As a user of DX4WIN (and I've appended this before) I find it is the best
logging software available today for Windows PC's. I've only used one
DOS logger (DXLog) but have tried different ones for Windows and find
DX4WIN to be the clear winner. ("LOGic" trails by a long distance...)
I'd send more info, but I'm buried. Check out their web site, it's good
and the demo has some features turned off, but you'll get a good idea of
how most of it works. The packet interface is especially nice (click on
spots to switch your rig to them, etc.) I use an ICOM IC-765, so the
operation is similar to the TT as far as rig control (TT uses the ICOM
scheme).
FWIW...

Here is another response I got to my inquiry about Rig Control Software. Any
one have experience using this one?

<< Hello Leonard,
First let me say that I am biased because I have a product I sell which
does what you're looking for. It is a piece of logging software called
DX4WIN. There is a fully functional demo available at
http://www.erols.com/pvander. If you get the demo, you should also get
the users guide off the page as well. It is 70 pages of how to set up
and use the program.
Be sure to get every thing set up correctly (baud rate, comm port, IRQ)
and make sure you set up Windows as well. (I did fail to mention, this
is a Windows program.) All of these things are like switches in series,
or those old Xmas tree lites, if one parameter is not set up correctly,
it won't work.
Ten Tec lent me an Omni IV last year to test out the software, so I know
it works fine.
Let me know if I can help with questions.
