New Computer Line-up announced
SDR users now have four computers specifically designed and tested, component by component, for optimum performance.
A new computer designed for small operating spaces, RVs, dxpeditions, etc., is available. The Incredible Small-Form-Factor Computer has the power to run Flex-3000s and 1500s with a low power-consumption footprint.
The new "King of the Hill" is The Ultimate Op Computer. This is a crazy-powerful machine, powered by Intel's i7-3930 6-core, 12-hyperthread CPU which blows the lid off of benchmarks. Connect up to 6 monitors and know you have a machine that your son/grandson will tell his friends about!
The premium The Dx'ers Dream Computer is using the Intel i7-2600 CPU, which is the most performant versus cost processor Intel has ever produced. This dream machine will meet all of your needs for many years in the future.
A new Entry Level Computer rounds out the new line-up of SDR computers. Sporting the powerful AMD Phenom II X6 965 4-core CPU, you will comfortably drive all Flex radios at an incredible price.
All systems now use Windows 7 64 bit operating systems.

DXBase 2007 Mulitple Log Capability
DXbase stores your log in a Microsoft Access database format. This powerful database designed by Microsoft is the most widely used database engine in the world for desktop computing. We thought you might like to know that your precious QSO data is in good hands.
Some of the Features
- Create as many different QSO databases as you want.
- DXbase can prompt you at program startup to select which database you want to use.
- For convenience, you can use one database for all your different callsigns from the same geographic location and use the operator field in the QSO record to identify which callsign you used for that QSO.
- Since DXbase uses the Microsoft Access database engine, you can open your QSO data in Microsoft Access and use all the powerful features to perform any special operations that may be of interest to you. No importing required, just open it!
- DXbase lets you import and export ADIF and even allows you to set export filters so that you can export a subset of your log for special purposes.
- Unlike many other logging programs, DXbase saves your QSO to your database immediately when you click the save button. With DXbase your data is always safe and you never have to remember to save your database every so many minutes.
- You can merge two different databases into one.
