            Backup your data often! BACKUP your log directory at the end of EVERY session!
            All that you need to backup and store in a safe place is the log database directory
            located in the ~/.config/cqrlog/database folder, or you can enable the autobackup function
            in Preferences. This autobackup function creates an ADIF file with a backup of your log.

        <ul>
            <li><strong>Check your ports.</strong> You must be a member of the user group,
                which has permission to use ttyS* or ttyUSB* devices.<br>
                Open command console and give "ls -l your serial port name" and "groups" commands.<br>
                There must be same group, usually "dialout" in both results.<br><br>
                [saku@hamtpad ~]$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0<br>

		[saku@hamtpad ~]$ groups<br>
		saku <strong>dialout</strong> lock<br>
		[saku@hamtpad ~]$<br><br>
		If not try google with "your_linux_distribution_name add user to dial group" to get information how to do the fix.<br>
            </li>
            <li><strong>Check that your radio is properly set up </strong>
                <a href="h1.html#ah7"><em>(see here)</em></a>. Click the 'Settings' button and
                check the port settings - ttyS* or ttyUSB* number and <strong>all</strong>
                communication parameters.
            </li>
            <li><strong>Is the poll rate set too fast?</strong> Try a lower setting (higher number). Your qsos usually lasts longer than 5 seconds so even ẃith value 5000 the right frequency is there before you save your qso.</li>

    <a name="ah41"><em><strong>CQRLOG is very slow or does not run at all</strong></em>
        <ul>
            <p align="justify">The accompanying problem is an abonormally high CPU load. The problem
                is instant polling of a non-existent (not responding) radio. Your radio setup is
                probably incorrect. Try to downoad a default cqrlog.cfg from the CQRLOG web site
                (www.cqrlog.com) and copy it into your /cqrlog/log_data folder. Backup your old
                cqrlog.cfg before if you want. The default cqrlog.cfg redirects all polling to the
                hamlib dummy radio (model=1] and the high CPU load should return to its
                normal values.<br><br>Then you should set up your radio again.
                Don't use too low a poll rate, a value of 300 is sufficient.</p></ul>
