15.x and have been running CQRlog on every system since, with every incremental upgrade. Right people? I've been using Mint since v. You open your package manager, type 'cqrl' and by then it's found.

This GREAT logger is so easy to install - I cannot imagine how one would have a problem if running Ubuntu, Mint, etc. It drives me nuts when people give poor reviews based on something a product was never meant to do, or the reverse- people giving 5 stars because a product arrived undamanged. If I could I'd give it 7 stars to negate those by folks who did something wrong or failed to do their research. It's wonderful when wanting to list your contacts by various operating modes. 'CW QRO', 'CW QRP', 'SSB QRO', 'SSB QRP', 'QRO Mobile', 'QRP Mobile', etc. It's log database search capabilities are FANTASTIC, as is the wonderful way it supports multiple 'profiles'. Will it support your club or DXPedition operation? No. In use at my home since every implemtation of Mint Linux 12- I've never, not once, had CQRlog crash or fail to do what I use it for: my station logging. It's abilities are almost endless, it's integration is seamless, it's stability beyond anything Windoze has to offer. The CQRlog documentaion is extensive.ĬQRlog for Linux is not just acceptable for most people- it is SPECTACULAR in it feature-set for the typical ham radio operator to use. Before denigrating or nit-picking a product or service- people need to do their research on said product or service.
#Ham radio deluxe inport logbook update
I felt the need to update my original posting because of a recent review which I feel is not fair to CQRlog. While logging is not legally required anymore in the USA it helps you to keep complete records and in some awards programs QSO credit is given to both the OPERATOR and STATION calls.Įxceedingly full featured, EASY to install, and free If you have a guest op run your station under your call you need the OPERATOR field. If you run a special event call, with a group or solo, you need the OPERATOR field. The OPERATOR field is becoming increasingly important to modern hams. So it deserves another look as my initial research indicated that it could be a good fit for our small club except for this one point. Update: In doing further research I see that the OPERATOR field has recently been added to CQRLog. KLog wins for our club station on this single point despite the fact that CQRLOG has a cleaner UI and looks easier for newbies to use.
Which puts it behind most other top tier loggers. Judging from the forum posts the authors seem to have no interest in supporting it either. This is a non-starter for activities such as multi-op, special event calls, and club stations. But it does not support the ADIF OPERATOR field.
