| # ADIF Import

Menu–>Logbook–>Import ADIF

The ADIF import can be used in two different scenarios:

- Initial import after creating an empty logbook file.
- Adding QSOs from another logger (Contest or portable activity)

For the user definable logging fields see: Preferences–>General.
Contest ADIF file: The received and transmitted control numbers can optionally be imported into the Note field.

#### Initial import

When the log is empty, the options

- Show New Ones and
- No Dupes

should be deselected, because this makes no sense at this point. This can speed up the import routine dramatically.

#### Adding QSOs

When you expect just few New Ones (DXCC, band or mode) check the option Show New Ones. This will increase the needed computing time.
With the option No Dupes, the import of the same QSO (same time, band and mode) will be avoided. This may be useful, when you want to reimport a modified ADIF file. The set option slows down the import routine.
