And since it's made from POTAto, I called it AuGratin.What is AuGratinTo answer this you must know whatPOTAis.POTAis Parks On The Air.
A year round activity of many amateur radio operators or HAMS.
The Activator, will set up a radio station in a state/national park and make as many contacts as they can.
Other Radio Amateurs also known as Hunters or Chasers, will seek out and try to contact as many Activators as they can.AuGratin allows APOTAHunter to easily log contacts with Activators.
It pulls latestPOTAspots. Displays them in a compact interface.
Once a spot is clicked on AuGratin will talk to either rigctld, flrig, or OmniRig to change the radio to the correct
frequency and mode. It will pre-populate All the fields needed for logging the contact.
All contacts are stored in an ADIF file in your home directory,
which you can then import into your normal logging program.Recent changes[23-5-26] Added Ubuntu dark mode if adwaita-qt is installed.[23-5-18] Fix crashes related to if flrig running w/ no radio, or flrig closes.

If your map is blank, try:pipuninstallPyQt5
pipuninstallPyQtWebEngineThen install them through your package manager.#fedorasudodnfinstallpython3-qt5python3-qt5-webengine#ubuntusudoaptinstallpython3-pyqt5python3-pyqt5.qtwebengineWhat to do if omnirig fails to connectOn occasion the win32 cache files can get corrupted preventing connection to omnirig. If omnirig was previously working but the continues to fail try erasing the cache files located here: C:\Users\username*\AppData\Local\Temp\gen_py\python version*CAT controlIf no command line options are given, the program will check if either flrig, rigctld or OmniRig are running on the computer. It will setup CAT control to whichever it finds first.You can force it to use either with commandline options.-rwill force rigctld with default host:port of localhost:4532.-fwill force flrig with default host:port of localhost:12345.-2will force 'Rig2' with OmniRig.-s SERVER:PORTwill specify a non-standard host and port.
