Description
When doing a mixed mode activation I will log SSB directly in Polo. FT8 contacts get logged in iFTx. I will save a ADIF log from iFTx and import it into Polo and that works well. However if I continue to log in iFTx any additional contacts get appended to the log it produces. When I import any subsequent logs from iFTx any already imported QSOs become dupes but show as additional contacts. To run a simple test I tried importing the same log twice and it doubled the number of QSOs. Maybe this is by design.
Steps to Reproduce
- Import this file into an operation it contains the first group of ft8 contacts:
iFTx Log 2025-02-09 15/28/46 +0000.adi - Check number of QSOs
- Then import the following file it contains the same contacts plus some additional appended on the end:
iFTx Log 2025-02-09 15/58/43 +0000.adi - Check the QSO tabs and note the Duplicates
Known work arounds
Work around 1
Delete log data from iFTx app after every export so iFTx doesn’t append new contacts to logs already imported.
Work around 2
Go through Polo QSO list and delete dupes
Priority
As I have two work arounds it is low priority at least for me just wanted to report my findings.
