QRQ(1)
NAME
qrq - morse telegraphy trainer
SYNOPSIS
qrq qrqscore [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
qrq is an open source morse telegraphy trainer for Linux and Unix operating systems, similar to the classic DOS version of Rufz by DL4MM.
It's not intended for learning telegraphy (have a look at
http://radio.linux.org.au/ for CW learning software), but to improve
the ability to copy callsigns at high speeds, as needed for example for
contesting.
After starting the software and setting up the parameters (speed, CW
waveform...), the program sends 50 amateur radio callsigns. When entering a copied callsign correctly, the speed increases, otherwise it
decreases. Points are awarded for correctly copied callsigns, depending
on the speed.
A scoreboard/toplist exists on the author's website, at
http://fkurz.net/ham/qrqtop.php. The local toplist file can be synchronized with the online toplist with qrqscore -d and you can upload your
own top scores by invoking qrqscore -u.
FILES
- qrqrc
- Default configuration file
- callbase
- Database of amateur radio callsigns used by qrq
- toplist
- Default toplist file
- qrq is looking for these files in the current directory, in ~/.qrq/ or in DESTDIR/share/qrq/ (in that order). In the latter case, ~/.qrq/ is created, for an user-specific toplist and configuration.
