I find that ADIF Master and DXAtlas run quite nicely on WINE. They are my remaining "indispensable" Windows apps. I use Linux Mint in the shack daily and have not regretted the switch from Win11.
Another recommendation for Crossover and this time for Linux.
t is as James said, a reasonable license fee, and it is solid and it works well. Even some complex Windows apps run on it. Another good thing about Crossover is that you get support from them. There were a few apps that needed special files to work, and they figured that out and got them going for me.
When Win 10 came out I moved to Mac but I still had a need professionally and personally for some windows applications. ?I used the Parallels solution for years but they too were big into money and their licensing sucks. ?
?
I recently moved to Crossover for Mac and love it. ?Crossover runs on Linux and the Crossover team is a major contributor to the Wine project. ?Yes, it cost me some money but their licensing is per user with multiple machines. ?To me it was worth the money for the ease of installation and the peace of mind. ?I run Winlink and VARA FM and Microsoft Visio with no issues and will be experimenting with some Motorola programming software. ?
?
Submitted for 'what it's worth' - worked well for me. ?And, BTW, I have a Mac Pro trash can running Mint and will be adding Crossover to it as well. ?Agree with Bob below - Mint is a really good solution.
I use Linux exclusively: a generic Ubuntu installation on my main workstation. I have used the native Linux Zoom client extensively, heavily, for work during the past several years -- without issue. I also used it for a CWOps class (with the same "native sound" tweak that people required on Windows boxes). I download the latest .deb straight from Zoom.
I use TSQL natively.
I use "qrq" for, I think, similar training as RufzXP.
And I've been using LibreOffice and its predecessors for more than 25 years now, including for work, graduate school, doctoral thesis, etc. It's solid and very capable. I just live with the fact that Microsoft doesn't want competitors to be open their documents with the formatting perfectly intact (and ask for a PDF if formatting matters).
I
agree with Dave, G?WBX that if you are having difficulties with
Ubuntu then you should try LinuxMint, Cinnamon edition.? It is
very friendly for those just getting into Linux.? Also for
contesting you should look into NOT1MM, Linux Native app for
contest logging.? Its "not" N1MM but it is still being developed
and is doing a good job of duplicating N1MM for Linux, just not
fully there yet.?
???
Also for contesting try to use TR4W and SD (super duper) both of
which run very well under WINE in Linux and support almost all
the contests out there.?

As a test, I just now downloaded Fllog-1.2.8 VN.dmg from the W1HKJ site. At first I could not get it to open (could not be checked for malware, etc) , but then I went into Privacy and Security and said open anyway and then it worked.(So this work around is still good for now anyway.)
I had updated my MacOS to 15.1 the other day and all the programs that I had running on the old MacOS continued to work just fine. (Flrig, WSJT-X, etc) This test shows me that the reason they continued to work was that they had already been installed and opened in the previous MacOS. (They were non signed and notorized versions)
I did download the signed and notarized versions of the software that you had sent. I have not installed/opened them yet. I didn't want to rock the boat. but have them in a folder for backup at the moment.?
FYI, Antarctica is on the air. I made an FT8 contact with callsign Ri1ANE at Progress Base -69.396667 Latitude and 76.373333 Longitude. It was on 20m at 02:21 GMT on November 8th. Anyway, I thought that was cool. From a google search -?Progress is a Russian research station in Antarctica.?It is located at the Larsemann Hills antarctic oasis on the shore of Prydz Bay.
Thanks again,

Gary,
Thanks for the notarized updated Flrig.
FYI, I did decide to bite the bullet and update my MacOS to 15.1 from 14.
It turns out that all my apps Flrig, Fldigi, JS8call, WSJT-X, GridTracker2, and RUMlogNG continue to work.
This may be due to the fact that they had already been up and running on my previous MacOS, I am not sure.
I have not tried to download additional apps and install them yet, but wanted to mention the old ones are still working.
Thanks and 73s

To access the serial port? you
must be a member of the dialout group.
dave@tk7:~$ groups
dave adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape sudo audio dip
video plugdev lpadmin netdev scanner sambashare
You can assign yourself to the dialout group using
the Cinnamon user interface, or from a command line terminal on
Ubuntu:
Add yourself to the dialout group
??? Open Terminal.
??? Enter the following command, replacing <username> with the
name of your account. sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>
??? Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

When I view the trace log, I see flrig sending a "get smeter" command every second, but have displayed S-meter on the radio. When I press the "Tune" button, I also see a "get power out", but no display on the meter.
Sorry, I erroneously reported that I see this issue in flrig 2.0.0. This version does appear to scroll correctly, but occasionally will show the wrong filter bandwidth.
Re: Where to get schooled on Linux desktop managers, compositors, UI interfaces??
Try out different ones to find the one that works for you. Problems are solved by doing internet searches, asking ChatGPT, or just messing around with it and learning from it.

Debian is my choice at home, I run MATE on lower end systems and/or where I dont want or need eyecandy, or the kitchen sink load of apps, and Cinnamon where I want something that looks nice, and has a good range of stuff already installed.
Have experienced an issue with my Ten Tec 550 Pegasus and flrig, where I cannot select a transceiver filter bandwidth because the scroll feature automatically resets to the top of the selections when I attempt to scroll down. Upon selection of a bandwidth and closing the selection dropdown menu, the selected filter shows that it has switched back to 300hz, but the radio still sounds as if the selected filter bandwidth is correct, just not indicating correctly. This seems to only occur in USB, LSB, and CW modes, I can still correctly set the filter bandwidth in AM mode without the scrolling issue. As this is difficult to describe, I¡¯ve attached a screencast of the problem.
This is on flrig 2.0.0, 2.0.05, and 2.0.05.85 on MacOS 15.2 and Fedora Linux 41 x86_64.
Thanks for all the work you do on the fl-suite of software.
Wanted to share an issue I¡¯m having with flrig and the Ten Ten 550 Pegasus transceiver. I can connect and operate the radio just fine through a USB-to-serial adapter properly configured from flrig, minus the S meter, SWR meter, and power meter. I have
tried versions?2.0.05 and 2.0.0 on Mac, as well as versions 1.4.7, 2.0.0, and 2.0.05 on Fedora Linux and Raspbian, to no avail. None show the any indication of the meter.
I¡¯m happy to help troubleshoot further, just don¡¯t know what would be helpful right now. Any help here would be great!
Can't the setting be put here, kinda as it was
before? Tweaking into the modem menu isn't so fast when trying
to decode something on the fly :)
Something the previous working version of the UX, that was
so simple and immediate to use...

You should be able to change the LPM setting during

at page 7 of the pdf, Kyodo news is quoted as
requiring 60 and 120 lpm / 576 IOC setting:
"Next Tokyo station is JJC, it is Kyodo News Agency.
Transmission speed is
60 lpm and IOC 576, sometimes 120 lpm when weather
charts are posted."
I also wrote to the owner of the internet site
and reached to me, indeed confirming that the setting
for 576/120 and 60 are needed in order to receive this
station... quoting his email:
"Yes, for Kyodo one needs 576/60. Fldigi removed
the line setting from its interface at some point,
quite a long time ?ago. What I did, was that I created
a copy of Fldigi source code and changed hardcoded 120
to 60. So for Kyodo decoding I would simply run a
second altered Fldigi.
So yes, I can confirm this behavior of a removed lines
dropdown, as it really was there before."
I think the best course of action is to permit
changing the combination of all those parameter as it
was before, also as it is described in the wefax
standard in the PDF i linked before - I will do it
myself but I'm not a skilled programmer anymore (I was
a programmer in the late '90 :) )
I will try to receive some transmission to test
them asap!
