For software, I finally got around to upgrading my aging copy of MacLoggerDX to the 5.x release which has full Cocoa support. It’s a pretty cool little unit that does everything over USB - only one cable to hook up to your computer! It’s actually supported by uHAM and therefore supported by OSX software authors. (And I now have TWO Rigblasters I need to sell.)Īfter the West Mountain fiasco, I broke down and spent 2x as much on a microHAM USB Interface III. I wasted a better part of a weekend trying to get it to work and got nowhere fast, and I like to think I know a thing or three about *nix, serial, and USB. In other words, if you can’t get it to work with a third party driver, they’re not going to help you.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS USING THESE DRIVERS. What I missed was this on a different page of their site: “NOTE: WEST MOUNTAIN RADIO DOES NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORT MAC INSTALLATIONS.

When that third party solution stopped working due to driver conflicts when I switched to my G5 desktop, I upgraded to the West Mountain Rigblaster Data Jack plug & play because the very first line of the description says, “USB interface support for Mac (OS9,10), Linux, Windows (98SE – Vista 64)!”. I used a West Mountain Rigrunner Nomic with my old Powerbook using a USBSerial adapter and it kinda worked most of the time. When I say “%100 guaranteed” I mean an explicit statement that it the product is fully supported on the Mac by the manufacturer, not “it will work if you get drivers from a third party.”

Do not buy anything that is not %100 guaranteed to work with Mac OSX by the manufacturer.

As I loaf on the patio if I see an interesting spot on the iPad I can take a listen and decide if I can hear the station and decide if it's workable before I run back in to the ham shack.I have a nicely functioning OSX FT-897 setup and thought I’d document things to make it easier for others wanting to do this. It's great to be able to have the iPad app control MacLogger on the desktop and using Airfoil I set up audio so I can hear what the radio is hearing. Now that I can search for existing contacts and quickly be able to list previous QSO's with a tap of the "green" button the log is transformed in to a powerful tool Well, most of not all of my concerns have been addressed in version 1.07. I didn't think it was much of a log book program if you couldn't search previous contacts or even look at them without scrolling through the complete log. However, after downloading 1.06 I found the Cluster portion to be great but was very dissappointed in the Logging section. Latest version (1.07) is a major upgrade to the logging portionĪs a long time user of MacLoggerDX on the Mac I was excited about having some of that power in an iPad app. Great app that I enjoy using and would recommend to iPad using HAM’s. You do not need the desktop app to use the iPad version, though. The sync process is easy and well explained in his through help pages. A separate database is created that can be merged easily with the desktop version. It doesn’t merge files with the desktop files, which was probably done to prevent errors or may be a limitation of iTunes data sync.

The database is completely compatible with the Mac OS version of the program and sync’s through iTunes app document sharing. The iPad app is well designed, easy to use and is great for mobile or fixed base use. I was thrilled to see the iPad version of his logging software. He does frequent app updates and is continually adding features. He also provides great support through his Yahoo groups, usually answering questions within a day.


Don is a super developer and keeps his apps up-to-date. I’ve used Don’s MacLogger program on the Mac for over 10 years.
