well, Tlf can be used on only HF, it doesn't support other bands.
It can works on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 meters, and WARC bands.

As you can see, the band is on the log is 0001 - which is an
incorrect value. These are the correct values:

address@hidden:~/.tlf/wpx2014$ cut -b1-5 wpx.log | sort -n | uniq
 10CW
 15CW
 20CW
 40CW
 80CW
160CW

yes, because the 0001 is invalid value.

Looks like the write method is checked, but Tlf can't read that
line... May be that's a bug - I'll see soon.

yes.

The freq is showed, that's good, but it's independent by any
other things - it works because Tlf were compiled with hamlib,
and hamlib can read's the VFO freq - that's passed to Tlf, it's
not more than a float number.

Another important thing: the last field in logfile is the freq,
which stored on 7 characters, so the correct value on higher
thatn 9999 kHz is not accurate.


If you want to usean ncurses based logger on Linux, let's try the
Tucnak:

But I don't know does it support 50MHz...
