correction of individual log lines is, of course, possible.

entered. You may correct these reports manually via the keyboard.
NUMBER INIT (Setting the Initial Sequential Number)
The initial Contest Number (or other sequential number to be assigned to each QSO) is entered here.
The automatic entry and transmission of the Contest Number will dramatically reduce fatigue over
many hours of operation.
FIXED STRINGS (Contest Number/Multiplier Memo On/Off Setup)
ON: In a CW contest, this is the area used for enabling input of multiple "memo" columns of data that
will be sent automatically, thus reducing fatigue.
OFF: If there is not need for multiple "memo" input columns, set this to Off.
TIME FORMAT (Conversion of UTC or Local Time for Logbook Time)
When log entry is done in LOCAL (LOCAL TIME-1), the log will automatically convert the time to UTC.
DATE FORMAT (Setup of Date Format to be day/month/year or year/month/day)
The Logbook can be set up for two different formats. When set to DD/MM/YY, December 28, 2008 will
be formatted as 28/12/08. If the format selected is YYYY/MM/DD, the same date will be formatted as
2008/12/28.
