Ron,
While I can't comment on the particulars of AClog, a simple
connection between pc and radio will let the software grab band and
mode data from the radio and make life a bit easier.
A simple USB connection, or serial connection through a "real"
serial port on the pc, or USB to serial adapter, will bring your
station roaring into the late 20th century.
