My MLDX interfaces with both my old Icom IC-735 and Yaesu 857D and shows all the information available for what the radio allows to be queried for. This coupled with the practically instantaneous response on support questions made the choice that much easier to make for the purchase. One of the reasons for choosing MLDX was that it has a smooth workflow that can be tuned to almost any operators style on how he likes to work his station. It was either they were not written directly for the mac with not so friendly mac interface or they did not do provide what I was expecting of them. Well the after trying the free ones and the other shareware programs I kept finding issues. Being a fairly new ham (licensed in 2011) and a mac user for both work and personal use my goal was to find a native program to run on my mac's.
