Well thanks guys. Lots more options to choose from all the time. Makes it
all fun though. I have the advantage of just starting to get set up with my
new flex and not keeping logs before this, so I can literally "try before I
buy". I am going to download the trial and free versions of the ones peop
There is a section in the book Computers in Amateur Radio by Steve White G3ZVW
that talks about this very subject. I admit to having written the section in
this book (I don't earn commission on sales).
The short answer is no one logger does everything.
My own opinion is that as a general logger
The simplest approach to getting logging going is to install and use
fldigi. It may not be the best way but installing fldigi and setting it up
to make it work with PowerSDR gets you 99% of the way there. You get the

DDUtil by Steve, K5FR, comes in. You tell DDUtil to talk to PowerSDR. Then
you set up additional serial port pairs for each program you need to have
access the PowerSDR CAT information. DDUtil then acts like a "traffic
New problem.
I set up COM7 and COM17 and got Win-EQF working.
So then I set up FLDIGI following the directions on their wiki and got
Fldigi working with the same COM port pair COM7 and COM17
But, then when I start Win-EQF it says it cannot open COM7, because it is
in use by FLDIGI of course.
So, I
For most Flex users, the following are key pieces of software:
- VSPManager (or ComOCom - but VSP Manager seems better)

OK,
I am using Win-EQF and following Ray, K9DUR's (sorry in another response I
called you Mike) set up and used VSPMgr to set up COM 7 and COM 17,
