June 2026 Build Released

[Tom Schaefer]

The June 2026 release of TR4W is now available.

You can download this from the https://tr4w.net webpage.

Please note among the many changes is a new TRMASTER.DTA process where the SCP now included the FOC, CWOPS lists as well as the full SuperCheckPartial database.

The full release notes are available here: https://github.com/n4af/TR4W/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md

Read all the way back to May 2026 as that is everything in this new release since May 2026.

A quick summary is as follows:

New Features

• Added X-QSO support — mark a QSO to stay in the log for NIL protection without counting toward your score; works across Cabrillo, ADIF, and all 11 languages.
  
• Column widths in the log view now save and restore correctly after auto-fit.
  
• Added native Kenwood TS-890S support over both serial and LAN, including RIT/XIT, CW keying, memory keyer, and split.
  
• Added HamScore real-time scoring (v3.0 specification)— contacts upload every 2 minutes during a contest with a status window and manual push option
  
• Added the RTC (Real-Time Contest) with distance-based scoring and Maidenhead grid exchange.
  
• Added option to skip the “Difference in logs” dialog on multi-op reconnect (SERVER AUTO SYNCHRONIZE LOG ON CONNECT).
  
• Added a 3830 Score report generator under File → Reports.
  
• Added Tools → Edit Cabrillo Summary menu item so you can edit contest metadata at any time.
  
• Installer no longer UPX-compressed by default, reducing false-positive antivirus detections but EXE is a but bigger now.
  
• Spanish language fully supported including translated command help
  
• Updated bundled callsign database (TRMASTER.DTA) for better Super Check Partial suggestions.
  
• Parallel-port (LPT) keying: inpout32.dll removed from the installer (it was triggering antivirus false positives) — LPT users now supply it themselves from highrez.co.uk; TR4W shows a reminder if it’s missing rather than failing to start
  

Fixes

• Fixed ADIF import so CQ zone is preserved correctly and records without a mode are no longer misclassified as CW
  
• Improved State QSO Party support: rover calls (e.g. KG1S/MON) are preserved in the log, county-line QSOs score correctly, and country lookup no longer misidentifies rover suffixes
  
• Fixed ADIF export for Field Day and Sweepstakes — bogus RST values and malformed serial number fields no longer appear
  
• K4 network connection now stays alive during idle periods via a keepalive ping
  
• Fixed WARC band MHz labels in UDP broadcasts so external scoring tools no longer drop 30m/17m/12m QSOs
  
• Icom network radios now detect a lost connection within ~3 seconds and auto-reconnect when the radio comes back
  
• Bandmap no longer goes blank at startup when a second radio is configured
  
• Multi-op server disconnects no longer block the call window — now shows a status toast and auto-reconnects silently
  
• Fixed CONTEST_ID missing from ADIF exports for 156 contests including CQ-WW, CQ-WPX, and ARRL-DX
  
• Serial numbers now only move forward — X-QSO’ing or deleting a contact no longer causes the same number to be reused
  
• X-QSO’d contacts now remain in external logs (e.g. DXKeeper) and are only removed from contest scoring
  
• Fixed typo in QSO Number pop-up (“QSO nuber” → “QSO number”)
