Build's for arm64 like Raspberry 4
Like dl8mmr, I cannot get synaptic package manager on my raspi to access the new version 2.4, It keeps telling me that V2.3 is the latest one... can someone please upload it to relevant mirror?

Hi!
Someone, Rpi4 owner, have to install FPC (freepascal), Lazarus (fpc IDE), load the cqrlog source from GitHub and make compile.
When that is done it is enough to install old 2.3 and see that it works and then just copy the compiled binary file "cqrlog" over existing V2.3 file (usually in /usr/bin folder).
Of course if fresh help files are needed they must be copied too . No need to compile, just copy the folder "Help" with all files and subfolders from GitHub over existing help folder (usually in /usr/share/cqrlog/ ).
I have only Rpi2 that can not be used for compile/run cqrlog because of small RAM and slow CPU.

Many thanks Saku... that worked a treat, but it has not resolved the display issue I have with Band map and DX cluster which I have listed on the CQRLOG FaceBook group,,,,
Hi!
Have you tried with another font? (Preferences/Fonts)
If you managed to compile source you could try to compile with QT5 instead of gtk2
You have to install QT5 and qt5pas, qt5pas-dev ast extra package.
Then at Lazarus: Project/Project settings/additional settings/LCLWidget type: QT5
and make a new compile.
Font changes are faster to test. Also some RPI screen size settings may effect.

Saku,
Many thanks for the advice but the font didn't resolve the cluster display problem and to cap it all the TRX control has stopped working.
To be honest I am on the verge of giving up on CQRLOG entirely and moving to LOG4om on a windows system because I want to play radio NOT spend my time trying to make software work. I've spent many hours trying to get this lot working on a RasPi4 because I wanted a solution which had a very small hardware footprint but was also very stable and capable of going portable. The RasPi4 is all those things, but the software to make it happen is eluding me.
Many kind thanks for your help and assistance.

Hi Nigel !
One PCB computers without case are for testing, teaching and playing with. Do not expect them to be "just plug an go" products.
And I think you can not find windows for RPI. (for arm processor). Well things may have changed from RPI2 days.
Selecting small laptop with any OS and commercial programs is right selection when you want "just use it".
On the other hand when you get opensource running in the way you need and do not touch any settings after that it serves you as well.
I remember that RPI2 needed lot of testing and trying to get display working with selected monitor (TV or real monitor). There was a text file in root directory that has many bootup settings for display modes and everything else. Some of them not clearly documented, but dig the web with Google did give more help.
