ADIF Import Export

KLog reads and writes the ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) standard used by virtually every logging program, which makes it easy to move QSOs in and out of KLog.

Importing

From the Main Menu, File → Import from ADIF ... imports an ADIF file into the currently selected log. This is the standard way to:

• Bring in QSOs from another logging program when switching to KLog.
• Merge in QSOs logged elsewhere (e.g. a portable/contest logger) into your main KLog logbook.
• Recover QSOs from a backup ADIF export.

KLog checks for duplicate QSOs during import (see the Dupe time range option in Settings → Miscellaneous).

Exporting

• File → Export to ADIF ... exports the current log only.
• File → Export all logs to ADIF ... exports every log in the database into one ADIF file.
• From Search, Export Highlighted exports just the selected/searched QSOs.

Automatic ADIF handling

In Settings → Miscellaneous you can configure:

• Save ADIF on exit — automatically export an ADIF backup every time you close KLog.
• Use this default filename — always save to the same file rather than asking each time; set the path with Browse.
• Delete always temp ADIF file after uploading QSOs — KLog creates a temporary ADIF file when uploading to online services (LoTW/eQSL/ClubLog/QRZ.com); enable this to have it removed automatically afterwards.
