Ham radio delux v.5.24.38.1/20/2024 In short, how do I use it: I am a remote user. I am excited about the announced roadmap for HRD in the future and think that through subscriptions you can provide inputs to that future. But in my thorough study and use of ha radio control and logging systems over 25 years, this best fits me, a moderate to serious operator not exclusive to contests, with a fair degree of automation, and by no means a world-class station, "middle of the road". I realize other experienced users of logging programs have there favorites. HRD invests a lot as a small business to provide a service, as well as going to hamfests and an infrastructure to support. I do not use the Rotar control but hope to in the near future, and do not use the satellite functions although I did year's ago and it worked well. Radio control is so easy I won't mention it here. Integration with WSJT-X and GridTracker is so easy, just watch the video. HRD Logbook is the best for that audio can customize that. Eventfully if you are interested you begin to want those statistics to chase grids, prefixes, states, counties, countries, per mode, band, etc. IF you connect your radio to a home computer and have interests in radio control and logging for the purposes of QSLs, and will run a mixture of modes, just buy this. If you are a very casual operator and usually mobile with no interests in logging or QSLs, HRD is likely not for you. BUT what I found that if you invest some time in HRD its likely the best thing out there depending on what you want. I did an extensive survey of most control and logging software after my last somewhat scathing review. Just get it, buy it for a year, commit to learning and using HRD and see. In Auto Mode, Directly entering each contact as made, its perfect it makes it so easy that I can't imagine anything better. My only solution has been to set the PC to the Date/time of the Pileup and the Radio to the Freq and leave it in Tracking mode. If I turn off the Tracking it always resets the Freq, the Time and Date after each entry is put in. My only gripe is I have never found a method to make it stay on a set Freq/Time/Date when Manually entering info from a Hand Logged pileup. Overall it is still 100% better than using some old piece of Win95 Software with an antiqued Interface and has a whole bunch of separate modules that I have to get working and troubleshoot.įantastic piece of software, does so much that I just had to Donate. There should be a Connect Button so that users don't have to wait 40 seconds for a Restart. The only annoying bug I have found is that there is no way to reconnect the Logbook to the Radio unless I select the Restart option. It works but is has just a bit too much stuff in your face. There are few things that I wish they would change, like the whole Interface for the Digital modes. Nothing was wrong with the previous versions but I wanted to have access to all the new features that came out. I bought the Newer Version and have since paid for two updates to keep it current. I have been using this Software for a about a Decade.
