L32Lookup for Logger32
L32Lookups.exe is an application that is used for doing Call Sign look-ups in Logger32.
L32Lookups has been entirely written in vb.net and is written so the call sign look ups are modular.
It currently contains modules for doing look ups thru QRZ HTML interface and QRZ XML Interface.
As time permits I plan on added other look up services into the program.
This application has an auto-updater built in so when an update becomes available the user will be
asked if they would like to update the program and the updater will download and install the new update.
This application can be installed anyplace outside of the Program Files structure (Program Data, Program Files, Program Files(x86))
If installed within those directories communications with Logger32 will not work.
See the L32LookpsInstall.txt file for further setup instructions.

Any questions feel free to ask…
Please note: I have switched to a new installer for my software. I have had a lot of reports that the users anti-virus software is blocking the download or the actual install. If you find yourself in this situation you will need to pause your anti-virus software wile you download and install the application. After installing you should also enter an exception into your anti-virus software for L32Lookups.exe.
I followed the instructions in the readme file. In the “Lookup from caption” box, I entered “L32Lookups”. In the “External program name” box, I entered “c:\L32Lookups.exe.Webview2” (which is where I put the files). I eliminated the QRZ info that was defaulted in those boxes. Yet every time I enter a call sign in the log entry pane and tab to the next box, the #22 window opens but gives another window that says “Can’t find QRZ lookup module. And there’s no info in the #22 window.
What am I missing?
I entered “c:\L32Lookups.exe.Webview2”You need to have \L32Lookups.exe at the end of the path/ Without that Logger32 doesn’t know what it is looking for..
Why would you create a folder name like that. Most would enter just the default which is C:\L32Lookups ?

Hi Rick,
Recently I installed L32 on my laptop and followed up with L32lookups. Everything seems to go as per your instructions until I press “Start” and try a call sign in the log window. It doesn’t respond with the data. Where should I look for the fix?

Gerard..
Sorry for not responding sooner I never seen the notice there was a new message from you..
In Logger32 have you configured the lookup path in the Setup External Lookup?? The other place I would check is to see if you setup what info you want Logger32 populated with. and the last thing to check in click on Setup from the top menubar and when it opens click on the AutoLookup menu. and select use External Lookup.
Let me know how you make out..

Hi Rick,
I got a problem with my QRZ lookup, i did an update and after that no matter what I do I cant get L32 Lookup to work correctly I followed all your instructions I get the populated QRZ look up page in the taskbar but I get an error saying “I got a message from L32Lookup to say a requested lookup has completed but I cant find the file. Are you sure L32Lookup knows that Logger32 is running in the C;Logger32 directory?”
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Rick, sent you a message yesterday about L32 Lookup not working for me after lots of messing around I have got it working again, not even sure what I did to get it working again !!
Sorry for taking up your valuable time
Cheers

Hello Rick,
Resently I have noticed a change in the way my FT8 contacts are logged into Logger32. Previously the Lookup window would stay open for a few seconds after the WSJT-X window would open o log the contact and certain extra information was transferred from the lookup window into the logger32 log entry. But recently I have noticed that the Lookup window disappears as soon as the WSJT-X log window appears. The extra information is populated in Logger32 when I chick on the log entry and select update QSO.
Haven’t been changing thngs lately as it all worked and has done for sometime.
Any thoughts? And thanks for all the great software.

Colin..
Bob made some changes to Logger32 a month or so ago that is the culprit to what you are seeing. He made it work but for some it is still not quite right I don’t think. I have not worked any FT8 in a while I am just to busy to work anything at the moment..

Hello Rick,
I’m sorry to bother you, but for some time now, when I first open Logger32 and enter a call in the main “Call” window and click on the signal report window, I receive all the QRZ info on the call in the popup window. But when I end the QSO, and enter another call in the main “Call” window and click on the signal report window I do not get the QRZ info. I noticed the previous call is still in the popup information window with the new call behind it. Like N5TWWA5LHM. Instead of just the new call WA5LHM.
It appears when I Log the previous QSO, the call is not removed from the popup window.
I know I’m missing something and just to my end. Can you give me something to try to get the previous call to be removed from the Popup window call area?

Hi Bill..
You are using a very old version that is causing your error. The error you are reporting was fixed3 years ago. Download the newest version from the top of the page you wrote your message on. Make sure you use windows app unnstall before installing the latest version.

Hello Rick, for the past few weeks, whenever the Orca logger opens the QRZ.com page, the “QRZ LLC asks for your consent…” panel appears. I am unable to confirm it; the “Consent” tab does not respond, and the page remains greyed out. Do you have a solution? Thanks in advance. Regards.
Unfortunatly I do not have an answer. There is another user experiencing the same thing. He sent me a couple of debug files that show the HTML that is gone thru when you do a lookup. That window does not appear anyplace in the html he sent. I am guessing that it is some script that is running on the website. I would think you would be able to click in the buttons with in the window I also do not have an answer for that either..

Hello
Each time I look up a call, in the top of the window it shows an update available.
But when I down the update and try to install, it says I have a newer version already installed?
My current version is 1.0.18.0
I see the newest is 1.0.31
What am I missing on the install?
Do I need to uninstall and install new, and redo setup?

Hi Bill.
For some reason the installer has lost the pointer for the version installed on your computer. Use the window app feature to remove the currect installed version on your computer. Then run the new version installer and things should be back working. Make sure you reinstall it in the same directory so it can use the .ini file that is left after installing..
