Product Announcement: DXtreme Monitor Log 11\u2122<\/h2>\n

DXtreme Software\u2122 has released a new version of its popular logging program for radio monitoring enthusiasts: DXtreme Monitor Log 11<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Monitor Log 11 lets listeners and DXers log the stations they\u2019ve heard using advanced features that can enhance their monitoring experience.<\/p>\n

Finding Broadcast Stations to Monitor<\/h3>\n

The Schedule Checker\u2122 lets users import schedules from Aoki, EiBi, and FCC\u00a0AM web sites and display schedule data according to the filter criteria they specify. A list box lets users switch between schedule types, and depending on the schedule type selected, users can filter schedule information by band, frequency, station, country, city, state, time of day, language, antenna direction, and target area.<\/p>\n

When the What\u2019s On Now?<\/em> function is activated, the schedule refreshes automatically at the top of each hour for Aoki and EiBi schedules.<\/p>\n

For each schedule item, Schedule Checker queries the Monitor Log 11 database to let users know \u2013 through user-defined, foreground and background display colors \u2013 whether they need to monitor a station for a brand-new or verified country. Schedule Checker also displays bearing and distance, runs\u00a0optional Afreet Ham CAP1 propagation predictions, draws optional Afreet DX Atlas2\u00a0azimuth plots, tunes supported radios to schedule frequencies when users double-click schedule items3 4 5, and starts log entries for scheduled stations monitored.<\/p>\n

Finding Amateur Radio Stations to Monitor<\/h3>\n

Monitor Log\u00a011 integrates with optional Afreet Band Master6 to let users see, on its graphical interface, where hams are operating. Monitor Log\u00a011 supplies Band Master with an Entity Needed List based on the user\u2019s Monitor Log database, making it possible for Band Master to indicate the stations whose entities (countries) users need to monitor. When invoking Band Master, users can select an Entity Needed List for all bands or individually for the 160- through 6-Meter bands.<\/p>\n

Finding Utility Stations to Monitor<\/h3>\n

A Links menu provides convenient access to user-specified blogs and web sites that can inform users as to where utility and other stations may be operating.
\nLogging Stations<\/p>\n

Monitor Log\u00a011 lets users log all kinds of stations \u2014 radio stations, television stations, broadcast stations, Amateur Radio stations, utility stations, military stations, and more! And it lets them log stations across the radio spectrum \u2014 from long wave, to medium wave, to short wave, and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Last Log Entries Grid on the Monitor Log window 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 Monitor Log window. Users can resize the grid columns and scroll horizontally to columns that do not appear initially. And 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 window lets users change the order of columns, the number of log entries to display, and the font and color attributes of grids and other program components, such as the Content Editor for describing the content monitored, the Script Editor for creating and editing scripts, the Direct Tune interface for tuning radios, and the Comments tab for typing ad hoc comments.<\/p>\n

Reporting Reception<\/h3>\n

Users can create customized paper and e-mail reception reports for sending to stations plus club report entries for reporting catches to clubs and magazines.<\/p>\n

When users add or display a log entry, Monitor Log 11 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 sites to share their catch with others.<\/p>\n

Using the Script Editor window, users can create and edit scripts that format reception reports, eReports, and social media posts to their liking. The software prompts users to select the script they want to use. Dozens of scripts come with Monitor Log 11.<\/p>\n

Users can also print SWL and Address labels on industry-standard label stock, and send eQSL requests to hams automatically through the popular www.eQSL.cc site.<\/p>\n

Imaging<\/h3>\n

Improv Imaging\u2122 lets users associate ad hoc images with log entries using Capture, Scan, and Clipboard functions. Captures of stations received on digital applications, waterfall displays, facsimile and Amateur TV pictures are popular. The Improv Imaging tab and Application let users view images anytime, and an Improv Image Explorer lets them peruse their entire collection and display associated log entries.<\/p>\n

QSL Imaging\u2122 functions the same as Improv Imaging, but specializes in associating QSL cards and eQSLs with log entries.<\/p>\n

Other Features<\/h3>\n

Rig Control \u2014 Retrieves the frequency and mode from supported radios and permits tuning from the Schedule Checker and Direct Tune interface. Rig control is provided through integration with Afreet Omni-Rig and the SDR applications listed on our web site, currently HDSDR4 (High Definition Software Defined Radio) and SDR Console5.<\/p>\n

Audio Archiving \u2014 An embedded Audio facility lets users maintain an audio archive of stations heard.<\/p>\n

Reporting \u2014 Produces Performance, Stations, and Log Entry reports that track the performance and progress of the user\u2019s monitoring station. The software lets users FTP those reports to user-provided Web space for remote access. Some reports integrate with Afreet DX Atlas to generate pin maps.<\/p>\n

Documentation \u2014 Context-sensitive Procedural Help, Field Help, and Microhelp are accessible per window to provide instructions quickly. A web-based Information Center is accessible from the Help menu for late-breaking assistance, and Installation Instructions and a Getting Started Guide are delivered in PDF format with the software.<\/p>\n
