[ICOM] Virtual Icom Radio

Sat Mar 11 22:17:19 EST 2006

DXLab... not surprisingly, considering its name.... is primarily software 
for the DXer. It may be a bit complex for simple logging. But it's the best 
I've ever tried for DXing... it keeps track of all your goals and your 
personal progress towards reaching them. It tracks your DXCC records, your 
QSLs, prints cards if you want, or both QSL labels and mailing labels. And 
it does LOTW with just a couple of keystrokes. It displays spots, gives you 
a moving gray-line map, controls your rig and has a bandmap. And it's easy 
to learn because it's made up of several independent applications that run 
alone, or will automatically hook up with other running apps and interact 
with them. You can learn one app at a time if you want. The suite of several 
interoperative applications will do nearly everything the DXer could want... 
except maybe kiss him (or her) goodnight, and that may be coming. I have 
tried them all, and DXLab is the best.  And... SURPRISE... Dave AA6YQ 
provides it to the Deserving (and everyone else) absolutely FREE, along with 
the promptest and best support available anywhere.

Check it out at http://www.qsl.net/dxlab/
