OFFSETS


JAGUAR PRO ONLY

OFFSET LOGGING has been made easy in Jaguar: you can send your loggings to many targets with one single click using LOGBOX.

Offsets can be logged either to text file, MWLI or CATBOOK using the "SEND OFFSET TO ...." function in LOGBOX. It is recommended to share your offsets with fellow DXers around the world and use the MWLI interface for the offset logging. However the current MWLI offset database has a lot of outdated / erroneous offsets and that's why many DXers have decided to collect / maintain their own offset list locally.

The classic offset logging consists of adding a row to a text file. Jaguar's offset log file is named OFFSET.LOG and it is maintained in LOGS folder located in Jaguar installation folder. Each offset logging uses the format "YYYY-MM-DD; BASEFREQ; ITU; Station name; OFFSET", for example

2015-11-05;  972;  NIG; Katsina State R & TV Service, Dutsinma;  972.0007;



MWLI users can use the builtin direct logging interface for logging offsets to MWLI offset database.

If you just want to maintain your own local offset collection for Jaguar, you don't need to use LOGBOX for that: instead of logging to file / MWLI you can use faster "direct offset logging" to CATBOOK: STATION MENU contains a fast "FLAGGER" tool for adding a new local offset.

These "flagged" offsets (also known as "my own offsets") are saved in CATBOOK but they can be also seen in TURTLE as follows



and they can also be presented as

• FLAGS
• MY OFFSET LIST


HOW TO


See LOGBOX, MWLI and STATION MENU help for more details related to offset logging and FLAGS and MY OFFSET LIST for more details how to show own offsets in FLAGS / MY OFFSET LIST.
