Hi Bob, You have two options — both are essentially the same:
Example:
There are many videos on YouTube showing how to connect WSJT-X, GridTracker, and other logging software. The key point is: QLog and GridTracker must use different ports. You also need to decide which software will forward WSJT-X messages to the other. There’s also a third option — multicast — but that is intended for users with some networking experience. |

Hi Ladislav,
Thank you for all the information. I will have another look at it later
today and use your suggestions.

Hi Bob,
You have two options — both are essentially the same:
1. WSJT-X → QLog → GridTracker
Set WSJT-X to send notifications to QLog using the default port 2237.
In QLog, go to Settings → Network → WSJT-X and enable UDP forward to
your GridTracker. GridTracker must be set to listen on a different port —
for example, 2238.
Example:
WSJT-X sends UDP messages to localhost:2237 (QLog).
QLog then forwards WSJT-X messages to localhost:2238, where GridTracker is
listening.
In this setup, GridTracker listens on non-default port 2238.
2. WSJT-X → GridTracker → QLog
Set WSJT-X to send notifications directly to GridTracker on the
default port 2237.
In GridTracker, enable forwarding of WSJT-X messages to QLog.
Then, in QLog, go to Settings → Network → WSJT-X, and set a different
port — for example, 2238.
There are many videos on YouTube showing how to connect WSJT-X,
GridTracker, and other logging software. The key point is: QLog and
GridTracker must use different ports. You also need to decide which
software will forward WSJT-X messages to the other.
There’s also a third option — multicast — but that is intended for users
with some networking experience.

Hi Ladislav, I thought everything was working correctly with WSJT-X, QLog and Gridtracker, but WSJT-X crashes when I connect my radio to QLog. I am uncertain what the problem is as I think the configuration is correct. I have attached screenshots for you to see. Thanks, Bob. M0BOB.

What radio are you using? In a basic configuration you can only use the rig with one app at a time WSJT or QLog. There are ways around it if you launch rigctld separately. There have been some posts in the forums here on how to do that. |

Here is a post I made on how I ran several applications connected to my 101D when I had it. #612 (comment) |

I decided that first and foremost that I need to get WSJT-X working correctly with QLog. At the moment WSJT-X crashes when I connect to QLog (GridTracker can wait). I have attached screenshots showing my WSJT-X settings (they are identical to my Windows settings and they work correctly). On the Network page of QLog I have entered 2238, but I have also tried 2234 and 2236 without any success. Any suggestions please? PS. I am a novice with Linux (Mint Cinnamon). Thanks, Bob.

Ok is WSJT crashing or you getting that error message. I would get WSJT working correctly without QLog running. make sure your rig control and sound everything is good. Then start up QLog. Do not start up rig control in QLog. With your 101D by default only one program can talk to it. So in your case let WSJT use it when you want to do FTx modes. Then if you want to do SSB/CW let QLog do the rig control after you close WSJT. |

Thanks for your help. I did that and it partially worked. I began using FT8 on 40m and logged all the contacts into QLog via the internal logging system of WSJT-X. I changed bands to 30m and none of the QSOs transferred to QLog. I returned to 40m and it worked correctly again. Also, I noticed that one callsign on 30m was coloured yellow, I am not sure what is a yellow callsign. WSJT-X is working, it has the small green circular icon on left of the display. It hasn't crashed, but I am puzzled about 30m. |

Can you send a screenshot of your QLog application? I wonder if you have any QSO filters enabled in QLog. I don't understand how it would log for 40M but not 30M. Michael |

Hi Michael, You hit the nail on the head. All my QSOs were filtered to 4om and that was the problem. Apologies for my silly mistake, I changed the filter to "Band" and everything was there in the log book. I am updating the personal details by using "Update from Call Book". I presume that is the standard way to populate the contact details into the log? Up until recently I was using LOG4OM on Windows and it is my first venture into Linux. I am really impressed with Cinnamon Mint, but also QLog. It does everything that I need, and I am getting used to using it now. Thanks and 73, Bob. |

Yeah that is one way to get the details either in the QSO Details window or you can update a group by selecting them in the log list and using the right click/context menu. Good Luck. I mainly use MacOS for QLog. 73 Michael, AA5SH |

There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.

I am a new user to Linux (Mint Cinnamon) and I installed QLog (a great logging program). WSJT-X is working in conjunction with GridTracker, but I cannot get my FT8 QSOs to automatically log into QLog. Is there a way of configuring this?
Apologies for asking here, but I can't find a user group/forum or a Facebook group.
Many thanks and 73,
Bob.
