Not all the available fields have to be displayed in the logbook. The user can choose to hide a subset of them by unchecking them in the ``View`` tab. PyQSO must be restarted in order for any changes to take effect.
ADIF
----
PyQSO currently supports the ``NOTES`` field in the ADIF specification, but not the ``COMMENTS`` field. When a user imports a log in ADIF format, they can choose to merge any existing text in the ``COMMENTS`` field with the ``NOTES`` field by checking the 'merge' checkbox. This way, no information in the ``COMMENTS`` field is discarded during the import process.
The records tab allows users to choose if the UTC timezone is used when autocompleting the date and time fields, and whether the band should be automatically determined from the frequency field. Default values for the Power, Mode, and Submode fields can also be specified here.
The user can enter their login details to access the `qrz.com <http://qrz.com/>`_ or `hamqth.com <http://hamqth.com/>`_ database and perform callsign lookups. Note that these details are currently stored in plain text (unencrypted) format.
If the ``Ignore callsign prefixes and/or suffixes`` box is checked, then PyQSO will perform the callsign lookup whilst ignoring all prefixes (i.e. anything before a preceding "/" in the callsign) and the suffixes "P", "M", "A", "PM", "MM", "AM", and "QRP". For example, if the callsign to be looked up is EA3/MYCALL/P, only MYCALL will be looked up. If you get 'Callsign not found' errors, try enabling this option.
