Anybody else have an opinion about Worlstation software by Dxtra? I tried it again recently and HATE it. Complete crap. I still say Shortwave Log is the best SWL software ever made. So bummed it's no longer being updated/supported.

Never tried it. What don't you like about it?

The Shortwave Log website came back to life the other day.

Shortwave Log: Shortwave Logging Software

Yesterday the blog showed a new version (4691) may soon be released.

I found this info from the Yahoo Group.

Well I see SW Log is back, but just to put a wrapper on the R75 software question, here are the links I know of that are compatible and where you can find them...

Receiver Software Applications - The RadioReference Wiki

Callsign, Ergo, RxPlus (likely out of development - haven't heard anything about it in a long time), SysLabs RadioControl, tk75 (TCL/TK software from Bob Parnass - and I think this one is also out of development/support)

Amateur Radio Transceiver Control - The RadioReference Wiki

Bonito Radiocom, Commander, Control the Radio (Pocket PC app), TRX Manager. And there's even MacLogger DX for MAC users.

If there are other packages that work with multiple HF radios that include the R75 please chime in

HTH...Mike
