Logging Programs

Terry
Hello All,

 

I have been using a logging program for many years called LOGic.  I am
currently upgraded to ver. 9 because it had a KX3 interface.  As I have been
using it in the learning mode, I find that the error trapping is not good
and the program constantly crashes when I try to do something the software
does not expect.  It is extremely frustrating to use.

 

I would be interested in changing to another logging/tcvr interfacing
software program.  What has been your experience with these programs and
what do you think are the best one's out there at this time.  I want
something that will look up callsigns as I enter the calls, and it would be
nice to have forms that can be edited and the fields moved around.   Award
tracking is a big part of LOGic, as well as uploading to LOTW from the
program.  It has a lot of features, but it has to be robust and usable, and
this version is not that.

 

Thanks and 73's,

 

Terry Brown, N7TB

Re: Logging Programs

Ian Kahn, KM4IK
Terry,

I've used Ham Radio Deluxe for years and am quite happy with it. It has
most of the features you're looking for (I'm not aware of customizable
forms, but fields can be added/removed/moved in the logger), plus
outstanding rig control, digital mode software in DM780, satellite tracking
(if you ever go that route), and more.

In the interest of full disclosure, I don't have a financial interest in
HRD, but I am one of their evangelists in the Metro Atlanta area. Let me
know if you have any specific questions (off-list, please) and I'll be
happy to answer as best I can.

Thanks and 73,

Ian, KM4IK

Dxlabs meets all your mentioned requirement plus a whole lot more.
I have tried many programs but only Dxlabs has worked for me.
Like this reflector, support is top shelf.
I concur with Jim, k9yc, I like FREE 😊

N1MM is contest software.  It does not support QSL or award management
which were two of the stated requirements.

BTW, to clarify previous recommendations, the software mentioned is
DXLab or DXLab Suite <www.dxlabsuite.com> not DXLabs.

Terry, also consider Logger32. Free, well supported, very customisable,
automatic program and Clublog callsign/country updates, dxpedition details
plus pretty much every other feature you could want, including the ones you
mention.

Try CommCAT.  Www.commcat.com.  

 I have been a beta tester for years, and it keeps getting better.  It integrates beautifully with the Internet.  LOTW uploads are very easy, as are downloads of QSL info from LOTW.  It works well with my K3 and my rotor.  It has very detailed packet spot alerting, so you can get quick info about which spots you need to work for new bands/modes, etc.  Howard, W6HN provides fabulous support, fixes bugs quickly, and is always upgrading capabilities.

Yes, you did. N1MM is a contest logger, not a general logger, and is a
very poor choice for general logging.

Logic9 is another logging program.  It has user configurable layout and a
number of other features.  www.hosenose.com is the website.

support is good, but the program is not free!

No.
The best general logging program Linux users available is CQRLog.
Disclaimer: Since I quit using Linux, long story, lets just say the
state of accessibility software for Windows and Linux (there is one
package and it's not good) is like night and day, I haven't kept up all
that closely with development of CQRLog.

Re: Logging Programs

Larry (K8UT)
In reply to this post by Jerry Moore
Jerry,

There is a small community of Linux users out there who report mixed results
getting Windows logging apps (N1MM, DXLabs, HRD, and Logger32) running under
WinE. My own experiments have used WinE and VirtualBox on Raspbian Jessie
with the newer quad-core RPi model 2. App performance has been remarkably
good, with Windows 10 on VirtualBox showing the most promise. The stumbling
block always seems to be getting CAT working with Windows serial ports
talking through the Linux /dev/tty* devices.

Unfortunately, this pursuit is at the bottom of a long list of programming
projects and I am not likely to make further progress anytime soon. But I am
interested in the topic and look forward to hearing about your findings.

Re: Logging Programs

In reply to this post by Terry
As the original sender of this thread, I want to thank all of you for taking
the time to answer my question.  I was amazed at the number of logging
programs out there, and the satisfaction that each of you have with the
program you have.  I have spent the better part of a day looking at the ones
you suggested.  I still haven't decided whether to stay with LOGic 9 or go
with something else.  LOGic 9 is a very inclusive program.  It's interface
is a bit dated, but it has served me very well over the years.  I was just
getting frustrated with so many crashes.

 

Thanks again, and Very 73's to all,

 

Terry Brown, N7TB

My advice is that you try several of the free logging programs for some time and then decide which one you like the best. You can see from the answers that not one logging program fits all. It very much is a matter of taste. It should be very easy to move your log from any one logging system to another, so you dont have to worry about missing logged QSOs. I have used the free version HRD for many years and it fits my needs. I use another logging system (Ham Quicklog) on this iPAD (when operating RC from the iPAD) and from time to time I "synchronize"  the HRD and Ham Quicklog logs. Takes a few minutes but no sweat.
