I'd be a millionaire. But before I get into the reason behind my statement, here's a neat phot of "home"., courtesy of the ISS. "Home" is in the upper right corner of the photo, right about where I put that yellow circle.
Back to my wish.
I use N3FJP's AC Log to account for my Amateur Radio QSOs. I was using Log4OM, which I love, but it has become clunky on my ancient Lenovo T430. One of these days, when I get something with more memory and a faster processor, I may switch back, but for now it's AC Log, exclusively on Windows.
My wish is that Scott N3FJP had a comparable and compatible version for Android, as I usually end up using my tablet instead of my laptop. It's much easier to carry the tablet than a laptop, and it would be nice to be able to have the same program on all my devices and have all the QSOs synced between them..
I currently use VLS Logger on my phone and tablet. It's intuitive and easy to use, but it also does not offer a version for the Windows platform.
If I'm not mistaken, HAMRS may be the only logging software out there that is available for both Windows and Android. I may have to play around with it to see if I like it. I'm not terribly good with change. The other problem is that I invested $$ to purchase a license for the entire N3FJP AC Log suite. I'd hate to not use it now.
I know, a minor first world problem, but most Amateur Radio problems are.

An Android version might be nice, but what I'd be more excited for is a Linux version of the N3FJP suite of software.
ReplyDeleteI have not yet taken to logging on my Android devices and instead opt for pen and paper when away from the shack. It just seems slow and clunky to try and enter logging data on those screens, perhaps getting one of those Bluetooth keyboards for my phone or tablet might make logging like that more effective.
I also log via paper and pen, but I transfer to the tablet pretty quickly while my memory is fresh. I worry that in a few days, I might not be able to read my own chicken scratch! From the tablet, I usually just export an adif to AC log on my laptop for "posterity". I'd love to have a logger where I can just enter stuff on the tablet and it would automatically sync to the laptop. I'm not a software engineer, and even if I was, I'm not nearly smart enough to accomplish such a task.
