If your group is not yet in the dropdown list when creating a new net, choose the hamburger menu in the upper right corner and select 'Create a new Group' from the dropdown. It's never necessary to enter a name for a valid callsign. If you are both leave the default (Refresh or Manual).Įntering Station call signs (There are a number of possible ways to do this.) All entries can be done with a TAB TAB TAB (triple tab) after entering a call sign only. If you are the logger but NOT net control leave the default (Manual). If you are net control and NOT keeping the log, set your refresh to 5 seconds. If you are monitoring the net, set your refresh to a "Timed" number of seconds. This is still not 100% because many countries do not publish their current amateur callsign information. At the same time it adds latitude, longitude, first & last name, and other key information to the open log you are on. Thanks to the people at Buckmaster () double clicking a DX (international) callsign now updates the stored information about that call in the stations table.

It is a personal ICS-214 just for that callsign, easily printable or it can be saved as a PDF by your browser. This report is displayed as a pop-up modal when you right click in the 'Time Line Comments' column of any row. Both these scenarios are discussed in the 'Station Location Considerations' discussion a little further below. The second is to give NCM the ability to track the movement of a staton over time.
The first would be to more easily change a statons location (latitude, longitude, grid). The new 'W3W' and 'APRS_CALL' columns have at least two uses. Names like Safety, SAG, Rest Stop, for example during a bike ride can help finding a specific call sign easier. One use for the 'Team' column will be to allow sorting of the table based on a team name. The functionality of all three is still in development especially the last two.
Recent Changes: 2022 Check out the new facility type netīe sure to check out Station Location Considerations for a discussion on the importance and means of knowing the location of each station logging into your nets.Ģ022 has seen an expansion of the optional columns with the additon of 'Team', 'W3W' and 'APRS_CALL'. This net will stick around for a while so come back and play with it more, re-open the net (right click the 'Net Closed' button) add some more calls, etc. Then when you are complete be sure to close your net. Add stations, delete stations, sort columns, edit fields, do all the things you would do during a real net. Go ahead and create a TE0ST net from the drop down. Using N C M like any application of this type should be practiced. If the NCO is also the logger, do NOT set a timed refresh value. Set the timed refresh to 5 or 10 seconds.
I suggest you keep it open on your computer as you call the net. N C M was also designed to be easily usable by the Net Control Operator ( NCO) alone, however someone else keeping log while you control the net is always a good idea. Its many features are aimed squarely at these ideas. But of course works perfectly with your weekly club social net as well. The N C M is designed to make ARES, RACES and other EM net logging and reporting as easy and intuitive as possible. This is not meant however to be a replacement for pen and paper, which will always be your best backup should something go wrong.
The Net Control Manager ( N C M) program was designed to make Amateur Radio Net check-ins, management of net resources and net reporting easier and more efficient than using pen and paper.
