OPTIONS

--style[=STYLE]

Forcing QT5 style to STYLE. STYLE can be Fusion (default) or Windows.

-r, --rig-name[=RIGNAME]

Enable multiple instances of the jtdx(1) application to run concurrently. Each RIGNAME must be unique. One instance may use no RIGNAME. If this option is not supplied then only one instance of jtdx(1) may be run at any time.

-v, --version

Display the application version.

-h,--help

Display usage information.

--test-mode

When this option is provided all writable files will be placed in a special test location (~/.qttest). This option is only for application testing and is not designed for normal operations. Use with caution.

FILES

Most of the following files are in a directory path containing the directory name JTDX[ - RIGNAME] which indicates the value of the command line option --rig-name=RIGNAME to indicate multiple instances of jtdx running concurrently. All writable files listed below are therefore unique to each concurrent instance of jtdx. If the --rig-name command line option is not supplied or the RIGNAME argument is not supplied then the directory paths below will have the directory JTDX.

~/.config/JTDX[ - RIGNAME].ini

This file stores the application configuration settings.

~/.local/share/JTDX[ - RIGNAME]/yyyymm_ALL.txt

ALL.txt contains a record of transmitted and received messages and other activity such as frequency or band changes.

~/.local/share/JTDX[ - RIGNAME]/save/

Is the default location for saved .WAV files recorded by the application. The .WAV file save location may be changed in the applications settings dialog.

~/.local/share/JTDX[ - RIGNAME]/save/samples/

Sample .WAV files suppied with the application are found in this directory, they may be played back in the application and are referred to in the user guide tutorial sections.

~/.local/share/JTDX[ - RIGNAME]/cty.dat

This file is not required as a version of it is embedded in the application, but if you wish an updated version can be placed here. If present that version will be used in preference to the embedded version.

This is a plain text CSV record of logged QSOs.
