I use DX Labs and am spoiled.

I can click on a spot, DX labs shows me the long and short path degrees from my Qth. I can click on either LP or SP and my rotor controller (Green Heron RT-21) rotates my beam.

Also, it would be nice to see spots in different colors. Needed entities in red or yellow, something bright vs other spots. Also show what bands I need to work them on, what’s been confirmed on LOTW vs what has been worked but not confirmed.

I find I’m missing those features a lot.

Otherwise I’m pretty impressed as I use it more.

@W1AST

All of these are on our list. We are currently working on a major overhaul of the spotting tab/network that will be released in the coming weeks. We plan to add rotator control to the desktop and integrations app as well.

Thanks & 73

Thank you @W1AST for this great feedback 🙏🏻 we will get this done as fast as possible!

WRL shows you the short path today, but we don’t have long path or rotor control yet!

Great. I use LP fairly often lately. It’s handy to have the options.

I’ve only been playing with WRL for 2 days. So I’ll see what else I miss from DXL.

Thanks for the fast and excellent support!
