Are you a ham radio operator or shortwave listener, in need of up to date propagation information and solar conditions? DX Toolbox features several propagation forecasting tools, allowing you to quickly and easily estimate current HF (Shortwave) propagation conditions between any two locations in the world, and is ideal for the ham radio operator, shortwave listener, or other radio enthusiast.

Radio propagation conditions can also be estimated between any two points on the Earth. Graphs of these conditions can be generated for a given frequency or time, and MUF/LUF graphs can also be displayed.

A grayline map of the world is also available. Radio propagation between locations within the grayline region of the world is often greatly enhanced. DX Toolbox's grayline map makes it easy for you to determine where those locations are. Grayline propagation has been used by expert radio operators and DXers for years to catch elusive stations. A plot the great circle (both short and long) path between your location and another station is also displayed, as well as the beam heading and distance. The location of the currently transmitting NCDXF/IARU beacon can be displayed on the map as well.

The propagation map displays the areas of the world where your signal can be heard (or a signal can be heard from), based on the frequency, transmitter power, and current solar flux, date, and time.

Maps showing ionosonde plots of foF2, foEs, and hmF2 data from various locations around the world are available. The MUF and skip zone can be calculated based on foF2 and hmF2 values.

Aurora prediction maps for the northern and southern hemisphere are available.

DX Toolbox displays the following important solar and geomagnetic readings:

Solar Flux
A-Index
K-Index
Sun Spot Number
X-Ray Flux levels
X-Ray flares

DX Toolbox App Comments & Reviews

DX Toolbox Positive Reviews

Almost perfectThis is a wonderful tool at a great price. I’m glad I found this app. To make this app even better, I think there should be an option near each parameter where I can tap for tips and definitions. I’m a newbie at this stuff, and it would be great to get in-app help regarding, say, how to interpret the A index, or whether a solar flux of 70 is good or bad, for example. Also, a dark mode would be fantastic..Version: 1.5

Great appThis app is very useful for planning DX contacts. Interested in reaching a specific geographic location on a specific frequency? You can check to find the optimum time to do so. Are you interested in contacting them NOW? This app helps you determine which band will give you the best results. I’m still learning the app, but it’s already very useful to me..Version: 1.5

Useful & Well DocumentedThis App is a good iPad tool. It saves me a lot of knob spinning listening for which bands would be good to operate and which locations I might be able to reach. More specifically I can see whether or not to work QRP. I would appreciate a Settings field to optionally display kilometers or miles. Also a Windows App would be very nice. Good job overall..Version: 1.5

Solar image supportWith latest IOS update solar images no longer work or are coincidentally no longer a available. Great app other wise..Version: 1.5

Not a bad app in the lot.I'm enjoying the info and was able to enter two locations where I SWL to. I set the watts to max and got a picture of good times to listen. This is with little knowledge of propagation..Version: 1.5

Some data issuesThis app hasn’t been updated in a long time and I’ve noticed that the solar data it uses isn’t up-to-date. That causes the calls to be wrong. I’d love to see the developer update the software connection to the data sources. Thanks..Version: 1.5

Works great.I use this app quite a bit, mostly to just check space weather, but occasionally for point to point propagation predictions . The only added thing I'd want is something like VOAAREA..Version: 1.2.0

A Must-have...The iPad version is extremely useful, especially when mobile Dxing. Love it..Version: 1.5

DX ToolboxHandy propagation display. Lots of useful information and radio applications instantly available at almost anywhere..Version: 1.5

Beautiful, worth every penny and then some.Thank you for making this great app. There is so much here. MUF, detailed solar conditions, maps, DX spot reports, and more. Perfect for DX-ing. -n0xmz.Version: 1.5

Great ToolDX Toolbox works very well. There was an issue with the Aurora because NOAA changed something, the author fixed it right away. Great support. Thanks.Version: 1.5

Really like this app.Very comprehensive set of tools for understanding propagation..Version: 1.5

2021. Woefully outdated.Needs an updated. Wonky interface, requiring tapping through rows, unsaved settings, strange UX. Please update..Version: 1.5

MehContains some handy information, but nothing you can't get from other sources using a web browser. The user interface needs A LOT of work; leaving the program and coming back starts you at the main page again, no access to internal GPS for obtaining coordinates, creating "Custom Locations" rotates your screen whether you want it or not, etc..Version: 1.0.1

Promising - but frustratingPromises to be useful - only it's unstable (crashes repeatedly). I'm using an iPad Air 2 with iOS 10.2. Were it not for the crashes, I'd have rated it 5-Stars - for the comprehensiveness and innovativeness..Version: 1.4.0

The "Go-To" appIt only gets better. If you like something different, ask..Version: 1.3

Great Sun App!This is one of the best Sun App that is out there for Apple IOS. Has practically everything to follow the Sun and helps for Ham Radio..Version: 1.3.1

Great AppThis app is great and has really helped me get a tactical edge on my QRP operations. It is my go to app when using my KX3..Version: 1.1.0

Great app for Hams and shortwave monitorsPretty much everything you need is here..Version: 1.1.0

Propagation for Time Calc CrashesLooks pretty good so far. The Propagation for Time calculation crashes the app hard every time I attempt to use it..Version: 1.0.0

Great for someone learningI started keying when I was 13 years old I will be 51 this year but I never gotten this serious about amateur radio, my past experiences enabled me to pickup very quickly on this app and I find the propagation map to be extremely accurate for all frequencies, I tested the map trajectory on frequency 27.385 LSB and I got skip from those areas the map predicted, your transmission wattage is also taken to determine proper propagation prediction from app. Get a good SWR Meter to ensure your getting out !!! Call Sign: 1771AF ( self appointed not official yet ) ch 38 LSB 27.385.Version: 1.5

Excellent apps and tech supportThis app is really appreciated and it is really helpful. I would like to mention that the tech support is also awesome. 73 de Jeff | VA2SS.Version: 1.4.0

Excellent AppAs an avid ham and shortwave listener, I can heartily recommend this app for the wealth of useful information it provides. Well done!!.Version: 1.0.1

DX ToolboxI have the PC and Mac version and while this program gives you the same technical data it takes little advantage of the iPad nor the services available in the iOS (e.g. you have to enter your Lat/Long when iOS can provide that data). It is pretty much a crude port into the iOS environment. It's saving grace is that it has all the propagation data you want to look at while contesting and DXing and the grey line chart, while crude in the context of a graphic, still portrays the data in a useful format. Combine with the iPads compact size, it is a useful addition to shack. Given this is a version 1 product, I hope to see improvements and better integration into the iOS environment.
