MixW stands for a Mixture of different modes. With this release of Version 2.02, MixW now fully supports CW, BPSK31, QPSK31, MFSK, RTTY, FSK31, Packet (HF and VHF), Pactor RX/TX (TX requires TNC), Amtor (Sitor) TX/RX (No TNC needed), Hellschreiber, FAX (RX only), SSTV, THROB, and MT63. Nick is constantly adding new modes and features to MixW, and strives to make it the best and most complete sound card digital mode program available. It now also includes support for multimode TNCs, for Pactor transmit, and for those preferring a hardware-based approach to the other digital modes. Even more modes can be accessed by configuring MixW to call other software packages from within MixW.

Other MixW features include a voice keyer for SSB, FM, and AM phone modes. Excellent logging, sked scheduling and reminding, and even auto CQing of scheduled events through the fully configurable MACROS. There is also a sophisticated contest mode facilitating competitive digital mode contest operation, and an export of the contest log to the newly required Cabrillo format. The log will also import and export CSV and ADIF files. MixW also has support for printing of custom QSL cards or labels. There is also built in DX Cluster support either via Packet Radio or the Internet.
