OOPs... sorry about that direct reply N1EA...

Hi Laura,

I just looked over xdx and xlog and I have some ideas you might want to
try. In xdx there is a connection log under the program menu and there is
also in the outputs tab of preferences there are options for saving.

In xlog preferences under the hamlib tab what happens if you connect to
localhost? As both applications use hamlib, I would think there must be a
way to get them to talk to each other. I will let you know if I figure
anything out.
