OH1KH 9fedad69d7 Documentation fixes
- changed version number to 2.5.0 in main help page.
	- changed OH7AN to OK2CQR in all help pages as understood from your web pages "OK2CQR is back" that you returned to your old callsign.
	- went through https://github.com/ok2cqr/cqrlog/commits/master and added some lines to CHANGELOG. I'm still sure that not all things are in the list.

	Perhaps it would be good idea to add a changelog line as the first line of pull request text. Then it would be easier to collect them afterwards.

	This is not complete list. I would be happy to see more additions or fixes to current CHANGELOG also from others!

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.

TRX Control window Shows current frequency and buttons allow change of Band, mode, memory and rig. Additional selections are User defined buttons, Power buttons, Vfo A and B buttons and memory information field.
<br>When pressing band selection button rig moves to that band using predefined frequency of currently active mode. Default frequencies and User buttons can be defined in <a href="h1.html#ah7">preferecences/TRX control</a>.
<br><br>You can select rig vfo with buttons <b>A</b> and <b>B</b> but there is no feedback what vfo is currenty used as Icom brand rigs do not support "Get_vfo" command.
</p><a name="m4"></a><p>If <b>M_up</b> or <b>M_dwn</b> are pressed or memory is selected by double click of memory list, the information text will show up to <b>Mem Info</b> field. If frequency is changed manually after that info text will disappear.
<br>If memory does not have info text (max 25chr) just <b>x of y</b> is displayed where x refers to memory order in Add/Modify memory list and y total amount of memories.
<b>None</b> (in red) indicates that there are no memory lines.
<br>With <b>P-on/off/stb</b> buttons current rig can be set ON, OFF or STANDBY (if it supports rigctld power commands).
<br>Default setting for power buttons is hidden. You can change it via dropdown menu "Preferences".
<br><br><b>M_up</b> and <b>M_dwn</b> buttons select next/previous entry from memory list. <b>M_Wri</b> adds entry to memory list from current rig frequency and mode and info field shows<b> "MW ok"</b>.
<br>
<br><br><b>NOTE!!!</b> <br>Check <b>pereferences/TRXcontrol/Switch only between mode related memories</b><br>Cqrlog TRXcontrol memories are categorized by mode (groups). CW, SSB(=AM+USB+LSB+FM), RTTY(=RTTY+DATA+PKTLSB+PKTUSB+PKTFM)[no mode selector for PKT* but you may "M wri" them anyway].
So do not wonder if you get smaller amount of memories than in your list when pressing <b>M_up</b> and <b>M_dwn</b> with "Show mode related" checked.

<br>You can set rig by double click of an memory row in <b>Open memory list</b>. Similar action happen also in <b>Add/Modify memories</b>. The differense is that you can keep
<b>Open memory list</b> open while loggeing qsos etc. Where as <b>Add/Modify memories</b>, when open, blocks other functionality.
<br>While <b>Add/Modify memories</b> is open you can use buttons in right frame. Texts of buttons are quite self explaining.
<br>Deleting a memory line, or all lines, do not have any further warning questions (Are you sure?). In case you deleted something wrong just close window with <b>Cancel</b>. No changes are recorded then.
<br>Closing <b>Add/Modify memories</b> is done with buttons <b>OK</b> or <b>Cancel</b>. Closing <b> Open memory list</b> window must be done using <b>x</b> at top right corner of window.
<br> <b> Open memory list</b> closes also if <b>Add/Modify memories</b> is opened. They can not be open at same time.
<br><br> If you make changes to <b>preferences/TRXControl</b> after that just select another radio (even if not existing) from radio buttons <b>Radio 1</b> , <b>Radio 2</b>. Then select back the previous radio and new values are read. It is possible also reload settings from <b>NewQSO/File/Refresh TRX/ROT control</b>.</p>

<p>
From NewQSO/Window you can open <strong>Rotor control</strong> window.

</p>
Window shows current position of rotor with <b>numerical display, Short and Long path Buttons and radio buttons to select rotor 1 or rotor 2</b>.
<br>User can resize window and select <b>additional bar display, direction and stop buttons</b>.
<br>Small numbers on top of bar display shows current rotor limits. Usually this is 0..360, but may be also -180..180 depending on rotor model, or other user defined limits.
<br>Direction drive buttons run rotor until stop button is pressed or maximum 15sec time limit is reached.
<br><br> When a call is entered to <b>NewQSO</b> callsign field and cursor is moved away from that field <b>DXCC info</b> part gets filled against call prefix and/or locator grid,
then, when <b>DXCC/AZIM</b> shows a value, it is possible to press <b>Short Path</b> or <b>Long Path buttons</b> and your ro
tor will turn your antenna to that direction.
<br>Pressing <b>Stop button</b> stops rotor turning started either with path or turn buttons.</p>
<p>Progress bar displays Az value relative to AzLimits (if Use \dump_state is checked in preferences) so do not wonder if it in some cases may look different than numerical true direction display.
<br>If error message is received from rotctld button area turns red. If requested turn command is ok, but az_min or az_maz limits change requested direction from true direction
(then antenna may not always reach requested direction) button area will turn yellow as warning sign.
<br>The length of color flash depends on poll rate and is error permanent or not.
<br>
<br>If you make changes to <b>preferences/Rot Control</b> after that just select another rotor (even if not existing) from radio buttons <b>Rotor 1</b> , <b>Rotor 2</b>. Then select back the previous rotor and new values are read. It is possible also reload settings from <b>NewQSO/File/Refresh TRX/ROT control</b>.</p>
