I can't imagine how HRD can support every single variation of these rigs! God bless their support.It has to be a nightmare! Sold all my ham equipment a few years back (I did not want to!), anyway, back into Ham radio again, and one of the first items to purchase is HRD. If only it was the software, than one can argue about the price (I guess), but with the support, it is a steal.Nearly every Ham operator will need support when installing the HRD, as each rig is different Their support, is outstanding, even though my problem had nothing to do with HRD, their team still supported my problem.For a $100 I got my monies worth! This program is dynamic and flexible, however, requires plenty of support. There are so many various radios, which require zillions of combinations configuration and unique setups. Who will support answering all these questions from the Ham operators?.Well of course HRD Team.And for a 100 dollars it is worth it.Ībout the program itself. What more can you ask for!(Super support and great product)! This program contains most of the variations of digital modes, remote control for the rig, control of rotor, and logging program. I was having the same issue as N4EEB logging program slowing down and freezing up. I became frustrated enough to want to transition to another logging program. I contacted HRD via their website asking for help creating an adif file of the log. He promised to get the program working, or else. Remember, Mike is currently living in Australia. We scheduled a repair time using Team Viewer. The problem turns out not to be HRD code but with accessing MS Access. We spent an hour together, mostly just chatting. The repair was implemented within the first 15 minutes. I have been running HRD controlling WSJT-X for the last couple of hours, a serious problem in the past. Absolutely no issues at all using at least four different bands, turning the system off and on, etc. I've made over 40 QSOs today so far and uploaded/downloaded the data to LOTW. I consider this excellent support from HRD. It's the ONE tool that's made ham radio easier for me! No more plans on moving off this platform. Like many others, I was hesitant about "paying" such a premium price for this software.
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. First, the software itself has just been phenomenal. More than you'll probably ever need honestly. The logging software is great - and while not as simple as N3FJP - it is still my favorite. HAM RADIO DELUXE 5.24.38 BANDSCOPE SOFTWARE HRD rig control also functions flawlessly with my Yaesu FT991A, as it did with my IC7300. The rig control basically controls every aspect of your radio from the PC, and when working a contest, is a Godsend. I also want to touch on HRD DM780 for a second, or "DigitalMaster" as it's aptly named.
