⚠️ Installation:

You can choose the online installer (RigAndLogInstaller.exe), which will automatically select the appropriate version and install program for you.

The installer requires:

  • An active internet connection
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2

During download, your browser or antivirus software may display warnings. This is normal for amateur radio software. These are freeware projects that are not digitally signed (code-signing certificates are expensive). On an internet-wide scale, they are niche applications that are downloaded relatively rarely, so Windows does not have established reputation data for them — which may result in warnings.

The program occupies approximately 30 MB of disk space, plus additional space for user data such as QSO records and log files.

After downloading file version and before running/unpacking, it is a good idea to mark that the file does not come from the Internet.

  • Find the downloaded file.
  • Click with the right mouse button.
  • Find the Properties option.
  • Let’s check Unlock.Click on Apply.

Photo in Polish. Unfortunately, I didn’t have an English version of Windows available.

Then we can unpack the program anywhere. The only requirement is that the program has the ability (permissions) to write to its directory in order to save the configuration.

Now you can run it by clicking the RigAndLog-SP4THK.exe file

If .NET is not installed, a window will appear asking you to install it. If it does not appear, you need to manually install .NET 4.7.2.

📻 Omnirig

To ensure full functionality, you can install Omnirig by downloading from here: https://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/. However, this is not required if we want to use LogBook itself.

⚠️ Attention:

If you work in a split or use two VFOs A/B, the omnirig has control errors. In the OMNIRIG folder of the program, I have included two sample INI files to be uploaded to the omnirig program folder, e.g.: c:\Program Files (x86)\Afreet\OmniRig\Rigs\, which somewhat correct this inconvenience. Unfortunately, I cannot correct files from all devices and this is not possible for every device.

The program is what it is, errors, poor operation, damage, etc. etc. … obviously the author is not responsible.
The program is free for any use, but: Maybe you can buy me a coffee ?

3. Chromium Map Add-on

If you are using Windows 7, Linux, or a non-standard system configuration, you can install an additional component to enable map functionality.

Download the ZIP file and extract it directly into the application folder.
All required folders are already included in the archive — no manual setup is needed.
