RUMLOG WINDOWS WINDOWS
You’ll also note that the windows shown in these screen shots have a blue palette versus the green pallette with RUMped. It also has a nice connection with QRZ, although MacLoggerDX does this in a more graphically pleasing manner. RUMLog also has a very nice interface with Logbook of the World - automatically downloading updates from your account. RUMLog allows you to see it all the time in a window you can size for your desktop. While MacLoggerDX offers this, you need to move into a different window to see it, then bounce back to your regular operating window. I really like the window with the world map and the greyline indication (between night and day around the world). The interface with the DX cluster programs works well, although perhaps not as graphically pleasing as MacLoggerDX. It also has a great interface with WinKeyer. That alone would probably sell me on the program. The first really nice connection is the interface with the Elecraft K3.
RUMLOG WINDOWS FULL SIZE
Just click on the image to see it full size with more detail visible. I’ve included a couple of full screen shots of many of the RUMLog windows I use routinely. I’m still getting used to RUMLog, but so far I really like it. All our family’s computers are Apple, as are our phones.

One further reason behind this is that I’m somewhat of a “brand” guy. As a result, I also decided to try our RUMLog in order to better integrate the two. However, I found recently that RUMped had undergone major upgrades and as noted in my last post, really suits my current contest requirements. I’ve worked with Mac-based Skookum Logger and I note that it is growing into a very nice contest package. However, as serious contest operating became the norm for me I began to look for a better option for that segment of my operating, which MacLoggerDX does not support. In this post I’m going to take up RUMLog, a Mac-based general logging program also developed by DL2RUM.įor years I’ve used MacLoggerDX and I really like the program and the support that is provided by Don Agro, VE3VRW. TCI - Transceiver Control Interface was developed for simple and still advanced connection between the ExpertSDR2/3 and third-party software.In my last post I commented on RUMped, a Mac-based contest logging sofware developed by DL2RUM.
RUMLOG WINDOWS SOFTWARE
TCI has all required control commands similar to the CAT system, but even more, it can transfer IQ-streams from the ExpertSDR2/3 to clients (third-party software such as signal Skimmers, etc.) via local network and the Internet, CW macros and Audio In/Out streams for digital modes. TCI is the universal multi-client interface (you can connect it to radio Loggers, Skimmers, PAs, antenna switches, etc. It was developed as an open protocol to use with multi-band transceivers, which support one, two, or multi receivers/transmitters. This is a game-changer for the SDR radio! It is an open-source protocol, we've discussed using it with hardware and accessory developers. For example, Band Pass Filters unit with a LAN interface can get information about radiofrequency via LAN and can switch filters, the same applies to antenna switches and PAs, and so on. The connection process with TCI is very easy, someday in the future, you won't believe you lived without it for so long! Several software developers are already working on the implementation of TCI in their software, we will try to get TCI into all HAM software.
RUMLOG WINDOWS CODE
Here is the link to the GitHub page, where you can find the description of the TCI in English and Russian and the source code of the demo-client software. This utility was created to synchronize ExpertSDR3 software and other third-party software without TCI support via CAT and VAC. In the left part of the software window, you need to enter the IP address and port of the TCI server in ExpertSDR3.

In the right part, you’ll find CAT and VAC settings.
