Great ! we were having some problems with Andreas' FT-817 in Germany, 
glad to hear that yours is working well.

Sorry Bob, I really should inhibit MacLoggerDX from trying to treat the 
built in modem as if it were a radio :)

There is a slightly newer version of the FT-817 driver in this beta:

<ftp://dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX1.9b4.sit>

1.9b4 forces 2 stop bits at all baud rates which the FT-817 seems to 
prefer,
The 1.8 version will cause problems on the FT-817 if you try and set 
the mode to FM.

Let me know how 1.9b4 works for you.

If you wouldn't mind, turn on the DebugLog in the preferences panel and 
send me the log file it creates:
