- Double-clicking on it.
|
|
|

Deleting a record
|
|

|

An existing record can be deleted by:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
toolbar.

Removing duplicate records
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PyQSO can find and delete duplicate records in a log. A record is a
|
|
|
|
duplicate of another if its data in the Callsign, Date, Time, Frequency,
|
|
|
|
and Mode fields are the same. Click ``Remove Duplicate Records`` in the
|
|
|
|
``Records`` menu.
