Doesn't work with interfaces that connect one receiver to each channel
of a single soundcard.  Also requires THREE soundcards if the user is
to avoid the possibility of operating system sounds going to the
transmitter.

Neither of those are dual receiver transceivers.

MacLogger is open - it exposes a standard Applescript interface and
any developer can exploit that to extend support to MacLogger DX.

I have ... and his answer is exactly as stated above.  fldigi does not
support a scriptable interface that is compatible with the standards
in the OS-X world (specifically Applescript or any other scripting 
language than could be translated to Applescript).

Oh, I have.  fldigi only makes use of the PTT interface.  Again, it
is not scriptable so it can't access the the radio control "port" in
uH Router (at least I can't find any mention of support other than
the PTT script in any of the documentation of change logs).
