[Elecraft] Has anyone tried UBUNTU (Linux

[Mike Markowski]

Steve and all,

I used cqrlog for a couple years and it's impressive.  For sake of 
simplicity, however, I went back to the trio of xlog & xdx with hamlib 
support.  I made a minor modification xdx so that when I select a new 
(for me) dx, I can then paste the call into xlog.

As to Elecraft software, no, it is not compatible with modern versions 
of linux without some effort.  For some odd reason, Elecraft only makes 
32-bit binaries available.  You can load those libraries onto Ubuntu, 
but it's a lot of bloat. I chose to use unofficial 64-bit versions which 
work fine so far.

73,
