Introduction
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 cluster, there is
the option of automatic authentication and saving of the password.
DXSpotter has the broad 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 own 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 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 of sorting
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.
