I have been using DX4Win since the early 1990s first versions and have updated many times. The latest Updater to update all parameters is a joy to use and thanks to whoever wrote the software. Over the years I have suggested a few changes some of which have been implemented. It is my belief that any paid for program should reflect the current usage requirements.
Clearly, the demands of internet, data integration with our station hardware and the current revolution in QSLing should have meant that DX4Win would have been updated a few times over the past few years. DX4Win seems to have stagnated with Version 8.05. In my mind it is falling behind in features for the user. DX4Win is a great program and works very well for me but the bottom line is that needs to be updated. I don't know why it isn't being worked on. I made the decision last month to research other logging programs with a download and trial. Most of the them are either too limited in features or too overblown and hard to learn. All of them will not print directly onto a QSL card which is a major requirement for me as I QSL several callsigns. I don't do labels! The one that seems to come close to DX4Win is Prolog. I quite like it's operation and have ordered a copy to try. It seems to have all the features I need and is constantly being updated. I will post again in a few weeks to let you know my experience with it. *73, Lee ZL2AL* ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
