[Elecraft] MacLoggerDX vs RUMlog

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

I've been using MLDX for a long time, before RumLog was available and never really looked at RumLog, so no reasons really and can't say if one is better than the other. MLDX/K3/KX3 integration is good. I understand RumLog has some specific functions for K3, so I will give it a try someday.
