Hi folks…when I log contacts in WRL, the band shows up as expected. But when I look at the .adif file that’s exported, the band is missing in the text printout (MacOS/TextEdit). How do I get the contact info in the .adif file to include the band and frequency?

thanks,

Joe/WB0CDY

@WB0CDY Hey Joe,

The band gets exported when its there but looking at your logs (at least your “W1AW/0 operation 6-2-26” logbook) you are missing the frequency. When you add the frequency, the band and mode automatically get set.

Here is a screen recording:

Thanks Brad! That’s it…I’ll go back and add that info to the log. I really appreciate the help.
