DXbase
for Windows® places customer feedback as the driving
force behind all of the feature additions and modifications that go into each release.
Woodstock, GA - August 17, 2006 -
DXbase 2007 for Microsoft Windows adds more feature
functionality and flexibility to make your logging experience
easier and more enjoyable. Now you can benefit from
automatic IOTA alerts based on incoming DX spots that contain
IOTA information in the spot. If you interface two
radios or two rotors with DXbase, you will now be able to
click on the QSY column of a DX spot and DXbase will
automatically select the proper radio and rotor based on your
bandplan mapping entries. After you work the needed DX
spot, you can add this spot to the new Exclude table by simply
right clicking on the spot. By doing this, you can keep
your DX alert options as they are but anytime this
call/band/mode is spotted, it will be excluded from alerts and
a new indicator will appear beside that DX spot. DXCC
Challenge results are displayed in numeric statistics, partial
call finds are available in the previous QSO module, Automatic
locking of DX spot windows is available when your mouse enters
those windows, and much more. Great care has been taken
to preserve as many of your previous DXbase 2006
options/colors/ etc.. so that upgrading from DXbase 2006 is as
simple as ever without the need to reset all your user
options. We think you'll enjoy the new features and the
ease of use.
Woodstock, GA - May 1, 2005 -
Scientific Solutions has once again taken logging software
functionality to higher standards. This offering
culminates a total review of customer input for improving
"ease of use" in DXbase. We've focused on
nearly every aspect of the software and in each case made
things easier. We've totally redesigned the process for
defining your own field order in the QSO log, added easy to
use backup processes, included the means to fill in data from
your address CDrom, and made compacting/repairing your
database as easy as a couple mouse clicks. We've added
new QSO fields in the log and expanded on some others.
Awards modules have all been updated to current award program
standards and we have enhanced the DX alerting mechanisms to
give you a greater level of control. Dozens of new
standard reports have been added and your old favorites have
been enhanced. In the words of our lead beta tester,
"This release has taken nearly every customer comment
into account and made things better." We think
you'll agree that DXbase just keeps getting better and
continues to set the pace for the best logging software on the
market.
Woodstock, GA - April 29, 2004 -
Scientific Solutions is pleased to once again answer the
requests of our customers with release of DXbase 2005.
This release expands significantly our support of the ARRL's
LoTW process by providing dozens of new LoTW oriented standard
reports, direct import of the LoTW ADIF file from ARRL, and
new QSO field for recording confirmation date tracking.
We've expanded statistical tracking throughout DXbase to
handle the evolving Awards programs that are beginning to now
offer "digital" awards separate from the traditional
"RTTY" award. Operating CW under the Microsoft
Windows architecture becomes more economical through the
support of the Winkey external CW board by K1EL. This
inexpensive addition allows for the sending of perfect
uninterrupted CW under Microsoft Windows. Add new dual
band plan mapping allowing you to switch from normal operation
to contest band plans, new color coded entries in the DX Info
packet need module, improved user designed label and report
module, and you have the most advanced logging software on the
market today. Check
out some of the new features or view the screen shots in
the products section of this site.

for accepting ADIF input. Support has been added for two HF radios as
well as two rotors using a separate serial port for each. Just click an ICON on the screen to
switch them. We've expanded the upper bands that are
tracked and we've added a number of standard reports to tell
you all about them. The label/report design module has
been substantially enhanced and gives you an even easier interface for
making your own QSL cards, labels, and reports. Many of
the existing features have been improved such as the QSL info
window, SWL confirming, radio interface performance, DX Info,
and more.

the world of Amateur radio logging software.
Woodstock, GA - April 21, 2001 - Once again, Scientific Solutions
has demonstrated our dedication to customer focus with the introduction of DXbase 2002 for
Microsoft Windows. DXbase 2002 is by far the largest upgrade ever offered for DXbase
for Windows. It comprises most of the feature requests received over the past
year. To accomodate the many great ideas and suggestions, we began our development
cycle much earlier than usual and we set our goal to be the inclusion of as many feature requests as we could. We are pleased to announce
that we met our goal and have accomodated 99 percent of the requests that were made.
We also expanded our beta test period which allows us to be more confident than ever that
DXbase 2002 will perform solid as a rock. DXbase 2002 is clearly the most
comprehensive package ever offered and it surpasses virtually every logging software
product on the market including our past releases.
Woodstock, GA - April 29, 2000 - For the third consecutive year,
DXbase for Windows® customers played a major role in deciding the content for this latest
evolution in logging software. Jim Lennox, Technical Lead, for this release said,
"We frequently find ourselves amazed at the level of detail provided by our customers
when they submit requests for enhancements. Knowing the "big story" is
often times the real factor in whether features are designed complete or if they lack
something". We are very pleased with DXbase 2001 as we
bring a new standard for reliability and feature rich software to today's ham radio
market. We are very aware of costs and thus we are pleased that this years upgrade
could be offered at last years prices.
Woodstock, GA May 2, 1999 DXbase for Windows®
customers had the opportunity to play a major role in deciding the content of DXbase
2000®. Surveys were provided to existing customers who were asked to provide their
input about what should be added or changed in DXbase 2000® during the early development
process. This input was taken very seriously at Scientific Solutions and the results
are impressive. Said Jack Lennox, President and CEO, "This clearly has made our
customers delighted and it simply demonstrates our commitment to delivering true customer
satisfaction". Its been a Win Win for everyone. Customer complaints are
rare and the feedback is highly complimentary. Most customers report that they can't
imagine how DXbase 2000® can be made any better. Its been rewarding for Scientific
Solutions Inc. too with record sales in all corners of the world.
Continuing, Jack said that there were basically three themes expressed in the surveys.
Customers wanted more content in the help files and they wanted it to be easier to find
information. We responded by including a brand new State of the Art help engine
appropriately called the "Windows® 2000 Help Engine" and we expanded the
content to cover virtually every aspect of the software. They told us that they
wanted some of the features to be easier to use and we responded. Replying to bureau
QSL cards has never been easier and our new one button click allows a user to mark the QSO
confirmed, store a label for printing, and populate the date the card was received all at
once. They wanted some new features and so we packed over 100 new or improved
capabilities into DXbase 2000®. All this, at a very reasonable price. Someone
once said, "If you build the best product and sell it at a reasonable price, people
will buy it and be delighted". Nothing could be more true and we're delighted
with the relationship between Scientific Solutions, Inc. and our customers.
