Re: [Elecraft] MacLoggerDX vs RUMlog
RUMLog also uses SQLite db, and has a built-in custom query screen where you can enter SQL. 73, Mike NF4L On 8/24/12 7:51 PM, Phil Hystad wrote: > My opinion. > > I use MacLoggerDX mainly because all I need is a good database and with UI > entry, edit, and display screens.

Re: [Elecraft] MacLoggerDX vs RUMlog
I've been using MLDX for a long time, before RumLog was available and never really looked at RumLog, so no reasons really and can't say if one is better than the other. MLDX/K3/KX3 integration is good. I understand RumLog has some specific functions for K3, so I will give it a try someday. 73 de David, M0XDF (K3 #174, P3 #108) Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965).

Re: [Elecraft] MacLoggerDX vs RUMlog
My opinion. I use MacLoggerDX mainly because all I need is a good database and with UI entry, edit, and display screens. I like the fact that the log is stored in SQLite databases so I can easily access directly with my own programs for doing various things -- like computing the total distance of all my accumulated QSOs by summing over all the distance measures between my QTH and the other end where it is available. If not available I just guess. PEH On Aug 24, 2012, at 2:33 PM, Matt Maguire wrote: > What are the reasons you prefer MacLoggerDX over RumLog?

Re: [Elecraft] MacLoggerDX vs RUMlog
What are the reasons you prefer MacLoggerDX over RumLog? Is it purely because of the iPad companion application, or are there other reasons as well to choose MacLoggerDX over RUMLog? How is the integration with the Elecraft KX3? 73, Matt VK2ACL On 25/08/2012, at 12:41 AM, "David Ferrington, M0XDF" wrote: > Quite a lot of software is available for OSX (iMac OS) now and I think > MacLoggerDx is one of the best (although not free) and has a companion > version for iPad.
