Grid locator from qrz.com?

Werzi2001 opened this issue · 6 comments

I did some quick tests with the app an it really looks good. One thing that I noticed is that the grid locator is not filled by the data from qrz.com. Does that have a specific reason? Might it be possible to be added? Thanks a lot.

Just checked on current master branch. After entering the callsign the rest of the data is filled from qrz.com API.

Maybe this depends on the type of qrz.com membership? I am a premium subscriber there ...

Very strange. For me the locator is not filled. But instead the name is filled which doesn't seem to be filled for you. I'll check if it might be subscription related but I'm pretty sure that this worked in CloudLog itself. Strangely it doesn't work there at the moment as well. Maybe there was a change (maybe related to subscription).

Yes you have to be a subscriber:

The functionality in CloudLogOffline is not related to the functionality in CloudLog here.

However, there is a strange bug #35. Sometimes the name is just not taken from QRZ.com. Its kind of a heisenbug because everytime i want to debug it it works.

Interestingly @phl0 just reproduced that with his screenshot :-D

Tried to re-produce again. But now it works .... 8-)

Do you see my problem? :-D

@myzinsky Thank's for the clarification. You're right. Locator only works with active subscription. I think the reason why it works in Cloudlog is that Cloudlog uses previous QSOs (if there are any) to retrieve the data as well. So with new call signs it doesn't work as the data is coming from QRZ (just like in CloudLogOffline) but with following QSOs it works as the data is coming from the previous QSO (which of course can't work in CloudLogOffline).
