I spent a little time trying various settings and nothing appears to help.
The FT-857 works fine via my original microHam USB interface (and it was
working fine via the DigiKeyer before I put the K3 on it).

Changing mode via the Mode drop down works every time, but generally,
choosing a line in the DX Clusters Panel and hitting Enter does not set the
mode first time with the K3. Same appears to be the case with the Bands
panel.
It's as if I send both a freq change and a Mode change means the mode change
gets missed. Generally, send a freq change within the same band is fine,
across bands is not.

I've tried lower baud rates and increased delay to 500 ms, also tried 2 stop
bits - nothing appears to change that.

I seem to be having a similar problem with my K3 (the FT-857 was fine).

If I have Auto-Tune set, quite often, the mode does not change when freq
does, but as long as the line is still highlighted in the DX-Cluster panel,
hitting 'Enter' then sets mode correctly. If I highlight a different line
and ht Enter (or double-click), same thing happens and another Enter fixes
it.

It looks like a race condition or perhaps my delay is too short or baud rate
to high (but other changes work fine).

I'd be interested if you find the same John. I don't have a problem with
Band Plans, and use the one that comes of the net.

I haven't reported my problem yet, one because I've only just switched to
the K3 and of course its really a K2 driver and two, because I haven't
exhausted all possible combos of connection config yet.

I thought I'd better go check for the latest version of MLDX and am now
using 4.3.3b6 (K3 support, thanks Don), but this does not appear to have
'fixed' this.
It appears to only be a problem when changing bands, and still doesn't set
the mode right, even if it the change of band did not involve a change of
mode.

Please enable the "Debug" check box in the "Prefs" Panel and click the  
"Radio VFO" checkbox off and on for a minute or so and send me the  
file it creates in the MacLoggerDX folder - it will be called  
something like "Sun, Feb 18, 2007.dbg".

Can you send me a screen shot of the "Prefs" Panel as well   
(<shift><command> 4 then choose the corners) ?

The log looks fine - no errors visible.

Setting the mode by frequency as we do in the DX Cluster panel, or the  
Bands Panel depends on your Band plan file which is likely OK since it  
works with the FT-857.

The mode command sent is the same command sent when you set mode alone  
but is sent just before the set frequency command.

My guess is that the radio has not finished processing the mode change  
when it receives the frequency change and simply discards the mode  
change command.

This may be fixed in future updates to the K3 firmware but in the  
meantime I have inserted a short delay after the mode change to see if  
that helps.

Please give version 4.3.3b7 a try and let me know if that helps.

MacLoggerDX version 4.3.3b10 seems to have fixed this problem with the  
K3 and should also fix the problem on any other radios like the FT-2000.
We have also enabled the CW-R and RTTY-R modes in the K3 driver.

I have in the past used Spark for function -> Apple script  execution.
I had a bad experience with a very early version of XKeys. However, Spark
appears to have stopped working and I always found it a complex,
non-intuitive (read non-mac like) application to use.

So I've just been trying latest version of XKeys and have to say, its far
simpler and easier to use. Ok, you cant have sets of keys per app, but the
sub-menus more or less give to that, and I wouldn't remember what all the
keys did anyway!

Well,

I'm trying to fill out a simple table like this for a club award:

(see below)

In case the formatting gets fubar'd through cyberspace, it is a table  
showing zones and countries worked by band.  MLDX can sort by band,  
or zone, or date but not all three.  This is only pertinent for  
2007.  I cannot manipulate the log table so it shows what I need!  I  
literally have to go through each band and count countries one by  
one, and hopefully not duplicate anything.  As you can see this is an  
exercise in futility and it's BS!  Can't the MLDX sort the log by  
band/country or band/zone?

Grrrrrrrrrr

Hi, Chris,

I had a similar issue when trying to send logs for a contest that  
required "plain text" format.  As Don mentioned, all you need to do is  
download the free utility from the MacLoggerDX web site.  This utility  
allows you to export your log into FileMaker.  Once there, it is  
trivial to create any sort of table or report you need.  I am far from  
expert at FileMaker but it was insanely easy to do!

Good luck and 73,

John, WA6L

I wrote an Applescript to take the current QSO from MacLoggerDX and  
send it to eQSL.   You can download it here:  http://homepage.mac.com/jmgraf/filechute/eQSL_MacloggerDX.zip

It is a little problematic in that I don't think that there is a way  
to get the frequency or band except from the radio (Don, please tell  
me if I am wrong).  What that means is that if you are using a radio  
that does not have rig control, this script will not work.  You must  
invoke the script before you change bands and before you move on to  
the next QSO.

I realize that this is not ideal but it is a start, and a work in  
progress.   I welcome anyone who wants to tweak this script.

LOTW is much harder to do.  As far as I can tell, the TQSL program for  
the Mac is not scriptable.  There may be ways to work around this, but  
it is definitely beyond my capability.

Now, what I think would be a very useful and more of a possibility is  
the ability to check your log against LOTW and mark the QSLs.  This  
should be possible, since you can download the QSL information  
directly from LOTW.   I haven't looked into it enough to figure out if  
this would be a scriptable task or not (perhaps using FileMaker?).   
But it is something in my ever-expanding to-do list.

That is correct. (Unless you enter the frequency manually, export to

Yes, I agree, getting QSL back from eSQL and LOTW and updating MLDX log
would be very useful.

Thanks for the script, that looks useful.

John,
	Thank you for writing this script. Not being a computer "techie",  
could you please tell me how to incorporate this script into  
MacLogger so that I could use it. I had heard from another ham that  
he had the capability of doing just this maneuver on a PC program and  
I thought to myself wouldn't that be great!

Sure!

The easiest way is to put this script in one of your script  
libraries.  Click on the Finder, and go to your home folder (the  
folder with the same name as your user account).  Then find the  
'Library' folder.  Within the Library folder is  a folder called  
'Scripts.'  Put the script in there.

Create a log entry in MacLoggerDX.  Now, you can click on the  
Applescript icon that should be in your menu bar.  It looks like a  
scroll.  Then from there, you can click on the script that you  
previously put in the folder, and it should execute.

Make sure you change the lines in the Applescript that have your eQSL  
username (call) and password.  Otherwise it won't work.

Let me know if you have any problems with this . . .

73,

John, WA6L

Hi there,

I am running MaxLoggerDX v.4.3.2 and I am looking for a field to give  
the frequency or the band that I use to the logbook. Is the only way  
to edit the entry after logging? I don't use a link to my K2 and cant  
use the remote vfo function.

Thanks a lot for ideas.

Hi Thomas, I believe what you want to do is to enter the freq that you've
set your rig to, either before, during or after your QSO, but before you
actually 'log' the QSO (using cmd-shift-l), and not programmatically (i.e.
not with a link from your K2)?

You should be able to enter the freq in the small input field to the right
of the main VFO display (that's the display above the slider). This field
may be labeled 'Telnet DX Spot' or 'Slider', depending upon how it was last
changed.
You should be able to click in that field and type the freq. The main VFO
display should 'echo' what you type.
The slider will also allow you to change the freq, but perhaps not so
convenient.

Have I understood your requirement correctly?

Hello John,
	The script worked very well. It loaded the QSO into eQSL, however it  
ends by bring the QRZ.com screen up on top with the station info you  
just worked. This is really not a problem, just an observation. I  
couldn't for the life of me find the script library in my computer,  
so I placed it in the documents file. I have a copy in the menu bar  
which I use. Another observation, when I start the script from the  
menu bar, it then brings up the script editor which you click on  
"run" to complete the logging into eQSL. Anyway, there are my  
observations and results. Thanks 73's Tom N7KCX

Thanks for the message -- I am glad that it worked!

Yes, when I created the script I got carried away and added that QRZ  
lookup to the script.  If you want to, you can get rid of that fairly  
easily.

What you want to do is open the script in script editor as you have  
been doing.  Then you will "comment out" three lines in the script.   
This means that you will add two dashes "--" in front of the lines.   
This has the effect to telling your computer to ignore the lines.

Here is what the end of the script will look like after you comment  
out the lines:

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	set target_URL to eQSLurl
	make new document at end of documents
	set URL of document 1 to target_URL
	-- close document 1
	
	--set target_URL to qrz_URL & item 1 of eQSLqso
	--make new document at end of documents
	--set URL of document 1 to target_URL
	
end tell

As you can see, I added the "--" to the last three lines before the  
"end tell"

Once you do this, you can hit the compile or the run button on top,  
then save your changes.  QRZ should no longer pop up.  The lines will  
remain in the script and if you (or someone you give the script to)  
wants to bring the functionality back, you just remove the "--" from  
the lines and compile again.

NOW -- about how to run these scripts.

There are several ways to do it, but probably the easiest is to put  
them in your scripts folder.   Click on the Finder, and go to your  
home folder (the folder with the same name as your user account).   
Then find the 'Library' folder.  Within the Library folder is  a  
folder called 'Scripts.'  Put the script in there.

Create a log entry in MacLoggerDX.  Now, you can click on the  
Applescript icon that should be in your menu bar.  It looks like a  
scroll.  Then from there, you can click on the script that you  
previously put in the folder, and it should execute.

Make sure you change the lines in the Applescript that have your eQSL  
username (call) and password.  Otherwise it won't work.

Good Luck and 73,

John

If you can't find the script library in your folder, there is another  
option.

You can click on the hard-drive icon that is on your desktop.  There  
should be a "Library" folder under there as well.  Click on the  
Library and look for the Scripts folder.  Put the macro there.  All  
the other instructions remain the same.

You do have to have it in one of the two scripts folders or you won't  
be able to click on it in the menu bar.  It will, as you mentioned,  
open up the script editor as instead.

Thanks to all that have replied!

Looks like I will be leaving SF around 8am Monday morning. Drive to  
LA, fix a dead power supply in a server at 1 Whilshire then back to SF.
It's not a job, it's an adventure!

Tues-Friday working the display at macworld.
Friday night dinner with Steve :) (Just kidding)

I will be taking along my VX7R for the ride and little dual band whip  
for the top of the rental car.

If anyone could give me some pointers on 2m/440 repeaters that will  
have good coverage along I5 that would be great.
A friend of mine pointed me to this site :

http://k5ehx.net/repeaters/qrepeater.php

http://k5ehx.net/repeaters/qrepeater.php?state=ca

I see a 444.570 and 444.425 that seems to have some real nice coverage.

Also looking forward to meeting a few of you for eye ball QSO's at the  
show!

MacLoggerDX 4.3.3 released

Dog Park Software is pleased to announce that version 4.3.3 of  
MacLoggerDX has been released and can be downloaded from:

<http://dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html>

What's New in this version:

* Elecraft K3 Driver.
* Fix for DXCC 9M
* Ten-Tec Argo V S-Meter fix.
* Yaesu FT-450 VFO Select fix.
* Yaesu FT-450 Power report fix.
* Added FJ St. Barthelemy.
* Band Plan digital modes fixed.
* TS-480 use data connector for software transmit.
* IC-703 Digital modes & report power setting.

---------------------------------------------------------

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.

Below is some updated info on a spotting cluster I use.  I assume it will need to be updated in an upcoming update in MLDX to continue working (?).  If not, tell me how to change it so I can continue accessing it.
Thanks

Fellow Club Members,

 

I have been hosting and running the CLX NC7J cluster for the last several years with the help of NG7M (Max George).  The qrq.com domain is going away and in the next few days you won't be able to connect to our cluster unless you update your telnet and web browser addresses in your Logging software/web browser.

 

We just changed domain names and need to have you change your telnet connects for NC7J.  Right now your incoming connects to NC7J are using nc7j.qrq.com as the host name:

 

i.e. you are connecting right now to nc7j.qrq.com

 

The new telnet connection is clx.nc7j.com 8000

 

The new web site address is http://www.nc7j.com/

 

The above addresses work right now.

 

It's been a long run with QRQ.COM. Time marches and life changes.  I am going to miss the really cool QRQ (it means send faster) address.

 

We fixed some problem:

 

The java script log-in now works better.  Remember it was given to us for free and the fellow is German (passwort=password). Once you connect using the popup box, a second popup box appears. click on connect again and you should be on the cluster.

 

The web interface has been updated so all the time frames have a connection to QRZ.COM.  In words if you click on a call it will give you the qrz.com lookup for that call.

 

We fixed a few broken links.

 

I have AR-Cluster software (and the license) so in a few weeks I will be hosting second cluster on nc7j.com. This one will use AR-Cluster software and will have the same call with different telnet and web addresses.

 

Hopefully our incoming spot connections will remain with us and we taken action have them change host names.

 

73

Message-ID: <C3B7B4C2.18599%g.berges@bergesetco.com>

Anyone using a MacBook Pro with MacLogger DX and Cocoa Modem for RTTY
reception and transmission without an interface box with success?
I have a ?Y? connector coming out of my 756 Pro III with one side to the
headset and the other to the line in on the Mac.
Using the Mac speakers to generate sound, activating the Pro III with a
footswitch and band set to USB.\
This is a hybrid of what I understood from the manual except that the Mac?s
microphone is not being used for the input device, being substituted by the
cable into the line in.
I can decode but no luck in getting anyone to reply if I?m even getting out
this contest weekend.
Lastly is MacLogger only used to log the contact IF I ever get one or is
there an interface with cocoa modem that I?m missing?
Thank you very much.

Don,

Above S9, the S-meter indication is still not correct for the Omni VII:

On transceiver 9+6  - MacLogger gives 9+7
  ,,            9+12 -  ,,             9+14
  ,,            9+18    ,,             9+21

So for every 6dB over S9, MacLogger indicates 1dB too much.

Please correct,

Thanks, pa0dtl

The S-Meter in MacLoggerDX is only as correct as the data it gets from  
the radio and like most radio S-Meters gives only a relative signal  
strength reading.

Yes, but still the program should indicate the same as the 
transceiver, but the calculation misses 1 for every 6dB over S9.

BTW On a Omni VII the signal strength is absolute, not relative. It's 
independent of pre-amp, RF gain, attenuator.

Hi Fokko,

Must disagree with you on your comment that signal strength is  
absolute.  The very definition of anything we articulate using  
Decibels is relative.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel
"The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses  
the magnitude of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity)  
relative to a specified or implied reference level."

You can find most every definition of Decibel (db) describes it a  
relative increase of measurement.
Interesting that the Omni VII meter is independent of pre-amp, RF  
gain, attenuator.

Question for you.  The Omni VII seems to have an true analog signal  
level meter on the front.  It goes from S9 to +20 to +40 and then +60.  
My digital meter (displayed analog way) on my digital TS-2000 is  
staged the same way (9,+20,+40,+60), as it is on many radios. I am  
curious how you able to determine these fine levels like S9+18 S+19  
etc..?  The ability to detail seems rather lost at these high levels.   
Just interested if there is digital display mode on main radio display  
separate from the analog meter on the front?

Looks like a great rig!

Cheers & 73,
Steve - VA3SPH

Colleagues,

I believe there is a misconception here. MacLoggerDX
communicates with these radios over a serial port. It
issues commands or queries and gets responses. MLDX
doesn't have access to the meters; it asks the radio to give
it a number (like the power output or the S-unit reading)
and MLDX simply reports it. How could it do otherwise?

If the little server inside the radio that answers and
responds to the requests presented by MLDX, or
indeed any other client that sends bytes across that
serial port, gives the "correct" data then that "correct"
data is displayed. If the query for "tell me the reading
on the S-meter right now" yields an answer from the
radio that is "incorrect", then how in the world could
MLDX (or indeed any client) know?

Don Argo can double-check to ensure he is processing
the data returned from the radio correctly. He cannot
force the radio to provide better answers.

So, in this case and for this discussion, the "decibels"
reading is absolute: it is a number presented by the
radio. (Yes, yes, dB is a power ratio--but it is presented
as a scalar and that scalar is presented by the radio
to MLDX which in turn shows it to us.)

If the Omni VII, or indeed any radio, is presenting
numbers you believe are inaccurate please contact
the radio vendor. It doesn't hurt to ask Don to double
check MLDX is behaving correctly, but given the answers
presented are "correct" most of the time, the odds are
any problem extant in this system isn't within MLDX.
The more likely culprit is the radio presenting
"incorrect" data.

My 2-cents.

-- Scott (NE1RD)

PS I say "correct" and "incorrect" in quotes because
it may possibly be that the number sent to MLDX is
correct and the one shown on the radio is not. As the
saying goes, "Man who has one watch knows what
time it is; man who has two is never really sure."

Yes, I know dB is relative. But as S9 is calibrated as 50uV over 50 
ohm, and the Omni VII S meter indicates the antenna voltage, it's not 
depending on pre-amps, etc., it's in a sense absolute with a dB 
antenna voltage indication.



>Question for you.  The Omni VII seems to have an true analog signal 
>level meter on the front.

No, the Omni VII is fully digital, the S-meter is on the LCD screen 
by numbers and bar.


>I am curious how you able to determine these fine levels like S9+18 S+19
>etc..?

Actually, internal it's in dBs, but to the screen it's in steps of 
6dB, that's why I talk about S9 + 12dB. It has nothing to do with 
accuracy, but just that 6dB is chosen as resolution.

Anyway, via CAT (MacLoggerDX), it returns in increments of 6dB, so 
it's just the calulation error of 1, that it shows 1 (dB) too much 
for each step above S9


So, it all has nothing to do with S-meter accuracy, but simply the 
calculation of internal values to the screen. It's just look stupid 
to see on the transceiver S9+12, and on MacLoggerDX S9+14 ;-)


And for Scott (NE1RD):

It's not that simple, as the returned values are numbers, it's NOT 
just a text string, it must be parsed to human readable text ;-)

well.
Got a new USB to ci-V cable and driver and then connected the MBPro to my

Took the cable off, reconnected the microHam to 756 Pro III and the MBPro

restarting the radio the program will not talk to the ProIII. Any ideas?
Thank you and 73.

Everything seems to be working well except a little problem with MLDX, or
maybe more accurately, a problem with the operator.

When I set the mode in MLDX to RTTY and then log a contact MLDX switches the
log to FSK and therefore switches my Omni to FSK.  How do I log these RTTY
QSO's without having to manually change the mode for each entry in the log

MLDX records the actual named mode used in your radio. You can change  
these for sub-bands by editing the Band_Plan folder files and placing  
a copy of the edited folder in your log folder but the modes must  
still be modes named and supported by your radio in the Mode popup.

On export to ADIF these modes are mapped into the appropriate modes  
supported by ADIF and DXCC by the adifmodes.dat file. For example FSK  
is translated to FSK31.

I assume you mean MacLoggerDX and not MacDoppler ? in either case they  
are true north not magnetic.
They are most often used to point an antenna which doesn't care about  
the earth's magnetic field :)

Yes, MacDoppler Pro.

The antenna doesn't care, but in this case, it's my friend using a  
magnetic compass, so we need to give him a proper reference.

Not really sure. I've installed the driver numerous times without  
difficulty. Are you able to get to the "uninstall" part of the  
installer? Perhaps try that first.

Then I'd suggest looking for components of the FTDI driver to remove  
by hand. Check ~/Library/Extensions, /Library/Extensions, and /Library/ 
Receipts.

<http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2007-December/008319.html>

All:
I have to agree with Franklin . .. . compasses are HARD.   Starting
with, it's difficult to get accurate variation & deviation information
(delta between local magnetic & true North) for land-based locations.

Mariners, for centuries, used a now obsolete method of navigation called
"celestial" -- which meant using sun, moon, stars, tables, and
calculations to determine location based on observations.

One of those techniques was known (at least 35 years ago, when I first
studied celestial Nav) as "Local apparent Noon".  You started with an
estimate of your latitude, determined a time offset from the center of
the time zone based on assumed (dead-reckoning) position, and then
started some time PRIOR.  Using a sextant, you would start "swinging"
the sun, and click a stopwatch (synchronized to WWV) at the highest
elevation of sun.  You have now determined the time when the sun's
elevation is highest, or Local Apparent Noon.  From that, you could
determine longitude, and latitude using other techniques.

This process lends itself nicely to reverse engineering as follows:
1.  Using your handy GPS, determine the most precise coordinates for
your tower/antenna.
2.  Synchronize your laptop or computer clock with any of the internet
time servers.
3.  Synchronize your watch with the laptop/computer.
4.  Enter the pre-determined coordinates into your favorite tracking
program (InstantTrack, Nova, SATPC32 . . . .)
5.  Using the "fast forward" feature of that tracking program, move
until you get sun azimuth of 180 degrees.  This should coincide with
maximum elevation.
6.  Write down the time of max elevation/180 degree azimuth.
7.  Stand "north" of your tower/antenna at about that time, with a stick
or other marker.
8.  When your watch indicates the appointed time, put the stick in the
ground at the far extent of the shadow from your antenna/tower.
9.  You just marked true North at your location.

Obviously the taller your antenna, and longer your shadow, the more
accurate your marking will be.  For any reasonable antenna height, this
will be well within the accuracy of any reasonable amateur antenna  
system.

I have done this, and it matched PRECISELY with the direction determined
using (difficult to determine) local variation and deviation vs.
magnetic.  I had the luxury of an open field, so suspect very little
interference to the magnetic compass from "local" effects.

Frankly, I find the celestial method easier, and more repeatable,
particularly at Field Day sites, etc.

Good luck & 73,
Jim

After all installed, first symptom something was not well is that my

indicated and address to 58h. It started working again like before. Went to
MacLogger and changed the setting in the panel to the same CI-V address and
baud rate but it will not communicate with the ProIII anymore. This again
must be a real simple solution that is just beyond me. Any help would be
more than appreciated... Again! 73

I finally got around to installing this version yesterday. So of  
course I had to run it to make sure things were working. Knowing that  
it would complain if the radio wasn't turned on, I fired up the power  
supply and trusty TS-2000. It was already set to 14.150 and there was  
nothing but static. I wanted to hear something to be sure it was  
working fine so I started it scanning up the band. It didn't take  
long for me to hear a voice and lock it in at 14.160. It was a nice  
clear voice calling CQ. I looked up the callsign and saw it was a ham  
in Mississippi. I scratched my head ... a quick look the log  
confirmed that I've yet to work Mississippi ... so I worked him. We  
spent about 15-20 minutes gabbing (and discovering a number of shared  
connections in life, i.e. both having sons who live in NH, etc). And  
all that because MLDX and an upgrade.

Anyway, another fine release. Keep up the great work.

got it right (he had no K3 to test with) and released the Beta to the Web

Ok, so I don't think it was a weekend :-)

Hi Gustavo,

  I Have a problem MacLogger DX does not  work with my Icom 746  
anymore. Has been working for years.
Changes made trying to find the problem.
! Had the Icom serviced at Icon service replaced the Ci-V drive  
transistors.
2. Replaced the USB CI-V interface with Black Cat Systems  USB CI-V  
Interface 1 Port. and their software driver.
the BCS Icom OSX software that checks the Computer to Icom interface  
checks Reads Freq. and Mode and can change Freq. & Mode from the  
computer.


I am using a Mac Power Book G4, OSX Leopard and have tried  
MacLoggerDX  V 4.2.8 , V 4.3.3 & v 4.3.4b1

What do I try next?

Gerry

Please enable the "Debug" check box in the "Prefs" Panel and click the  
"Radio VFO" checkbox off and on for a minute or so and send me the  
file it creates in the MacLoggerDX folder - it will be called  
something like "Sun, Feb 18, 2007.dbg".

Can you send me a screen shot of the "Prefs" Panel as well   
(<shift><command> 4 then choose the corners) ?

Please send the above to me directly - not to the list.

Thanks,

By the way, you can type Command-Shift-4, the hit the spacebar, and  
then click on the window you want, and it'll get the whole window  
without you having to marquee-select it.

I was under the impression that your IC-7000 and your Icom 756 Pro III  
were working now, is there still a problem ?

Just a comment here - I notice that all the various USB-Serial interfaces,
including microHAM etc require the latest drivers for Intel Macs - that's
generally FTDI and Prolific.

First step in a comms failure involving USB is to check drivers.

Even if a driver came with the kit (like the Elecraft KUSB that is only a
few months old and Prolific chip), go check for a later driver.
And recheck, they get updated quite often.

I was able to work Ducie Island on CW because of MacloggerDX.

This past week I found myself home, up and awake early in the morning, and
listening to 40 meters, LSB.  I was surprised to hear the Ducie Island
Dxpedition begging for contacts.  I worked them split on the first call.
Then I looked in the MacLoggerDX DXCluster tool and found that they were on
80 meters CW.  I haven't had a Morse Code key plugged in to my rig for a
number of years.  However, with MacLoggerDX, I was able to do a CW exchange.
Later, I worked Ducie Island on 20, 15, and 12 meters, SSB.  Still later I
found them on 10 meters, but again, CW only.  Again I was able to work them
using MacLoggerDX.

I credit MacLoggerDX for my VP6 contacts, and especially for the CW
contacts.  I would not have done it, if not for MacLoggerDX.

Don't forget to log VP6DX as "VP6DX-D", for the Ducie Island dxpedition.

I hadn't realised I needed to do that, so what difference does it make, I
assume the -D is not included in an ADIF (I've already upload mine to eQSL &

So, picking up that Terrence did not know to do that either - how do we
figure out that sort of thing?
How do I know that certain calls need a 'little bit more'?

Some calls are ambiguous and need a suffix which is stripped out of  
the ADIF.

<http://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX/Manual/Pages/controlwindow.html 
 >

"Overlapping DXCC Identities and Call Suffixes"

Other calls are special issue and are included in the dxpedition.dat  
file which is updated on our server and updated in your local program  
with "Update Internet Files"

For example, today I added "5J0E" to the dxpedition file which would  
have logged as Columbia but now logs as San Andreas Island.

Hmm,  I went looking for VP6DX-D and found comments on VP6DXD and VP6DX/D -
but no explanation as to why the "D" was needed.

Yes, and thanks.

I thought it might be a requirement of the Dxpedition - but see now that it
is needed to separate contacts within MacLoggerDX for better tracking of
countries worked (DXCC IDs).

Yes, very elegant.

Guys-

I just worked TO5A in Martinique; MLDX says the prefix for Martinique  
is FM, not TO.  Is there something wrong with his call, or does MLDX  
need an update, or should I put FM/TO5A in the log?

Log it as "TO5A-M"

Some calls are ambiguous and need a suffix which is stripped out of  
the ADIF.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

In MLDX when I do a LOOKUP of a call or LOG a contact the UTC field  
displays the time in 12 hour format with AM or PM appended.  I cannot  
figure out how or why this is happening. It should be 24 hour format.

I loaded MLDX on my wife's iMac (also running Leopard) and it does the  
same thing. Her iMac has virtually no 3rd party software loaded so  
it's not some other software interacting.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

It's not in the plist file, there is very little in there, but it might be
in the Settings file which is binary and I can't read it. I would guess
there is a binary settings file to support Mac OS 9, which didn't have
plists.

THe problem is accessing LoTW to read back - uploading is no problem and
take me about 5 mins from picking the entries in MLDX to having them loaded
in LoTW. I've found I get back QSLs slowly enough, I just find them in MLDX
and and update.

eQSL is even easier :-)
And someone produced an Apple script to log QSLs directly from MLDX into
eQSL.

I do both at the same time to make it slightly quicker and so I don't
forget.


A tip for anyone using cards, eQSL and LoTW - I mark my QSLS & QSLR fields
in MLDX as follows:
e - sent/received to/from eQSL
l - sent/received to/from L0TW
m - emailed
b - bureau
d - direct
I - ignore (I set QSLR contest entries to this where I don't expect a card,
but not the DX ones where I hope I'll get one).

so most of my QSLS fields are  'el'

I'm a new contester after 37 years licensed! Just entered the ARRL SSB

tried to open the window MacLoggerDX shut down.

I've tried this on 2 iMacs and a MacBook and they all have this problem.

Don Agro has not been able to replicate it. Has anyone in this group  
had this problem. Has anyone used the Contest Helper successfully?

The simplest thing is to have cocoaModem tell MLDX to key the radio.
Set cocoaModem's PTT popup to "MacLoggerDX" in the CW Config /Transmit  
tab.

When you push the "Transmit" button in cocoaModem, it will tell  
MacLoggerDX to key the PTT using whatever method is selected in the  
MacLoggerDX Keyer dialog.

Hi David,
   If you can copy the group or me personally with you setup.  
Including your type of radios, interfaces including what driver with  
which interface and do you have CocoaModem or any other software that  
is accessing USB ports. What exactly are you doing? Are you strictly  
one radio connected to one computer. Are you cascading any radios or  
interfaces.
   I've found MacLogger DX works best with one radio and one computer.  
This does not mean that there are not other possibilities you can try  
but it may go past the original scope of the program.
Some tools that I use when trouble shooting these issues is  Activity  
Monitor in the Utilities section of APPS.  It will show you any  
problems by showing how the processor is being used. Some of the add  
on stuff for the OSX is not built very well. Although you can't say  
that about Don Argo's. My problems always came along when I started to  
go outside the scope of the program.
   So send me some info about your setup. Even look at your Activity  
Monitor as you start programs. You can always tell the good behaviors  
by their low processor usage.
Be specific, lots of detail. How is you're cabling to the computer,  
radio and interfaces?

Best 73,
Mike

I'm not sure what information I can add.

The problem with Contest Helper shutting down MLDX appears with NO  
radio attached to the computer, so that is not an issue.

It appears on 3 different computers: 2 iMacs and a MacBook (all  
running 10.5.2).

It would be hard to give a list of 3rd party software loaded because  
there is so much and there are 3 machines.

The best I can do at the moment is attach a crash log. I can't  
interpret it but maybe someone out there can!

Thanks all...

Yes, it is definitely tied to Contest Helper. MLDX can be open for  
minutes or hours, just fine, and has never crashed until I try to use  
CH.

How long had MLDX been open before this crash occurred?

I used Contest Helper for the last two contests with rig hooked up and not
hooked up and had no issues either way.

Hi,

I just looked up TX5C (soon to be on the air from Clipperton). Next to  
French Polynesia it showed the DXPedition indication.

When I went to look up another call, DXPedition did not clear.

Anyone else have this, or is it just my strange setup?

Only strange thing common among the 3 macs is a USB-Serial Converter  
software to connect to the radios, but that isn't plugged in when the  
problem occurs. Of course the drivers are loaded...

Actually it has been two programs.. the production version and the  
beta you had me try.

Also, someone suggested a safe start. Interestingly none of my 3 macs  
can safe start. They all hang on the gray screen and the rotating  
gear. I have to power down and reboot... so something is obviously  
wrong there. Haven't had a chance to talk to Apple yet.

For anyone else trying to get their system time (and thus the time in  
the MLDX UTC box) to display in 24 hour format when that is not the  
default for your country...

1) Go to your International/Formats/Times and press the Time  
"Customize" button.
2) Delete the AM/PM Time element and the Before Noon: and After Noon  
"AM" "PM" text and edit the hours time element to be 0-23 instead of  
1-12 for Short Time, Medium Time, Long Time and Full Time in the  
"Show" popup.
3) Select OK and quit the International System Prefs.

I believe someone on the cocoaModem list may have intimated that their  
MLDX is crashing often?
I've got a similar crash problem at present and Don is working very  
hard to identify and resolve it (well it looks like a QT issue). This  
appears to be just this Mac, MLDX on my G4 was no problem.

Could anyone whose MLDX crashes often (~ 24 hrs) please get in touch,  
off list is fine. I'd like to try to correlate the configs.

Sorry for cross-post, but the more info the better

Message-ID: <47525a780803141208re09688dnbb2b6d75b81a282f@mail.gmail.com>

Hello, all!

I'm a brand new ham, hoping to use my IC-718 with MacDXLogger.  I liked the
software so much from the screenshots that I resurrected my old Mac Mini to
run it on.  However,before I plunk down the money for the registered version
(which I have every intention of doing if I can make this work), I need it
to interface with my 718 in the demo mode.

My 718 came with a USB connector rather than the CT-17 connector mentioned
on the website.  Since that doesn't connect to the RS-232 port on my Mini,
no port connection for the USB connection to the radio is showing up in the
preferences panel.  So essentially yes, I did RTFM.  And I still couldn't
make it work.

Any guidance here?  I'm not interested or capable of brewing my own cable --
I'm instead looking for what it would take to make what I have work together
properly.  Any input is deeply appreciated.

The Mini does not have an RS-232 port, you plug a USB/Serial adapter  
into the Mini USB port and then connect the CT-17 to the USB/Serial  
adapter.

You need a USB/Serial adapter AND a CT-17 or you can use a Black Cat  
System or microHAM device that combines a USB/Serial adapter with a  
CI-V interface.

Pretty sure Don has fixed it in 4.3.4b8 (in fact in b7, but get b8)
Been running a few days without problems.

I would advise everyone to upgrade to the latest version - I know it  
say beta, but Don's betas are more stable that a lot of other folks  
production releases!

I'd also point out that software, especially Don's, should not crash  
and if it does, you need to let the author know - he can't fix what he  
doesn't know about. I understand there is often a reluctance to  
contact the author of software and one often thinks, 'nah! this must  
be me' - but if you installed it correctly, crashes are not likely to  
be you. First thing is always to go try the very latest version - MLDX

Wow, Don't been busy.

On his suggestion a day or so ago I just downloaded b6 which seemed to  
fix my daily crash and already he is up to b8?

Installing now.

i have worked up a apple script that opens tqsl and signs my log and

Great - if you put the script in one of the standard places and enable  
the 'scroll' menu icon on the menu bar (use the AppleScript Utility in  
the AppleScript directory in Applications), you can pick apple scripts  
from there.

This is good, I was thinking of doing this, you've saved me a load of  
time.

sorry, I don't have a script to export a selected part of the log as  
ADIF, but should be quite doable

Here's a strange one. I've been entering old paper data into MLDX and  
found that some pre-2000 QSO's show up fine in the log, but when I try  
to generate a QSL the date is in the 1940's! See attached jpg.

The ADIF file generated for this QSO has the correct QSO-Date.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just testing this... OSX 10.4.11 on MacBookPro using Keyspan USB  
adaptor which is identified on the USB bus.  However, only the  
bluetooth ports show up in MMM so I can't talk to the FT-897, it  
reports "Radio Not Found".

Any ideas what's wrong with the setup?

The correct driver needs to be loaded.

The entry in the System Profiler/Hardware/USB/ section only means  
that the device is plugged in.
The correct driver also needs to show up in the /Software/Extensions/.

Latest Keyspan drivers are here...

To edit the date and time select the "Date UTC" field in the log  
record you want to edit (it displays in ADIF format - yyyymmdd hhmmss).

Edit the date and time in the "Edit" field at the bottom which  
displays in the format chosen in your System Prefs.

The date in the QSLPanel should be formatted the same as the one in  
the Log Panel "Edit" field.

Using "3/18/1982" instead of "3/18/82" in the Edit field enters the  
correct date in the Log in ADIF format but there does seem to be a  
problem with the QSL Panel for dates prior to 1991.

I'll have a look at it. I guess some people are as slow at QSL'ing as  
I am... (2008 - 1990 = 18 years :)

OK thanks for the link.  Now installed.  MMM now reports two extra  
ports:

KeySerial1
USA19H1d1P1.1

But MMM still reports "Radio Not Found" on either of these ports.   
These are my settings:

MMM:
DTR on
RTS on
Baud 9600

FT-897:

Mem 019: Cat Rate 9600 bps

OK thanks.  Now installed, but I'm none the wiser with this  
software.  It just lists two extra ports:

[KeySerial1]
[USA19H1d1P1.1]

But if I open the debug panel, the "SetDebug", "events" and "Get  
Status" buttons are greyed out.

There's also a slight anomaly in that the Keyspan P/N is USA-19HS,  
yet both the Mac System Profiler & Keyspan Serial Assistant report it  
as being USA-19H which isn't a listed P/N on the keyspan site, so I  
just hope it's correctly identified.

Are you running a CT-62 between the Keyspan and the FT-897 ?

Please run the Mac console app, Run MMM and check the "Log" checkbox.  
Press the button to the left of the radio picture which will attempt  
to read memories from the radio into the list. (You can cancel after  
the first dozen or so). Paste the console output into an email.

Can you also send me a screenshot of the MacMemoriesManager Window ?

Jamie,

My Mac also reports in System Profiler that it is a "USA-19H" but the  
unit says "USA-19HS" on it.

Works fine.

It is also normal for it to list both:

> [USA19H1d1P1.1]

You can select either one.

The log shows nothing coming back from the radio - either a USB/ 
Serial adapter or cable issue.

Yes, the CT-62 CAT Interface cable.  I bought this in Mar 2004.  I  
did successfully hook up the radio then, but was using a G4.  It's  
just I've been off-air for 3 years due to disability issues, so I'm

Hi Don,

This morning, the QRZ.com feature on MacLoggerDX stopped working.  I  
emailed QRZ.com about it.  Just wanted to make sure it wasn't  
something wrong with my MacLoggerDX.
I just changed my password for QRZ.com.

John,

Mine also quit after I installed b8.  But, after I quit MLDX and  
restarted it came back and has been working fine, including this

If there is a network problem or QRZ is unreachable for any reason,  
MacLoggerDX will turn it off after 10 failed attempts. MLDX posts an  
alert but it often goes unnoticed if it is running unattended.

MacLoggerDX 4.3.4 released

Dog Park Software is pleased to announce that version 4.3.4 of  
MacLoggerDX has been released and can be downloaded from:

<http://dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html>

What's New in this version:

* Added Kenwood TS-60 Driver.
* Added Icom IC-718 S-Meter, Audio and Squelch support.
* Fixed intermittent crash on Intel iMacs.
* Added Icom IC-7700 Driver.

---------------------------------------------------------

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.

Hi:

Just got an Icom IC-7000 and switch to Mac with a MacBook 2 GHz Intel

With this hardware setup and DogPark Software will be ok to simple USB

Is it possible to have a "clear" button on the logging area that would  
clear the fields that get filled in with a lookup? If I do a lookup,  
and then want to enter a call manually without a lookup, I have quite  
a few fields to clear manually... Just a thought...

Is MacDoppler able to set both the transmit & receive frequency on a  
FT-857D? I feel like I am setting something up incorrectly.  I am able  
to get it to update my receive freq but not my transmit.  Does anyone  
have any experience with this or can give me any sugestions.


Thanks

Hi:

I have an Icom IC-7000, MAC OSX 10.5.2, MacLoggerDX and the microKEYER  
II from microHAM.

I download from microHAM their MAC OS drivers.

Has anyone setup them together that could give some hints ?
Any help will be appreciate it, thank you.

I am not 100% convinced that this question belongs here, as opposed to  
the microHam or K3 forums, but it is a good place to start.

Until recently, I was using MLDX with my K2 and a microKeyer.   
Everything worked well, regardless of the mode.

Now I have a K3.  I did a "fork-lift" upgrade from the K2 to the K3,  
using all the same connectors, cable, and equipment.

Almost everything works.  However, I cannot get the system to enable  
PTT when using SSB.  The relay clicks in the microKeyer when I hit the  
mic button, but there is no transmit light and of course, nothing  
going out.  I tried every combination of configurations for the  
microKeyer in MLDX (AAA, BBB, etc.) but no change.

Why I think that this may be a MLDX issue is that I can open a Windows  
session (using Parallels) and without changing any cabling or any  
settings on the K3, it works fine.  With N1MM for example, I get PTT  
and power out by just hitting the mic button.

So, does anyone have any ideas?  I would appreciate some help.  In the  
meantime I can bypass the microKeyer and go directly to the front  
microphone connector, but what is the fun in that?  :-)

Thanks and 73,

John, WA6L

Presumably you have changed the MLDX driver to be K3 instead of K2 -  
check the DTR & RTS settings, the baud and delay etc, just in case  
they changed somehow.
Other than that, I don't know what to suggest

MacLoggerDX doesn't have any way to inhibit PTT that I can think of.

Is there a setting in the K3 menus that enables/disables PTT from the  
Mic jack and/or the ACC jack ?

You might want to ask microHAM if there is anything you have to do  
with the microKEYER or it's cables when moving from the K2 to the K3.

well, different cable for K3 - assume that has been considered

And that is different from a Clear menu command and keyboard  
equivalent in what important way ? - except for being faster :)
<http://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX/Manual/Pages/controlwindow.html

Fast Keyboard Logging for Contesters:

	? Enter call.
	? Hit return (this does a lookup).
	? One <tab> takes you to SRX numeric.
	? Hit <shift><command> L this logs the call and highlights call text.  
STX auto-increments (set in Prefs Panel).
	? <command> K clears all the fields and repositions the cursor to the  
Call Sign field. - Ready for 1 again.
	? <shift><command> V returns focus to the VFO so that arrow keys or  
PowerMate key sequences can be used to tune VFO.
	? Power, RST Sent, and RST Received fields are remembered across  
sessions and not cleared since they are hand entered and not found in  
a look up.

	? If you are planning to use Cab-Converter to create a Cabrillo file  
after a contest where they want a serial number, you would add that in  
SRXn and check the the box "inc STX" (auto-increment) under the  
logging box in the Prefs Panel. This would start the serial number of  
the log at 00001 and add a new number automatically with each new QSO.  
You would add the received serial number in theSRXn box. When  
receiving other info for contests, such as, Power, that would go in  
the "srx" box. The three areas that are usually needed for contest  
are: "SRXn/STXn", "srx/stx", and "RST". In the major ARRL & CQ  
contests all the info needed is contained in these boxes. Even though  
you add "pwr" and already know you state in your MLDX info and in Cab- 
Converter, you still need to add these in the correct boxes.
