[Elecraft] Mac Logging Software

[Richard]

I’m looking for a simple basic logging program for the Mac, preferably one that 
I can tailor to my needs, one that would be good for SSB contacts.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

[Elecraft] MAC logging software

[George Rebong]

Looking for a nice MAC logging software that I can use for my K3/K2. Any 
recommendations that you would like to share.
Thank you.

Re: [Elecraft] Mac Logging Software

[Bayard Coolidge, N1HO via Elecraft]

 I've been using RUMlogNG for years, and it's worked beautifully for me, and 
it's well-maintained. It integrateswith LoTW beautifully, as well as other 
databases. There are numerous rig control features available that Idon't 
personally use, since I tend to use WSJT-X or JTDX, and it does cooperate with 
those two programs sothat when you finish a QSO, the data is sent from them to 
RUMlogNG and is plopped into my log automatically.For example, it will track 
the frequency data from a K3 or K4D, and some ops use it to directly key it on 
CW.For manual (i.e., non-digital) modes, QSO entry is simple, straightforward 
and intuitive.

It's available directly from the AppStore or you can go to DL2RUM's website 
directly, and is free.

I also use it for contest logging - there is a pull-down menu that sets up a 
separate logging interface configuredfor the specific contest you're working, 
to present real-time scores, missing multipliers, etc.

The formatting of this e-mail may've been messed up by Yahoo, and should not 
reflect on the value of RUMlogNG :-)

HTH, and 73,

Re: [Elecraft] Mac Logging Software

I'll second the nomination of RUMlog for general QSO logging on a Mac. I
don't care for the contest section but I haven't really spent enough time
with it for my observations to be definitive. It does not appear to support
SO2R or SO2V and doesn't have nearly the configurability of N1MM, my
preferred contest logger. But for general QSOs, RUMlog has everything I
might ask for, much better than limping along with a contest logger.

Another option is MacLoggerDX (MLDX). It is a paid application but works 
beautifully well. It is full featured and has lots of bells and whistles, some 
which I thought I wouldn’t need or use, but having them opened my eyes to the 
possibility. For example, I use MLDX as my main Mac logging program and when I 
run WSJTx it will receive broadcast QSO info from WSJTx and log it directly 
into my main database. It has a telnet application to spot dx and if you like 
it can qsy you to that station with a mouse click. It’s again one of those 
things you don’t know you need or want until you try it. It integrates w LoTW, 
EQSL and Club Log. Plus the owner Don Agro is a great guy, he will reply to 
queries often in a few minutes after you send an email. It’s worth a look.

Re: [Elecraft] Mac Logging Software

[Kevin McQuiggin]

Hi Richard:

I will second Rich Lim’s positive comments re MacLoggerDX (MLDX).  I’ve been 
using it for several years now.  It is a fantastic logging application with 
full LoTW/QRZ/eQSL/etc upload integration.  It also tracks 
grids/states/DXCC/zones etc and tracks award eligibility.  It does spots, has 
an interactive map, and has many other features.

User support is top notch, as Rich noted.  Don VE3VRW (the developer) also 
accepts good suggestions from the user base and incorporates them into beta 
releases, and then eventually into the production releases, which come out 3-5 
times a year.

MLDX also integrates easily with “GridTracker”, a free MacOS application that 
displays grid squares and QSOs that your radio is hearing in real time.  This 
is actually more valuable info that what pskreporter reports, as 
MLDX/GridTracker is displaying the stations you are actually receiving.

73,

Kevin VE7ZD/KN7Q

[a4...@sy-edm.com]

Kevin,
SkookumLogger is my #1 logger on a Mac.  The source code is available - 
so you can add your own features (I added a Voice Player for example as my K3S 
does not have that hardware).

RumLog is a good all-round logger also, easy to configure to work with 
WJJTX also for maintaining an ft8/4 log should that interest you.

Try them both - they are free

Re: [Elecraft] Mac Logging Software

[Jack Brindle via Elecraft]

Ah, but Kevin, this topic is for Mac logging… I will agree that SkookumLogger 
is really good for contesting. I don’t think I would use it for general 
logging, though.

I’ll ask my question of Kevin in his topic… ;-)

 Hi Richard:
 
 I will second Rich Lim’s positive comments re MacLoggerDX (MLDX). I’ve 
 been using it for several years now. It is a fantastic logging application 
 with full LoTW/QRZ/eQSL/etc upload integration. It also tracks 
 grids/states/DXCC/zones etc and tracks award eligibility. It does spots, 
 has an interactive map, and has many other features.
 
 User support is top notch, as Rich noted. Don VE3VRW (the developer) also 
 accepts good suggestions from the user base and incorporates them into 
 beta releases, and then eventually into the production releases, which 
 come out 3-5 times a year.
 
 MLDX also integrates easily with “GridTracker”, a free MacOS application 
 that displays grid squares and QSOs that your radio is hearing in real 
 time. This is actually more valuable info that what pskreporter reports, 
 as MLDX/GridTracker is displaying the stations you are actually receiving.

Re: [Elecraft] MAC logging software

[Scott Manthe]

You'll get recommendations for MacLoggerDX, and it is nice software, but 
it's also $95. I recommend RUMLog, which does just about everything MLDX 
does, but its free (or whatever you choose to donate). There is a 
contest version, called RUMped as well as versions for the iPad/iPhone 
and they all can be downloaded here:

http://www.dl2rum.de/rumsoft/RUMsoft_Home.html

Rather than charge you $95 up front, DL2RUM allows you to decide for 
yourself how much the programs are worth to you and there's a Paypal 
donation button on the page, if you decide you like the programs. I do 
like them, so I donate once a year. You might decide you like 
MacLoggerDX and that it's worth the $95, but I'd suggest trying the 
RUMlog offerings first.

RUMLogNG has about 75 pre-defined contests. I think RUMPed is sorta deprecated.

Re: [Elecraft] MAC logging software

Mike, NF4L, is correct. RUMlogNG is the version to use for daily and
contest logging. I asked that question on the forums and Tom, DL2RUM? (The
author), told me that.

Re: [Elecraft] MAC logging software

[Rick Prather]

If you are using a K3 the K3 and P3 control screens in RUMLogNG are hard to 
beat on any platform.

Also, if you are a DX’er it does a superior job of tracking and displaying DXCC 
slots and their status.

RUMlogNG also has much better integration with LotW and doesn’t require you to 
use a 3rd party utility to do one-click LotW downloads.  It also does a far 
better job tracking QSL’s by either paper or LotW.

The DX Spot screen of RMLNG is very well done and does a better job of 
displaying needed DXCC entities and Slots needed that any other logger, even 
the best Windows loggers.

I have used all three major Mac loggers over several years and RUMLogNG is the 
way to go for a DX’er and especially one that runs the K3.
