N3FJP2HamClock

N3FJP2HamClock is a Windows application to synchronize HamClock with the call sign entry field in N3FJP logger applications. This application has no affiliation with N3FJP nor HamClock.

This application connects to the N3FJP API server, and when you tab out of the call sign field, it will update your HamClock(s) with the DX of the entered call.

Dotnet Build Super-Linter

Downloading

Click here to download the latest version.

You can also download the latest version or past versions from the Releases section.

Installing

Prerequisite: This app requires the .NET 8.0 desktop x86 runtime to be installed to run. You can download that from Microsoft here.

To install N3FJP2HamClock, run the downloaded n3fjp2hamclock.setup.msi file as you would any other application installer.

NOTE: Windows and/or your browser may give a warning or block the installation because this is not a commonly-downloaded application. This is expected behavior. If you don't trust the installer, you can also compile your own build from the source code here.

Configuring N3FJP

  1. In your N3FJP application, e.g., AC Log, navigate to the Settings > Application Program Interface (API) menu.
  2. If you need to change the TCP port, you can do so here. If you're unsure what this means, leave it at the default (1100).
  3. Click the checkbox for TCP API Enabled (Server).
  4. Click Done.

Running N3FJP2HamClock

Launch N3FJP2HamClock from your Start menu, or from the application folder.

Main Form

Fields:

  • N3FJP API Server: This is the computer hostname running your N3FJP logging software.
  • Port: The TCP port N3FJP is listening on.
  • HamClock URL(s): Enter the web URL for one or more HamClocks to their REST API port (not the live.html port if you're using the web version). If you have more than one HamClock, you can enter them separated by commas, e.g.: http://hamclock1:8080, http://hamclock2:8080.
  • Show Trace: You can leave this unchecked unless we need more information to troubleshoot an issue, or if you just like to see that sort of thing. Otherwise it's very chatty and will show the raw output from the N3FJP API server and some additional diagnostic information from this app.

Once you have entered the correct settings, click the Connect button. Your settings will be saved.

Support

This application is provided with no guarantees it will work for anything. But if you're having problems, please open a new issue and I will try and provide some advice or a fix as my time allows.

More Info

Building from Source

If you wish to compile this application yourself, you are welcome to do so but detailed documentation is beyond the scope of this README.

You will need to download the source code, install the .NET 8.0 SDK, and then you can build using dotnet build --arch x86 --configuration Release src/n3fjp2hamclock/n3fjp2hamclock.wpf/n3fjp2hamclock.wpf.csproj.

You should find the compiled application and DLLs located under the src/n3fjp2hamclock/n3fjp2hamclock.wpf/bin/x86/Release/net8.0-windows folder.

To build the MSI installer, you will need to use MSBuild instead of dotnet build, which is included with Visual Studio 2022 (you can download the Community Edition for free). Once built, the MSI installer will be under the src/n3fjp2hamclock/n3fjp2hamclock.setup/bin/x86/Release/en-US folder. Or you can install the WiX v4 toolset.
