<strong><h3>Description:</h3></strong>
|
|
<div align="justify">
|
|
<div>CQRLOG is an advanced ham radio logging application based
|
|
on a MySQL database. It provides radio interfacing utilizing the hamlib libraries
|
|
(currently support for 140+ radio types and models), DX cluster
|
|
connection, band map, QRZ.com/HamQTH.com callbook (XML access),
|
|
ClubLog and Logbook of the World support, IOTA support, a
|
|
grayliner, propagation indicator, xplanet support (maps in azimuthal projection centered in
|
|
your QTH), OK1RR free QSL manager database etc.
|
|
<br> <br>CQRLOG is intended mainly for seriously HF DX minded operators
|
|
but can be used for any ham logging purpose, also by casual operators.
|
|
It is equipped with probably most accurate DXCC country database
|
|
available, providing not only the country resolution but also state,
|
|
province, region, district etc. It resolves also antarctic bases,
|
|
special event stations, contest callsigns and much more.<br><br>
|
|
CQRLOG has its own web site at
|
|
<a href=http://www.cqrlog.com><strong>http://www.cqrlog.com</strong></a>.
|
|
Find news, changes, latest additional files and howtos there.
|
|
If you have a problem, browse the web site first, then ask for help.

<br><br><strong><h3>Supported transceivers:</h3>
|
|
</strong> The Radio Control interface is provided using <i>hamlib</i>,
|
|
a set of libraries, which is a development effort to provide a
|
|
consistent interface for programmers wanting to incorporate radio
|
|
control in their programs. <i>hamlib</i> is not a complete user
|
|
application, rather, it is a software layer intended to make
|
|
controlling various radios and other shack hardware much easier.
|
|
<br><br> Most recent amateur radio transceivers allow external control
|
|
of their functions through a serial interface. Unfortunately, control
|
|
commands are not always consistent across a manufacturer's product line
|
|
and each manufacturer's product line differs greatly from its
|
|
competitors.
|
|
<br><br> There's no standardized protocol to remotely control one's
|
|
rig, be it a Ham radio transceiver, a SWL receiver, any kind of scanner
|
|
or other mobiles. However, many manufacturer have designed their
|
|
own proprietary protocol, implemented in some of their product family.
|
|
Therefore, each rig family will require a <i>hamlib</i> backend to set
|
|
the VFO frequency, change mode and passband width, get current signal
|
|
strength, etc. The actual list of supported radios can be found <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/hamlib/wiki/Supported%20Radios/"><strong>on Hamlib website</strong></a>.
|
|
<br><br> <strong><h3>Installation:</h3></strong>
|
|
Ubuntu users can use a repository on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">Launchpad</a>. To add the repo, open a terminal and copy&paste<br><br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ok2cqr/ppa<br>
|
|
sudo apt-get update<br>
|
|
sudo apt-get install cqrlog <br>
|
|
</code><br>
|
|
Only Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 are officially supported but there are also builds for other
|
|
versions of Ubuntu on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">Launchpad</a>.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Debian users can simply install using the package manager<br><br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
sudo apt-get install cqrlog <br>
|
|
</code><br><br>
|
|
For other distributions, you can use binaries located at
|
|
<a href="http://cqrlog.com/download">http://cqrlog.com/download</a>.
|
|
Some of them, like Fedora and Arch, have their own repositories for CQRLOG - Fedora: <a
|
|
href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cqrlog">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cqrlog</a>
|
|
ArchLinux <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cqrlog/">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cqrlog/</a><br>
|
|
If upgrading, no important file will be overwritten. Anyway, <strong>backup your log</strong> before you begin any
|
|
upgrade!
|
|
<br><br><strong><h3>Dependencies:</h3></strong>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>HamLib</strong> - must be installed even if you don't want radio control. The sources are available
|
|
at <a href="http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/"><strong>http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/</strong></a>, however
|
|
precompiled packages are available for almost all major Linux distributions.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>MySQL server and client</strong> - The MySQL client must be installed,
|
|
without this the program will not work at all. A MySQL server must be reachable,
|
|
either on the local machine or via a network.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>libssl-devel</strong> needed if you want to use LoTW and/or online log upload
|
|
</ul>

without this CQRLOG will not work!
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Trusted QSL</strong> - for LoTW operations. Ubuntu and Debian have this package in their repositories.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>xplanet</strong> - for DX Cluster spot visualization on the azimuthal map.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>cwdaemon</strong> - for CW operation, only if you choose parallel or serial port keying without Winkey.

|
|
cwdaemon use may result in <strong>sloppy CW at speeds above 30 WPM</strong>.
|
|
Use Winkey (by K1EL) if possible or your <strong>kernel must be modified to minimalize the
|
|
latency</strong>. Tickless, high resolution timer and 1000 Hz sampling rate must be used.
