Ernst, thanks for the reply. I’ve used it a bit—it’s simple and straightforward, no hassles. But then, of course, all sorts of thoughts start creeping in—wanting this feature or that one—and it could go on forever. I agree with you 100%. So, let’s just leave it as it is; I’d like to make a donation—purely as a gesture of appreciation for your excellent work. Best of luck and all the best to you.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Alexander. I’m really happy to hear that you enjoy using Twigger.
Regarding your suggestions: Twigger is intentionally designed to stay very small and compact, so things like larger fonts are currently left to the Windows scaling options. Support for WSJT-X/JTDX/MSHV via UDP in Twigger is mainly focused on log/QSO data, and live transfer of station details when selecting a callsign in those programs is a different feature area. As for CW computer control, that is an interesting idea, but it is not something I currently consider part of Twigger’s main purpose as a lightweight logger.
Twigger is freeware, but as mentioned on my website, I generally reserve direct support and feature requests for donors, simply because development time is limited. Still, I very much appreciate your feedback and your kind support.

Greetings, my friend. It’s a wonderful little program; I’ve always wondered how to find or create something that packs so much functionality into such a compact package. I do have two—maybe three—requests. First, I’d like the option to increase the font size, as my eyesight isn’t great. Second, I’d like to be able to launch programs like WSJT-X, JTDX, or MSHV directly from your application; I tried launching JTDX, for instance, but when I select a station, the callsign and other details don’t transfer over to your program—even though I configured the settings for 127.0.0.1 and port 2237 it would be great if you could add computer control for CW (Morse code) as well. Otherwise, the program is fantastic. I’ve never seen anything like it—a tiny program that does so much. You have my utmost respect.
Alexander.

Ernst,
I’m happy to see that the new release 1.1.35 took care of the QRZ.com query issue.
I’m also having fun with the nice looking LP100A-UDP application.

Thank you again, I really appreciate your contributions to the HAM community.

Ernst,
I’m extremely happy with your application and I’m very thankful for it. It works lighting fast and it does what most people will ever need. Regarding the query. I use the same username / password and API key that I use for other apps such as GridTracker, HamRadioDeluxe, Log4OM.
With Twigger I can log in contacts to QRZ.com but I can’t get it to Query. Also, I have an active subscription to QRZ.com

Thank you very much

Glad you like it 🙂
About QRZ.com, be sure you have:
* correct user/password for qrz.com
* active subscription on qrz.com (otherwise query is very limited)

This is the perfect logger. Impressive fast and it imported near 48,000 contacts in a blink of an eye. I have tried several previous versions but for some reason auto query for QRZ.com always gives me a connection error, however, it does the QSO logging OK.
