Description
Many Radio Amateurs like to collect unique 4-character Grid Squares (called Squares though they are actually rectangles!), and display them on a map. The 'Time Mapper UHD' provides this facility for QSOs in your imported Ham Log (ADIF or Cabrillo), those arriving live via the Logger feed, or those downloaded via PSK Reporter.
A 4-character Grid Square is a rectangle, measuring one degree of latitude high by two degrees of longitude wide, that contains the position of the contact.
The Amateur Radio contacts that are stored in one of the three Ham Logs, those arriving via the live Logger Feed, or those downloaded via PSK Reporter can have their associated Grid Square plotted on the map, as long as the contact was not provided with a random-position.
In the Layer Menu, you can use the 'Additional Layer Features' control that is associated with the 'Ham Radio > Worked Grid Squares' layer to select one of the three Ham Logs, the Logger Feed, or PSK Reporter; then choose to plot all Grid Squares, or only those for a selected Band or Mode (where available).
Grid Squares are classed as 'Points', and have an entry in the 'Point Color' column of the Layer Menu. Clicking the associated button will open the 'Edit Worked Grid Square Style' window. You can then select a single Band/Mode, edit the colors for the single Bands/Modes, or edit the common colors that are used when all Bands or Modes are selected.
