What's new in Turbolog 4 (V4.07-Build 341)

Dear TurboLog users!

Welcome to the large TurboLog community. Here are latest and important news for you:

There are links from our Download page and our list of Services and Prices to the ShareIt website. This is where you enter your address and the necessary credit card information. Please do not forget to include your call in your address information. We need your call in order to produce the licence key.

After ShareIt has checked your information and found everything being correct they send us an automatically generated e-mail with your data and ordering information. As soon as we receive this mail we will send out the license key to the e-mail address which you provided. This should not take longer than 24 hours ... typically... worldwide. In the meantime you can already download and install the program.

New Release of Turbolog 4 (V4.07-Build 341):

Main topic of the new update is the Multi User Network Access in TurboLog:

1. This is great news for:

A virtually unlimited number of machines ( desktop PCs, Laptops, Tablet PCs, etc. ) each of them running TurboLog in a common session can now be interlinked by a standard LAN or WLAN. A cluster like this can be run by just one operator on different PCs at his home or by a group of operators. They all work on one common set of data tables, i.e. on one common log data base with multiple remote access in realtime.

The database server in a network configuration is a separate program which we are not allowed to distribute without registration. Thus, there is a small licensing charge for this great service. The network server has to be installed in a separate action. This procedure and network operation is described in great details in the updated online HELP and/or Manual.

There is no noticable change for the single operator. He can just update as normally and continue with his habits and work style in TurboLog.

2. You can now export to the LoTW in just one run. All you need to do is to set up Automated LoTW Support, select the particular log records and proceed to TurboLogs Export facility. Your submission is automatically send to the ARRL by e-mail. This is real joy for all LoTW users.

3. For those running more than just one log, i.e. QSL managers: All data tables in TurboLog can now be backed up in one run.

4. ADIF-export: Control strings for program identification and program version are now included in the file header.

5. The Country database was amended for numerous new prefixes and country assignments in Russia.

6. The Country database was also amended for the 4 new PJ - countries with respect to reassignments, deletion, new entries and countrynumbers.

7. The ADIF database was amended accordingly.

8. The IOTA database was amended for Curacao as SA-099.

9. YAESU's FTdx5000 transceivers were added to the list of DEVICES.

Besides this: A couple of bugs were fixed and some of the major tool packages in TurboLog were replaced by updates. This is a time consuming continuous background maintenance activity.

Of course the Online HELP and the TurboLog MANUAL were updated for all the many new features.

This version's Help/Manual now consists of:

In order to benefit from the goodies you should read the appropriate HELP topics. All amendments are listed in the menu item on Version Information and on our web site.

 

*Services and Prices:*

Unfortunately our list of Services and Prices had to be updated in order to cope with new regulations concerning VAT in the European Community ( EC ) and in Germany in particular. These new regulations became effective at the beginning of 2007 already. Claiming to operate as a reseller our e-business provider declared himself being forced to deduct the full VAT rate ( ...19% ) from your transfers ... besides his ordinary handling charge which he takes anyway. This gives rise for the adjustments we had to make. Furthermore, the exchange rate to the US-$ has become so unprofitable with respect to our fixed prices in $ that we had to adjust to this development in a special move.

Sorry, however, we have found a work around, at least for all our customers in the EC. Thus, not everything is becoming worth these days with new EC-regulations. Bank transfers in EUROs within the EC now free of additional deductions. In view of this positive event we will keep our old prices ... as they are now ... for those ordering by transfer to our bank account. This new way of cost effective ordering simply requires to follow the international transfer procedures which require to know two new identifiers.

Here they are:

1. IBAN (International Bank Account Nr): DE57 2915 2670 0010 6773 34 and

2. BIC (International Bank Identification Nr.): BRLADE21VER

It would be helpful to inform us of your transfer by sending an e-mail for information in order to let us monitor the process. Do not forget to mention your CALL on all transactions and your address, i.e. your e-mail address for sending you the license key. That's all. We think this is the good part on the news with respect to prices!

You will find all new price informations on our website.

 

*Last but not least:*

We now wish you lots of fun with TurboLog 4.07!
