This website has serveral programs for the ham radio. However, users are offered a trial period for which they can easily decide on the purchase of a license. You may download fully functional 15-day trial version of MixW and try it for free. Starting from the sixth version, the program has grown into a commercial project and is now paid for. Previously, Ham Radio Deluxe was distributed free of charge, as it was created by an "amateur for amateurs". The program supports the ability to connect simultaneously to up to ten transceivers and saves its own log for each connection. Ham Radio Deluxe already has preset profiles for working with radio models from Ten Tec, Elecraft, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood and other manufacturers. In such cases, you may need additional utilities to debug and diagnose COM ports. They are especially common in older versions of Windows. Free versions of Ham Radio Deluxe were developed for Windows XP and will not run on Windows 10. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine the connection.
To work with the receiver, it must be connected to the COM port beforehand. The Ham Radio Deluxe graphic shell consists of five "standalone" modules: Logbook (Logging), Rig Control (Rotor Control), Rotor Control, Digital Modes (Digital Modes) and Satellite (Satellite Detection). The program assumes the functions of "logging" and transceiver control.
If they don’t, ask them why not and what do they have to lose.Ham Radio Deluxe is an indispensable helper for radio amateurs. 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.
