Many thanks to all for your info. Been doing a lot of research after input from Dave, Rick and others. Dave suggested to try the trial version of a given software. Then decide what I would like to use. Good info and help from Tom also. Looking like RUMLog will be the logging program. Anyway, thanks to all. Now it is time for me to search decide. 73 all

Since you already have a Ten-Tec Pegasus, use it to try out the digital modes. Fldigi with the companion flrig would fine with your headless Pegasus. BTW, fldigi has built-on Logbook that should hold you until you decide what logging program best fits what you want to do. W1HKJ's fldigi will get you started with the exception of SSTV.
