Just a note on Logger32.
In its present state it does not support the current software upgradeable
Ten-Tec rigs including the Orion, Argo V, Jupiter and Pegasus (the old
Logger did support the Ten-Tec protocols for these rigs). In addition,
unlike the original Logger, it does not fully support the Omni V.9. In
particular the DX-cluster portion. When a DX spot is clicked the Omni V.9
goes to the correct frequency and mode BUT chooses the narrowest filter.
This problem was fixed in the original Logger but has re-occurred in Logger
32. It has been reported to the Beta testers and Logger32 author.
Earlier versions of Logger are available to work with the modern Ten-Tec
rigs and the Omni V.9 and the log files can be easily converted to Logger32
when the bugs are corrected.
