This weekend 8/6/16 I will be checking out the CAT interface with an FT-857D. I will certainly be sending a donation for his time developing this great Mac software. I had one question about DX spots and Tom responded to my post in the forum within an hour of my posting it. While I'm still checking out RUMLogNG, so far I really like it. MLDX and Aether both had challenges with this. In N1MM and in RUMLogNG it is easy to fill in this information as you hear it. Often I would catch the name or QTH while another station is mid QSO. When working DX in rough conditions it's often necessary to fill in information as you hear it. 15mins is not long enough to get a feel for the software.īoth packages had one very annoying problem. While both seem okay I became very annoyed with MacLoggerDX timing out between every QSO. I started looking at the options MacLoggerDX and Aether being the main two I checked out. I have also built a long standing disdain for everything Microsoft. I am getting back into HF work and wanting to actively log again. Eventually I started using N1MM running on an IBM Clone and DOS 3.x.įast forward to today. My first log was a pen and paper, 10 Meters was open and I was having a blast with CW and SSB on 10m on a Drake C-Line and a dipole at about 3 meters from the ground. I think I received my Novice ticket around 1984. I have been a Ham for longer than I want to admit. It might not have as many bells & whistles of some programs I've seen, but for logging, QSL admin and general ease of use, it's No 1 for me! Would you get better "client care" from paid-for software? I wouldn't bet on it, but for all you Mac hams looking for a straightforward interface, you won't do better.

RUMLOGNG VS MACLOGGERDX DRIVER

It was breakfast time in Germany, dinner time in Australia, but Tom was able to interrogate my transceiver, fiddle with the arcane and mysterious CAT commands until lo and behold a new version of the program was in my inbox containing the appropriate driver for my rig! Unfortunately Yaesu does not seem to provide a CAT command for the PTT on the 920, so that was the only missing link.Įmailed this small gripe to Tom - then hey presto another vision of the program turned up containing the missing command (which turns out to be the same as used by the 890).

RUMLOGNG VS MACLOGGERDX SOFTWARE

This is where the writer of this software went above and beyond.

RUMLOGNG VS MACLOGGERDX DRIVERS

Plenty of newer rig drivers were included, but not the venerable 920. Transferred my old PC logs using ADIF, connected to LoTW, EQSL, QRZ.com and DX spot server with no problem and off I went.īut wait! There was no connection with my FT920 so was unable to read or send frequency & mode information.

RUMLOGNG VS MACLOGGERDX UPDATE

Then of course the inevitable happened - the laptop wouldn't load an update and began to run like a dead wombat.ĭetermined to find a Mac logger, I tried the usual suspects and eventually arrived at RUMlog. Having moved to Mac some time ago, I kept a Windows laptop just for logging and radio-related uses. Easy to learn, easy to use, and powerful functionality makes RUMLog a winner. RUMLog's intuitive layout, effortless LOTW/eQSL integration, QRZ lookup, Search functions, etc., are easy on the eyes and brain. I much prefer it to the popular MacLogger. RUMLogNG is very well designed/coded software for DXers. Being excellent software, I't was a tough act to follow. Previously I logged with DXKeeper, from the DXLab suite. I've been using RUMlogNG daily for about a month now. Thank you DL2RUM! 73Įarlier 5-star review posted by ZS1DX on RUMlog is available in the App Store, and updates from the App Store - the way serious Mac software should be. But RUMlog is, for me at least, more functional for the DX'er.

MacLogger has more eye-candy, is prettier.

I had high hopes for MacLoggerDX, but found the LoTW, ClubLog integration, award tracking, QSL tracking and "all the info I need at a glance" not as useful as in RUMlog. On the Windows platform I prefer DXlab, albeit somewhat clunky and convoluted. Also own and have used AC Log as well as MacLoggerDX. I own and have used DX4WIN for many years. RUMlogNG is my favourite logging software.
