Here is what I do, First off I have 2 monitors in the shack so this makes it easy, however with Ubuntu or Linux you have sevaral desktops so you can have Fldigi on one desktop and CQRlog on the other and just simply switch back and forth, or just use the Minimize function, Here is what I do, I have CQRlog runing on the left monitor, and Fldigi on the right, I have both set to have rig control, so Fldigi changes with the VFO and so does Cqrlog, I do not put CQRlog in fldigi mode, I turn off or click on auto to remove the check mark, then I put CQRlog in psk31 or RTTY, or what ever mode I am using, then as I work stations I simply put the call in CQRlog and hit tab, put in 599 or the report at the start, you can then see the qso clock start, this also pulls up all kinds of info, like the details box ect. at the end of the qso i hit save qso, and all is good. It really is just one extra step but totaly worth it, because of the info that comes accross CRQlog like how many times I have worked that station before ect. This is really good If you use the club log function, seems there are a bunch of clubs on the digi side, so you can see where your detail funtion would be nice while working stations, if you use this.. If I get into a contest like RTTY where the exchange is super fast, then I put CQRlog in Fldigi mode and log that way for speed. Here is how to get CQRlog and Fldigi with rig control at the same time:
There is a way how to have trx control both fldigi and cqrlog. Set the TRX control in CQRLOG and in fldigi preferences use Hamlib NET rigctl (Beta) asi rig and Device set to localhost:4532
It will work both in CQRLOG and FLDIGI.
