Very strange ! I just tried it here (MMM+microHAM+FT-817) and it works  
with or without MacLoggerDX running.

Check settings of your radio...

menu item nr.20 - must be CAT
menu item nr.19 - must be same baud rate as in MacLoggerDX.

When MacMemoriesManager polls radio and driver is correctly installed  
than you will see GREEN led blinking on interface. When radio responds  
you will see RED led blinking.

Definitely sounds like a communication problem, please enable the  
"Debug" check box in the "Prefs" Panel and send me the file it creates  
in the MacLoggerDX folder - it will be called something like "Fri, Apr  
9, 2004.dbg".

LO is "Lock Out" and is supported in the FT-857 Driver...
