I have noticed that for a while when I enter a callsign into QSO Work Window, the 'NAME' field always has either 'Mr' or 'Mrs', etc in it! is this a problem with HamCall or UcxLog as it looks like UcxLog is mapping the wrong field and instead of the name filed it is showing the 'title filed.

Hello James,

UcxLog copies the HamCall data field "184 . . . . . . . . First Name" into "Name".
I do not find a HamCall field "Title".

Pse, tell me an example call sign to check it.

I have started to see this appear on all of the stations here, I am not sure for how long this has been happening, as I normally reboot the systems every few days and if there is an update it just gets applied, but a couple of the operators that use my radios here started to notice this.



If you see in the 'Call Book', his name starts with 'Dr', and this is being picked up and placed in the 'Name' field of the 'QSO Work' window.

I have had a quick look around to see if anyone has been fiddling here but all looks to be OK.

Hello James,

I checked my program source and found an old comment of mine because I detected already this problem:
Newer HamCall CDs do not longer fill the "First name" field, only the field "186 . . . . . . . . Last" is used for the whole name.

I will detect and skip the "Dr" word of the name string in the next beta (next week).

Postscript: In your example M0SFR I have to suppress the following "First name" because it is only "A".

Happens with other that have Mr. Mrs, etc as well.

I added some checks to skip "Dr/Mr/Mrs" in 7.21 Beta 10.

Thanks for that Ben, Very much appreciated.
