforms but this seems to work with ease. Will download a little later when back in the shack but for now, thank you and keep up the good work.

[@G5STU]

Thanks Mat, it's missing a few features but does all the essentials :) Get in touch if you hit any problems. 👍

[@matknight]

@@G5STU Thank you Stu, much appreciated and will do if i run into any problems. 73.

[@matknight]

​@@G5STU Hello Stu, downloaded Stationmaster, all went good, but when i tried to download the omnirig cat control zip file nothing happens unless im missing something.

[@terrybaileysr.3714]

Does the desktop version work on my MacBook? Does it log my DMR qso’s? Does it send those qso’s to qrz and LOTW?

[@G5STU]

Windows only at the moment, lotw not automated but it’s coming soon, thanks .

[@andy2E0JIU]

Hi stu GREAT programme!! Will it upload to qrz and log40m at same time or just to one of those? Only problem I had was ptt don't mute but prob because there's a big blank space where you show tick boxes

[@G5STU]

Hi Andy, thanks. Interesting , I'll fix that PTT thing this evening. As for LOG4OM, it doesn't send logs to LOG4OM but it can listen for them, so when you log in LOg4OM they will appear in Station Master and the station master site. I'll have to see if I can make it work the other way too.

[@andy2E0JIU]

@@G5STU it only sends from master to qrz if qrz is running I'm background?? Loving your programme the way it opens the profile on qtz when you type a callsign in

[@G5STU]

@@andy2E0JIU Cheers. When you log in the desktop app it will not go straight to QRZ but will go to station master site. to send to QRZ you can highlight all the contacts in the general log tab and click send to qrz. or go the the logging page in the station master website and it will say 123 logs need syncing with QRZ, just click that. I think I'll add an option to have it fully automated.

[@andy2E0JIU]

I'd use it all the time if the logs carried over to log40m as well.loving it

[@lavallelaabs]

Will this app work with Maria db? Maria does not generate an adif file

[@G5STU]

It yet sorry

[@OutdoorOpsWales]

Awesome Stu, new to ham radio and I’ve just found your software I love it, using it with hamclock at the moment, was wondering is something like hamclock to be added in the pipeline as a add on? That would be awesome, please add it in lol

[@G5STU]

Welcome, yes I do have plans for such a thing.

[@TheAntonymer]

6:08 :: "Check your junk as well"... LOL

[@speedymartin2]

Is it possible to log full duplex (2 freq + 2 modes) as for example in the SSB satellites?

[@G5STU]

No not yet, but eventually yes 👍
