HRD has NO indication where to beam to without knowing the grid locator. To evaluate a logging program, I guess you need a reference. HRD is implemented very nicely and looks great but it lacks functionallity. On top of that, it is only a mediocre piece of software compared to the two others mentionned above.Įarlier 2-star review posted by ON6AB on Like said before, this program blames Microsoft for their own software bugs.Īll other logging software like Logger32, DXlab etc manages to cope with Windows just fine. If you can’t afford $99, not willing to actually read instructions, or have minimal PC/Radio competence, then move on to the “free” stuff and maybe back to CB radio? Is HRD perfect? It is a complex set of integrated software tools which takes some effort to master and appreciate. I gladly paid for the upgrade and annual subscriptions because I have tried the “free” and “low-cost” alternatives and they are not worth spending my time trying to piece together a HRD wannabee system! Previous versions of HRD (5.x or older) are not supported and are doomed with future HW/OS evolutions. IMO they deserve to be compensated for this work. even for 20+ year old rigs running on decade old PCs with ancient operating systems. The new owners (Version 6.x) have made many new and significant improvements, and stability is MUCH improved. I appreciate his work, and the new owners keeping his legacy alive and thriving!. Simon dedicated a large chunk of his life to helping Hams around the world writing/fixing HRD code. I have been successfully using Ham Radio Deluxe for last 6-7 years, and contributed every season to help Simon’s (original HRD developer) efforts to create a wonderful integrated Ham Radio control/logging system.
