FT8 Ops in Unix
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.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJust 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. 73 Mark

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.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHaving 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 ... 73, KX4QC On 1/17/25 22:14, Bill, K4AJ via

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?

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.

Having a difficult time finding a logging program that works on Ubuntu 24.04.
CQRLOG has problems with MySQL.? Same with XLOG.
KLOG will not interface with LOTW either directly or through ADIF file - TQSL gives errors on KLOG generated ADIF file.
Anyone had success with a decent logging program on Ubuntu 24.04?
Thanks |
2 instances of fldigi running - Bug report
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJust 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. Cheers Bob VK2YQA |

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. Peter LaRue AI7YN |
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... 73. Dave G0WBX. -- Created on and sent from a Unix like PC running and using open source software: |

Re: CWID confusion.
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. 73 Dave.

Re: fldigi abort witnessed - Pi 4.2.05.24
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRe:-??? I'll report back here on any progress with the issues I have found, ??? if they regard them as issues of course. 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 pipewire. I don't have an email address to hand but it should be relatively easy to find. Thanks Brian. I will report back after I've found out more. 73.

Re: fldigi abort witnessed - Pi 4.2.05.24
David,

I haven't had time to try troubleshooting, but will follow this thread and contribute as I can.? My first step would probably be getting off the Debian repo version and building the latest.? The GUI package manager and older version on default repos was just the path of least resistance when I set this machine up.?
