I¡¯m currently using Ham Radio Deluxe, WSJT-X and Grid Tracker on my Win 10 machine. Works very well. I¡¯m considering switching to Unix. My understanding is that HRD is a Windows Ap and will not work on Unix unless used on a VM. I¡¯m guessing that I would install a VM on Unix and run all three of my FT8 programs in windows. All suggestions welcome.

Just
started - literally today - playing with Qlog.
ADIF import
went without a problem and rig control via hamlib, after
decreasing the polling interval, works like a charm.
I quite
like the interface but I'm just trying work out if/how I can
change the DX cluster from hamqth.
Unlike you
I'm using LM22 and installed the Qlog flatpak (which also
installed TQSL), but I do know that Ubuntu can be configured to
support flatpak pkg's. For example, see
If you
don't want to use flatpak I know Qlog authors publish a PPA
which you can use to install using a deb pkg.
Unlike
CQRlog, Qlog uses SQLlite as a DB engine so there's no need to
install MariaDB.
Anyway just
my two pennies worth and something that might be worth
considering. As I said I've just started playing with Qlog so my
current view of this logging app may change the more I use it.

I am very happy with CQRlog on my Mint 21.3 machine. Do a search on the CQRlog forum keyword "mariaDB" for instructions on a successful install. It requires mariaDB, not MYSQL.

Similar to KX4QC, I have also had success with CQRLOG on Mint 22 which is very similar to Ubuntu.?

I do not believe CQRLOG is under active development by the original authors any longer.? However, an "Alpha" version is being actively developed and maintained by Saku OH1KH and details can be found at:
?
?
Questions on the CQRLOG Forum ( ?? ) are generally answered by someone within a day or two including install and configuration related questions for version 2.5.2 which is the latest official release from quite a while back now.
?
I have tried several of the Linux logging programs and CQRLOG fits me.? It is more than some folks want or need though and perhaps Qlog is a decent alternative.? QLOG does apprear to be under active development and has some nice features.? Unfortunately, there are not a lot of Linux logging programs out there and fewer that appear to be in active development.

Having had CQRLOG running as my log of choice for a long time and
on many distros -including Ubuntoids, I can't help wondering if
something has been overlooked?
CQRLOG, at least here, seems not robust with MySQL, but the
CQRLOG website does point out that one should install MariaDB -a
drop-in replacement for MySQL first, and the install CQRLOG.
IMHO, CQRLOG is so much better than QLOG, but there are
alternatives ...

Re: What are the settings to get Fldigi to control my FTDX10?
Regarding the sound coming from the headphones, this indicates that probably the wrong sound device is selected in sound settings.
?
Regarding the CAT control, I believe? that FT-DX10 use similar commands as FT-710 does.
Why don't you try the FT-710 xml file?

Re: What are the settings to get Fldigi to control my FTDX10?
I worked on getting this radio working yesterday. I got hamlib to at least partially work. I see a waterfall and can control the radio but the response is sluggish. I'm still working on it. I use hamlib with other apps and it works well. Did you get yours to work?

Hello Bill
?
There is also QLOG
There are PPA repositories in order to install and get future updates.
It look like it is an active project.
?
I tried running it on a Linux Mint 22 machine. This is based on Ubuntu 24.04, so it may be suitable for you.
?
Unfortunately, my Linux PC is not my main machine for amateur radio use, so maybe there are issues that I have not faced during the simple testing I have done.
I have not used QLOG for everyday use, so my experience was just: install it, run it and import the log.

2 instances of fldigi running - Bug report
Just for info, I doubt anyone else would want to do this.
Linux Bookworm 12.9, fldigi 4.2.06.20
I run 2 instances of fldigi quite often. Usually to concurrently
decode two different modems. I do however also use remote SDR
download & playback to test modem/flmsg/flamp etc performance.
Have found that the playback of a wav file on one instance, stops
the other instance from decoding the AF stream from the rig, but I
think it does still respond to an RSID.?
ie there is some switchable shared resource that is being used by
multiple instances.
Report for possible interest only.

Re: [KM4ACK-Pi] Trouble installing VARA on RPi4
Dave,
There is no native Linux implementation of VARA. However, Ardop is an alternative for HF Winlink. Ardopcf () is an open source multi-platform implementation of Ardop that I maintain.
The performance is not as good as VARA, and it has some bugs that I'm still working on, but it is usable on both Linux and Windows. It pairs well with Pat (), the open source multi-platform Winlink client. These both also run well on low end hardware including the Raspberry Pi Zero.

Re: [KM4ACK-Pi] Trouble installing VARA on RPi4
I forget it's name, but is/was there not a native Linux implementation of VARA (maybe not all of it) specifically for portable use?
Not sure if it was fully open source though...

I have been doing some evaluations of Linsim and I have
identified a couple of minor issues.?
In my early tests, I selected 1 path and a spread of 1Hz and
and AWGN with SNR=25dB.?
I did one set of tests at a sample rate of 8kbs and another
set at 48kbs. I repeated the tests?
with path 1 selected, a spread of 1Hz, and an offset of +5Hz.?
?
I am using Windows 11+Dell G10 laptop.
?
Observations
?
1. I intercomapared Linsim v2.0.4 and and Moe Wheatley's
Pathsim v1.0. I generated a 1kHz sinewave
with a 60 sec duration at a sample rate of 8kbs. In this case
the time domain wave forms exhibited
very similar envelope fluctuations. When I performed an FFT on
the records the resulting spectra
exhibited a Gaussian shape with the same width. When I applied
an offset of +5.0Hz, the spectrum
shifted up by 5.0Hz with Pathsim. With Linsim, the Gaussian
spectrum shifted down by -5.0 Hz. So there?
is a potential sign error with the offset in the Linsim code.
?
2. I performed an additional set of tests with a 1kHz
sinewave with a 60sec duration and a sample
rate of 48kbs. In this case I did not use Pathsim since it
only works with a sample rate of 8kbs.
I first applied the 1kHz sinewave to Linsim with Path 1
selected, a spread of 1 Hz, and 0 offset.
The resulting output waveform exhibited much faster envelope
fluctuations. This was confirmed?
with the FFT, which showed markedly wider Gaussian
spectrum-the width increased approximately 6x.
?
3. I suspected that this spread issue has something to do
with the different data rates since is 6x
larger than the 8kbs case. I then repeated the test with a
spread of 1/6 = 0.166, that?
corresponds to the ratio of the data rates 8kbs/48kbs. The
resulting spectrum using an FFT showed?
the correct shape and frequency spread.
?
4. I think this spreading issue can be corrected in Linsim
by applying a scale factor to the
?spread that accounts for the ratio: 8kbs/(the selected date
rate kbs)--My best guess :-)
?
5. When I applied a +5.0 Hz offset with the 48kbs sinewave the
resulting spectrum shifted down
-5.0 Hz. So this Offset sign error is the same at the higher
sample rates.?
?
Summary
?
1. Linsim is a robust and much needed update to Pathsim
that enables processing of .wav files?
for a variety of data rates in the range 8kbs to 48 kbs.
?
2. When using Linsim at data rates other than 8kbs, adjust
the spread using a scale factor of
8kbs/(the selected data rate kbs).
?
3. There is a sign error in the offset. So simply switch
the sign of the desired frequency offset.
?
4. I have applied pulse trains generated with Matlab to
Linsim and I will report on my findings?
soon.

Hi Dave.
What I have noticed when it fails to put the rig into Transmit, is...
The T/R button indicator "LED" in Fldigi itself, does not light up as it would usually do.
Therefore I suspect (at this time) the problem is within Fldigi itself.? (Ver 4.2.06 release version.)
This issue occurs "rarely", it is highly intermittent.? But only when using the CWID macro as you detailed.? Normal Fldig usage, from other macro's (the usual cq, answer, and others that key the radio, all work reliably.)
Most odd.

Re:-

I hope it works out, if you have any further problems you could try
emailing Wim Taymans who works for Redhat and is the lead developer
for

relatively easy to find.
Thanks Brian.

Re: Bug report/request - failure of various RsID/Lk operations fldigi V3 to V4
Hi David,?
tnx for looking into this. I have not run down every permutation
yet, but looking good.
- I don't know if it is a good idea to clear the Lk mode on a
modem change. The operators may just be continuing a QSO at a
different data rate. Difficult of course to differentiate between
just staying in the current bandpass vs doing a major QSY.
- When the Lk state is cleared by a modem change (as above), its
LED/indicator stays on. Clicking on it twice brings back the Lk
state.
- I notice the Lk state clears on RSID receipt when "Retain TX
Freq Lock" is disabled (a good thing). It might of course confuse
an operator that has Lk set for another reason and RSID use was
infrequent. One of those "read the manual" situations..?
- Thinking now in terms of NBEMS use (which I know little about,
so just thinking out aloud), I wonder if there is any point trying
to get away from any "pre session netting requirement", by the
setting of Lk and "Retain TX Freq Lock" operationally. Not of
course an issue with an IFK mode, but (say) switching to a wide
PSKR modem for a flamp transfer, then back to the the messaging
modem might be worth a discussion. Also means that operators can
arrive and leave with less setup/config time. Handy if the traffic
has a higher urgency. Would of course need more RSID use.
Cheers Bob

Wonder if you would review this again Dave. Same behaviour in

What I didn't make clear in my OP was with "Retain tx freq
lock" enabled, the operational expectation is that the RX freq
would shift to meet the RSID centre, but leave the TX
frequency where it is. If "Retain tx freq lock" is disabled I
expect the TX and RX to shift together. (which is what it
does)
Note there us differing action too if the modem changes vs
not. Please try a few RSID's of the same modem, then try
changing the modem.

Tested on v4.2.04.11 and 4.2.04.24 against 3.23.21 (By
John VK2ETA)
Using PSK250RC7, PSK500RC3, PSK125RC10 and PSK63RCx (ie
not all modems checked)
With "Retain tx freq lock" enabled in RsID configuration
plus Lk set, V4 no longer enables Lk operation nor splits
the wfall TX/RX for the PSK125RC &? PSK63RC modems.
The PSK250RC and PSK500RC modems act in the same way as
8PSKx and OFDMx modems, shifting TX/RX together, ignoring
the RsID config setting and also not responding to Lk.
It might also be a good idea to force Lk operation when
setting this RsID config parameter and update the tooltip
to explain what is happening.
As it currently stands a mode such as PSK63RC5 is quite
troublesome to RsID tune as disabling TX lock can cause
TX/RX "walking" if any RIT is in play.
And since it is in the same "auto" tuning area it might
be a good idea to modify the AFC button tooltip to grey
out on unsupported modes. ie only single carrier PSK.
