digital software

[Tony Estep]

I've used MixW for 7 years, and always been happy with it. However, I'd
like to learn from those who have used other similar software.

Here's what I use MixW for: It maintains my log, transmits/receives CW,
RTTY and PSK, serves as a voice keyer, figures antenna headings and puts
them on a display, and has a cluster interface that puts the calls of
posted stations on the bandmap/waterfall. It allows extensive macro
programming. It has other capabilities but those are the ones I use.

I have visited the websites of a number of other programs looking for one
with all the same functionality, but I'm not finding it. I'd be grateful
for suggestions.

73,

Tony,

I use DXLabs.  I works just great with the K3 and you can configure macro
command buttons AND SLIDERS for variable controls.  I have tried just about
every program I can find and for me at least DXLabs is the best...AND...it
is free.

You download the Launcher program and from that you can tell it to download
and install the various modules (Commander, DXView, DXKeeper, Pathfinder,
Propview and WinWarbler).  You can run one or any of the modules at the
same time.  The support is just great from Dave, AA6YQ, and the DXL
reflector.

Give it a try...if you don't like it, just remove the programs.

Thanks, Greg. I'm looking at its website. Does the spot window make a band
map, i.e. put the calls of spotted stations on the waterfall? If it does, I
can't see it on their website.

Try fldigi.  It works with pskreporter for digimode spots.
It has beam headings in it, and extensive macro facilities.
I have a macro which rotates my antenna and another which sets my steppir, as I don't use the auto-follow feature.

fldigi runs on Win/Lin/Mac.
