P-TAGS
JAGUAR PRO ONLY
Jaguar incorporates so-called P-tags (the user’s private tags) which are
used to categorize stations based on loggings and user's wishes. P-TAGS are
saved to CATBOOK database (see more details in CATBOOK help).
In the beginning P-TAGS are disabled: all the stations on MAPS are always
marked with a yellow star and all the rows in TURTLE have ** in the beginning
of the line. As soon as you start using Jaguar tools for logging/offset logging
or "tagging" (special function used for setting tags), Jaguar creates the
CATBOOK database for you automatically and sets the P-TAG for logged/tagged
stations. All stations which are logged (or the offset is logged) become
automatically "tagged stations", all other non-tagged stations will be set to
P0 in the beginning (P0 = YELLOW).
P-TAGS are used in queries, Captain's Logmap ("CATMAP"), hotlist displays,
documentation of user's DX-history etc.
Even though all the P-TAGS are saved only in the CATBOOK database, they are
also echoed to TURTLE data rows on the screen.
After the CATBOOK has been created, stations will have P0-TAG by default.
Station's P-TAG can be changed in several ways:
• Logging a station (automatic tagging)
• Logging an offset for the station (automatic tagging)
• Using FLAGGER = adding "My own offset", see STATION MENU for details
• Using TAGGER = adding/changing a P-TAG, see STATION MENU for details
• Using LOGBOX (see LOGBOX for details)
• Using text editor (for example Notepad++) in CATBOOK.txt (not
recommended, see CATBOOK for more details)
When the P-TAG is changed, the colour on the MAPS and the visual representation
of the lines in the TURTLE window is changed according to the tag.
The tags can be from P0 to P5 and the user can decide on the meaning of each
tag. However, by default
• P1 = "QSLed" (coloured as white on the MAPS)
• P2 = "Hot station" (recently logged by others or otherwise being "most
wanted", red colour)
• P3 = "Heard/logged/reported but not QSLed" (black colour)
• P4 = "Logged" (blue colour)
• P5 = "User-defined meaning" (green colour)
In the following example this default setup is slightly changed (P3 being
"potential, keep in mind").
HOW TO
P-TAGS are added to the system using
logging/flagging/tagging tools as described above, instructions for how to use
these tools can be found in the LOGBOX and STATION MENU help sections.
The default P-TAG for automatic tagging for logged stations is P4 (blue). If
you are not happy with that and want to use some other P-TAG for logged
stations, you can change it in [CUSTOM] parameter LOGTAG, for example if you
want to show all logged stations as red on the MAPS, you can define
[CUSTOM]
LOGTAG=2
