Since 1989, LOGic has provided the amateur community with the
ultimate in professional-grade ham radio logging software -- the
software with the most flexibility, the most features, and yet the
easiest to use.
If you are looking for state-of-the-art software, please take the time
to explore this site and learn how LOGic can add to your enjoyment of
our hobby. Here are hilights of some of LOGic's unique features. The
links below will take you to a more comprehensive list of features, a
free demo, and a sample instructional video. Please feel free to
contact us if you have any questions.
 The
most-used feature of any ham radio software is logging. We paid
special attention to making LOGic's logging forms absolutely the best.
Log your data using customizable log forms. LOGic's unique forms provide
two views of your data--a row-and-column format for quickly viewing
multiple QSOs (reminiscent of the old paper logbook), and a
form window for viewing detailed QSO info. Log anything you want by
creating your own user-defined fields. Store complete digital QSOs or
unlimited notes with each QSO. Store any number of pictures with
each QSO -- SSTV exchanges, eQSL cards, or scans of your paper cards. Quickly search your data using any
field or combination thereof, regardless of how big your log is. You may
open several log forms simultaneously. You could log a QSO in one form,
while searching with another. Or have one log form for HF DXing and
another customized form for VHF/UHF work. Customize LOGic by choosing
your favorite colors. Use your favorite photos for form backgrounds.
 When
you log a station, information is automatically logged from callbook
databases or previous QSOs. A separate window automatically displays all
previous QSOs with that station, complete with QSL status for each QSO.
Another window shows all memberships that a station holds--1010, SMIRK,
FISTS, etc. An Info window shows the DXCC country, zones, UTC and local
times, ARRL bureau status, and distance and direction to and from the DX
station. A variety of maps (gray line, political, and road maps)
are available, as well as demographic and political information. Get
real-time WX reports for yourself or the station you are in QSO with.
Of course DXCC and zones are logged automatically. LOGic also can
log any item from previous QSOs with the same station (great for contest
exchanges). Membership numbers (1010, SMIRK, etc. may also be logged
automatically using LOGic's Memberships database. Name, address, grid
square, county, etc. may be automatically logged from free and
subscription web-based callbook databases, LOGic's built-in callbook
database, and any of the popular CD-ROM callbooks. All available
callbook databases are automatically searched until the call is found!
LOGic is the DXer's dream. Its awards progress tracking is absolutely
unsurpassed. It tracks progress for any award in real-time.
See at a glance your status per band and mode. See if a QSL has been
received or requested. A Needed Cards report shows worked but
unconfirmed QSOs for DXCC or other awards that would increase your
totals if only you had the QSL. This report shows you where to
concentrate your QSLing efforts. A QSL route database with 50,000+
entries and frequent free internet updates is provided.
Paper chasers will appreciate LOGic's huge database of 1010, SMIRK,
FIST, IOTA, counties, etc, many of which may be kept up-to-date via the
internet.
LOGic's DX spotting feature collects and manages spots from up to two
TNC's, two Telnet sessions, DX Summit, and DXScape. Spots may be plotted
on LOGic's gray line map to graphically illustrate global propagation.
Filtering permits you to ignore spots based on any criteria--for
example, band, mode, or even the country of the station posting the spot
or his distance from you. Alerts are generated not only for needed DXCC,
but for zones, continent, WPX prefix, Grid, and IOTA.
LOGic's contest logging facility utilizes LOGic's custom log forms
feature to provide user-setup for nearly any contest. You may
specify the rules for scoring and duping. However, LOGic comes with
over 50 contests already set up for you, and more are added to our web
site regularly. LOGic keeps contest QSOs in the same database as the
rest of your QSOs, using a contest identifier and dates to separate
contest QSOs when scoring or exporting. Having contesting
integrated with your main logging system has two big advantages.
Firstly, progress status for DXCC and other awards is available just as
when doing normal DX logging. A station down in the mud that may take
some time to work may not be worth the time for another point and
multiplier, but a serious paper chaser will want to know if this station
would increase his totals. Secondly, since previous year's contests are
stored in the same database, LOGic automatically logs contest exchanges
using previous QSOs!
LOGic's report writer prints beautiful QSL cards and labels.
Customize your own QSL card using a desktop publishing-style interface.
Select fonts and colors, use line drawing tools, and print graphics or
photographs. Print on any form or label size. You may multiple
QSOs per label or card. County hunter MRCs may also be printed. You do
not waste labels when printing a partial sheet. Simply feed the same
sheet back thru your printer the next time you print labels. LOGic
will ask how many used label positions to skip.
If you prefer electronic QSL cards, LOGic fully supports Logbook of the
World and eQSL, with easy one-step upload and download. eQSL QSL card
pictures may be downloaded and stored with the QSO in your log.
For the ultimate in station automation, LOGic interfaces to up to eight
radios, providing auto logging, remote control, and auto spot QSY. All
radios are active simultaneously! For the ultimate in computerized
rig control, including remote station operation, LOGic interfaces to the
popular TRX-Manager rig
control software. LOGic's Rotor control provides
auto rotor selection based on band. Any or all rotors may be aimed
simultaneously, with separate offsets for each rotor. Automatically aim
phased arrays, or turn an unused beam 90 degrees with respect to the
active beam to minimize coupling. Up to four rotors are supported. Automatic band switches are
also supported.
LOGic is fully networkable and muilt-user for multiop contesting or
DXpeditions.
Stepping up from other programs is easy. LOGic imports industry
standard ADIF log files (pioneered by us!) that are generated by most if
not all software currently on the market. LOGic also imports data from
most porgrams that do not support ADIF, and in most cases we can import
any data at no charge.
Ham radio is a complicated hobby, especially when computers
are involved. We have made LOGic very easy to use with careful interface
design and years of feedback from our customer base. LOGic has with a
printed manual, an instructional video, and comprehensive help, and help tips
that appear when you hold the mouse over a control. Free updates, new
contest setups, reports, etc are available for download. And we are here to
help you. Personal assistance is available via telephone or email. We
can even log onto your computer over the internet (with your permission, of
course!), to help solve problems or help you set up some of LOGic's more
advanced features.
This is only a summary of some of LOGic's many features.
