I have tried twice to make the transition to DXLab. I agree with Doug that the support is incredible, but each time I returned to DX4WIN, frustrated with my inability to make DXLab work for me.

DXLab is too complex, too "all things to all people", and takes up too darned much screen space when providing me the minimum information I want. For example, to know the azimuth to a station that you want to call, you have to have an additional component of the suite open, beyond the log. To receive a spot, know the azimuth, and log a station you must have 4 components open (including the DXLab Launcher, SpotCollector, DXKeeper and DXView).

While there a few things I would like changed in DX4WIN, the support provided by AD1C and others is superb. If and when KK4HD stops updating DX4WIN, I'll look around again, but I doubt I'll go back to DXL:ab unless there is a massive change in philosophy.

The support is incredible! Take a look at the forum on Yahoo Groups:

Take a look at DXLab Suite which does every thing you want and is free.

I’m looking for a new General Purpose logging program, Windows OS.

Doesn’t need to be free, but need good author support.

The following are “off my list” for various reasons --- Logger32, CommCat, and HRD.

User interface should be simple/straightforward.

Program must work with my rig (FTDX-5000), keep track of basic awards like DXCC, WAZ, etc.

Must interface with QRZ and LoTW. Must do ADIF import of logs from other programs.

Beyond that, not looking for bloated elegance.

Suggestions?
