[Dxbase] Digital mode software + DXBase

[Wes N7WS]

I've decided to find a use for my Elecraft K3 and figured I would use it 
for portable operation and try some digital modes; things that it is 
probably best suited for.

All I want to do is work some RTTY and PSK, have the radio polled for 
frequency and log QSOs using DXB on my laptop. No spots, call lookups, 
coffee making (XYL still does that) and so forth.  So I've been trying 
all of the available (free) stuff and have rejected most of them.

HRD is way too complicated.  The DXLab suite was unstable on my system 
and is also too complicated.  The DXBPsk program is pretty old and 
doesn't "print" as well as the later WinPSK 2.x.x but that doesn't 
interface with DXB.  DigiPan, FLDIGI, Hamscope, KCOMM, N1MM have all 
been tried and found lacking for some reason or another.  Some reasons 
are pretty simple; being able to use a macro to clear the receive window 
but no way to clear a transmit window, for example.  Makes no sense.

Joe's AXETTY works beautifully, but does only RTTY.  So I've kind of 
zeroed in on MMVARI + MMD.  By telling the program I have a Kenwood 
radio, I get the frequency OK, but even though MMD says it's "connected" 
to both DXB and MMARI, I fail to understand how to actually get QSOs 
into the log.

Any tips?
