DX Spotter
DXSpotter is designed as an efficient, stable and easy-to-use program for the exchange of information for HAM radio users.DXSpotter is capable of exchanging a tremendous amount of information in DX Clusters on the Internet and working with the popular DXSummit service. DXSpotter has a fully adjustable interface, including graphical skins, and satisfies the needs of any user.
When connecting to a cluster, there is the option of automatic authentication and saving of the password. DXSpotter has the added ability to notify the user of selected DX stations, allowing the user to use the program in the background.
The user is able to set unique sounds, turn on 'speech' mode, or enable the popup alert to notify when a chosen DX station, announcement or WWW information has appeared. Filtering the frequency gives the ability to view only those stations within the selected range.
The search utility for popular callbooks (QRZ, HamCall and RAC), and online search utility give the possibility of quickly retrieving information about working stations.
If the user participates in a contest or is a hunter for DX, then the option of quickly setting the transceiver to a frequency for a working station gives another advantage. The current version of DXSpotter supports more than 70 popular models of transceivers from YEASU, KENWOOD, ICOM, and Ten-Tec.
The integration with other HAM radio programs gives the ability to view working stations on a map, with the help of programs like DXAtlas, and provides an easy way to quickly transfer the information to the logbook.
A full log of the program, lists of the DX spots and announcements can easily be saved for future reference and use, with the additional ability to sort them 'offline'.
One other ability of DXSpotter is a utility allowing for the synchronization of the computer's time with increased accuracy, allowing the user to avoid differences while sending messages.
