Need a software package that does it all? Do you want to take your experience to the next level? Invest in this software right now - you'll be glad you did.Įxtraordinary, exemplary technical service A quick email results in normally same day assistance from people who normally know exactly what's going on and can fix ya right up! Remember when I said HRD does a lot of stuff? That leaves a lot of room for operator error and it's super easy to not have something "checked" or configured just right. Those are just a couple of the nice features of HRD, but you really want to know what's the cat's meow? The technical service! More than once I've needed to contact support - and when I did - they're always there to help with excellent advice and instruction. There's a TON of digital modes that DM780 supports. DM780 will run (easily) most all of the popular digital modes that are out today except for FT8.
I also want to touch on HRD DM780 for a second, or "DigitalMaster" as it's aptly named. The rig control basically controls every aspect of your radio from the PC, and when working a contest, is a Godsend. HRD rig control also functions flawlessly with my Yaesu FT991A, as it did with my IC7300.
The logging software is great - and while not as simple as N3FJP - it is still my favorite. More than you'll probably ever need honestly. First, the software itself has just been phenomenal. Let me tell you though, $99 (sometimes less during a sale) is a bargain for such an integrated software suite that has taken my experience to a whole new level. Like many others, I was hesitant about "paying" such a premium price for this software. If they don’t, ask them why not and what do they have to lose.It's the ONE tool that's made ham radio easier for me! Luckily with HRD, development is continuing with the commercial product.ĭo you use other freeware amateur radio programs? Ask your favorite program authors if they would consider open sourcing their software. I hate to keep sounding like a broken record, but the situation with HRD, and in particular with the 5.x freeware version, illustrates just why freeware is a problematic software model and ultimately a technological dead end for a hobby like amateur radio. Others may host the files for download free of charge. The current owner, W4PC, has stated that the freeware 5.x version will continue to be free, however they will no longer host the files for download and there will be no further development on the 5.x version. After the HRD freeware product was sold by its author, it was converted to a commercial software product.
Ham Radio Deluxe has announced that the final free version of HRD will be removed from their servers September 1, 2013.
