Can't enter a frequency if Rig is turned off.

If there is a TRX rig defined and that rig is turned off, you can't manually enter a frequency. The keyboard input is immediately jumps back to zero.

That's a problem. If I make a contact on a rig that is not a TRX I can't manually enter the frequency. That sucks. I had to delete my rig in TRX to enter a frequency. Too much trouble to use TRX that way. That needs to be fixed.

Also, I see 2.5.2 version referred to as an old rev, but it is the one for download on your website. What's with that?

Hi Bob!

Define second rig as Hamlib dummy. (model #1). Serial parameters are not needed, localhost, port 4532 and start rigctld when program starts checked.
When the definition is ok you should see 145MHz appear as start frequency.

Then in NewQSO/Call column enter frequency in kHz and press enter. If you have TRX control open you should see the change. Also the NewQSO/Frequency will get it.
Uncheck the "AUTO" and you can set the mode manually from NewQSO/Mode.

2.5.2 is the last official version released. A bit over 5 years ago.

There is a clone called CqrlogAlpha. You can update your existing Cqrlog with a script called "newupdate.sh" (from newupdate.zip) if you do not want to compile the clone version from source by yourself.
You will find this from https://github.com/OH1KH/CqrlogAlpha/tree/main/compiled

You can compare differences by opening page: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/OH1KH/CqrlogALpha/blob...
and scrolling down until you find version 2.5.2
