#Ham radio logbook app portable#
Yes, I'd heartily recommend HamLog -and- the Piglet to anyone wanting to use their rig portable and not wanting to mess with paper logs.ġ. I got a 4-way PowerPole splitter from PowerWerx and run the KX3 and Piglet off the same 12Ah sealed battery. The Piglet runs off of 12v, as does my Elecraft KX3. I then import that attachment into my main MLDX log and bada-bing, bada-boom - done. You can select the entire thing, or parts of it. When you get back to your home base it's a simple matter of telling HamLog to export the ADIF by sending yourself an email with it attached. You key in the other station's call and anything else you want (name, QTH, etc.) - it's all saved in the HamLog database. At any rate, I plopped down my $99 for a Piglet device from N3WG's and then bought this $0.99 app from the Apple App Store.ĭoes it do what I want? I'll say it does! When interfaced with the Piglet, all the pertinent fields in HamLog are automatically populated. There is an iPad app called MLDX-HD that I thought would work for me, but either I can't figure out what's needed, or the app simply isn't meant for this sort of task. A very time consuming process and not a whole lot of fun. Had been doing it with paper and then manually typing all the stuff into my mac-based logging program: MacLoggerDX (MLDX). I recently got an iPad Air and wanted to use it for logging QSO's when out camping or simply operating in the back yard on the patio with my Elecraft KX3. Given the limited screen space on a phone, I don't think it would be an easy task to improve this logging app.

You can change your call at will, so it's easy to use the app for quick logging at home, or to save running your PC all day long in order to log the odd contact. Export of the log in ADIF format via email is easy and can be done between selected dates too.Ĭall lookup is via HamQTH or QRZ.com, the config is done under the settings app on an iPhone. The app is awkward to customise the fields, however the default settings suit me. I do not have a cat connection between the radio and my iPhone, but mostly only operate casually and entering, or editing, the frequency isn't an issue for my style of operating.Įven on the 4" screen of an iPhone SE, the program isn't fiddly to use, although I am fairly nimble fingered. I mostly use HamLog while operating "holiday style" overseas, using an iPhone SE and a KX3.
