Voice Keyer - Elecraft K4

I am trying to get CQRLog to key my Elecraft K4 radio's built-in voice memories via the use of keyboard Fx (Function keys) just like on CW.

When I am using Windoze 10 and N1MM logger for contests, there is a VERY simple command that can be easily modified in a text editor to execute a radio command via CAT control. The command to use in the N1MM program is: {CAT1ASC PB1;} This command tells the radio to use CAT and send radio memory push button #1, in which I have recorded my CQ message. The radio can store up to 8 different voice messages PB1 - PB8.

Sorry, but is it a drugstore now?!

Database not connecting

this is what I'm getting when I start the program can anyone help with a fix for this.

A script to generate the satellites from LoTW

Saku made a shell script to do this a long time ago, but it stopped working because of changes in the LoTW page format. So, I redid it with comments to make it easier to change if the LoTW page changes again. I put my script in a file so I could easily run it whenever I needed. Here are the steps:

Resizing "CW type" window

First, I LOVE this program.

Second, I'm trying to make windows take up less space. When you shrink the "CW type" window horizontally , the "Send CW using" part moves over the top of "CW speed". I change "CW speed" a lot (almost every QSO) and believe that most CW ops do too and therefore, the "CW speed" part should overlay on top of the "Send CW using" part as you shrink the window horizontally.

I would even say that the "Send CW using" is changed so rarely that you could move it to the "Preferences=>CW interface" dialog. In years of doing CW, I have never changed it.

Can't seem to update eqsl_qsl_sent and eqsl_qsl_rcvd

I was moving things over to a new computer and when I imported the ADIF from my old log, I noticed the eqsl sent/received flags weren't showing up. The associated dates are there, but not the 'Y' in those columns. I even tried adding them via the SQL console but it doesn't seem to have updated. Any ideas? (This is on xubuntu 22.04.4 with a version I built from source with mariadb as the database server. There's on in the xubuntu repo but it fails to start w/mysql errors that I've not yet debugged and I recall reading the official cqrlog repo doesn't support 22.04).

FYI: Thread error

Mostly FYI: Running 122. Now and then I get a "Thread error". Unfortunately I have not manage to get it when I start in debug mode. :(

Will try to find the cause.

Thread error

satellite uploads

When i upload satellite qso's to club they just appear as direct contacts with each respective country, why does it not show "Sat" or "Satellite" in clublog ?
I see other stations on qrz.com have the clublog widget on their site and it shows "Sat" in there.

I have looked trough the settings and i cannot find anything regarding this.
Any advice appreciated

Problems building with QT5

I have been running various versions of cqrlog_qt5 on openSUSE Tumbleweed for
the past year, and last weekend decided to build the latest version from
Saku's loc_testing repo. Since TW is a rolling distribution, I got to use the
latest tools - Lazarus 3.0, glibc 2.39, Qt5 5.15.2+kde patches, etc.

After a 'git pull' from loc_testing, the first try was a simple 'make
clean;make cqrlog_qt5;make DESTDIR=~/.local install', as I've used before.

Search not working

Just built the latest git loc_master, and found that search doesn't work.

Rotor control not working with ERC-M Yaesu control

Rotor control with remote Raspberry Pi

Hi folks,
I'm Christian DL1ELU and have just installed CQRLOG 2.5.2. on Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. Everything looks good so far, but I'm struggling with rotator control:
In the near future I'm going to control my rotator from a RaspberryPi that will sit on the tower (and do some other things like switching antennas, webcam etc.). On the RPi I have installed a software from here: https://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/G5500/

New Install - Remote FLDIGI Error

Hello,

I just installed cqrlog on a new Computer, using a Backup of the config Files. Configs from fldigi, wsjtx and cqrlog are copied from a Backup. cqrlog is latest Version (using a Installation from Repo and the newupdate.sh script). wsjtx is latest Version and did work, Standalone and Remote. Fldigi was a Version from Repo and updated with a compiled Version from Source Code. It is running Standalone with the Backup Config File.

Rigctld not working

My rigctld has stopped working. I am using 2.6.0_122-Gtk2 Alpha. When I run whereis -b rigctld I get /usr/bin/rigctld /usr/local/bin/rigctld which is two diferent paths. Hamlib version in synaptic is 4.3.1-1 build 2. My WSJTX Hamlib version is 4.6. WSJTX rigctld works just fine. I tried switching the rigctls path in CQrlog to the WSJTX version with no luck. My guess is that somehow a second path has appeared and is causing rigctld to not work - how can I fic this?

County window problem

Saku;

Found a glitch in Ver: 2.6.0 (122) GK2 – in the County window try entering WI,Fond du Lac or IL,Rock Island.

It works if you string the words together and then arrow back to add the spaces. Auto fill from QRZ is not affected.

Thanks.

Statics --> ITU

I clicked Statics-->ITU, then I looked an alert window:
Index Out of range Cell[Col=2 Row=81].

Only I?
I use ver.2.6.0_(122) 2024-01-26, but I editted fNewQSO.lfm.

On pressng OK, I can look the list, but not calculated.

Version mismatch in mysql raw files after OS reinstall

So I installed a new OS (Ubuntu 23.10) and my CQRLOG hasn't been used since Fedora in 2022. Mysql is showing the classic signs of a version mismatch with the native files. I don't have a mysqldump, but I have all the ADIFs from the various backup operations (after each use -- I always answsered yes to backing up).

So I need to somehow set CQRLOG to open with a fresh database so I can import that ADIFs.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Do I just empty the database directory? Or something else. My mysql.err file ends with:

Frequency & mode is not updated; Polling stops

During some circumstances the frequency and mode from a connected radio is not being updated in CQRLOG.

This might be related to Hamlib and specific radios. In my case it is a IC-7100 connected to CQRLOG and WSJT-X using Hamlib NET rigcl.

lotw send error

Hello
i have a problem with uploading qso to LOTW.
It tells me that I have 167 QSOs that have already been sent.
If I tell it to send me only new QSOs, it tells me to send the files manually by going to the arrl website. I've already done that, but the same message keeps coming out.
If I choose the option to send them all again, I get the same message.
I can download confirmed contacts without problems, but I can't send new qso's.
This was working fine, until a few days ago, and I don't know why it doesn't work.

Macquarie Island VK0MQ entry says CE9 Antarctica is the DXCC Entity

Hi Folks,

I tried to manually change the entry and the log will not allow me to change CE9 to VK0.

I made a few attempts to fix, then tried one file change ( detailed below ) and decided I needed help.

Sorry for the rambling in the note below, it's how I keep up with what I try or find in 'fixit' mode. I don't want to upgrade the DXCC tables automatically until I fix the issue that causes lockout of the program. I would just like to add a line somewhere if that's possible.

My Program says 2022-07-05 Ver 2.6.0 (001) Gtk 2

CQRLOG changing VFO ic706mk2g

Noticed a odd thing with CQRLOG controlling my backup rig a IC-706mk2g. When choosing radio 2 (which the icom is connected to) the vfo display rapidly switches between A and B for maybe a half second then settles on the original vfo. Also when manually tuning the rig sometimes the same thing happens, often the connection between the computer and rig is lost requiring a refreshing of the TX control. I'm using a serial to USB adapter also. Poll rate is 2000 and parameters are set as default. Hamlib 4.3.1 is installed. CQRLOG version 2.5.2 (001).
Thanks for any comments, Colin VE1CSM
