HAVE DOGPARK SDR & MACLOGGERDX SOFTWARE
|
jwinner@...
Thanks very much for your info. I very much appreciate all the info I can get!
I am learning that to stay with the Mac side of Parallels I should stay with DogparkSDR and MacLoggerDX.
Unfortunately, at this time (live in Central Florida) I am spending my time watching Dorian move towards us. I have a 38' trawler on the St. John's River that will need a lot of attention along with my house that is 60 miles away.
Hopefully, Dorian will shift course and I can back to worrying about Ham Radio!
Again, thank you!

Don’t hesitate to ask questions when needed, there are many here to help you. As I say, I use the DXLab software on my Mac every day, and I’ll be happy to help you work out any difficulties you encounter. Just to qualify that, however, I’m not at all familiar with the Flex software and can’t do much there. There are a lot of users here, though, who can cover that area. 73, John K8AJS jbastin1@...

Hi Dave,
I do have a Mac but also run Parallels with Windows 10. I was under the impression I could run it? I am still learning and appreciate your info. I have DogparkSDR and Maclogger DX if that makes any difference? Right now I am really at the bottom of the ladder as far as learning this stuff. Thanks for that info!!!
73's &
Thank You!

I have been off the air for 22 years. I have a extra class licence and have been a Ham since 1964. My call sign is K4NHK. I hope you will allow me to become a member.

Great news Dave! I was really hoping you would say something like that. I really want to try digital (FT8) as I am in a HOA situation. I do have a Titan DX vertical that I can at least tilt it over so I don't draw too much attention. I was spoiled when I lived in South Florida as I had a 4 element Cubex Quad. I could basically work anywhere in the world with my Heathkit SB-220. I still have that 220 but I have upgraded it to sell and but at this point I can't fix it.
I know I am going to enjoy the Flex when I figure out all the jargon with computers!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments!

Pick one application, *scan* the reference documentation so that you understand its capabilities, and then use the step-by-step setup instructions accessible via "Getting Started with DXLab" to get basic operations -- controlling a radio, or logging a new QSO, or initiating a propagation forecast -- to work correctly. Then return to the reference documentation to setup any additional functionality you need beyond the basic functionality. When you have your first app working to your satisfaction, pick the next app. Rinse and repeat. You can proceed in any order you like, though I suspect that most ops start with Commander and then proceed to DXKeeper so they can log QSOs.

Thank you so much for the warm "Welcome back"!
Yes, there is a very steep learning curve and honestly, I am overwhelmed. I will try to take it day by day. I do feel very stupid to ask some of my questions as I am no computer whiz (UNDERSTATEMENT!!!)
Thanks for the info on what does what.
I am now in the middle of trying to figure out ports, port forwarding,etc. When I went to school and studied electronics it was a Hell of a lot easier. One day in class they introduced the transistor!
I was hoping that this group would answer some of my questions as novice as they may be?
Thank you again Dave,
John Winner
