Reported: on a CQ macro the rig drops to RX between words instead of holding TX
for the whole macro. Root cause is PTT not being held (usePTT off, or the RTS
PTT line not wired/honoured). Improvements:
- "Key PTT line" now defaults ON when the Serial engine is selected — without it
the rig runs on semi-break-in and drops between words.
- The serial keyer's line options (PTT, key line, invert, lead/tail, speed) are
now atomic and live-updatable: SaveWinkeyerSettings -> ApplySerialConfig applies
them from the next character, no reconnect needed.
- Each transmission logs its PTT state / key line / lead/tail, so a rig that
still won't hold TX can be diagnosed from the app log.
The macro itself is sent as one string (not fragmented), so PTT is genuinely
held across word gaps when usePTT is on — pending on-air confirmation via the log.
Opt-in (Settings → General). Shows a "MW #rank" pill next to the DXCC entity
name in the entry-strip band/slot matrix — ClubLog's Most Wanted ranking
(1 = most wanted), personalised to the operator's callsign and refreshed daily.
- internal/clublog/mostwanted.go: fetch mostwanted.php?api=1&callsign=<CALL>
(rank→DXCC JSON, real User-Agent), invert to dxcc→rank, cache to
<dataDir>/clublog_mostwanted.json; NeedsRefresh invalidates on callsign change.
- app.go: keyClublogMostWanted setting, a.clublogMW, startup refresh goroutine,
activeCallsign() helper, and Get/Set/Download bindings mirroring the cty ones.
WorkedBefore now carries MWRank (qso.WorkedBefore.MWRank) when enabled.
- BandSlotGrid.tsx: MW pill next to the entity name, colour-tiered by rank.
- SettingsModal General: toggle + download button + status, mirroring the
ClubLog cty-exceptions block.
Also reorganises the changelog: the theme-persistence fix (landed after the
v0.20.11 tag) plus this feature go under a new 0.20.12 entry; 0.20.11 keeps only
what shipped in its binary.
Confirmed from an FT-891 CAT log: OpsLog tuned via OmniRig's SetSimplexMode,
which returned OK on every spot click but never moved the VFO (readback stayed
put), while SetMode on the same .ini worked — so the CAT link was healthy and
only the frequency write was a no-op. SetSimplexMode was chosen because Icoms
accept direct FreqA writes but don't move; Yaesu/Kenwood are the opposite.
Now, for non-Icom rigs (or if SetSimplexMode errors), also write the VFO
frequency property (FreqA/Freq) directly, which does move them. Icom keeps the
SetSimplexMode-only path so the Main/Sub VFO isn't nudged by a direct write.
Some CW interfaces key on the opposite line level (transmit at rest / key
backwards). New "Invert keying (active-LOW)" toggle flips the asserted level for
both the CW and PTT lines, and the idle state drives both lines to their
inactive level accordingly so an active-low rig isn't left keyed at rest.
Default off = N1MM convention (line HIGH = active).
Adds a 4th CW keyer engine alongside K1EL WinKeyer, Icom CI-V and Flex CWX:
OpsLog bit-bangs the Morse itself on a serial control line (DTR keys CW, RTS
keys PTT — swappable), the hardware-keying method N1MM/WSJT use with a Yaesu
SCU-17 and generic interfaces. No WinKeyer chip needed.
- internal/winkeyer/serialcw.go: serialKeyer — worker goroutine, morse table,
WPM + Farnsworth timing (live speed changes), abortable, PTT lead-in/tail/hang.
- winkeyer.Config gains Type ("k1el"|"serial") + CWKeyLine ("dtr"|"rts");
Manager routes Connect/Send/Stop/SetSpeed/Backspace/Disconnect to it.
- app.go: keyWKCWLine setting; WinkeyerConnect sets Type from the engine.
- Settings -> CW Keyer: new "Serial port (DTR=CW/RTS=PTT)" engine with COM port,
key-line selector, speed/Farnsworth/lead-in/tail/PTT. Macros, auto-CQ and
<LOGQSO> reuse the WinKeyer path unchanged.
UNTESTED on hardware (no SCU-17 to hand): polarity assumes N1MM convention
(line HIGH = active). Weight not yet honoured; Farnsworth is.
The rig's 0x27 waveform frames carry the same leading main-scope selector byte
as the dual-scope IC-7610/9700 (`27 00 00 <seq> <total> …`), but the code keyed
the layout off the CI-V address and treated the 7300 as selector-less, reading
the sequence from Data[1] (always 0x00) so every frame hit the `seq == 0`
guard and was dropped — blank scope. The waveform parser now detects the
leading selector byte from the frame itself (address-independent), and the
scope config/set commands (mode, span, edges) include the selector the 7300
requires. The IC-7610/9700 path is byte-for-byte unchanged (main → idx 2, sub
frames skipped). Confirmed against a real IC-7300 CI-V capture.
SetScope(false) sent both 0x27 0x10 00 (scope DISPLAY off) and 0x27 0x11 00
(CI-V data output off), so quitting OpsLog blanked a local IC-7300's own scope
screen. Only the display-on (0x27 0x10 01) is now sent, and only on enable;
disable stops the CI-V stream alone and never touches the radio's display.
The multi-frame waveform header (USB path) read the second frequency field
as an absolute high edge, but in center mode it is a span — so high < low and
the panadapter had no valid range to map the trace onto (blank scope). It now
applies the same center+span vs low+high disambiguation the IC-7610 single-
frame path already used. FIXED mode was unaffected.
Also stamps changelog 0.20.10 with today's date.
- Station Control: the amplifier panel is now the exact same card as the FlexRadio panel (extracted shared AmpCard: OPERATE/STANDBY, ON/OFF, power level, output-power bar, live FWD/ID/temp meters). Every configured amp gets its own card — no dropdown.
- Help → "Send log to F4BPO" (only when SMTP is configured): e-mails opslog.log + previous session + crash log to the developer. New email.SendFiles for multi-attachment.
- Bulk edit: new "Frequency (MHz)" field sets freq_hz AND recomputes band; out-of-band values rejected. Fixes a run logged on a stale/default freq after CAT dropped.
- Cluster: Time column sorted lexically on the HHMMZ string, so spots after 0000Z sorted below 2359Z and looked frozen at the UTC rollover. Now sorts by real arrival time.
- Also folds in the DVK auto-CQ/2-column layout and Station Control dashboard batch (changelog 0.20.10, EN+FR).
Multi-amp: Settings->Amplifier becomes a list (amps.json, legacy single-amp keys auto-migrate to entry #1); one client per enabled amp with per-id bindings (GetAmplifiers/SaveAmplifiers/GetAmpStatuses/AmpOperate/AmpPower/AmpPowerLevel/AmpFanMode); legacy a.pgxl/a.spe/a.acom point at the first enabled amp of each family. Amp cards in FlexPanel and Station Control gain a dropdown to pick the amp; the status bar shows one clickable chip per amp. Use case: two SPEs run in parallel.
Flex v4 DSP (8000/Aurora): NRL/ANFL (lms_nr/lms_anf), NRS (speex_nr), NRF (nrf) with level sliders, RNN (rnnoise) and ANFT on/off — keys per the FlexLib slice docs; the section only shows when the radio reports these keys (dsp_v4 flag), so 6000-series panels are unchanged.
The station-control code rebuilt a fresh driver on every status poll and every
relay set. Stateful boards (Denkovi FTDI D2XX, USB-serial) hold an OS handle only
one opener can own, so the first poll opened the board and leaked the handle, and
every poll after failed with 'device in use' — the relays greyed out a second
after Save and auto-control never switched. Drivers are now cached per device and
reused, closed on config change. Adds a Test-connection button + detect feedback
in the device editor (reported by VK4MA).
Day/Week/Month/Year now show the anchor day hour-by-hour, the last 7 days, the
last 30 days, and the last 12 months — anchored to the period end (else now), in
real date order. Replaces the cyclical hour-of-day/weekday/day-of-month/month
buckets, which left future days empty and ordered the weekend after Monday.
Backend adds cyclical distributions ByHour (hour-of-day), ByDOW (weekday), ByDOM
(day-of-month) and ByMonthYr (calendar month), all UTC. The Activity-over-time
card gains a selector: Timeline keeps the chronological month trend; Day/Week/
Month/Year show the hour/weekday/day/month distribution as bars.
Adds Stats.ByBandCategory (per band: CW/phone/data counts, band-plan order) via a
modeCategory() bucketing in stats.go, and a StackedBandBars chart in the Stats
panel showing the split per band with a legend.
- Removes the RX-audio CW decoder: deletes app_cw.go + internal/cwdecode, the
cwDecoder/cwPitchHz/cwMu/cwStop App fields, and all frontend state/effects, the
header Ear button, the Tools menu item and the decoded-text strip. The CW
KEYER (WinKeyer/Icom/Flex) is untouched.
- Fix: typing a callsign while a macro is keying now aborts the CURRENT engine
(Flex CWX / Icom / WinKeyer) on the first character, not just WinKeyer during
an auto-call loop — via a shared stopKeyerTx() helper.
Implements the SPE Application Programmer's Guide protocol: packets
0x55 0x55 0x55|CNT|DATA|CHK (sum%256), OPERATE key 0x0D (toggles STANDBY/OPERATE)
and STATUS request 0x90 whose 0xAA-framed reply is a 19-field CSV (mode, RX/TX,
band, power level, output W, SWR, V/I, temp, warnings, alarms). internal/spe
polls status ~1/s over USB serial (go.bug.st/serial, 8N1) or TCP (RS232-to-
Ethernet bridge) — same codec, different transport.
Wired via startPGXL (starts the SPE client for spe* types), bindings GetSPEStatus
/ SPESetOperate, and a live status card + OPERATE/STANDBY toggle in the Amplifier
settings panel. Only the two example-anchored commands are sent (safe); other
keystroke codes were ambiguous in the guide's table. Untested on hardware.
- Denkovi (FT245 D2XX) now selectable as 4 or 8 relays (a 4-relay board just uses
the low nibble); NewDenkovi takes a count, driven by the device's Channels.
- New 'usbrelay' backend: cheap CH340/LCUS USB-serial boards over a COM port
using the common A0 protocol ([0xA0][relay][state][checksum]); write-only, so
Status is a shadow. Channel count configurable (1/2/4/8/16).
- StationDevice gains Channels; deviceRelayCount() drives label/relay counts for
the variable-size types. Device editor: channel selector + COM-port picker
(usbrelay) / FTDI-serial (denkovi).
Both untested on hardware; the A0 command set / Denkovi bit order may need a tweak
after a live test.
Third relay device alongside WebSwitch and KMTronic. Despite enumerating as a
COM port, this board is driven via FTDI D2XX synchronous bit-bang (one byte = 8
relays, bit 0 = relay 1), not serial ASCII — so we load ftd2xx.dll at runtime
(no CGO) and call FT_OpenEx/FT_SetBitMode/FT_Write, addressing the board by its
FTDI serial (e.g. DAE0006K), exactly like the vendor tool. Windows-only (stub
elsewhere); ListDenkoviDevices enumerates connected serials for the picker.
Wired into relaydev (Count/Status/Set), app.go (deviceDriver/relayCountFor/type
whitelist + ListDenkoviDevices binding), and the Station device editor (new type
+ FTDI-serial field with Detect). Untested on hardware; bit order / on-polarity
may need a flip after a live test.
Completes the CWX type-ahead loop: with send-on-type the keyer-panel CW text
already streams each typed char to the radio's CWX buffer (which keys in order,
so you can keep typing while it sends); this adds the matching un-send. Route
wkBackspace to FlexBackspaceCW -> cwx erase N, so backspacing a mistyped char in
send-on-type removes it from the buffer before the radio keys it.
DDFM now derives the French department from the address postal code, not only
from a note typed by hand — the catalog def gains the address OR-rule (\d{2}\d{3}
-> Dxx), France+Corsica scope, and version 2. On next launch every operator whose
DDFM is unedited auto-upgrades to it (user-edited copies are offered it); the
materialised award_refs then recompute so ~500+ French QSOs gain their department.
Also: a catalog definition update now clears the award_refs backfill flag, so any
future catalog bump self-heals the stored columns without a manual flag bump.
Award refs are now computed once and stored on the QSO as a JSON column
(award_refs, e.g. {"DDFM":"74","WAJA":"12"}) instead of recomputing the whole
award engine on every grid page load. Written on log/edit/UDP-import and
bulk-recomputed when an award definition or reference list changes; a one-time
per-logbook backfill materializes pre-existing QSOs. The grid reads the column
directly like any other field, so it's fast and available everywhere (including
the shared MySQL logbook).
Also fix per-profile grid column layout: the DB copy was already per-profile,
but the localStorage cache used one global namespace and shadowed it, so a
profile switch kept the previous profile's columns/widths. gridPrefs now scopes
the cache by active profile id and the grids remount on profile:changed.
The 7610-only FreqA gate broke CAT on the 7610 when FreqA was momentarily 0.
Match DXHunter/WSJT-X: read FreqA first for all rigs, fall back to the generic
Freq (IC-9100 etc.), then FreqB. OmniRig's generic Freq maps to VFO B on the
7610, which is why keying off FreqA is correct.
GetQSORate now returns both the active operator's rate (their own performance)
and the whole station's rate (all operators combined). RecentRateBreakdown
computes both in one scan of the recent rows (per-operator + all-operators),
replacing RecentRate.
The targeted extras write used SET extras, but the column is extras_json, so
sending an OpsLog QSL card (and the recording stamps) failed with an unknown-
column error. Use the real column name.
The multi-op live status heartbeated every 15 s, so an operator who left the
log open but stopped working still showed on air. Now it publishes an explicit
online flag: online when a new contact was logged within the last 5 minutes,
offline otherwise. live_status gains `online` + `last_qso_at` columns (added to
existing tables via ALTER). Logging a QSO (manual, UDP, ADIF monitor) stamps the
time and republishes at once, so they flip back online instantly.
At launch the last-QSO time is seeded from the DB (Repo.LastQSOTime), so an
operator who worked someone just before starting OpsLog is shown online right
away rather than offline until their next contact. LiveLastQSOAgeSec exposes it
to the UI badge.
Status clobber: sending an OpsLog QSL card (or stamping a recording) read the
QSO, did slow work (e-mail send), then wrote the WHOLE row back from that now-
stale copy — silently reverting clublog/qrz_qso_upload_status from Y to R that a
concurrent auto-upload had just set. That's why QSOs "showed R again, but only
with QSL sending on", intermittently. New Repo.SetExtra does a targeted
`UPDATE qso SET extras = ?` that touches only the extras column, so an app-field
stamp can never clobber another column. Used by SendEQSL, markRecordingSent and
the recording-path stamp.
Logging speed: the log path no longer runs a callsign lookup at all — the e-mail
already arrives on the QSO from the entry lookup, so the second one was
redundant and stalled logging on a slow/not-found QRZ. And the entry lookup
(LookupCallsign) is now bounded to ~2 s: providers get 2 s, then it falls
through to cty.dat instead of spinning 10 s+ on a call that isn't in QRZ.
The single-worker upload queue introduced head-of-line blocking: one slow
upload (LoTW signing via TQSL, or a service on a 30 s timeout) stalled the
whole queue, so every following QSO's Club Log upload waited and the rows sat
at "R". Operators on the older, concurrent build had no such problem — the
tell that this was a fresh regression.
Back to one goroutine per upload (never serialised), so a slow upload never
holds up the rest, while keeping the transient-failure retry with back-off
(concurrent, so it can't block anything).
OmniRig: on the IC-7610 the generic Freq property reports the wrong VFO (its
Main/Sub model confuses the stock ini), so OpsLog showed VFO B. Detect the rig
by RigType and, in simplex, read VFO A explicitly — matching Log4OM. Only the
7610 is affected; other rigs keep using the generic Freq.
Icom network: when the rig tears the session down (control/CI-V 0x05) OpsLog
only logged it and kept the half-dead link until the 6 s liveness timeout
expired. Mark the link dead on 0x05 so Alive() fails on the next poll and the
manager reconnects cleanly right away.
A QSO logged via UDP / ADIF-import fired `go m.upload` per QSO, so a pileup or
an ADIF-import burst hit a service with dozens of concurrent requests at once.
Club Log's nginx answers that burst with 403; the upload counts as failed and
the QSO stays at "R" while a lucky few go through — the real cause behind the
"it's uploaded but shows R" report (not the earlier display race).
Route all immediate/delayed auto-uploads through a single serialised worker
(one at a time, 250ms apart) so no burst ever trips a per-IP rate limiter.
upload() now reports whether a failure is transient (HTTP/rate-limit) vs
permanent (not eligible, wrong station callsign, no record); transient ones
are retried with exponential back-off (up to 4 attempts, 1s/2s/4s), so a QSO
that hit a momentary 403 ends up marked instead of stuck at R. A full queue
falls back to a goroutine rather than dropping an upload.
