When you go back to the POTA spotting page after quickly logging a contact from the spot list, can you add an option to filter the list automatically by frequency instead of by Date/Time? While hunting, every time I go back to the spotting page to scan frequencies for activators and scroll through the bands, I have to re-click the frequency sort button and wait for it to load, then scroll down the list to where I left off.
It would be super helpful if we had the ability to set our default list view by frequency instead of Date/Time. I greatly appreciate your site as Iâm getting deeper into the world of amateur radio, you make it fun and easy to track and hunt activators.
You can use the âspottingâ tab inside your logbook with filters in place to show, for example, only pota spots and then just click the frequency label in the grid to sort by frequency. (see below).
Hey Brad, thanks for getting back to this post so quickly! I am actually talking about when you are in the Spotting page, under the map at the bottom of the page it lists all active spots across whatever you are filtering for. That list automatically sorts by Date/Time and I tend to filter out the list by frequency instead of Date/Time so that I can scroll through the frequencies of the posted spots, so that I can see if I hear any POTA activators and try to make contact. Every time I use the quick log button in the spotted list and log the contact, when I go back to the spotting page the list of spots is again sorted by Date/Time and I need to click on the frequency sort button so that it re-sorts them by freq.
Current default loading of the Spots page (Frequencies are out of order and it is filtered automatically by Date/Time):
After clicking on the arrow next to Frequency, it filters properly by the frequencies of the spots so that itâs easier for me to spin the dial on my radio to get to the next spot listed:
After I log the next contact, when I go back to the Spotting page, the spots section is again defaulted to Date/Time and I have to re-sort by frequency. It would be awesome if I could set a default view option for the spotting page to automatically filter by frequency when I open the page so that I donât need to re-sort every time I go back to hunt.
To be honest, I just learned about the Spotting tab inside of the Logbook settings on the right so that actually makes hunting a lot more efficient than going back and forth between the pages but it still looks like the list in the Spotting tab reformats to Date/Time filtering when I navigate to another page and go back to my Logbook to the Spotting section. Having the default list view include a default âSort Byâ setting would be great there as well as on the main Spotting page.
@W2GSQ So the âSpottingâ PAGE is more meant to show a list of active spots vs being used like the âSpottingâ tab inside the logbook. Where the spotting tab inside the logbook is used for active hunting and logging. Everything inside the spotting tab should persist until you go to a different page then youâll need to resort. We will be making changing soon so that it stays persisted even after going to a different page.
