Version 2.0 has been through several SCR's now. It has proven to be stable
and reliable. Problem reports have been related to how it has been used, such as trying to read a data file created by an
older version of SCR-Log. However, I have heard that button labels may not be legible with some versions of Linux so I am
looking for some specific Linux feedback.
It's still a good idea to make backups as you would with any other information you value. My method is to regularly move the
.rbd data file and an updated .asc export file to a flash drive.

The suggested SCR frequencies listed within SCR-Log version 2 are outdated.
Due to changes in band allocations, SCR participants are encouraged to use new suggested frequencies.
Phone (kHz): 1855-1865; 3850-3880; 7225-7255; 14,250-14,280; 21,300-21,330; 28,440-28,460
CW (kHz): 1800-1810; 3530-3540; 7030-7040; 14,030-14,040; 21,130-21,140; 28,130-28,140
You can update the countries list before or during SCR. Updating is necessary
only if you contact a new entity not already on the included list. QTH "Try" index number hints will not point to added entities.
Update Examples:
Serbia and Montenegro are now separate entities. You will not be able to delete index number 260 (Serbia & Montenegro).
Instead add either Serbia (prefix YT-YU) or Montenegro (prefix 4O) to the countries list as a new entity. Note the new index
numbers and remember not to use 260.
Add Swains Island (prefix KH8) to the countries list as a new entity and note its index number.
Windows Correction
<Command><E> is listed in the Help File for all versions as the
key combination that erases entry fields. However, <Control><E> is used in the Windows version.
Cross-Platform Possibilities
Version 2 database format is identical on all platforms. Just for fun I
stored a copy of all v2 programs along with a single database file on a flashdrive. With it I was able to open and update
the database on a variety of Mac, Windows and Linux computers. This may or may not have a useful application.
As always,
testing precedes trusting.
