[DogParkList] New (prospective) user and my IC-718

[Douglas R. Briggs]

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.

There's plenty of money out there. They print more of it every day. But that
ticket? There are only five of them in the world, and that's all there's
ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as
money. Are you a dummy?
