March 25 IOS Slow to grab qrz info

Hello

I am finding in the past few activations that my IPhone is now noticeably slower than it was in previous versions to load qrz info on a call sign during a qso. Now a qso is often finished and logged without seeing the qrz info come up.

I have tried from different sites and do not think it is a cell data issue.

Any thoughts on this?

Is it a free qrz account or a paid one?

I’m not exactly sure, but it seems that something changed at QRZ a week ago about how they limit queries from free accounts.

Hi Sebastian

It is a free account. I don’t think it is a request quantity issue because on today’s POTA activation, I had not made any previous queries to qrz.
Interesting…

Rick,
How many lookup services do you have active?
Do you have all these active?

I noticed this too - also with a free account. Almost none of the QSOs in the park had QRZ data assigned to it. Somehow I was able to add it after the fact by “touching” each record.

Hi Alan

These services are active on my phone.

Callsign Notes
HamDB.org Callsign Loookups
QRZ.com Callsign Lookups

I will turn on Call History to get info from past qso’s.

Thanks for the interest.

Rick if you want to improve performance during an activation, reduce the number of online lookups.
Alan

Thanks for the advice, Alan. I will give it a try.
