Radio Interface - magicbug/Cloudlog GitHub Wiki

The Radio Interface area of Cloudlog allows you to control radios which are available within the Radio dropdown, at any time you can delete a radio if you no longer require it.

It's possible to interface Cloudlog to amateur radio equipment via external APIs at the moment this is possible using the following tools.

These third-party tools require API keys which can be generated from Admin -> API

CAT Control

Cloudlog supports pushing radio information just like you would with a desktop operating system this is via a desktop app called CloudlogCAT This application uses Omni-Rig thus supports most of the radios on the market.

Highly recommend checking the Third Party Tools page on the wiki for a full list of radio interface applications.

Linux & Mac CAT Control

If you use Linux, Mac or just hate Omni-Rig then Tobias (DL4TMA) has made a script called cloudlog-rigctl-interface this interfaces rigctl to Cloudlogs CAT API. This script requires PHP-CLI to be installed. If you would like a pure Bash version, Tony (G0WFV) has you covered with CloudlogBashCat which also synchronises Cloudlog with rigctld.

Another tool is CloudLogCatQt created by Matthias (DL9MJ) this cross-platform tool works on Linux, Mac & Windows and provides a GUI tool to interface FlRig to Cloudlog via the API.

SatPC32 Interface

To help amateur radio satellite operators you can interface SatPC32 into Cloudlog so that it behaves like a radio with frequency data but not only that it will automatically populate the satellite fields. See Cloudlog Aurora for more details

Select the Radio in the QSO Panel

After configuring the Radio, you need to select what you'd like to use for QSOs, to do this go to the QSO area, then the Station tab, then find Radio this is a drop-down select menu, select the correct radio then Log a QSO, this option will be set as a cookie and will be remembered in till you unselect it or the cookie expires.
