Yes, I saw that. I have emailed DK8LV of the Bavarian Contest Club (CX
developers) inviting them to join our discussions as well.
I ran into a few problems with CX, but finally configured both of these
to run and the two programs seem quite similar (CX attempts to emulate
CT, while TLF is more like TR-Log). Both need some work. It looks to
me like TLF is further along, but maybe I just haven't figured out
enough of CX. I haven't looked at any of the CW-keyer stuff yet,
either. The radio control part of CX only supports two transceiver
models, so there is some additional work needed there.
I'll take a look at the demo versions of TR-LOG and CT, to see what
they provide which might need to be added to TLF or CX.
On a related subject, I have been running the DX Spider cluster
software (http://www.dxcluster.org) for a while and it seems pretty
good (I considered CLX, but source code is not available). A lot of
people are abandoning AK1A's PacketCluster, since it apparently isn't
very well supported any more and the current favorite (AR-Cluster) is
rather expensive.
If nobody else is working on a Debian package of DX Spider, I will
attempt to do so.
