Works fine but you miss a lot of worthy things on your QRZ page function and get a very limited number of lookups and they are slower. If you have a moderate size or larger log or want to log a lot of calls or a contest or other operation such as a pile of FT8 QSOes then the cheapest but unlimited XML is the way you have to go.

I think to get full usage of DXLabs and likely other logging software (YOU MEAN SUCH A THING EXISTS !!) you really need the XML functions.

You can get the XML Lookup service alone for $35.95 but the next level at $45.95 is worth the extra 10.
Dxlab works just fine without having a qrz subscription. There is also a xml subscription that you can get for less then what Gil said.

I read your post about inflation. I have never subscribed to QRZ, so I had no idea it was that costly. I am curious though, you said "No choice but to subscribe though." Am I missing something by NOT subscribing?

Thanks, 73, and you can often find me on CW at less than 30 WPM if you want some on-air practice.

XML is a requirement for reasonable usage of DXLABAS and I have to PRAISE Dave for this program. How he does a LOT more than QRZ and much better support is beyond my comprehension but THAKS DAVE.
