DX ToolBox updated
« on: December 26, 2014, 2221 UTC »
An important update for DX Toolbox have been released, to handle the changes that the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, has made to data on their website that the app uses.

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

The Mac an Windows versions can be downloaded from here http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/ham-shortwave-radio-propagation-software.html

And the iPad / iPhone version from here: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=492113368&mt=8&at=11lb5X
