The Packet Screen

General Features:

This screen is exclusively devoted to the Packet operations and intended to be in foreground while logging takes place only occasionally. The following is a screen shot of the Packet Screen. The Packet table shows spot highlighting for IOTA references in the Comment field, for Calls which have been worked before and the DXCC slot analysis in the DXCC Indicator Field:

Figure 238:     The Packet Screen

The Packet screen is composed of the following frames:

•The Packet Information Frame

•The Packet Control Panel

•The Country information Frame

•The DXCC Matrix

•The Alarms & Messages Frame

•The Status Bar

The referenced frames are common objects and used throughout TurboLog 4.

The Packet Information Frame:

This frame is identical in all features to the one inserted in the lower part of the main logging screen. The only differences are:

•The input line is activated by default on the Packet Screen

•The TNC Terminal has been made available on the Packet Control Panel.

•All Call information directly controls the Country information frame.

Please note that one of the Comment fields is highlighted in the sample screen shot above. This is a result of the Packet Spot Highlighting facility. The example shows an IOTA-keyword being found in the Comment field. This turns this Packet spot into important information for the IOTA chaser.

The Country information Frame:

The only difference to the frame used on the main logging screen is that country information is derived from the call of the packet spot. This is indicated in brackets behind the caption of the frame.

The Status Bar:

This facility is described in a separate paragraph.

The Packet Control Panel, the Alarms and Messages Frame and DXCC Matrix are outlined in the following paragraphs.
