Bob,

I have similar setup. I currently use DXKeeper, part of the DXLabs suite to do my logging. I chose DXKeeper because it works well with LoTW and does an excellent job of reporting.

After some thought I chose not to interface the logging program with the radios or SATpc32. I did not want the headaches of port sharing software. More than than that especially on the FM birds contacts happen so fast real time logging just gets in my way. Rather, I keep a list of contacts as they happen on paper and then log after the fact.

For other uses I have DXKeeper tied to the radio either directly or with Commander (part of the DXLabs suite) or FT8 via JTAlerts but for the satellites the manual method works just fine. Uploading to LoTW (and eQSL if you want), ClubLog and QSL management and reporting is a breeze.

And invariably I am using, and quite happy with SatPC32 to control the two radios.

And the latter is done with the help of VSPE to make some virtual serial ports.

So what program(s) can I use to be able to LOG the xmit and the Rx frequencies, the Calls, the locations of the guys ... and also upload/download/match, from LOTW ?

....and as a by product, keep track of Grids Countries and the like?

Contesting of any form is not needed.

thank you

Thanks for the replies.

DxKeeper is unable to read from the Uplink RADIO and then the Downlink radio. There is usually the excuse that IC910 too convoluted or why doesn't I question asker write it himself.

I have used it for ten years. It's a nice suite.

Ill suited for TWO radios which must run in parallel. .. or I couldn't hear my "dit dit dit" when I was spotting myself.

right?

I have windows 10. MacLogger is, uh, for a Mac

This "should" be simple. I see Erich's SatPc32 simultaneously read Uplink as well as downlink, then make some clever individual radio QRG changes. He's a master at this. SatPc32 is holding both of my separate rigs QRG at that moment.

At a dozen times a second, it seems.

Well lads, I had to ask. I see it is impossible for a windows based logging system to read an IC910 and A K3 for quick logging purposes.

and now the flogging I get for daring to need such a program.
