CATBOX
JAGUAR PRO ONLY
CATBOX window is a toolbox window for maintaining station data in CATBOOK. Many
Jaguar tools (logging etc) add/update CATBOOK data automatically and more data
can be added using this window. More details can be found in CATBOOK help.
HOW TO
CATBOX window can be opened in two ways:
• Clicking any station on MAPS or TURTLE opens up LOGBOX. In the middle of
LOGBOX there is a button "SHOW CATBOX" (or "CREATE CATBOX" if the selected
station is not yet in CATBOOK). Click that button to open CATBOX.
• Clicking any station on CATMAP (see CATMAP help for details).
CATBOX allows changing all the data displayed (except continent/country
code/state) - because CATBOX is "user's own view to station" - so for example
you change the name of the station (sometimes the station naming format in
MWLI/TURTLE is not the best possible), format and even the coordinates. MY
POWER can be used to denote the power used in the reception time (if the
station has separate day/night tx powers), MY OFFSET is used in "MY OFFSET
LIST" and "MY FLAGS".
You can change the color of the P-TAG by clicking the CATBOX title header
(repeated clicks rotate the allowed colours, as well as mouse wheel scroll and
left/right arrow key presses).
You can add a DAYTIMER tag to the station (by clicking DAYTIMER button) - the
definition of "DAYTIMER" is not exact so the user can decide what stations
he/she wants to tag as "daytimer".
AUDIO LINK (audio clip file name or the web address to the audio clip) can be
added and the audio clip can be played within CATBOX by clicking the PLAY
button. Next to the PLAY button there is a small (...) button which can be used
to load the audio file name from the Jaguar system CLIPS folder - only one
CLIPS folder location is supported: the system default CLIPS folder is used so
the string must contain only the file name itself (not full path).
QSL LINK will be used in the future, in Jaguar V5 the CATBOX has only this
placeholder already implemented.
Logged stations can also be tracked based on years starting from 2020 (using
the "2020-2030 buttons"), these buttons are updated automatically when a
logging is made.
Clicking DELETE removes the selected station entry from CATBOOK.
If you need to add a historic station to CATBOOK (no more listed in TURTLE) or
you want to add a brand new station (not yet listed in TURTLE), you can open an
empty LOGBOX window by pressing ALT-I. You can log this station (to file /
daylog) if you like, and click "CREATE CATBOX" button to insert this station to
CATBOOK as well. In this case you have to fill also continent/ITU/state and the
coordinates if you want the station to be correctly placed in CATBOOK and
CATMAP.
After you have made all the changes, remember click SAVE before closing the
window.
