iCluster is a simple and reliable DX-Cluster Telnet Client. On VHF particularily it is useful if a DX-Spot gives both Grid Locators as well as the distance.

If this is done in a consistent manner then analysis of radio propagation can be more easily carried out by both humans and computers. iCluster incorporates such consistent formatting of DX-Spots.

Here are some key features of "iCluster":
DX Spots announced by speech in phonetics (or plain).
Connect to the worldwide DX-Cluster via the Internet easily.
Calculates distance and bearing between Grid locators and sends Grid & distance.
Hot buttons to see DX-Spots on specific bands.
Both AR-Cluster and DX-Spider compatible
Show DX location on Map using MapQuest.
Editable Hot buttons.
OS X Toolbar.
Easy switching between favourite DX-Clusters.
Link to TRLOG via serial port.

What's New:
Fixed crash when opening preferences on Macs with no serial ports available.
