Background:
The DXD may be controlled automatically by several of the available contesting programs. While K1EA's CT does not use a configuration file, others, such as K8CC's NA, N6TR's TRLog, and W5XD's WriteLog, require that a configuration file or settings be modified to work properly with the DXD.
The following configuration file excerpts or setting data are from users who have used the DXD successfully with the indicated logging program.
Below is an excerpt from my TR-Log config file for using the DX Doubler with a pair of Icom IC-765 radios.
