They key things here are Firefox works/MLDX doesn't, I think. If you can get Firefox to successfully do the lookup, that means the router and sat-link are working fine. If you use the "Free Internet Lookup" in the "Station Info" box and then enable the "Free Internet Lookup" in the "Lookup" section of the "Prefs" panel, does that work? Since that is doing (I'm guessing) about the same thing that Firefox is doing, that should work. If it doesn't, we've REALLY got something interesting. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing there is nothing wrong with the router/link. I'm also guessing that the request/ response to QRZ should work fine without you poking extra holes in your firewall since you are initiating the connection on your end, sending a request, and getting a response back along the same connection (complete guess--Don? Does is that right?) So: If the free lookup works and the premium (that requires the username/password) doesn't, we have only to figure out what is different between those two modes. If the free one doesn't work, then we need to go back to Don and try to see why. My 2-cents. -- Scott (NE1RD) On Oct 3, 2006, at 6:58 PM, Greg Hemmings wrote: > Ok, here's the problem.

All is know is that direcway customers can get the QRZ online service to work in MLDX with dialup but not with direcway. Same computer - same program different ISP. I think the key is that the server is "online.qrz.com" not "www.online.qrz.com" Try "www.online.qrz.com" in your web browser - it doesn't work but "online.qrz.com" does. 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 dagro at dogparksoftware.com Tue Oct 3 21:20:50 2006 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Tue Oct 3 21:23:14 2006 Subject: [DogParkList] Proxy Problems!

I create a disk image and mount it at startup. Simply copying the files will not always work with email addresses with some QRZ volumes. (This is one of the methods QRZ uses to discourage spammers from harvesting email addresses). 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 g.berges at bergesetco.com Sun Oct 8 10:40:51 2006 From: g.berges at bergesetco.com (Gustavo Berges) Date: Sun Oct 8 10:40:59 2006 Subject: [DogParkList] V4.2.7b19 Cluster Connection Message-ID: When starting the program with reconnect to DX cluster automatically, I?m getting these errors: [Connect failure: -3170, XTI2OSStatus(TBADNAME) A bad endpoint name was supplied] [Disconnected at 10/8/06 10:37:47 AM] [Connect failure: -3170, XTI2OSStatus(TBADNAME) A bad endpoint name was supplied] [Disconnected at 10/8/06 10:38:17 AM] [Connect failure: -3162, XTI2OSStatus(TNODATA) No data available for reading] [Disconnected at 10/8/06 10:38:50 AM] [Connect failure: -3170, XTI2OSStatus(TBADNAME) A bad endpoint name was supplied] [Disconnected at 10/8/06 10:40:22 AM] Ideas?

That said, I have had good luck running MacLoggerDX in contests and have created a companion application called Cab-converter which creates properly formatted Cabrillo files for most of the major contests. MacLoggerDX does not have the kind of function key support for CW keyers and other shortcuts that you would expect from one of these DOS applications. It also doesn't keep track of your running score, alert you to multipliers, or work with other copies on a network the way some other contest logging programs can. Further, data entry is not as stream-lined as with other contest loggers. All that said, MacLoggerDX is an excellent general purpose logging program not just for the Macintosh platform but for any platform. It is not designed to be a contest logging program, yet it can perform as one for contesting efforts that are not trying to win CQWW Multi-Multi. If you are single op, low power, and just contesting for fun, you may find that MLDX does a reasonable job for you. If you are used to 300 an hour run-rates, expect tight logger-keyer integration, or very rich contest-data display, you may be frustrated by trying to use this general purpose program for the very specific use. I plan on using MacLoggerDX for CQWW, ARRL Sweepstakes, ARRL DX, and CQWW WPX contests this year. I will not win. :-) I will have fun. I hope this answers your question. If not, please post to the list again and we can discuss it some more.

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 using MapQuest, Google Maps or Google Earth. 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 and will even use Mail.app or Eudora to Email you if that rare DX location pops up on the DX Clusters. It 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.

We use the TS-2000 on the satellite gateway and is normally controlled by MacDoppler... It works fine - just remember to load the latest Keyspan Universal driver (v2.3)... I haven't tried the #USA-49W but the 19 and the 28's work great. I have noticed on the Mac Pro that the Keyspan's may be finicky about which usb port or hub you plug them into but if they show up in the Keyspan Serial Assistant they will work with MLDX.

Are the drivers cable specific, or will a generic driver for Mac work with this cable ? There is a link for a Universal Binary Driver on the MLDX web site; would it work with the above cables? Or is this a plug and play affair? (I thought that was the whole reason for buying a Mac...) I am running OSX. I just noticed that Black Cat Systems makes a USB to Icom CI-V cable, but at twice the price. If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <394F0102-FF03-47C1-A9A7-ADABA3A1CD38@mac.com> Chris, First of all, this sure isn't a stupid question! But, there is some trivia here that you might not know which does muddy things a bit. The cables you have pointed to are really a combination of the following: * 1/8" plug for connecting to the ICOM. The ICOM radio does not "talk" using RS232C; it uses another set of voltage levels which can be easily converted to RS232C. * Level conversion between ICOM and RS232C. * A USB RS232C device that, given proper drivers in the host computer's operating system, will add a serial port to the list of available ports on that computer (which is not connected to your radio) that some logging program or rig control software can connect to. The trick now is to get those appropriate drivers for your computer. Lots of stuff "just works" on the Macintosh, but it isn't "magic". The little chip inside our adapter must have the corresponding drivers inside your computer for the computer to recognize the device and take advantage of it. The two links you showed us had pictures showing the CDROM containing the Windows drivers. If you _knew_ you could find Macintosh drivers for those little chips inside these adapters, you could indeed use them. But, without knowing which USB-RS232C chipset these devices use, it is a crapshoot as to whether you could find the proper drivers. I have myself purchased the RigTalk things from West Mountain Radio but have yet to find the appropriate drivers for the Macintosh so I can use it. (I've not looked in a while. I've been busy. But, when I tried earlier, I came up empty.) My point is this: it is fully possible to buy one of these cheap alternatives and find the correct driver for the chip inside. If you do, please tell us! It is also possible to not find the correct driver and never get MacOS X to recognize the device. You might be better off (if you like simplicity) finding a Keyspan USB serial adapter that we _know_ works with the Macintosh, and then find some cheap "level converter" for ICOM radios that turns the radio's non-RS232C signals into RS232C so it works with the Keyspan device. If this is confusing or unhelpful, let me know and I'll try again. I'm not always clear the first (or, sadly, sometimes second) time. Take care.

There is no built in support in OS X for USB/Serial adapters so you need a driver - but - there are only a few different USB/Serial adapter chipsets and a driver for one may work with others - but no guarantees - unless the adapter manufacturer promises Mac support. > I just noticed that Black Cat Systems makes a USB to Icom CI-V > cable, but at twice the price.

I believe it was a link on the USB adapter page http://lists.apple.com/archives/scitech/2006/Jun/msg00073.html . Anyway, it worked great with my imac. I purchased an Icom 746 Pro and of course it has no rs232 port, only a stereo plug for data. I purchased the IOgear rs232 to USB cable on line to use with my mac. The people at HRO told me that instead of spending all the money for a level converter, that I should buy the IC-OPC-478 programming cable (it's like $30.00), cut the connector off the end away from the rs232 end, and solder on a stereo plug, making sure that the data wire is the plug tip and ground is the ring above it. I did this and my 746 works great with my imac and MLDX! I don't know if this helps or not but I hope it does.

The online lookup does work for QSL jpegs - but for some reason not at your location. This probably has something to do with your DirecWay proxy issue. The CD has a much smaller selection of jpegs and they are read from the disk. The subscription service reads them from the internet. To date the only people who have reported problems reading the jpegs from the internet are those using the DirecWay service. 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 dagro at dogparksoftware.com Wed Nov 8 17:15:32 2006 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Wed Nov 8 17:17:07 2006 Subject: [DogParkList] Notes from the skunkworks Message-ID: <3F652742-19D1-4DED-ABD1-F3CA3C254B70@dogparksoftware.com> The ve3vrw satellite gateway got a new hardware addition this week.

This is connected to the TS-2000 satellite radio and can be 'grabbed' by any of the computers in the shack via the bluetooth wireless connection to run MacDoppler, MacMemoriesManager or MacLoggerDX without the usual tangle of wires and connections. It's only been in service for a few days but already it is proving to be a lot easier on the knees than climbing under the tables to connect and disconnect RS-232 cables. I've tried it on the Intel Mac Pro and the older G4 Power PC on OSX. No extra drivers are required - you just use the OSX "Set up Bluetooth Device". Set the baud rate and set it to a slave device with the dip switches. It does require the supplied wall wart to be plugged in to supply power but the range will allow you to control your radio in one part of the house from your bluetooth equipped computer in another. 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 EZRhino at fastmovers.biz Thu Nov 9 23:52:28 2006 From: EZRhino at fastmovers.biz (EZ Rhino) Date: Thu Nov 9 23:52:34 2006 Subject: [DogParkList] random freq change?

I don't know how many of these ideas have been tried already, but I found it all very interesting and I thought I would pass it along. I have two transceivers connected to my Mac with separate USB to RS-232 adapters. To get them both adapters to work at the same time, I created new users under OS X System Preferences -> Accounts. and enabled Fast User Switching. Now I can run a separate copy of MLDX on each user's desktop, and switch back and forth very quickly between the two transceivers. I originally had both copies sharing a single log; which was placed in the "Shared" folder of the Users Directory. Both copies saw the log and read the log, but only one (apparently the first to access the log) could write to the database. My second idea was to have separate logs for each copy of MLDX. This works fine, and the only penalty that I saw was that I would have to keep track of my outgoing serial number (STXn) manually. Then, after the contest, I would be able to export from one log and import into the other. That was going to be my plan until today, when I realized that the other missing feature would be the inability to check for duplicates. That is a bit more significant, and for now is enough to scrap the plan. Still, I don't think it would take much to get this setup to work. The ideal way would be to allow multiple copies of MLDX to write to the database. I am not a programmer, but perhaps there could be a way to change access to R/W when the "Log QSO" or "Save" buttons are pushed, and revert to Read access afterwards. A second solution would be have the contest helper window access multiple log files. There may be some other benefit to that solution besides SO2R operation. At any rate, this has been fun! I hope to talk to some of you this weekend during the contest.

Some radios support the generation of CW in software (MLDX sends the commands and the radio generates the timing). Currently MLDX supports software CW in the following radios...

Here's the question: Does the MLDX keyer send an output to my iMac's sound card so I can hear the dits and dahs as it sends? I don't think it does. If it did, I could use the MLDX keyer to send code to the radio: the above mentioned project in QST takes the audio output from the computer's speaker output, and uses the audio to switch a relay on and off (which goes directly to the radio's key jack), thus bypassing the whole USB/serial port and cable dilemma. Pretty clever. Since MLDX doesn't send the code to my speakers, is there another Mac program anyone knows about that has an "audible" keyer?

There really is no dilemma, you can buy a USB/Serial adapter very cheap these days and make a DTR/RTS keying cable for next to nothing. http://www.qsl.net/wm2u/interface.html If you don't want to 'roll your own', microHAM makes interfaces that include the USB/Serial adapter the radio cabling and the CW DTR/RTS circuitry... 73 Don Agro VE3VRW D o g P a r k S o f t w a r e L t d . email: dagro at dogparksoftware.com www: http://www.dogparksoftware.com iChat AV:dogpark at mac.com From dagro at dogparksoftware.com Fri Dec 29 09:05:56 2006 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2006 09:05:56 -0500 Subject: [DogParkList] MacLoggerDX 4.2.8 released Message-ID: <8D0DA92B-3DE7-4864-B753-56B126B3B003@dogparksoftware.com> MacLoggerDX 4.2.8 released Dog Park Software is pleased to announce that version 4.2.8 of MacLoggerDX has been released and can be downloaded from: What's New in this version: * Fix for DirecWay proxy QRZ Online QSL jpegs * Better parsing of QRZ Online QSL JPEG's. * Open Port retry limit. * Added Band Decoder support for FT-2000 etc. * Added Ten-Tec RX350 Driver. * Added 56,000 baud for Ten-Tec Orion II --------------------------------------------------------- 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 using MapQuest, Google Maps or Google Earth. 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 and will even use Mail.app or Eudora to Email you if that rare DX location pops up on the DX Clusters. It 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.
