I currently just use a scratch pad for it. I have added a stacking register in version 4.0.9b3 of MacLoggerDX ... You add frequency and mode pairs with the File Menu "Add to Stack" command (-'S') and they are added to a popup button just to the right of the Look Up and Log QSO buttons. The latest additions are always at the top of the menu and they can be reloaded into the radio just by selecting them from the popup button. The register will hold 100 frequency and mode pairs before it starts to recycle the oldest slots. 73 Don Agro VE3VRW D o g P a r k S o f t w a r e L t d . email: dagro@dogparksoftware.com www: http://www.dogparksoftware.com iChat AV:dogpark@mac.com From k8jwt at adelphia.net Tue May 24 22:48:27 2005 From: k8jwt at adelphia.net (Jacob Tennant) Date: Tue May 24 22:48:35 2005 Subject: [DogParkList] Radio question Message-ID: <000501c560d4$3a2120b0$2002a8c0@k8jwt> My soon to be HF radio is a Yaesu FT-747GX and I don't see it listed in the supported radios on the web site.

Message-ID: <00D31462-0BBB-48E2-90FE-285065FFF7E5@dogparksoftware.com> MacLoggerDX 4.0.9 released ! Dog Park Software is pleased to announce that version 4.0.9 of MacLoggerDX has been released and can be downloaded from: What's New in this version: * Added Stacking Registers to save frequency and mode * Added Email DX Alerts for DXCC, WAS & CQ WAZ. (Mail.app only) * Added support for Google Maps. * Enabled the "Find" command in the Log and Map Panels. * Enabled Address Panel entry Copy to Clipboard. * Instant KRM registration added for 3D Upgrade (OSX). * Added worked/confirmed totals for all awards to the Log Panel. --------------------------------------------------------- MacLoggerDX logs into your favorite Telnet or TNC DXCluster and as DX Spots are received, tunes your radio to the spot, looks up the call and displays the DX station on the real time grey line Map with distance and bearing from your station. If you decide to work the station, MacLoggerDX is ready to instantly add the QSO and your Radio's VFO information to your log and can swing your beam around to work the station Direct or Long Path. MacLoggerDX supports ADIF Import/Export which is fully compatible with eQSL.cc and the ARRL LoTW. MacLoggerDX looks up calls on the Internet, the new QRZ or HamCall Online premium services, in QRZ CD Roms, on MapQuest, it's internal zipcode database, Dxpedition database, the ARRL country and DX lists, your Log Book and your User Call Book. MacLoggerDX's internal databases are regularly updated instantly over the Internet. With a single key stroke you can see where this QSO is operating from - right down to the street level ! Not sure of the call you just heard ? K5ZD Super Check Partial Database Files are there to help you out as you enter a partial call! In the background MacLoggerDX can tune your rig to a pre-arranged schedule or scan list - interrupting the program if something of interest pops up on the DXCluster. MacLoggerDX automatically tracks DXCC, IOTA, WAS, VUCC and CQ WAZ (Worked All Zones) Awards; has a Bands Display panel which tracks activity by HF Ham Band and lets you quickly tune to the action using a separate VFO slider for each band - as well as VFO Stacking registers for quick recall of interesting frequencies. MacLoggerDX can monitor, decode, lookup and plot APRS packets from APRSServe on the Internet or a connected TNC. You can use the TNC panel to communicate with any serial TNC to monitor and decode APRS traffic, DXCluster Spots or to work any of the digital modes supported by the TNC. See stations pop up on the map in real time as they digipeat APRS packets over the International Space Station ! MacLoggerDX features popup selection of multiple logs, searching and sorting based on any log field, automatic one-click generation of eQSL Cards, fast and easy printing of logs, envelopes, QSL Cards and bulk address labels, unlimited user-customizeable memories, Drag and Drop Scan List with adjustable delay, UTC scheduled events that automatically switch between summer, winter, weekend and weekday schedules, an integrated CW keyer (OS X) and drivers for over 70 popular Amateur Radio Transceivers and SWL Receivers as well as multi- radio quick-select preferences for switching quickly and easily between multiple rigs. MacLoggerDX can also sync your rig with the NCDXF/IARU Propagation Beacon Network for empirical propagation status displayed in real- time on the world map. MacLoggerDX is fully integrated with MacDopplerPRO X for logging of satellite QSO's and with Apple's OS X Address Book for quick adds of lookup data. --------------------------------------------------------- Requirements * Mac OS 9 with CarbonLib 1.6 or Mac OS X. * Internet connection for Telnet DXClusters. and/or * Radio & TNC for Packet DXClusters.

I tried the attachment you sent me again, but this time on the desktop and it appeared to expand OK but when it was done there were "0" items in the folder.

I use EchoMac here with a Linksys router and have to forward the EchoMac ports (5198-5200) to the IP address of the computer I am running EchoMac on. I never could get 'port triggering' on the LinkSys to automatically figure out what computer is running EchoMac, but 'port forwarding' works fine. 73 Don Agro VE3VRW D o g P a r k S o f t w a r e L t d . email: dagro@dogparksoftware.com www: http://www.dogparksoftware.com iChat AV:dogpark@mac.com From steveweinert at mac.com Mon Jun 27 07:17:41 2005 From: steveweinert at mac.com (Steve Weinert) Date: Mon Jun 27 07:17:48 2005 Subject: [DogParkList] minimac and linksys router + EchoMac In-Reply-To: <0496386A-EED9-49A8-97D6-CB096A2018F8@dogparksoftware.com> References: <0496386A-EED9-49A8-97D6-CB096A2018F8@dogparksoftware.com> Message-ID: <5083319.1119871061203.JavaMail.steveweinert@mac.com> On Sunday, June 26, 2005, at 06:24AM, Don Agro wrote: >On 26-Jun-05, at 8:20 AM, Bernard Sternberg wrote: > >> am currently using minimac- long way from original 'fat mac'!

Once these are set I found I couldn't completely clear the effects until I did a full reboot (the resent bitton for a minute) of the router. As Don mentions the implimentation of Triggering/Forwarding/... is spotty. I'll double check how I finally got mine set, but EchoMac does work. 73 Steve KB9GPN From myles at dti.net Wed Jun 29 19:21:44 2005 From: myles at dti.net (myles landstein) Date: Wed Jun 29 19:22:04 2005 Subject: [DogParkList] LBOTW Message-ID: Has anyone gotten tqslcert to run under tiger?
