Re: [Elecraft] Slightly OT: Logging programs for the Mac
I use TR4W in Parallels with Win7. All works well including CAT, CW and PTT, DX cluster etc. I have tried several native OSx loggers but they all lack some features as compaired with TR4W. I mainly use MacBook in the field with my KX3. 73, Igor UA9CDC - Original Message - From: "Hank Garretson" To: "Joshua Gould" Cc: "Elecraft List" Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 8:52 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Slightly OT: Logging programs for the Mac I recommend Skookum Logger. http://k1gq.com/SkookumLogger/index.html 73, Hank, W6SX On Thursday, June 19, 2014, Joshua Gould wrote: For those of you that run Macs, what software do you use for logging.

Re: [Elecraft] Slightly OT: Logging programs for the Mac
I use MacLoggerDX. I’ve tried RUMLog, it is OK if you can deal with its quirks. I tried Aether - it lasted about 30 seconds. MLDX is a bit quirky, too, but I can live with it. It does OK as a contest logger if you’re not a serious contester. I have used N1MM in a Parallels VM - works just fine. The Mac versions of the Elecraft utilities work just fine. I’ve used Cocoa Modem, but frankly I prefer fldigi for the very little digital mode work I do, and the Mac version works well. 73, Chuck, AA3CS - “Mr. Scott, there are always alternatives." -- Spock On Jun 19, 2014, at 8:24 PM, Joshua Gould wrote: > For those of you that run Macs, what software do you use for logging. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

I have also experimented with fldigi on the Mac (and on Linux). It also seems to work well, but I haven't given it the many hours I've spent with the DL2RUM programs. Fldigi works great on my Mac.

Last year I emailed the author a couple of times about a problem I was having with the software. He never responded. I figured that I paid for the program and he should have responded. I went to RUMlog and just recently (a couple of days ago) deleted Aether. Don't bother with it unless you don't mind getting no support. For reference, my current setup is a late 2012 27" iMac with 8GB RAM and OS X 10.9.3.

Re: [Elecraft] Slightly OT: Logging programs for the Mac
I use RUMLog, which is designed as a DX logging program for general logging. For contests, I use RUMPed which includes duplicate call checking and other contest features. Both programs can read the current frequency from my K3, and RUMLog can read the KX3. Since both programs are written by the same programmer, and both radios have similar computer interfaces, I expect RUMPed will work with the KX3 as well. There is good integration between cocoaModem for digital modes and RUMPed. RUMPed can run macros in cocoaModem and display cocoaModem's waterfall and decoded text. For example, double clicking on a call sign in the received text puts it into the call sign field of the log entry being built. Both programs are supposed to be able to send CW, but I haven't experimented with that feature. (My CW is bad enough that I think I should be hand-sending everything for the practice.) I have also experimented with fldigi on the Mac (and on Linux). It also seems to work well, but I haven't given it the many hours I've spent with the DL2RUM programs. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/19/14 at 5:24 PM, jg.k8...@gmail.com (Joshua Gould) wrote: For those of you that run Macs, what software do you use for logging.
