I’m not a big FT-8 user, but what shack computer would be complete without an installation of WSJT-X? So, last night I installed the program. After selecting the correct audio input, I was seeing and decoding FT-8 signals on 20 meters.

Yesterday, the first program that I attempted to install on my Linux Mint computer was Not1MM. As reported in the comments section of Part 2, Not1MM doesn’t seem to want to run on this computer. It installs just fine, but when I try to run it, I get the error message, “Incompatible processor. The Qt build requires the following features: sse4.2 popcnt.”

As part of my effort to get QLog running the way I wanted on my Linux Mint computer, I asked for help on Mastodon. There, someone suggested that I might want to run the Andy’s Ham Radio Linux (AHRL) script to install a bunch of ham radio software in one swell foop. That sounded like a good idea, so I gave it a go.
