MACLOGGERDX RADIO INSTALL
Actually doing a fresh install on a Windows machine to set up a working remote digital station is a dawdle when contrasted to the present state of the art getting going on macOS. I am very certain that the present smattering of scattered incomplete and out of date directions would not help the average iMac user get things running. I’m sure given enough dedicated time I could get things closer to working or maybe just be out another couple hours. Couldn’t get xDAX or xCAT to function, most likely as some of the complicated installation steps are not consistent in later versions of macOS. Current versions of SoundSiphon have a revamped GUI and have apparently renamed the Virtual Output while dropped direct access to the output side. To make these contacts I use a software called Fldigi. In this case, in fact, we will not pick up the IF signal because this radio has such. The operations to be carried out are really very simple, it is sufficient to obtain from its wiring diagram the information on the points where to take the RF signals. I mean real conversations using modes such as Olivia, Contestia, Domino, PSK31, etc. Our buffer interface named IFace can be used to add an SDR panadapter to the Kenwood TS-870S.


Some of the recommended software to handle the audio and control side is sketchy. One of my favorite activities on the radio is making contacts using digital modes. Have needed to use SmartSDR for iOS to force disconnection of the remote 6700 left “in use” but nonfunctional working with dogparkSDR as I’ve not found the same level of SmartLink connection management available in dogparkSDR. I’ve been unable to transition from dogparkSDR that was running at the old QTH on a LAN to remote using SmartLink over the net.
