Hi Terry, I have been using N3FJP's AC Log for a while, both with my K2 and now my K3. I haven't had any trouble at all with DX spotting and clicking on a spot to do a frequency change with either rig. I can take a look at my settings if you like. So, basically, clicking on a spot doesn't work?

Hi Jim, I have been using ACLog for about 2 years now. I find it simple, easy to use, and without a lot of complex features that are of no value...to me. I am a DX'er and an extremely casual contester (for the DX value). ACLog reports K3's band and exact frequency; which is all I really want

Agree all the way. For daily logging and superb tracking (there are gobs of awards that can be tracked and user-defined fields if you need even more), I also have used DXLabs for quite some time (five or six years). There *is* somewhat of a learning curve. The author of the suite (who also

That's as good as it's going to get. N3FJP has said he has no intention of fixing the program for the K3 and other radios. This is a software problem and not an K3 problem. It's probably time to move up in the logging world, like a lot of other people have done. On 06/02/2012 08:19 PM, Terry
