Number Description Version implemented 1 Vertical Time Index displays UTC time, or can be dragged (with the mouse) to an arbitrary time 1.0.4 2 Accepts SFI updates from SpotCollector 1.0.7 3 Maintain and display history of Solar Flux, A index, and K index 1.0.8 (SpotCollector 1.2.8 or later) 4 Respond to Test and Shutdown DDE messages 1.1.1 5 Monitor beacons, 1.1.2 6 Optionally QSY transceiver to current beacon frequency 1.1.2 (Commander 3.7.3 or later) 7 Display current beacon location on DXView world map 1.1.2 (DXView 1.5.1 or later) 8 Rotate antenna to selected octant 1.1.2 (DXView 1.5.1 or later) 9 Enable PC clock adjustment based on beacon reception 10 accept Activate and Iconify commands from other DXLab applications 1.1.4 11 allow other DXLab applications to monitor the main window's state (minimized, normal, maximized) 1.1.5 12 provide DDE command that permits transmit power to be specified by another application 1.1.6 13 provide DDE command that permits a prediction to be initiated by another application 1.1.6 14 show day and night times for the transmitter and receiver locations 1.1.7 15 show 60m band 1.1.8 17 when a prediction is initiated based on DXCC entity selected in DXView, describe the prediction using the entity name rather than its prefix 1.2.0 20 provide a Log Debugging Info checkbox 1.2.1 21 provide the ability to specify takeoff and power settings for each HF band, and select the appropriate settings as a function of transceiver frequency when a predicition is initiated 1.2.2 22 support dual monitors 1.2.3 24 provide the ability to specify a transceiver offset in Hertz 1.2.4 25 update transceiver frequency in each beacon time slot 1.2.5 23 add buttons that navigate to user-specified propagation web sites, e.g. http://www.sec.noaa.gov/SWN/index.htm and lhttp://dx.qsl.net/propagation/index.html
1.2.6 27 accept a ResetWindows directive to force all windows onto the primary monitor 1.2.9 28 record DXLab application connectivity in the errorlog.txt file 1.3.0 29 replace the Predict button on the Main window's Prediction tab with "Predict SP" and "Predict LP" buttons 1.3.2 30 if "Show Current Time" is checked, keep the Date updated to the current date 1.3.2 31 if the Receiver latitude and longitude is associated with a DXCC entity, display the name of that entity in the Receiver panel 1.3.3 32 accept a frequency when directed to generate a forecast by another application 1.3.3 33 on the Main window's Parameters panel, rename the "Transmitter" and "Receiver" panels to "Your station" and "DX station" respectively 1.3.4 34 display dates in ISO format 1.3.5 36 provide keys for critical frequency and solar position colors 1.3.6 37 provide the option to not display dynamic information in window title bars (Vista workaround) 1.3.7 38 conduct beacon scanning in split mode so that QSYs don't activate TX relays (for those transceivers where its possible to select VFO A without resetting split mode) 1.3.9 16 use S-meter readings to
- compare current propagation among a number of locations
- detect openings to a specific location over frequency and time
18 display "number of hops" 19 display shortpath and longpath distance in miles or km 26 permit individual bands to be hidden in the prediction display 35 compute a worldwide propagation forecast for a particular band and display
it on the DXView's world map with "brightness" indicating propagation, and direct DXView to filter its spots for that band
