Logging Programs

[Elecraft mailing list]

Terry,

I use a freeware program called Logger32:  www.logger32.net .  I became
aware of the program as someone close to me did tech support prior to
becoming an SK.  It does have a healthy yahoogroup for questions.  They make
no bones about it NOT being a contest software program.  Otherwise, it does
virtually everything a logging software needs to do.

For contesting, I use the W3FJP software, as it is easy to use.  My goal is
to learn N1MM, as that is what I believe to be the de facto contest program.
I then export the contest log as an ADIF file, and import it into logger 32
which has my main log.  Both will do Cabrillo format which is the format in
which contest files are generally submitted.

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

So that no one gets confused, N1MMplus (the current vesion) is the most popular contest logging program out there.  It excels at contest logging and will let you cruise through 200+/hr QSO rates.  However it is not designed as a general purpose logger. N1MM makes this clear in the users guide.  It has a general DX logging mode but does not track QSLs or awards. The DX logging mode is really just another contest with no scoring.
The OP is looking for a general purpose logger and N1MMplus will not support his requirements.
I use N1MMplus for contesting and DXLabSuite for my general logging.
Take care.MarkAA3K

I recently picked up a Raspberry Pi 2 to use as a small internet
computer in case the main desktop died.  So far I've been pretty
impressed with it's ham radio capabilities.

FLDIGI was pretty easy to get running though I haven't progressed to the
USB hookup on my K3S yet (a few other programs to get running first).  
In the Logging Programs thread, CQRLOG was mentioned as a good Linux
based logging program and I have successfully gotten it running on the
Pi 2.  It is a little tricky to install and there is at least one
depencency (mysql) that isn't in the CQRLOG package so you're on your
own finding and installing that first.

There are others out there that apparently have some version of the RPi
running as a K3/KX3 control computer, so this is really nothing new,
just a reiteration of the fact it can be done and the little single
board Linux box seems to be up to the task.

I'd look forward to seeing how someone else has done the K3S USB
interface (off line please to avoid Eric's wrath for too much clutter on
the reflector) and as I get time I'll continue the attempt myself.  As
far as I have gotten, everything appears to work well and using WiFi, I
have a stable internet connection which is absolutely necessary to keep
frustration to a minimum when looking for and installing programs on the
Pi 2.

I have full CAT running with FLDIGI using HAMCAT. I'm in the process of
making/installing HAMLIB and CQRLOG.
One nice feature to install and run when needed is ser2net, that allows
comms with the K3S via network, playing with virtual serial ports by
eterlogic.com on the windows side to do updates with the K3 Utility..etc..
It would be nice if we had a K3S Linux group web something to share
notes/installs so we don't have to individually re-invent the wheel.
