New Ham Radio Deluxe 5.1


I haven't used my HRD for the past several months. I am aware that this new version 5 is available but haven't tried it yet. Once I get the new shack in order and ready for HF I'll have to give it a try. Is this soft ware still free as it was when Simon offered it? Are the new owners charging for access?
 
I just thought I would say a short bit about HRD 5.1. I have tried it out after the update and as far as I can tell is that it offers a bunch of fixes. I haven't seen any new features but I have only looked at it twice. HRD 5.1 is free but it looks as though 6.0 may have a small fee. We will see what happens with that. I realy like HRD and have used it from the start of my ham radio digital operating. I have used other programs (MixW, Digipan, etc.) and I like HRD best. I am looking forward to HRD 6.0.(y)
 
Downloaded it. Tried it. Liked it. But still use the Kenwood software because it still has more reach into this particular model of radio. In particular, the DSP functions. However, it can do some things that the Kenwood software can't do. Thanks for the tip!
 
well, for the RTTY types, it Still sends the 3 CR's at the end of each xmit,:headbang


other than that , it is a great FREE program
 
Well a new twist. I just looked at HRD's site and they are now offering paid support for version 5.1 with a free upgrade for version 6.0 for $59.95. That makes me go Hummm.:thumbdown: It looks as they are definitely going to charge for version 6.0.:eek: If they want $60 for it I'm not sure if I will even though I like it so much. I would pay $25 but not too much more. It is great for being free now but a high price may ruin it.
