Thanks everyone for all of the replies.

Thanks Tom for the pointer on RoverLog.  The audio files should be stored in the same location as the log files.  I will look closer.   I have always loved RoverLog, contesting just isn't fun without it!  ;-)

As far as the GPS goes, we are planning to buy a new mapping GPS anyway, so I thought I would look for one that does grids.  No big deal.  I have an android smart phone and a hand held GPS I can use...

In June I plan to do 4 to 6 grids in the KY and IN area.  

6 meters: 100 watts and a Moxon
2 meters: 160 watts and 17 elements
432          100 watts and 18 elements

Alas, the FT897D doesn't have 222...  Maybe I can pick up another transverter eventually.

73 all
Dan

I have been using Hamlog on my ipad and iPhone. There is also som other grid locator apps for the iPhone and I'm sure there is something also for Android.

 wonder if there are any that will display grid squares now? ? I remember several years ago this topic came up on the list and the general consensus was the mapping GPS's did not do maidenhead. ?Has that changed in the last few years?
