About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Ads removed so update from 1 star to 4 star. Would like to support the dev through a paid ad-free version.

Does this app allow you to listen to anything or is it just some dumb thing that tells you who's broadcasting and where they're located at and that's it if so I'm going to delete it.

Well this was a waste you can see whos on but cant click and listen how lame
