colrdx [options] <host> [port]

At least one argument is needed, which is the host to connect to. The default port is 8000 when no portnumber is used.

Colrdx is a simple client for amateur radio dx-clusters. In a split-screen display you can type commands for the cluster in the bottom part. Messages from the dx-cluster will appear in the main window. There is also a status line at the top with some basic information.

Colrdx needs a callsign in order to be able to login to the cluster.
