ARLA/CLUSTER: Nova versão para SWL´s do popular programa "DXtreme Reception Log X"

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

DXtreme Reception Log X released

DXtreme Software™ has released a new version of its popular logging
program for radio monitoring enthusiasts: DXtreme Reception Log X™
(Version 10.0).

Like other logging programs, DXtreme Reception Log X lets listeners
and DXers log the stations they’ve heard. But unlike other logging
programs, Reception Log X provides advanced features that can add a
new dimension to logging activities.

New Features in Version 10.0

• Afreet Ham CAP Integration — Lets users run short- and long-path
propagation predictions from the Schedule Checker, Reception Log,
Countries, and Transmitter Sites windows. Reception Log X sends key
data to Ham CAP which, in turn, displays a chart showing the
signal-to-noise-ratio prediction by time and frequency and a Mercator
projection showing the current propagation prediction for the path
between the user and the target station.

• Improv Imaging™ — A dedicated tab on the Reception Log window,
Improv Imaging lets users associate ad hoc images with log entries.
Users can capture from their screen, scan from their image scanner, or
paste from the Clipboard any images they want to associate with a
displayed log entry, such as screen captures of stations received on
digital applications, waterfall displays, Amateur TV pictures, Ham CAP
maps showing propagation conditions at the time of reception, etc. An
Improv Image Explorer lets uses peruse their collection of Improv
images, and call up the log entries with which they are associated.

• Preview QSL Image Viewer — Is now larger and expandable on the
Verification tab of the Reception Log window, and the new QSL Image
Explorer lets uses peruse their collection of QSL images, and call up
the log entries with which they are associated.

• Colorful User Experience Enhancements — Lets users set the
foreground and background colors of heading and data rows on grids
throughout the program — one set of foreground and background colors
for odd data rows, and another for even data rows — making it easier
to view schedules on the Schedule Checker, log entries on the Last Log
Entries grid and window, and data in Reports.

Advanced Features

• Schedule Checker™ — Lets users import schedules from Aoki, EiBi, and
FCC AM web sites and display that schedule data according to the
filter criteria they specify. A list box lets users switch between the
schedules at will. And, depending on the schedule type, users can
filter schedule information by band, frequency, station, country,
city, state, time of day, language, antenna direction, and target
area. When the What’s On Now? function is activated, the schedule
refreshes automatically at the top of each hour for Aoki and EiBi
schedules.

For each schedule item, Schedule Checker queries the Reception Log X
database to let users know – by means of user-defined, foreground and
background display colors – whether they need to monitor a station for
a brand-new or verified country. Schedule Checker also displays
bearing and distance, runs Ham CAP propagation predictions and DX
Atlas azimuth plots, tunes supported radios to schedule frequencies
when double-clicking schedule items, and starts log entries for
scheduled stations.

• Last Log Entries Grid — Located on the Reception Log window, the
grid shows up to 5000 of the most recent log entries added. Its
records can be sorted, and double-clicking records displays detailed
data on the Reception Log window.

Users can resize the grid columns and scroll horizontally to columns
that do not appear initially. But because the names of stations and
NASWA countries can be quite long, users can also display a larger,
resizable Last Log Entries window. A Properties dialog box lets users
change the order of columns, the number of log entries to display, and
the foreground and background colors and font attributes of grid
headings and data rows system-wide.

• Reception Reports — Users can create customized paper and e-mail
reception reports plus club report entries for reporting catches to
clubs and magazines.

• Social Media Posting — When users add or display a log entry,
Reception Log X prepares a post announcing their DX catch and displays
it on the Social Media Post tab. From there, users can drag the post
to their favorite social media web site(s) to share their catch with
others.

Using the Script Editor window, users can create and edit social media
scripts that format social media posts to their liking. A browse
button lets users select the script they want to use. Three scripts
come with Reception Log X.

• Direct Print SWL and Address Labels — Users can prepare SWL and
Address labels for direct output to their printers, and print labels
one-at-a-time or in any number up to the maximum number of labels on
each page of label stock.

• Rig Control — Retrieves the frequency and mode from supported radios
and permits tuning from the Schedule Checker and Reception Log
windows.

• Multimedia Features — An embedded Audio facility lets users maintain
an audio archive of stations heard. An integrated QSL Imaging™
facility lets users scan, display, and explore QSL and e-QSL images.

• Performance Reporting — Produces reports that track the performance
of the user’s monitoring station, and lets users FTP those reports to
user-provided Web space for remote access. Reports integrate with DX
Atlas to generate pin maps.

• Support for Monitoring Amateur Radio Operators — Users can retrieve
call sign and address information for monitored hams from optional Web
services (HamQTH.com, Buckmaster™ HamCall™, and QRZ XML Logbook Data)
and send automatic eQSL requests to monitored hams via www.eQSL.cc.

• Documentation — Includes on-line Help and a Getting Started Guide.
