[DogParkList] Elecraft K3 and MacLoggerDX

I am a new owner of Elecraft K3 but I have not yet set it up to interface to my mac and MacLoggerDX. I currently have the Elecraft Serial-to-USB interface cable but I have only used that with my Windows laptop in setting up and doing the configuration and calibration steps of the K3.

So, what do I need (or, do I have it now?) to interface the K3 to MacLoggerDX. I currently use the CI-V interface of my Icom Pro III with MacLoggerDX.

And, here is yet another question? Has anyone plugged two rigs simultaneously to be used by MacLoggerDX. MacLoggerDX does not have to be accessed to both rigs at the same time but I am wondering if there are any stumbling blocks.

And, what if I wanted both connected at the same time. Could I use TWO instances of MacLoggerDX: one hooked to my Pro III and the other hooked to my K3? And, what type of access control and locking occurs with the logging database. Is the database opened (via SQLite) only at the time that a record is to be read or written or is it held open during the time that MacLoggerDX is running. Obviously it would be nice to access the same database file simultaneously from two different applications. I presume that even with some care this can be done using SQLite interface.
