1.0.0 - Released

Jarrett, I just wanted to thank you for updating the software. I used the new software twice already and it is performing very well. I have always been a great supporter of HAMRS, even though I was one of the users that lost some QSO’s & Logs over the past few months on my iphone. This app makes my POTA activations run so smooth. I will continue to recommend this App to all our POTA newbies #POTAddict #POTAmbassador

Thank you for the kind words. I’ll be honest, my gut always dropped to the floor when I heard folks lost logs. I wanted to just pack it in, if only to save somebody from that. I knew how to fix it, but I just had no time with work and family, so I hired somebody from work to do it and keep my weird little side project alive lol :wink: I’m EXTREMELY thankful that you stuck with it.

Hey I was working on the chnages to the WFD template - and this is dawned on me to ask - Would the FD template work for WFD? Here is the Field Day template:

I think the only thing is FD uses the term ‘Class’ over ‘Category’? Or that could be something that I completely made up. Regardless, both of those fields translate to MY_CLASS and CLASS in the ADIF spec. So if they aren’t different, I could still use the same template, but change the labels. Thoughts?

As far as I can see, aside from the class vs. category terminology the logs are the same.

I confirmed the same issue on Windows as well. Hope it helps.

Hey, thanks for continuing to upgrade the app, I really like it for POTA. I had this problem with an earlier version and do not remember what I did to correct it but the pause button does not keep the time and date paused. Have to change it every time (I log paper then put it in the app later). This is on the winter field day template, I also sent the log to POTA using that template with no problems. Running android on a Samsung j7. May try an uninstall and reinstall the app.

Did the uninstall and reinstall, no difference. I tried it just to see and the pause button works if it is the same month but not the previous month.

Weird. I’ll take a look and see if I can reproduce and get a ticket made for it.

I am sure the order doesnt matter. I noticed a similar issue with the last version where if you updated a QSO… maybe corrected a busted callsign, it would put that QSO at the end of the ADI. The TIME_ON field remained correct however, which is the thing that counts. I have submitted multiple logs in this condition without any problem. I would say it would be nice to have corrected, but certainly not critical

It looks like the Jumping Callsign Cursor bug has a cousin: Jumping Their Park Cursor. I had not noticed this until the latest update, but it may have been in previous versions.

I logged 238 QSOs yesterday. No data loss! It’s a great tool and you’re making it better with each update. Thanks!

@Jarrett I was able to replicate the “time pause” bug on my iPad mini. Entered a few test QSOs dated Feb 1, and in the middle of entering one (my second or third) the time and date reverted to the present. The clock icon remained red, however. It is repeatable. If you want a recording I can make one.

Also mentioned in this thread:

Jarrett…Thanks for providing the GOAT POTA app. My call is in your “about” field. I continue to suggest hamrs to everyone, and use it for activating as well as hunting at home.
Best…Dave

For me on Windows, the previous version would not pause the time for more than ten seconds even though the button was red. In the new ver the pause button keeps the field blank between entries which is also frustrating because I have to re-enter the date for every entry.
thanks for all your work

I created a mega-thread to consolidate reports here: [Megathread] Time Pause Bug

@Jarrett This was mentioned in another thread, but as it is related to pausing time and entry of historical logs, I thought this would be worth capturing here. I don’t think you caught this yet as a bug.

When entering an historical QSO, HAMRS exports a “QSO_OFF_DATE” in the ADIF that reflects the date the QSO was entered into HAMRS instead of the date the QSO occurred.

For instance, if I enter a QSO today (Feb 6) for a POTA activation that occurred on Feb 1, HAMRS will correctly export the actual QSO date and time but today’s date will be entered in the QSO_OFF_DATE field.

See attached screen shot.

Thank you! Got it fixed. I’ll be building beta releases in the next day or two. Be on the lookout for Desktop beta links in the Beta forum, and iOS and Android Releases on your devices.
