Error Entering Frequency

Hello,
I am running version 2.5.2 on the Raspberry Pi dated 2012-03-05. I am unable to change the frequency of my QSO. I can type in the new frequency in megahertz but when I go to save the QSO I get the dialogue box: Error, You must enter correct frequency in MHZ. The default frequency works with the entry 7.200 but when I change it to anything else I get the above error. I also attempted to change the default frequency to 7.218 and the preferences accepted 7.218 but when I generated a new QSO it still displayed 7.200 and would generate the same error if I entered 7.218. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Love this program.

thanks,
Kevin Fontes

HI Kevin!

I had just this same problem with my rpi when started first time. I do not have rig connected to it.
I just do not remember what I did to make it work and now, even with new empty log without any settings, it does not appear any more.

At least I tried that:
open console and type command
rigctld -m1

Leave console open then open cqrlog and set preferences/trxtcontrol/radio1 model as #2 (Hamlib Net rigctld) close preferences with OK
select NewQSO File/reftresh TRX/ROT control
Then you should get virtual rig to cqrlog showing 145Mhz and FM mode. You can change frequencies with TRXControl window.

After that works set back model #1 Hamlib dummy at preferences/trxtcontrol/radio1 close preferences with OK.

At least that I have tried with RPI and it worked. But then I do not remember having any more that splash "you must set correct frequency".
I tried even remove ~/.config/cqrlog from my RPi but I can not get back that error again.
