#6 Dr DX allowed you to change your location, so you could work different places of the world.

Oh yes, I've spent many hours on flights with Morse Runner.  Morse Runner
is a great pileup trainer.  But, Dr. DX did at several things that Morse
Runner didn't do:

#1 Dr DX allowed you to change bands - simulating different condition
periods (you're not going to be working much DX from W3 at noon on 160).
#2 Similar to point #1, Dr. DX allowed you to actually tune the band -
honing your S&P technique
#3 Dr DX allowed you to change your power levels which affects your ability
to S&P versus run
#4 Dr DX allowed for actual paddle inputs via a RCA jack in the rear of the
hardware cartridge
#5 I -think- Doctor DX tended to simulate operator preferences like you
find in CQWW (slower hams as you get higher in the band, speed demons down
low).

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Alex's program (except the LIDS).  The
background noise and thunder static sounds spot on, but the mystique of the
AEA program was the encapsulation of band changes, Videos, and the like.

Have you tried MorseRunner from VE3NEA? That’s how I used to spend my time
on airplane trips....when we made trips.

It has all of the sounds that you will hear from a real radio. Can even
include LIDs.


tnx

Perusing the internet, I came across one of those Commodore 64 game
emulator sites.  This one claims to have a working conversion version of
Doctor DX!

Anyone want to take it for a spin?  Obviously without a port for paddles,
its a but different.......

Still waiting for someone to develop a WIN version of Doctor DX.
