My Linux based K2 rig control software is ready for beta testing. No, it is not perfect. But it is darn good I think. Those of you Linux users can give it a try and let me know what you think. It's FREE. Full source code is included. http://www.qsl.net/ab6cv You need Qt 3.x to build it. I tested it on RedHat 9 and SuSE 8.1 with no problems. Check that you have the rpm installed: On SuSE rpm -qv qt3 On RedHat rpm -qv qt Have fun with it gang! 73, Mike AB6CV ++++++++++++++++++++ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 09:16:58 -0700 From: Wayne Burdick Organization: Elecraft To: Mike Studer Cc: Elecraft at mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 Rig Control Software for Linux Thanks for your efforts on this, Mike.

Take a look at TLF . It is somewhat of a TR-Log lookalike and I have used it in several contests as well as for general logging. It interfaces with hamlib, which means it should be compatible with a K2 (emulating a Kenwood radio).

This is already done by Rein Couperus, PA0RCT and others. You can find all infos and download the program/sources at http://home.iae.nl/users/reinc/TLF-0.2.html I just compiled marote on Debian/Linux unstable, had a bit trouble with the $QTDIR and $MOC, but then it compiled and run ok. Looks promising for a early beta. Well done, Mike! Only the tune buttons are looking a little bit "ugly", at least for me ;-) 72 de Wolf, DL2WRJ -- linux user #37136, K2 #2857, K1 #1136 Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

I forgot to delete my .o files on earlier release. If you have build pro= blems=20 on older version do "make clean" before your "make" command. I fixed that on the new version. I removed all the .o files. Faster dow= nload=20 now. Sorry about that. New features: * CW memory keyer with user customizable macros! * A CW serial number macro useful for contesting * You can save your memories to a file and load them as needed. You can = have=20 as many files as you want! * Better RF output control. Instant 5 watt setting. * Filter setting and display * Faster tuning updates * Antenna selector * NB selector * Reset button * Lots more!
