Re: Logging software for Mac

I have been using MacLoggerDX from Dogpark Software with my iMac and several rigs, including my current K3, for three years now. It is one of the best software products I have ever used on any platform. The support is 'Elecraft -like" - great customer service from the author and a very knowledgable user community via the Yahoo group.

http://dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html

The application supports both the K2 and the K3. There is a limited use trial available.

Try out RUMlog by DL2RUM. It's free, brilliant and well supported.

RUMlog <www.dl2rum.de/rumsoft/RUMLog.html> is a more focused program
for the contester and DXer.

Maclogger DX <www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html> is a more
full-featured package with the best support of any Mac based logging
offering.

Both are outstanding offerings ... with excellent support for both
K2 and K3.

Re: Logging software for Mac

I have to disagree with you about RUMlog Joe. I use it for general logging
all the time. It even has net control which is a boon for me. RUMped does
the contesting stuff very well and I also use that but RUMlog is a terrific
general purpose logger. I especially like being able to search my log while
I am in the middle of logging another contact. This is very useful at
times.

Re: Logging software for Mac

In reply to this post by Randy Cook

Remember also that Wine is available and runs well on OSX

I use both Win-Test and KComm on my iMac; both run perfectly with the
K2 & K3. SD runs also but can be quirky.

KComm could probably be compiled to run directly on the Mac also as
the source code is available, but I'm too scared to try it.

Re: Logging software for Mac

Fldigi is available for Macs and has a built-in log which is somewhat rudimentary. I haven't tried, but suspect it wouldn't take a lot of work to get Xlog to run in OS X, along with hamlib to support a K2 or K3.

When you start down that path, VMware, Parallels Desktop, etc.
are also available that allow most (all) of the Windows loggers
to run on a Mac. However, there is a significant difference
between running Windows in a virtual machine and running native
OS-X software.

RUMLog is a bit more than a pure DX/Contest package, for example it
includes good QSL tracking capabilities, but it does not have the
breadth of features found in MLDX.

Re: Logging software for Mac

True, but RUmlog has much better integration with the K3.

The K3 status panel and macro buttons have become features I miss when I only run MLDX.

I also occasionally use RUMlog's access to FSK D.

I do run MLDX at the same time because I like it's QRZ look up and general appearance.

Thank you to those who have contributed to this thread.
Yet another example of how very useful this mailing list can be to us
all. As a result I have now started to use RUMlog.
