Spot 1.9.10 Released on 14 February 2009.
This release is a bug release, fixing a collection of bugs reported over the past month. One major change is the removal of the automatic update feature. The library I was using did not work as well as I wanted and I felt it was annoying people so it has been removed. I will be re-writing this function over the next few weeks.

DXBase 2007 DXCluster interface
DXbase provides a DXCluster interface to keep you in constant touch with what's happening on the air, whether using a telnet-based DXCluster or a local vhf one. No other software is needed. The telnet and vhf interfaces function independently in their own sub windows and can be used simultaneously. Each has it's own user options for specifying unique sound files for alerting you when DX spots come in for countries that you need. Each DXCluster window can be easily customized to allow resizing and screen positioning to suite your needs. Colors and fonts can be modified and you can use the toolbar magnifying button to enlarge or reduce the size of the print instantly.
DXbase provides a combined Spots window shown above where all spots from both sources can be stored in your database.
