Re: [Elecraft] fldigi for Mac / K3 / KX3 / K2
Take a look at MacLoggerDX, you do have to pay for it, but a number of us MacHams think it's well worth it (https://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html). Also there is RUMLog, which was free (http://www.dl2rum.de/rumsoft/RUMLog.html). > On 3 Jun 2016, at 17:20, Dauer, Edward wrote: > > Fumbling with the Aether logging program during the recent CQ WW WPX (CW) > convinced me that I need to bite the bullet and get a program that will do > rig control as well as logging.

Re: [Elecraft] fldigi for Mac / K3 / KX3 / K2
Thanks David ( and thanks to others who replied offline, including VE3KI, N1HO, NF4L, and others who will have replied by the time I send this.) I had tried both RUMLog and MacLogger in the past and, for reasons I can't now remember, I dropped them. It may be that back then I was looking just for manual logging rather than logging plus basic rig control (for one of them, I recall, I had to create a "phantom" transceiver to fool the program into thinking I actually had a rig connected to the computer.) Based on the advice I've gotten here, I will go back and look at each. As someone just said, for what I need fldigi is "way overkill." Good. It will not pain me to erase a 428 page user's manual that I won't be reading. At least not now. Maybe someday . . . Thanks again, all . . . Ted, KN1CBR Edward A. Dauer, LL.B. M.P.H.

Re: [Elecraft] fldigi for Mac / K3 / KX3 / K2
RUMlog got a big rewrite about a year ago, now it is RUMlogNG. Worth another look. You can install it from his website or from the Mac App Store. KX2 support was added in the most recent version. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 3, 2016, at 10:46 AM, Dauer, Edward wrote: > > Thanks David ( and thanks to others who replied offline, including VE3KI, > N1HO, NF4L, and others who will have replied by the time I send this.) > > I had tried both RUMLog and MacLogger in the past and, for reasons I can't > now remember, I dropped them.

Re: [Elecraft] fldigi for Mac / K3 / KX3 / K2
I only use fldigi for digital modes. For CW or SSB I have MacLoggerDX and think it is pretty good, but I prefer to use RUMlogNG (free). It also has a contest mode which supports most of the popular contests (new ones are added frequently). http://dl2rum.de/rumsoft/RUMLog.html Bob, N7XY On 6/3/16 9:45 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Take a look at MacLoggerDX, you do have to pay for it, but a number of us MacHams think it's well worth it (https://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html).

RumLogNG - gets my vote.
