Current loc_testing won't start without radio

Running CQRLOG built from current git - when I try to look at log on my laptop away from shack I get a warning about radio did not respond (or some such); when I hit OK, I get Access Violation popup.

Never had that problem with a paper logbook :-)

Hi!
Thanks for pointing out this.
I have made big changes to rig control, but missed testing without any rigs. I need to add rig model "NoRig" to selection list.

As the branch name "loc_testing" says it is for testing.
If problems, check daily if you compile from source. Version date will tell you the current state.
Ready compiled ones are more stable versions.

If you want to compile at level of ready compiled ones (134) give command:
git reset --hard 9caae774
before compile. That should bring you to level of (134) version.
git pull
Returns you back to current state, if needed.

I am moving stable versions to repository CqrlogAlpha, but there are only ready compiled ones now. Not yet the source of same version.

Uh, you scared me.
I started to test this issue because I was afraid there is a bug in case rig was not defined at all.
How ever I did not find any issue.

From preferences/TRXcontrol I cleared rig (paint the exisiting model and press delete) and unchecked "Run rigctld when program starts"

Started CqrlogAlpha version (135), version date 2025-01-20. All went fine. No error splash.
Then opened command console and typed:
ps ax | grep rig
To ensure that no rigctld was running.

All ok. I can not see any problem here.

If you start your computer without radio, that is defined in CqrlogAlpha preferences, there should be error splash as you rig does not answer.
That is not a bug.
When you clear out the splash you are still able to use your CqrlogAlpha to do all things you can without radio. 

Tested also with rig defined and if rigctld did not start I got error splash from it. If rigctld started but I did pull rig USB out I got splash that I should check rig cables and power ON.
In both cases closing the splash did not cause any error. CqrlogAlpha opened normally (but without rig control functions, of course).

What is the version date of your compile?
