Specifications

QSL_RCVD is updated to D for all values of QSL_RCVD (Y excepted)
If the new digitally confirmed QSO has valid fields for
CQ Zone , ITU Zone, State, GridSquare, Continent or IOTA,
your database will be automatically updated with these values.
(*) If you open a report with .adi as extension, please make sure TRX-Manager
recognizes it as a LOTW report and displays: LOTW Report found... (and NOT “This
action will add.” .. which may add the qso to the database!).
For a full report of the update, you may browse the (\Misc\)LOTW_Error.txt text file.
About the QSL_RCVD field
In TRX-Manager, the paper QSL (QSL_RCVD= Y) has the priority, consequently:

The QSO will be updated only if the paper QSL is not already received (i.e for all values of
QSL_RCVD, Y excepted)

When you receive the paper QSL, it is recommended you update the QSL_RCVD field to Y as
usual

When you update your database from LOTW, it is recommended you choose QSL_RCVD ==>
D for only digitally confirmed QSOs (*)

When you export the log (to any format including ADIF), the D is converted as per your choice (
R or Y) meaning the corresponding information is lost. However, TRX-Manager creates a
special ADIF field so that you can export/import from/to TRX-Manager without any change of
your database.
(*) Choosing QSL_RCVD=Y here is possible but prevents from further update of other fields and is
generally not required since you always have to possibility to change D to Y while you export your
QSOs to ADIF.
Anyway, for TRX-Manager a digitally confirmed QSO is ... confirmed!
Possible problem
A valid Bandfield is required. If your Band field is empty, please run the Tools/DXCC Update
function. This function will format the Band field according to the Frequency field.
Installing the LoTW users list
You must use a text formatting list with only one call per line and no comment. You may
compose a list yourself or download a list from the HB9BZA web site (select text, 1call/line, no
comment) and may be other sites.
