ParkWatch for Linux
===================

1) Open a terminal in this folder and run:
       bash install-parkwatch.sh

   It installs the small radio helper and registers it with your
   Chrome-family browser, then prints the final steps.

2) In your browser: go to  chrome://extensions , turn on Developer mode,
   click "Load unpacked", and choose THIS folder.

Notes
-----
* The extension works without the helper — spot watching, alerts, needed-park
  flags and logging all run in the browser. The helper adds WSJT-X logging,
  rig control and the DX cluster.

* Native-package browsers (Google Chrome .deb, Chromium/Brave .deb/.rpm) work
  cleanly. Ubuntu's default *snap* Chromium usually BLOCKS the helper — install
  a native-package browser for the helper features. See parkwatch.online for
  details.

* Rig control uses Hamlib (rigctld), TCI, or FLRig. Install Hamlib with your
  package manager, e.g.  sudo apt install libhamlib-utils .
