MacLoggerDX logs into your favorite Telnet or TNC DXCluster and as DX
Spots are received, tunes your radio to the spot, looks up the call and
displays the DX station on the real time grey line Map with distance
and bearing from your station.
If you decide to work the station, MacLoggerDX is ready to instantly
add the QSO and your Radio's VFO information to your log and can swing
your beam around to work the station Direct or Long Path. MacLoggerDX
supports ADIF Import/Export which is fully compatible with eQSL.cc and
the ARRL LoTW.
MacLoggerDX looks up calls on the Internet, the new QRZ Online premium
service, in QRZ CD Roms, on MapQuest, it's internal zipcode database,
Dxpedition database, the ARRL country and DX lists, your Log Book and
your User Call Book. MacLoggerDX's internal databases are regularly
updated instantly over the Internet.
With a single key stroke you can see where this QSO is operating from -
right down to the street level !
In the background MacLoggerDX can tune your rig to a pre-arranged
schedule or scan list - interrupting the program if something of
interest pops up on the DXCluster.
MacLoggerDX automatically tracks DXCC, IOTA, WAS and CQ WAZ (Worked All

Ham Band and lets you quickly tune to the action using a separate VFO
slider for each band.

TNC. See stations pop up on the map in real time as they digipeat APRS
