Besides the usual logging, transceiver control, DX spot collection and
digital mode features you'll find in most applications, DXLab

- provides 10 banks of 10 memories with the ability to scan the frequencies
in any bank

- displays frequency-dependent settings for devices like tuners and
amplifiers

- provides complete RX bandwidth control for FT-1000MP and FT-1000MP Mark V
transceivers

- tracks confirmation and verification of QSOs for DXCC and TopList awards,
highlighting needed DX spots, automatically generating outgoing QSLs that
request confirmation of needed QSLs, identifying confirmed QSOs for
submission to the ARRL DXCC desk, and generating DXCC submission paperwork

- reports progress towards DXCC, TopList, Challenge VUCC, Marathon, WAS,
WAC, IOTA, WAZ, WPX, and county awards

- extracts address information from all 3 CDROM callbooks and QRZ.com

- synchronizes with LotW and eQSL.cc, initiating upload and download
operations with a single mouse click without requiring the user to manually
invoke TQSL

- directly prints QSL labels and 4-to-a-page QSL cards

- directly prints addresses on envelopes or labels

- provides operations that can alter many logged QSOs simultaneously without
requiring the user to modify ADIF files -- e.g. performing callbook lookups
on already-logged QSOs, or adjusting the start times of QSOs logged during a
specific time range, or extracting QTH information from COMMENT fields,
or...

- provides one-click access to more than 100 web-accessible sources of QSL
information

- provides both map-driven and callsign-driven operation of all known
PC-controllable rotators

- captures DX spots from up to 6 sources (telnet clusters, packetclusters,
DX Summit), creating and maintaining a local database with one entry for
each active DX station that is color coded by "need" and LotW participation,
and whose entries can be independently filtered and displayed in a table, on
its world map, and on a zoomable bandspread

- extracts QSX frequencies from DX spot notes, enabling accurate transceiver
setup for split frequency operation with one user action

- captures solar and geomagnetic data from WWV spots and uses this data to
display easy-to-understand QST-style graphical propagation forecasts, and to
depict the auroral oval on its world map

- monitors user-specified NCDXF/IARU HF beacon schedules to rapidly
calibrate propagation forecasts with actual propagation

- decodes all PSK31 or PSK63 QSOs within your transceiver's bandpass and
extract callsigns to create and maintain a "stations heard" window

- simultaneously runs soundcard RTTY (using the MMTTY engine) and an
external modem (e.g. a KAM or PK232) to provide diversity decoding or the
ability to simultaneously decode a DX station and callers

- supports PSK, RTTY, CW (generation only), and Phone (voice keying) with a
single user interface and macro facility

- interoperates with with MultiPSK, MMSSTV, MMVARI, MMTTY, MixW, and DX
Atlas

- is updated frequently, and downloads/installs upgrades with a single mouse
click

- is driven by an active and friendly user community open to everyone

If anyone here has used both Ham Radio Deluxe and the DXLab Suite
extensively with an FT-1000, it would be interesting to see user
comments on how well they work and what advantages each might have over
the other.
