This dialog is presented when you run MacLoggerDX unregistered, or select Preferences... from the MacLoggerDX Menu.
Enter your Call Sign and Registration number in the Call Sign and Registration Number boxes, then press return or tab out of the field. "Unregistered" will change to "Registered".
Once registered the Purchase button will be disabled otherwise it will direct your web browser to the MacLoggerDX page where you can purchase a MacLoggerDX registration number with the PayPal button for new users or the Upgrade button for exisiting MacLoggerDX V3.5+ users.
Portable prefixes are allowed - if your registered call sign is W1AW then W1AW/VE3, VE3/W1AW and VE3VRW-9 will also work. The base call (VE3VRW) will be used to validate registration and to log into dxclusters.
Enter your Latitude, Longitude and Grid Sqaure information in the text edit boxes, this will be used in determining the distance and bearing from your station of all look ups. You can use a GPS to determine your precise Latitude and Longitude, or look it up on the Internet here.
The rest of the Station Information (Name, Street, etc.) is used in the QSL Panel.
The Kilometers check box lets you choose between miles and kilometers for display of distance information.
The Sounds check box will enable/disable MacLoggerDX sound notifications.
The Band Plan popup lets you choose from the supplied Band Plans. You can also edit the sample band plan file delivered with MacLoggerDX, place it where it will be backed up and select it with the Custom popup item.
One reason to do this would be to define sub-band modes to suit your operations. For example one sub-band could be where you are looking to work Packet. You can choose any mode for that sub-band that is available in your mode popup (bold text, not italicized) and therefore available on your radio. This ability to automatically choose a mode based on frequency extends to Auto Tune in the DXCluster panel as well.
