README

1- REQUIREMENTS -
2----------------
3See the INSTALL file for package requirements when you want to compile xlog
4yourself.
5
6- HAMLIB SUPPORT -
7------------------
8If your rig supports data retrieval over the serial line, you should have
9a look at the Hamradio Control Libraries (hamlib) project page, at
10http://sf.net/projects/hamlib. Xlog can read your rig's frequency, mode
11and signal strength.
12
13- TESTING HAMLIB -
14------------------
15At his point you should probably read your rig's manual, to see how you
16should hook up your rig to the serial port. For my kenwood rig, I need
17a standard serial cable with two 9-pin connectors. You also need write
18permission to the serial port. On my system, this means I need to add
19myself to the dialout group, with a command like:
20
21	adduser 'username' dialout
22
23Next, you can test hamlib with rigctl, a binary distributed with hamlib.
24See which rigs are supported:
25
26	rigctl --list
27
28Then start rigctl with your model number, e.g. '210' for a kenwood TS-870S,
29hooked up to COM2:
30
31	rigctl -r /dev/ttyS1 -m 210
32
33Now you can check out if mode, PTT, frequency, signal strength and power
34(all used by xlog) are retrieved. At the 'Rig command:' prompt, type:
35
36	'f': retrieve frequency
37	'm': retrieve mode
38	't': retrieve PTT (TX/RX mode)
39	'l' and then 'STRENGTH': retrieve signal strength (-54=S0 and 0=S9)
40	'l' and then 'RFPOWER': retrieve rig power (0.39 = 100 Watts)
41
42The hamlib FAQ at http://hamlib.sf.net/faq.html gives some answers to common
43problems. You could also ask around on the hamlib mailing list, see:
44http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hamlib-developer.

46- XLOG USAGE -
47--------------
48For a description on how to use xlog, select help -> Documentation -> Manual
49from the menu.

51- DEVELOPMENT -
52---------------
53If you are interested in xlog development, go to
54http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xlog. Information about a mailing list for
55xlog development is available on this page, where you can ask questions about
56xlog.
