![]() ![]() I will complete a review of MacLoggerDX in future posts, but for now I thought I would explain my rationale of making the switch. And on the odd occasion I did venture into digital modes. ![]() Its not HRD, its not an all in one solution, its a log book that can use the radios VFO, the rotor and DX cluster all together. So the solution ? well its not a solution to be fair. ![]() It’s a combination of all the elements tethered together that makes the experience unusable. Its not the fault of HRD, nor is it the fault of the Virtual Machine, The RS-232 - USB connectors. HRD over a Virtual Machine, using RS-232 connectors is unpredictable, slow and frankly unusable. I transitioned from PC to Mac around 3 years ago, and have been using a Virtual PC to do my PC based tasks (including my day job) and this is the issue. This I completely agree with, and my time using HRD was always a great experience and I would recommend the software to anyone. Amongst the re-tweets and comments i received, Danny (PA3DM) did mention that HRD is not just a logbook, but a full suite of digital modes, rotor and a rig control system. Thank you for commenting and visiting the website.I recently tweeted that I had dropped Ham Radio Deluxe in favour for MacLoggerDX. I’m always interested in how these get resolved.īTW are you using a registered version of MLDX? Please let me know more details when you can. If yours in changing when you connect to MLDX then possibly there is a setting in the MacLoggerDX>Preferences>Radio tab that is misconfigured. It stay at the existing freq., mode and FIL. When mine connects to just MacLoggerDX nothing changes on the radio. I saw a video on YouTube with RUMLogNG displaying the Icom 7300 ’s bandscope on the monitor. When it connects to MLDX does your mode change on the radio? From the website, RUMlogNG is a HAM radio logging, QSL handling and printing tool, especially made for the short wave DXer, made by a DXer. Touch the BW soft key and rotate the tuning knob until FIL 1 displays 3.6k. Hold down the FIL1 soft button until the Filter is displayed in the lower portion of the LCD. When it connects to MLDX does your FIL on the radio change? When it is FIL2 or FI元 a bandscope on the computer (WSJT-X waterfall) will be very narrow. I am not sure if I understand you correctly. ![]() I haven’t tried one yet, but hope to some day soon. It’s great to hear from someone using a MacBook Pro. The next video on MacLoggerDX will show more of the dxclusters setup, alarms, map, etc.Īt this moment, I want to enjoy using the software in the CQ-WW-WPX-SSB contest a little more. From there you can setup the radio and get it working. Once in the program go to MacLoggerDX>Preferences>Radio. First, begin by downloading and installing the USB driver, then download and install the MacLoggerDX program. I’ll explain why in another article, when using Fldigi with MacLoggerDX. Someday I’ll probably have both attached permanently to the iMac. I have tried using both cables on the iMac too and it works great. With my laptop PC and the Icom 7300 I use a CI-V and USB Cable. See the beginning of the video below for all of my Icom 7300 settings. I changed the “CI-V USB Echo Back” to ON. In the radio for MacLoggerDX setup all I needed to do was change one thing when moving from RUMLogNG to MacLoggerDX. With my iMac I’m using one USB cable for everything. Look, you also get Twitter uploads with QSL photos! Icom 7300 Setup I especially like how it’ll upload in real time to QRZ.com, eQSL, ClubLog, LOTW and Twitter. MacLoggerDX has it own set of really nice features too. The bandscope, memories and the control over fixed bandscope edges is fantastic. RUMLogNG has some great features especially for the Icom 7300 transceiver. I started out with RUMLogNG, because it’s free software. If you remember I purchased an old iMac just to try out some Mac software. It is amazing software, especially for the DX chaser and if you like having online logbooks, this is the software for you. No problems getting MacLoggerDX setup with my Icom 7300. MacLoggerDX was very easy to setup and when I ran into a question or two later on I e-mailed the developer Don, and he got right back to me with the answer. Even if you are on a PC, have a look at this! This program has some really nice features. ![]()
