DX-Buddy - Radio software for Windows, Linux and OS X
Using a computer while listening to shortwave has many benefits. No matter if you are a shortwavelistener or a radioamateur - very often you use a PC for it. So did I. It was not always fun when a program was lacking functions. Or sometimes things worked quite the other way and not as expected. Most of all uwith windows and would not run under Linux or OS X.I could not use it there.

That has changed now!

DX-Buddy is a little helper that works on all three platforms. And does quite a lot. He helps to identify radiostations and he helps you to find a station that transmits right now in Spanish or Africaans.

DX-Buddy knows utility-stations as well and helps you while searching and finding. It is a pity that he can not decode those transmissions. But in windows DX-Buddy likes to work together with MultiPSK. Then working with digital signals is fun.

Of course a real Buddy takes care of 'minor' matters like propagation and works with a worldmap. He can memorize stations with many parameters.

You may get some impressions with the pictures below, which shows screenshots from OS X and Windows. But do not fear: Linux works as well.

The number of RIGs DX-Buddy can control is increasing. All a RIG needs to have is a CAT-port.

And... if there is a rotator hidden beneath your antenna - DX-Buddy takes care of it, too.

Try it ... you may become addicted! ;-)
