Propagation Mode

[Michael-AUG]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make some slight amendments to Tobias' cloudlog rigctld interface.

For some reason, whenever the interface uploads data to CloudLog, it defaults to SATELLITE in the propagation mode.

What value can I send to the API to tell CloudLog that there is no special prop_mode being used? I have tried 0, " " and "" but, while these may work for one upload, CloudLog then defaults back to Satellite.

Many thanks

Cloudlog expects the following style payload, anything not required completely remove.

{
    "key": "YOUR_API_KEY",          // API-Key
    "radio": "QO-100 Station",      // Name of the radio (used for assigning received data)
    "frequency": "2400170000",      // Frequency in Hz
    "mode": "SSB",                  // Mode
    "frequency_rx": "10489670000",  // Optional Rx frequency in Hz
    "mode_rx": "SSB",               // Optional Rx mode (not logged)
    "prop_mode": "SAT",             // Optional propagation mode
    "sat_name": "QO-100",           // Optional satellite name
    "power": "5",                   // Optional transmit power in Watts
}

Hi.
Thanks for this.
I've removed the non-required fields but Cloudlog is still seeming to default to Satellite.
Even when I try using CloudlogBashCat I have the same problem.
Is there any chance there is something inside Cloudlog that is defaulting to Satellite, ignoring what the interfaces are sending?

Don't believe so, just tested with CloudlogCAT here and its not defaulting to satellite when I select the rig control.

Other thing might be to delete the radio from the hardware interface page and just in case its left over weirdness

Amazing - deleting the radio from the hardware interface page seems to have done the trick. Thank you :)

I am seeing the same thing. In rigctlCloudlogInterface.php, if I send prop_mode as "" or " " or if I don't send a "prop_mode" at all, when I go to the Live QSO page, it shows the mode as "Satellite". I removed the rig from the hardware page, restarted the client several times, and it still always defaults to Satellite propagation mode.

Ant other suggestions?
