DX ToolBox (Classic)

DX Toolbox searches the web for you, gathering information on solar and geomagnetic conditions that affect radio propagation. It also contains several propagation forecasting tools.

It displays in real-time the following important readings:

• Solar Flux
• A-Index
• K-Index
• X-Ray Flux levels
• X-Ray flares
• Solar Wind
• Earth's Magnetic Field
• Radio Blackout conditions
• Geomagnetic Storm conditions
• Solar Radiation Storm conditions

In addition, the last month's worth of Solar Flux, A-Index, K-Index, Sun Spot Number, and background X-Ray Flux are plotted.

Maps showing auroral levels, as well as the maximum F layer frequency (related to MUF) over various parts of the world are also displayed.

A grayline map of the world is displayed

Propagation conditions can also be estimated between two points on the Earth.

DX grid locations can be calculated, as well as located on a world map.

What is new in this release:

• Better parsing of x-ray flux data.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if no location was chosen in one of the three propagation path forecasting windows.
