If I am entering a QSO with a person who’s on the POTA Spots page, WRL scoops their Park Number, go one step further and scoop their frequency. Should be an easy scoop! 73 and wow this app is great.

@WA7VFQ Hey Jim,

We currently do this. If you double click a spot on the spots page it will load all the data from the spotting network. Additionally if you manually type in a callsign that is in spotting network it pulls in that same information.

Thanks & 73

If I type a callsign I into the Mac app, it pulls the park, but not the frequency. That would great.

@K3ATA Are you using the web app via a browser or the app you download from the app store?

The app from the App Store.

Thanks,

@K3ATA ok so your talking about the mobile app. I’m assuming the mobile app doesn’t auto populate frequency like the web app does. I’ll add this as a feature request. Currently you can click a spot and click copy to log and that should bring over everything though but i guess not manually typing in a callsign that is already spotted in the network

Thanks & 73

Thanks for the reply. I was manually typing in callsigns and this was not happening. I’ll try the double tap.

My workflow for POTA hunting is the follwing:
I run an app called SDR-Control for remote control of my Icom 705 on my Mac.
it includes a POTA spotting spp.
I can click on the callsign and the app tunes the radio to that frequency.

I use WRL for logging. As said, I can enter the callsign and he park, location, distance etc are populated but the frequency is not. I have to enter that in manually. The frequency will be sticky on the next callsign you enter. If you don’t enter the correct freq, it will from the last QSO you entered.
