NAME¶

qrq - High speed Morse telegraphy trainer

SYNOPSIS¶

qrq

qrqscore[OPTION]

DESCRIPTION¶

qrqis an open source Morse codetrainer for various platforms and operatingsystems, similar to the classic DOSversion of Rufz by DL4MM.

It's not intended for learning telegraphy (have a look athttp://radio.linux.org.au/ for CW learning software), but to improve theability to copy callsigns at high speeds, as needed for example for contesting.

After starting the software and setting up the parameters (speed, CWwaveform...), the program sends 50 amateur radio callsigns. When entering acopied callsign correctly, the speed increases, otherwise it decreases. Pointsare awarded for correctly copied callsigns, depending on the speed.

A scoreboard/toplist exists on the author's website, athttps://fkurz.net/ham/qrqtop.php. The local toplist file can be synchronizedwith the online toplist withqrqscore -dand you can upload your own top scores by invokingqrqscore -u.

FILES¶

qrqrc

qrqis looking for these files in the current directory, in ~/.qrq/ or inDESTDIR/share/qrq/ (in that order). In the latter case, ~/.qrq/ is created, foran user-specific toplist and configuration.
