DXSpotter by YO8SAW

Posted on December 30, 2024December 30, 2024 by Simone
DX Spotter

I’ve been using DX Spotter by YO8SAW for several years.

The software, whose last built was 1.3.106 has now been dismissed and it is no more supported, but I still have installed on my PC. I Find it very essential and usefull to track latest spots with easy filtering features. Even if it now the best on it field, it is part of my toolbox.

Some of the main features:

  • Can connect to DX Spider and CC Cluster types of nodes
  • Can be minimized to the system tray and issue alerts for desired spots
  • Supports spot filtering based on DX band, callsign, country, active DXpeditions and worked/new countries
  • Supports three types of alerts: color change, sound alert, icon and balloon popup
  • Reconnects automatically if the connection is interrupted
  • Can be set to start automatically at Windows startup
  • Retrieves previous spots when connection is established
  • Send spots
  • View details about spotted callsigns, such as DXpedition information
  • Statistics – see how many spots have been processed, displayed or how many triggered an alert
  • CAT through Ham Radio Deluxe
    • Tune rig to spot frequency
    • Automatically detect split operation and set rig to split mode
    • Read rig frequency and use it when sending new spots
  • Automatic update of country database
  • It’s free!
