Flex-6500 using MacLoggerDX FAIL

Andrew Rose
Andrew Rose Member ✭✭
 For a number of years I have logged contacts made on my Flex-6500 using MacLoggerDX either on my [MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)] or my [iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch 2017)].

I now have a problem, the “MacLoggerDX” running on my iMac is unable to see or communicate with the radio!  Both computer are on the same WiFi Hub, both have similar settings.  Has any one experienced a similar problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    hi andrew


    well macos stand for the mac operating system ( hence called macos)
    this is apples terminology  not mine...for example 10.15.5 OS which i run on my mac minis also known as 'macOS Catalina'

    As for 'mldx', that is shorthand or acronym for macloggerdx

    that is why i annotated is 'also known as' = ( aka)

    hence, (aka mldx) means 'also known as macloggerdx'


    last but least the 'what changed' question...actually points to the problem....the router....

    for any body to be of any help we need we need to know make and model...

    this will allow for any experts on that router to chime in for proper setup....

    maybe as simple as turning off DHCP server in the router cause a network does not like two DHCP servers handing out IP address...confuses things...

    usually your ISP ( internet service provider) router does the DHCP server function for the whole house

    MacLoggerDX has a pretty good logging facility which may help point in the right direction. We are all sort of shooting in the dark here, Paul.

    You need to bond to a GUI client, like DogParkSDR.
