Auto log with Varac Tags ???

Version 2.7.2 looks really exciting, and you bet I will be installing and using it tomorrow.

I read the following in the announcement "Auto exchange & logging of NAME, QTH, LOCATOR using VarAC TAGs". What does this mean? What is a VarAC TAG, and what do I need to do to have this auto exchange and logging happen?

Thanks in advance, Joe WD4KAV

There is a "gestures/Tag" button that shows you the syntax. But simply if you use NAME: follows by some text then that info will be populated into the other station's NAME section of their log. Same for QTH: and LOC:

e.g. <NAME:gary><QTH:NC><LOC:FM15qd> will then fill in those 3 fields of the other station. Put it in your Welcome message and it will fill when they connect, or make a "canned" message.
