Maclogger Rocks !

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I am using MacLoggerDX3.9.8.with a Dual G-5 and Icom 756. Both the program and the support have surpased all my needs and expectations. This is a very intuitive program , so no need to be going back to manual much. Don Agro the owner is quick to answer any questions and any problems one might encounter. Version upgrades are free within a reasonable amount of time(not sure exactly , but I have purchsed only one or two upgrades in the last few years (while I have downloadeed many version upgrades in the same time period.FYI -my pal at a large ham radio store tells me he is seeing many hams moving over to macs these days. So try it out and purchase with confidence that you are really getting a great value. We Mac people are really lucky to have a guy like Don Agro programming for our needs.Regards to all. KG4USN

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The best thing about Maclogger is that it allowed me to give my PC the big heave-ho into the trash can, and put a proper computer in the shack (G5 dual processor). The program is very slick and professional - it could have come from Apple the way it looks and feels. All the features I need for casual operating and award chasing are in there. I don't do any contesting, so I can't comment on that side of it. The dx cluster interface is particularly good. It interfaces to all the radios in my shack, including a JRC transceiver which most of the other programs don't support very well. Very easy to use - I never have to look in the manual, its all very logical. Major plus point - it has never crashed or trashed my qso log. Support is really good - there are new releases all the time, and Don Agro, the author, is good at adding special features for you if they add to the general usefulness. Like other users, I've had Don send me a feature I wanted within a day or two. Highly recommended.

It infact it gives wonderful control to a HAM radio operator and actually I used previously as a SWL with my AOR AR7030. Volume control? Really serious about this? When I am fine tuning for my Shortwave listening I want to use the control on the radio. This is how you measure quality of the software/support? It's a logging program with abiltiy to control many HAM radio's! Start listen to HAM band and use the program to logging the contacts you here. Then "maybe" you apprecate more. Giving more stars here because this seems to be a misguided troll as best.
It's not all that...

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Very disappointing. Spartan feature set for SWL and only the most basic radio control capabilities. It really pales in comparison with what's available on the PC side. Granted it's for DX logging, but I would have expected rudimentary support for broadcast schedules and the like. Radio control for the ICOM R75 is laughable, and that's being kind - you can tune to a frequency and nothing else, not even adjust the volume. May be worth it if you're a diehard ham, but definitely not just for SWL. Look at Shortwave Listeners' Guide on the PC for how it should be done (and free).

MacLoggerDX is clearly one of those elegant and sophisticated programs that validate why we went Macintosh in the first place. I am an experienced HAM of 43 years and I seem to have gotten real spoiled in my old age, and MacLoggerDX spoils me even more. It is a joy to use. Straightforward and intuitive, it is a masterpiece of thoughtful and useful features. It has all the functionality an active HAM can imagine, must less utilize. And after nine months of actively using MacLoggerDX, I am still discovering hidden treasures. And there is so much more than just the product. MacLoggerDX offers customer service almost unheard of in business today, especially considering that MacLoggerDX is a very sophisticated program. And as good as their customer support is, staying on top of rapidly changing technology and conditions is a major challenge few other companies can equal. MacLoggerDX accomplishes that professionally as well. Overall, I can recommended MacLoggerDX without reservation and consider it a very rare value in a highly competitive market. 73, Ted N7QY
terrific app, incredible support!

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />As a Mac user since 1984 but a computer user since the late 60's I was pretty used to dealing with DOS and Windows but so much preferred Mac - I hated that "fact" that I was stuck with Windows clunk software for my ham radio hobby. After weeks of struggling through Windows XP installs, uninstalls, reinstalls, all sorts of Windows ham radio logging and contesting application installs and uninstalls I was lucky enough to stumble onto MacLoggerDX!!!! MacLoggerDX does just about everything you could want, it does it gracefully and aesthetically besides, just like most things Mac OS X. None of those weird boxy Windows screens and impossible to remember or decipher codes to do the most basic operations. It's all there on the menus and panels! Best of all, its like the weather in New England - if you don't like it, wait 5 minutes... if there's anything you might wish MLDX might do, Don (the developer) is liable to respond to your suggestion with an update featuring your idea within minutes.Far and away the most reponsive support I've ever seen. The logging and mapping and dx cluster has completely changed and improved the whole ham radio experience - I see some callsign I don't recognize on a dxcluster, the radio automatically tunes to that frequency, the Mac screen tells me the country, name, details about that ham operator anywhere in the world, even shows me where in the world he is on a world map! If I decide to work him I have everything I need to get a jump on the crowd, and if he comes back, one button click records the entire qso, all the info including my notes, and even prints and tracks qsl's! Finally that windows laptop is off the desk and no more pain! Thanks MacLoggerDX...
