See modeled path, SNR, distance, and published transmitter data.
See the schedule. Understand the path. Hear the world.
Find broadcastsworth hearing.
DXLens turns shortwave schedules into a focused listening workflow: reconcile the sources, understand the path, inspect the forecast, and move to a compatible global receiver.

One coherent workflow
From “what is on?” to “where can I listen?”
Each stage answers a different question. DXLens keeps the published facts, modeled context, and receiver session visibly distinct.
01
Reconcile the schedules
Read EiBi, Aoki, and HFCC together without hiding the source evidence.
Explore →02Choose an On Air view
Use Merged, Aligned, Outlook, Chances, or build a Custom workflow.
Explore →03Inspect the evidence
Open path geometry, forecast factors, model assumptions, and space weather.
Explore →04Open a receiver
Use a compatible public KiwiSDR or a saved personal RTL-TCP receiver, then tune in a focused listening workspace.
Explore →Search without guesswork
Find the station, frequency, language, or source already in mind.
Search is a direct route into the schedule, not a decorative field. Results retain the same source labels, timing, and listening actions used throughout DXLens.
- Search stations and exact frequencies
- Narrow by country, language, band, and schedule source
- Open the complete broadcast record without losing context
- Move from a result into alerts, details, or listening
Schedule truthThree schedule sources.
Three schedule sources.
One readable working view.
DXLens reconciles EiBi, Aoki, and HFCC while leaving their names on the record. Agreement is useful evidence; a conflict is something to inspect, not something to hide.

On Air
Five views. Five useful questions.
Stop forcing every listening decision through one list.
Broadcast details
One broadcast. The complete picture.
A schedule card opens into a transparent listening workspace: verify what is published, see where it is aimed, inspect the forecast method, and understand the assumptions before tuning.
- UTC schedule, station identity, language, band, target, and service
- Interactive path with distance, bearings, transmitter power, and azimuth
- Reception prospect, reliability, modeled SNR, and limiting evidence
- Direct access to compatible Global SDR receivers
Evidence on demand
Inspect how the recommendation was produced.
Forecast outputs, source comparison, assumptions, and technical confidence remain separate so the listener can understand what supports—or limits—the result.
Sources
Compare schedule and technical evidence without silent averaging.
Audit
Keep confidence dimensions, assumptions, and path outputs inspectable.
Custom views
Build a tab that listens the way you do.
A Custom view is not a temporary filter. It is a reusable destination with its own identity and rules, available beside the primary On Air views.
- Choose a name, SF Symbol, and color
- Combine schedule, path, forecast, and space-weather rules
- Add exclusions and select the final ordering
- Create multiple views and keep them in your chosen order
Personal, repeatable, editable
Custom views go far beyond a saved search.
Build around languages, bands, transmitters, distance, beam geometry, modeled reliability, space weather, exclusions, and ordering—then duplicate or rearrange the result.
Focused alerts
Be ready when the listening window opens.
Create alerts for an exact broadcast period, a station across periods, a station and frequency, or a frequency itself. Regional and space-weather conditions remain independently controlled.
Exact periodStationFrequencyLanguageSpace weather
DXLens Labs
Move beyond the result and inspect the environment behind it.
Five laboratories keep schedule activity, ionospheric evidence, RF environment, reception paths, and model auditing distinct but connected.
01
Band Activity
Compare active schedules by band, time scope, season, and selected bands without describing schedule density as measured signal strength.
02Ionosphere
Read layered ionospheric support, recent space-weather events, recovery context, and NASA/NOAA evidence quality.
03RF Environment
Inspect scheduled occupancy, shared frequencies, conflicts, quiet windows, and mapped environmental context.
04Path Atlas
Explore direction, distance, illumination, modeled reliability, bearings, and side-by-side paths.
05Model Audit
Follow inputs, coverage, assumptions, validation, external evidence, and the explicit boundary of the model.
NASA DONKI + NOAA context
Read space weather without turning it into a reception promise.
Recent solar activity, geomagnetic conditions, absorption context, recovery state, evidence age, and operational boundaries are labeled separately. NASA events provide context; NOAA observations remain authoritative for current conditions.

Reception Logbook
Keep the receptions that became real.
A forecast describes a prospect. The reception report records what actually happened, together with receiver, antenna, ratings, notes, and the model context captured at listening time.
- Heard, not heard, or uncertain outcome
- Signal, readability, stability, and interference ratings
- Receiver, antenna, installation, and freeform notes
- Optional precise location and shareable report image
Global SDR
Know which receiver path you are opening.
For public KiwiSDR, DXLens checks frequency coverage, availability, load, connection quality, distance, and reliability. Personal RTL-TCP uses the host, HF profile, and performance settings you saved on your device.
- Public KiwiSDR coverage and live availability
- Personal RTL-TCP host and RF profile
- Transparent receiver context
- Direct access to the listening session
Native listening studio
Stay focused after the receiver connects.
The broadcast, receiver, signal, tuning controls, recordings, and connection state remain inside one coherent session.
