I wanted to solicit some advice on two fronts, the rotor controller basically for ease of use with MacDoppler and rotor reliability. My first thoughts were towards a Yaesu 5500 and maybe the PrimeTec controller or maybe the LVB tracker as it's less costly. I read a few reviews but not much was out there in general but especially on the PrimeTec... What are you using as a controller? would appreciate any comparisons pro's cons tips tricks you might have My biggest concern really is the Rotator. I am in a situation such that after installation, getting back to the roof for repairs would be rather difficult. So i am trying to identify the 'best' small/moderate sized rotator (az/el) as possible /practical. Will be turning a small M2 2m and 440 circular pol beam Not really sure how reliable the 5500 is for long term use. so if there was a 'better' more reliable and or longer lasting rotor out there i'd strongly consider it The only thing I thought of as a alternative was the AlphaSpid but comparing reviews I seem to come out about the same between it and the 5500 Since this is all new stuff and I am not finding the usual quality 'google' results /reviews I would greatly appreciate any help or experience /advice on this from someone that went down this road already and willing to share some first hand info. thanks very much grateful for any advice.

Message-ID: Hi all, Apologies if I missed discussion on this. I searched and couldn't find an exact match: I noticed today that when MLDX V5 imports my V4.3.8 log.dat, the seconds field of TimeOn and TimeOff for all log entries is set to '00', which is not what's in my V4 log.dat. I see this behavior with 5.09 and today's 5.10 beta41. I also noticed if I nuke my V5 sqlite file, export an ADI from V4 and import that into an empty V5, the seconds are all correct but certain fields like street and zip are missing. Is there some nuance I'm missing here, or perhaps a bug? FWIW, the first ~20 QSOs in my accurate V4 log have seconds of "00" b/ c they were transcribed from my portable paper log where I did not know the seconds. I was wondering if maybe the V5 importer saw these 00's in my first few entries and decided to use 00 for the rest (wild guess :) Thanks!

It's in the FAQ: "Some of my version QSL Sent/QSL Received fields do not count the same way in the awards panel as they did in Version 4 ? Version 4 considers "N" or blank in the "QSL Received" field unconfirmed. This was confusing. Version 5 considers only blank in the "QSL Received" field as unconfirmed. Version 5 also has a "Mark Selected Log Entries QSL" "Log" Menu item which will mark QSL Sent and/or QSL Received in bulk. Version 5 also has an "Unconfirmed" check box search criteria in the Log Panel to show all your Unconfirmed QSO's. For the purposes of Awards tracking and display color coding - any text at all in the "QSL Received" field indicates "Confirmed" To Change V4 "N" QSL Received fields to blank fields in V5: 1) Sort by "QSL Received" in the Log Panel. 2) Select all the "N" entries. 3) Select "Mark Selected Log Entries QSL" from the Log menu. 4) Check the "QSL Received" check box and leave the "QSL Received" text field blank. 5) Press the "Mark" button." 73 Don Agro VE3VRW From dagro at dogparksoftware.com Wed Jul 8 12:45:46 2009 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 12:45:46 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] V4->V5 resets seconds to :00?

No, I don't think the tables will be compatible. > If not, what would be the safest way to keep the two databases in > sync? I have one Mac, one PC and two shacks... I think ADIF import and export would likely be the only reliable way to do this. MacLoggerDX allows you to export only the records you have selected and there are a number of ways besides chronological to sort the log for selection and export. > I have also read on the website that multiple MLDXs can share the > same database, how do you set that? There is no specific prevision for record locking so I would not recommend that multiple users share the same sql log file. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From ml at iz1iva.net Fri Jul 10 04:02:08 2009 From: ml at iz1iva.net (Andrea Massucco IZ1IVA) Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:02:08 +0200 Subject: [DogParkList] V5 database sharing In-Reply-To: References: <296FD4D7-03A6-44E7-98F3-252E41055D28@iz1iva.net> Message-ID: <46DA7FFF-CFF4-4EA0-AB13-706DBCCFECD9@iz1iva.net> Il giorno 08/lug/09, alle ore 19:16, Don Agro ha scritto: > Hi Andrea, Hi Don!

The log is always current and does not ever need to be reread, the awards panels refresh every 10 seconds or so when they are visible but you can force an update by putting any character into one of the search fields and then cancelling the search. I'm not sure if that would be any quicker than waiting for the automatic refresh. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From ml at iz1iva.net Fri Jul 10 09:42:21 2009 From: ml at iz1iva.net (Andrea Massucco IZ1IVA) Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:42:21 +0200 Subject: [DogParkList] V5 database sharing In-Reply-To: References: <296FD4D7-03A6-44E7-98F3-252E41055D28@iz1iva.net> <46DA7FFF-CFF4-4EA0-AB13-706DBCCFECD9@iz1iva.net> Message-ID: <41825A46-9617-461E-9501-3400D8D7C513@iz1iva.net> Il giorno 10/lug/09, alle ore 13:16, Don Agro ha scritto: > The log is always current and does not ever need to be reread, the > awards panels refresh every 10 seconds or so when they are visible > but you can force an update by putting any character into one of the > search fields and then cancelling the search.

Yes, you select the confirmation ADIF file you received from eQSL or LoTW. If the entries match, the QSL Received field in your log will be set. I think a number of people have tested this out but it is a fairly new feature. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From rprather at mac.com Fri Jul 17 18:22:13 2009 From: rprather at mac.com (Rick Prather) Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:22:13 -0700 Subject: [DogParkList] "Confirm QSOs with ADIF File" In-Reply-To: <42A4A666-FF1B-40C0-9244-F6D8F13265B5@mac.com> References: <42A4A666-FF1B-40C0-9244-F6D8F13265B5@mac.com> Message-ID: Sounds like you are on the right track.

Maybe some explanation would be in order - I have worked hundreds of support cases with Joe Subich at microHAM USA over the last 6 to 8 years, and his attitude is "Ohh, you have a Mac, OK, lets see what we can do to get you up and running". He has a Mac and like dogpark, he doesn't stop until his customers are happy. Period. All the other hardware manufacturers (and I mean ALL) have had the attitude "Ohhh, you have a Mac - we don't support the Mac, good luck." They don't hate the Mac, they just aren't interested in supporting it. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From dagro at dogparksoftware.com Sat Jul 18 19:20:24 2009 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 19:20:24 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] WinKeyer USB ?

When you spend thousands of dollars on a radio and it doesn't work, they support it or you take it back. When you buy a USB peripheral which requires a software driver and it doesn't work; who do you call ? In a perfect world - the company you paid your hard earned money to. In this world, they email me. > I asked about WK support before but I guess its just not possible if > Don doesn't have one there. It's not impossible, I just don't want to support other people's hardware on the Mac when they can't or won't. microHAM sends me every new device they produce and have since day one - because they WANT Mac users to buy their hardware. They also make their engineering staff available to help solve Mac problems. > I would've thought that interfacing info would be forthcoming from > K1EL if it isn't already published on the web. The interfacing is not the problem. It's answering the emails when it doesn't work and the manufacturer says "Ohhh, a Mac, sorry, we don't support the Mac". One single configuration or driver problem can eat up days of time. Shouldn't the company that gets paid for that device spend the time to support it ? > I don't think he discriminates against any particular platforms (OSX > or other) since Maclogger Deluxe (rather than DX, but linked to > Don's website!) is already linked from their page which says which > software supports it :) It's not discrimination - he just has no interest in supporting his devices on the Mac - His web site says that it should be easy, but do you think they will reply to support emails from Mac users ? > BTW Don - Tnx for the recent updates for eQSL and the propagation > beacons - great stuff.

I think that is what he is referring to. The K1EL standalone devices are not supported on the Mac by K1El and consequently not supported in MacLoggerDX. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From g0dvj at amsat.org Sat Jul 18 19:58:30 2009 From: g0dvj at amsat.org (Jonathan G0DVJ) Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 00:58:30 +0100 Subject: [DogParkList] WinKeyer USB ?

When I have a USB peripheral that works fine with most of my apps but has a problem with one other app, I would contact the writer of that one app! Seems reasonable to me. After all, the hardware works. And the USB driver is the widely used FTDI driver. That works. But then I am just a user! But you are right Don, the way to avoid users contacting you is not to support that hardware at all.

MacDoppler updates the rotors once a second but only if the position has changed more than a degree. Adding a filter to make the rotors update less often (and thus less accurately) is a good idea, but the G5400 Rotors on the VE3VRW Satellite Gateway have been operating 24/7 for more than 6 years without a problem. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From ollie at ollietech.com Sun Jul 19 13:53:14 2009 From: ollie at ollietech.com (Ollie Eisman) Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 11:53:14 -0600 Subject: [DogParkList] MacDoppler rotor control In-Reply-To: References: <45B5CB27-DF7C-4B81-87B3-897D8A277ED6@ollietech.com> Message-ID: Don, That's very good to know that the rotors are so durable.

Thanks Don, attached is the ADI for the QSO from my log. In my real log, I've tried removing the existing "LOTW:20090719" from this entry before trying the "Confirm" and also tried "Confirm" while leaving it there, I can't get eQSL to show up either way (wasn't sure whether to expect append or replace, actually). I tried your steps of new log from eQSL ADI, confirm with same ADI, that works. But if I try that using my attached adi, it doesn't work. Thanks for looking, I'm squinting at it but don't know the voodoo! Adding a 00 seconds to the TIME_ON in the eQSL ADI didn't seem to be the trick. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Old saying: A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure. LoTW will declare a "match" for QSL purposes as long as the times are within (I believe) ten minutes of each other. But there's a difference in the operation of LoTW and eQSL. LoTW will only issue a QSL for QSOs that *you* upload to the system, and it will declare the time of the QSO in your QSL as the time you gave in your log. Thus, the times in your log and the time in the QSL will always match to the minute level. eQSL will issue a "card" even if you don't upload your log, as John Shuping noted: >Today I signed up for eQSL for the first time, and found I already >had a card waiting for me. I downloaded the ADI, and MLDX >(5.11b1{3,6}) is not liking it, saying "Confirmed 0 records". Obviously, the QSO time on that "card" is the time from the other station, which may or may not match the time in John's log. Even a few seconds difference can show up in the minutes (e.g., if one has 06:04:58 and the other has 06:05:01). One solution is to allow a QSL update in MLDX if the times match within a few minutes (i.e., the LoTW algorithm). -- -- Rich Seifert Networks and Communications Consulting rich at richseifert.com 21885 Bear Creek Way (408) 395-5700 Los Gatos, CA 95033 (408) 228-0803 FAX From dagro at dogparksoftware.com Mon Jul 20 14:10:48 2009 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:10:48 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] confirming eqsl.cc?

Possibly fixed length fields similar to the existing tables where users could populate the entities (US Counties, membership numbers, etc.) and track only by worked and qsl received status. Maybe a single USER drop- down to list and access them. It would seem that combining existing field data in the log (STATE + COUNTY = IL_LAKE for example) or a user defined string in the NOTES field (QCWA_12345) could be used to establish the entities and value to be tracked in a given table. Any number of awards could be tracked using essentially the same code used in WAS tracking.

I was able to "scare up" several stations that noticed my voice change from the "CQ" to me talking. It gave me a chance to PLUG MacLoggerDX on the air. Now it has just been a few hours since I promised I would quit bugging you Don but I think I have a suggestion that others might find valuable too. When using the Speech function MLDX sends the audio to whichever output sound device has been selected in the System Preferences panel. MLDX V4 worked this same way if I remember correctly. Since the DX Cluster Spoken Spots as well as all of the default system noises also go to the default output sound device it would be nice to be able to select a specific sound output device for the Keyer's Speech function. In my case I wish the audio to go to the microHam Digi Keyer (USB Audio Device) but others will want it to be directed toward whatever device they have connected to their radio for for audio output from cocoaModem, MultiScan SSTV or even fldigi. I will attempt to go back into a "no bugging" mode :) Both the CW and the Speech Keyer functions are really appreciated here.

The controller works just fine. But when using it when MLDX it does not work properly. The communications is fine and I can see the heading command successfully sent to the RC-1 but the rotor does not turn. Note: I am using the DCU1 setting in MLDX since this controller emulates this protocol for all rotor types. What MDS is saying about this: " NOTE: Some programs do not use the full DCU1 protocol. There are some programs which expect the rotor to turn by ONLY sending the AP1xxx command. The RC1 needs both the AP1 and the AM1 commands to begin movement. " Could it be that MLDX does not send the AM1 commands? I guess the Pathfinder does not require it.

I guess the > Pathfinder does not require it. No, the MacLoggerDX DCU1 driver sends "AP1nnn" where nnn is the heading and then sends "AM1". You can verify this by turning on "Debug Log" in the Rotor Prefs Panel and examining the Console Application output. You might want to try increasing the "Command Delay" value, some controllers have very slow processors and can't keep up with controlling the rotors and parsing commands at the same time. 73 Don Agro VE3VRW From dagro at dogparksoftware.com Sun Aug 9 07:12:41 2009 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 07:12:41 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] DCU1 Driver and MDS RC-1 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 9-Aug-09, at 6:45 AM, Don Agro wrote: > the MacLoggerDX DCU1 driver sends "AP1nnn" where nnn is the heading > and then sends "AM1".

How the radio will respond to the mode command without the filter width setting is rather confusing and depends on which Icom you are using. "Due to historical reasons the filter settings are somewhat confusing. The original CI-V protocol initially had only two settings for filter width: normal and narrow. When newer rigs came out, supporting three settings (wide, normal, narrow) the codes for the filter width had to be extended. This leads to some confusion about which value sets which filter, further aggravated by erroneous documentation (e.g. IC-R75)." We did experiment with sending the filter width command with the mode command in Version 5.07 Beta 3 but an unexpected complication was that some Icom radios do not report the filter width accurately causing more problems than it solved and the option was removed. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From jmeehan at vpizza.org Fri Aug 28 18:24:03 2009 From: jmeehan at vpizza.org (Jim Meehan) Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:24:03 -0700 Subject: [DogParkList] MLDX randomly turns off narrow filter?

No I don't think that would be too useful for most of our users but in the next Beta I will re-implement the "Send Icom Filter Width" command as an option in the Radio Prefs. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From dagro at dogparksoftware.com Sun Aug 30 11:28:35 2009 From: dagro at dogparksoftware.com (Don Agro) Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:28:35 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] DX Cluster Propagation Message-ID: <1C1F28B7-2B0A-4068-812B-F8B444C69F44@dogparksoftware.com> MacLoggerDX for Cocoa Version 5.13 Beta 1 has added a DX Cluster by Band 2D and 3D propagation feature.

I'm not sure whether it's related to that, but I've also noticed that the VUCC pane keeps track of grid squares worked on all bands, not just on VHF and up.

After that, if I click elsewhere (say, the "Call" field), frequency resets to "28.000".

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Good morning gentlemen, I have been using MLDX for a long time - always with the same MicroHam interface. It works well - certainly isn't broke - and at the time I purchased it was one of just a very few on the market. Don's policy is to not endorse or recommend any particular third party product. So I am curious what others are using that allows them to use all, or as many of the features with in MLDX as possible. For example, I would like to be able to control my station via the Internet, but there is no audio path from my computer to the rig. Indeed, when serving as net control for the Hurricane Watch Net, I would prefer to operate completely through my computer, even while here in the station, and use MLDX for complete station control - so what are others using as an interface? I have as a rig a IC-756Pro II and use either an Intel Based iMac, or an Intel Based MacBook Pro. The iMac is OS 10.5.8 and the MacBook Pro is 10.6.1. All comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.

If you have specific call checked and you have speech selected you get a speech alarm when there is an Auto Lookup in the cluster (Do you have Auto Lookup" enabled ?) All of the alarms require Auto Lookup to be enabled (or a manual lookup) since most of them require a look at your log and a lookup of the call to determine if the criteria match. If you have other alarms enabled you will get multiple speech alarms if they apply. 73 de VE3VRW Don Agro From marknaro56 at gmail.com Sun Sep 27 14:55:21 2009 From: marknaro56 at gmail.com (Mark Naro) Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:55:21 -0500 Subject: [DogParkList] (no subject) Message-ID: <7f0d9f4f0909271155i6e478f7eicfa68b9194c25a3b@mail.gmail.com> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

IF you know how to do xml and scripts etc you may be able to automate endicia process ... it is a pay software and unless you do a lot of envelops/and or stamps it may not be worth it for you but thought perhaps worth your taking a look and sharing. Using MLDX and Endicia I can log a contact, print a QSL card and print a envelop addressed and stamped from my printer in like 1 min. best of luck N2EHG On Sep 29, 2009, at 6:38 PM, Don Agro wrote: > http://dogparksoftware.com/mldxfc_faq.html > > "How do I print Labels ?" > > "MacLoggerDX has an 'Export Selected Log Entries to Address Book' > Log Menu command that will enable you to use Address Book's powerful > label printing capabilities." > > Here are several tutorials on how to print labels directly from the > Address Book... > > http://paininthetech.com/2008/12/22/printing-avery-mailing-labels-in-os-x > > http://www.techtalkpoint.com/articles/printing-labels-mailing-list-envelopes-in-mac-osx-with-address-book/ > > There are are a number of software utilities available for OS X that > facilitate envelope addressing.
