DX Toolbox - Shortwave / Ham Radio / HF Radio Propagation
DX Toolbox searches the web for you, gathering information on solar and geomagnetic conditions
that affect radio propagation. It also features several propagation forecasting tools,
allowing you to quickly and easily estimate current HF (Shortwave) propagation conditions between
any two locations in the world.
It's ideal for the ham radio operator, shortwave listener, or
other radio enthusiast, and is available for Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Windows.
A version is also available for the
iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch

DX ToolBox has dozens of windows providing a wealth of important information about
current and forecasted radio, solar, and geomagnetic conditions. Take a look at some
DX Toolbox screenshots to see just a few of them. Or better yet,
download a free copy
to try out.
It displays in real-time the following important readings:
Graphs of x-ray flux readings from the GOES satellites may also be displayed.
A grayline map of the world is also available. Radio propagation between locations within the
grayline region of the world is often greatly enhanced. DX Toolbox's grayline map makes
it easy for you to determine where those locations are. Grayline propagation has been used
by expert ham radio operators and DXers for years to catch elusive stations.
You can have the location of the currently transmitting NCDXF/IARU beacon displayed on the
map as well. These beacons are run by ham radio operators around the world, and can be used
to determine radio propagation conditions between your location and that part of the world.
You can also plot the great circle (both short and long) path between your location and another
station, and compute distance, as well as the beam heading.
Radio propagation conditions can also be estimated between two points on the Earth.
21 maps of current D Layer Absorption levels are available for display
A database of over 12,000 SWBC (shortwave broadcast) transmissions can be displayed and searched.
The third party app SdrDx
can be controlled via the SWBC Schedules window. Just double click on a
transmission, and SdrDx will be changed to that frequency.
Likewise, tune in a station on SdrDx, and the SWBC Schedules window will automatically update to
show all possible stations that you could be listening to, with transmissions currently on the
air highlighted in bold.
Grid square locations may be determined, as well as looked up on a map, which also shows the world's time zones.
Maps showing auroral levels, as well as the maximum F layer frequency (related to MUF)
over various parts of the world are also displayed. Real-time images of the Sun from the SOHO
satellite are also available.
You can also connect to your favorite DX Cluster, to read and send DX tips in real time.
The following radio propagation reports and forecasts are available:
Be sure to read our
HF Shortwave Radio Propagation Information
tutorial for information about how shortwave propagation works.
DX Toolbox is available for Macintosh OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7.
DX Toolbox requires an active internet connection while it is running for accessing most
data; propagation forecasting can be done "off-line".
Before buying, you should download a copy and make sure it works on your particular configuration.
In addition, the last month's worth of Solar Flux, A-Index, K-Index, Sun Spot Number,
and background X-Ray Flux are plotted. Audio alerts can be generated when solar flares,
aurora, or disturbed geomagnetic conditions exist or are likely.
