Description
Find the DX. DX Cluster Lite shows you, in real time, which amateur radio stations are being heard around the world — pulled live from the public DX cluster network and sorted by band.
Whether you're chasing a new DXCC entity, watching a band open, or just curious what's active right now, tap a band and see the latest 50 DX spots: who was heard, on what frequency, by whom, and from where.
WHAT YOU GET
• Live DX spots by band — 160m through 70cm, plus an "All bands" view. The list auto-refreshes on an interval you choose. • Worldwide context at a glance — each spot is resolved to its DXCC country with a country flag, continent, CQ and ITU zones, and QSL status where known. • Spot details — open any spot for the full picture: DX callsign, frequency, spotter and spotter country, UTC time, and the comment, with one-tap links to Google Maps / OpenStreetMap and a QRZ or HamQTH callbook lookup. • Tune your radio over Bluetooth (CAT) — connect a paired Yaesu FT-817ND, FT-857D or FT-897D and tap "Jump to Frequency" to QSY the rig straight to a spot, with a haptic buzz to confirm. No need to glance at the screen in the field. • Your choice of data source — browse the web sources HamQTH or DXSummit with no login required, or connect to a DX-Spider Telnet node using your callsign / SWL. • Built for HAMs and SWLs in the field — keep the screen on while you operate, big readable rows, optional country flags, and a layout that adapts to phones and tablets.
FREE AND NO ADS, TIPS ARE WELCOME DX Cluster Lite is free and contains no advertising. If it earns a place on your rig, there's an optional tip jar inside — entirely voluntary, and it unlocks nothing. The app works fully whether or not you ever tip.
WHO IT'S FOR Licensed radio amateurs and shortwave listeners (SWLs) who want a fast, no-fuss way to watch the bands from a phone or tablet — at the operating desk, portable, SOTA/POTA, or away from the shack.
A NOTE ON CALLSIGNS You do not need a callsign or login to browse spots from the web sources (HamQTH, DXSummit). A valid amateur callsign or SWL name is only required if you choose to connect through a DX-Spider Telnet node, which logs in with your call.
