operator; the Date, Time, Band, and Mode will automatically be entered and saved.

: Besides the above information from the Contest log format, you can enter the Country,

City, Name, and other data.
In addition to the call sign, RST and REM, COUNTRY, CITY QRA, etc data can be added.
All of the DATE, TIME, CBAND, CMODE are automatically saved; once again, the Date,
Time, Band, and Mode will automatically be entered and saved.

entered. You may correct these reports manually via the keyboard.

will be sent automatically, thus reducing fatigue.

When log entry is done in LOCAL (LOCAL TIME-1), the log will automatically convert the time to UTC.
