I have CQRlog running on a couple of RPI's. All of the RPIs I have CQRLog running on are indeed RPI 3's connected to my KX3. I was able to get CQRLog 2.2 to install on Jessie in 2017. But when CQRLog v2.3 came out, I was not able to install on Raspbian Jessie. Switched to Raspbian Stretch and back in business.
The trick with installing CQRLog is to ensure its dependencies are loaded first. This is not well documented for those of us who are casual Linux ops. A great tip was provided in one of the CQRLog forums to use a program called gdebi (sudo apt-get install gdebi) to install the cqrlog_2.3.0-1_armhf.deb <https://www.cqrlog.com/files/cqrlog_2.3.0/cqrlog_2.3.0-1_armhf.deb> file. Gdebi resolves the dependencies for you and loads them prior to the install; a brilliant little utility as an alternative to dpkg. I would say that my biggest issues with the install of CQRLog were not with CQRLog itself, but with MySQL on which CQRLog depends. Once you resolve that dependency (hopefully gdebi will do that for you), the rest just worked. CQRLog integrates well with wsjtx, fldigi, and qrz.com. It has direct upload buttons to eQSL.cc and LOTW. Although, CQRLog doesn't play nice with the latest OpenSSL on Stretch. This nuisance thwarts your ability to upload an encrypted LOTW log file direct from CQRLog. You can still get CQRLog to do the heavy lifting of creating and encrypting an LOTW log file from those QSOs that you made since the last upload. After that, I have to use TQSL on the RPI to upload the file (allow duplicates), CQRLog produces, to LOTW. A minor inconvenience at this point that I am willing to live with. Looks like there is a CQRLog beta version in the works to succeed v2.3. The CQRLog forums had some chatter about this from last month and the beta is now available. This is great news. I will be watching and will install once it goes GA. regards, Brian VE3IBW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
