DXLab is a suite of interoperating applications designed to automate amateur radio DXing activities. Each application can be independently installed and utilized; when multiple applications are running, they sense each other's presence and interoperate appropriately. All DXLab applications are free, and contain no advertising; they run on Windows 95, 98, 98SE, NT, 2000, and XP. Commercial use is expressly forbidden.

Current applications:

www.qsl.net/dxview
www.qsl.net/pathfinder
www.qsl.net/propview
www.qsl.net/spotcollector
www.qsl.net/winwarbler

I use most of the programs in my everyday ham activities. The two I leave running almost all the time are spotcollector and dxview.  If I want to operate digital, then Commander and Winwarbler are just a click or two away, and to log anything, dxkeeper and pathfinder make their entrance.  The logbook is also adif compliant so most existing contest software output logs can be imported without hassle.  If using W98 you tend to run out of resources, but it plays well with W2k and XP.

Ham Radio Deluxe, Freeware CAT/Sat tracking/PSK31/Mapping

The award-winning Ham Radio Deluxe Development Team are pleased to announce the release of Ham Radio Deluxe v1.1   A stable beta of v1.2 is also available.

For those who didn't know it already, Ham Radio Deluxe is the logical evolution of the immensely popular and groundbreaking FT-817 Commander program. Unfortunately the FT-817 Commander was only capable of controlling Yaesu's FT-817, and there was a clear requirement for a CAT program with comprehensive support for various rigs. This led to development of Ham Radio Deluxe being started in early June 2003, since when the program has been rapidly evolving.

Ham Radio Deluxe does not make the mistake of trying to look like a traditional radio with rotary knobs and buttons. The GUI is more reminiscent of an old Eddystone receiver, with clearly marked buttons for switching modes, filters and other functions. Some - but not all - rigs also support sliders, which can be displayed or hidden as preferred, to control volume, IF shift, RF gain &c. The GUI is fully user-configurable with respect to colours, fonts and band indicators: this offers the user an unprecedented level of customisation. Because the program is so simple and logical to use, no documentation is required other than the rig's user manual.  A satellite tracking option is also integrated.

Included in the package are PSK31Deluxe and Mapper.

PSK31 Deluxe is a very sophisticated PSK31 program based on Moe Wheately's PSKCORE.DLL. It has two main guises: a traditional QSO window type of user interface, and the revolutionary SuperBrowser - SuperBrowser allows you to monitor up to 40 QSO channels at one time while conducting a QSO. PSK31 Deluxe offers comprehensive user-defined macros and tags, and of course the GUI is fully user-configurable.

Some of the more interesting features are:  The unique SuperBrowser. Centring of the desired signal in the filter's passband. 'Click and insert' of your QSO partner's information into tags and macros (callsign, name, QTH &c) TX frequency shift for soundcards with differences between RX and TX frequency. A fully customisable waterfall display.

MAPPER:

Mapper is - the name says it all - an amateur radio mapping program. It is capable of printing customisable maps of up to 10 x 10 sheets of paper, but its main function is the capture and display of Maidenhead locator information from PSK31 Deluxe. Beam heading and distance can also be displayed, and for the QRP ops among us there is also a 'miles per watt' calculator. Just place your mouse pointer on the relevant spot on the map and read off the MPW.

RIG SUPPORT:

At the time of writing (22 December) the following rigs were supported: Elecraft K2, ICOM IC-703, IC-706, IC-706MkII, IC-706MkIIG, IC-718, IC-735, IC-7400, IC-746, IC-746Pro, IC-756, IC-756Pro, IC-756ProII, IC-775DSP, IC-781, IC-910H, IC-R10, IC-R8500, Ten-Tec Argonaut, Yaesu FT-100, FT-1000D, FT-1000MP, FT-817, FT-847, FT-857, FT-897, FT-840, FT-870, FT-890, FT-900, FT-920, FT-990  Kenwood TS-140S, TS-2000, TS-450S, TS-50S, TS60S, TS-570, TS-680S, TS-690S, TS-850, TS-870, TS-940S, TS-950.

These programs are in a constant state of development, with new features and rig support added almost weekly.

You are invited to join the Ham Radio Deluxe users group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham-radio-deluxe  where you will find a great many enthusiastic users who can help you with (almost) any questions you may have.

Just to boast a little, Simon and I were awarded the RSGB's Special 90th Anniversary Award 'in recognition of (our) significant contribution to the development of amateur radio technology' for this package. You can download the latest version of all these programs at:  http://www.hb9drv.ch
