In my early days of amateur radio, I used the ARRL paper logbook. In 1996, I created my own logbook software application, built on MS Access. I used that logging program until a few years ago, when I switched to Ham Radio Deluxe. But there was another logging program I tried just before switching to HRD. I really liked that one. The logging portion of that program was superior to HRD. But HRD had the ability to control my radio, mimicking the buttons and knobs. I have since found that I rarely ever use those radio control features. I prefer to press buttons and turn knobs. So, I decided to go back to the program that provides better a logging experience.
In this video I show multiple ways to change frequency, mode, and band, directly from the N3FJP Amateur Contact Log software. This video assumes that you already have the proper drivers installed and you have N3FJP Amateur Contact Log configured to connect to your transceiver. I covered that in an earlier video, at this link: • Trying Out Amateur Con...
Note: The only limitation I have noted thus far is that I can only post a DX Cluster spot for the last entry in my logbook.
At the end of this video, you will be able to see a listing of some of the supporters of this channel who made this video possible. These are people who have supported the channel via Patreon membership, as what I call long-haulers. Long-haulers have supported the channel on a long-term basis. There are 4 levels of Patreon membership, including S5 (Associate), S7 (Executive), S9 (VIP), and S9+ (VIP+). S9+ (VIP+) denotes an S9 (VIP) member who voluntarily chooses to give over and above the amount for S9 (VIP) membership. They help me continue to produce videos even though most people do not contribute toward the cost of my mission. Without their support, I cannot bring my viewers uncensored content.

If you find my channel informative and entertaining, I hope you will consider joining my support group by clicking on: www.patreon.com/N4HNH There are 3 levels of support, including exclusive content. Visibility of premium content is determined by the level of membership you choose. The higher the membership level, the more content you have access to. VIP members are invited to participate in periodic Zoom meetings.
Most videos are visible to the Patreon team members long before they are released for public viewing. Some videos are never released for public viewing. Yearly S7 (Executive) and S9 (VIP) members have access to the menu optimizations PDFs I’ve written for the FT-891, FT-991A, FTdx5000MP, FTdx101D/MP, FTdx10, and FT-710 AESS. Yearly S7 (Executive) members can receive one menu optimizations PDF while yearly S9 (VIP) members can receive multiple menu optimizations documents, plus my FT8 configuration guide for either the FTdx10 or the FT-710 AESS. Future radios might be added. The documents are copyrighted. They shall not be divulged to anyone else without written permission from Doug McAlexander, callsign N4HNH.

The more I use this software the more I like it!! Great video!
Great to hear! 73
I use N3FJP ACL for Rig Control with my FTdx-10. It's great for POTA Hunting. Just enter the spotted frequency in the Call field , hit Enter, and you are there! It also changes to the correct mode LSB/USB too.
Over 20 years with this perfect logging.. the best KP3T!!!
I have been using this logging program for more than 20 years Scott and family have been fantastic. Great information thank you for sharing.
Thanks Doug - just what I was looking for. I'll let you know how it flies.
I’m you liked it.
Another great video Doug! Best Ham Radio UA-cam channel.
Thanks for another very informative video, Doug!
You are very welcome, Wendell!
Nice video, You can type in the freq. in the CALL box then Enter say 7250 Enter then 14300 Enter on the fly just FYI.. Thanks for the video..
Yup. I thought I showed that in another video.
Hi Doug,
The firmware version you showed is it the Main or Display? I installed the FTdx10 202310 firmware upgrade and noticed a 20% decrease in audio volume when the CONT/APF button is pressed. My Main V01-14, Display V01-05, DSP V01-20, SDR V01-00, AF V01-00. Learned a few tips in this video about N3FJP. Glad I can help you to keep the videos coming. 73 WJ3U
Hi Don! I think V01-14 is the latest main firmware. I haven’t heard of it causing a volume change but it could be. There were some changes to the DSP. I’m B still using V01-04 with mine.
Doug, Thanks for the video - BTW where did you get that little display for the hamclock?
That’s the Veritium HF Clock. It runs a limited version of Ham Clock. It is a stand-alone unit. There are more details about it in the description of my Ham Clock videos.
