It can take a few minutes before the log entries appear in your QRZ logbook and LoTW.įor these Look Up and logging services, you can also enable the option to upload in real time for each or some. Location name same as setup in TQSL, password is not needed unless one was set for the location in TQSL. Station tab, enable WSTJ-X and DXLab TCP, for Fldigi also enable UDP Broadcast (info below).

Icom 7300 MacLoggerDX Setup - YouTube, note I didn't need to install the divers (macOS Big Sir detected the radio and it just worked), in the port setting use the sym link since the tty device name can change apparently.
Hardware / Software versions as of 13-Jul-22: This is the setup I now use after using option 1 for a while but wanted to get Flrig in the picture, and this is what I came up with.įor QRZ lookups to work you need to be an XML subscriber, for the logbook uploads you need to have the logbook option enabled, and get the upload API key (link below).įor LoTW to work you need to have the TQSL application installed and configured with a certificate. MLDX simply catches the logs from the digi mode apps which contain all needed info, when on voice modes (SSB/AM/FM) digi mode apps and Flrig are closed, radio control is given to MLDX (check box top left on main screen) so it can capture and log mode/frequency automatically when logging a QSO.
Couple of advantages which are useful when remote controlling the station - Flrig provides useful feedback and control of most features, and Fldigi has full control of the radio. With this setup Flrig owns the CAT control and digi mode apps are configured to interface to it for rig control. Option 2: An alternate configuration with Flrig at the bottom of page. Downside is Fldigi does not support DX Labs TCP interface and cannot have full control of the rig, work arounds for Fldigi to learn the frequency via MLDX UDP broadcasts, and a PTT control script are covered. This also allows some MLDX features to automatically control the radio (if you use them). Option 1: MacLoggerDX controls the radio (or "owns" the CAT control), the applications interface to MLDX via the built-in DXLabs TCP server which listens on port 5002, this allows the applications to control the mode, frequency, and PTT etc via MacLoggerDX as per normal as though they were controlling the radio directly. Configuring MacLoggerDX, with WSTJ-X, JS8Call, and Fldigi to integrate with each other for rig control, and upload logs to LoTW, QRZ, and Club Log.
