Tips & Tricks

Search in the DX-List

Did you know that you can search for text in all fields of the DX-List? Click on the magnifying glass button as shown in the image below and type the text you want to search for. An icon in the shape of a magnifying glass will appear next to the found text. The search is performed automatically on all columns.

When the text appears in multiple locations, you can use the arrow button next to the search field to navigate through all the found entries. This is helpful for verifying if a station is on-air or checking a specific diploma reference, among other things.

DX-List ordering

Did you know that you can sort the DX-List in real time by clicking on the column titles? Clicking a second time changes the sorting from ascending to descending.

This option allows you to sort the Spots and, together with the search function, it is very powerful for finding specific spots. For example, if you sort by the UTC column in descending order, the latest spots will always be displayed at the top; if you sort by b, the spots will be sorted by frequency. By clicking on the LoTW column, all the spots of stations registered to LoTW will be displayed in a block; similarly, if you sort by callsign (CALL), all the spots will be sorted by spotted station or spotting station if you click on DX de. The arrival of a new spot will follow the active order, automatically inserting itself in the right place according to the active order. 

It is possible to sort by all columns

✅ We now have an entire chapter dedicated to the Fox and Hound mode with step-by-step setup instructions

✅ Introduced a new chapter on Superfox with step-by-step instructions on how to set it up and use it effectively

✅ Added a new chapter on MSHV the third software in chronological order for working in FT8/FT4 with detailed configuration instructions.

This manual has already become a reference for many radio amateurs: strategies, techniques, and practical advice in a single guide. Make it yours for only €9.95 and take your operations to the next level!

Readers' Testimonials

"This evening I read the guide on FT8 and FT4 that I purchased for 10 euros. Despite using this technology for a long time, I must say that the manual is really well done and absolutely indispensable for beginners: clear, comprehensive, and capable of explaining all the fundamental aspects.

Even for those, like me, who already have experience, it still offers some interesting technical insights, with small useful tips to verify and explore further. Overall, I believe the 10 euros were well spent. The only suggestion I feel like giving would be to expand the section related to spectrum configuration and perhaps integrate information on emerging new software, especially those used in expeditions.

A guide I truly recommend to anyone interested in these digital modes!
