| | A word from the founders | Dear Readers, Welcome to the twelfth edition of our newsletter! We’re thrilled to have you with us as we continue to explore the fascinating world of amateur radio together. As always, your passion and engagement inspire us to push the boundaries of what we can achieve. This week, we’re particularly excited to share a sneak peek into something special we’ve been working on—a new e-book dedicated to FT8 and FT4 digital modes. These modes have been revolutionizing the way we connect, and we’ve poured our knowledge and experience into creating a guide that we believe will be an invaluable resource for both newcomers and seasoned operators alike. We’ll be revealing more details throughout our newsletters, so stay tuned. We’re eager to hear your thoughts and look forward to bringing you even more exciting content in the future. We hope you have a great week and enjoy what we have in store for you!
Piero and Franco Pirrone,
EasyLog Founders

| This week we are presenting the third way to display the DX-spots this mode can coexist with DX-List or Panel Cluster. | | | To open the DX Hunter view mode, just click on the DX Hunter button on the right of the DX-Cluster area. On the left of the EasyLog main windows it appears the DX Hunter window. | | |  |
|
| | | The spots are painted in the exact frequency of the scale and are colored with the DXCC award status color. By clicking a DX Spot, you will set frequency and mode of the TRX. | Click on the color icon to know the color codes used by EasyLog | | | The DX Hunter shows the spot on a vertical frequency scale and divides the spot per band. So click on the band you want, to see only the DX stations spotted in that band. |  | You can change the font size (3.) and zoom slider (2.) to accomodate a better vision of he scale and to use the splitter (1.) to adjust the width of the DX-Hunter window. Also, clicking on a frequency on the scale sets the frequency on the RTX. |

| A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR I am delighted to share that I have just received authors, the first complete draft of our next ebook. It's an exciting time for all of us, and I couldn't wait to dive into it. As I read this book, I was struck by the wealth of knowledge and ideas it contains. The authors put all their heart to work on this project. I asked them what they think of their new book and what they are proud of. They replied: "In this ebook, we aim to present information on a topic, whose basic concepts we recognize as can be rather complex. We deliberately chose to use simple language to make the content accessible to all, while ensuring that technical information remains accurate and reliable. ” By seeing what they have written and hearing them tell me about it, I am convinced that this ebook will be a valuable resource for any amateur radio, whether you are a beginner or looking to deepen your experience. I can't wait to hear how this will help each of you improve your experiences with digital modes. Stay with us for more updates and thank you for being part of this journey with us! Best regards, |
