Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) is a suite of Windows programs providing CAT control for commonly used transceivers and receivers. HRD also includes mapping and digital mode software (DM780).

HRD is free for Radio Amateurs, Shortwave Listeners (SWLs) and charitable organisations.

Use by commercial organisations and government institutions requires a licence from:

Postfach 159,

Switzerland.

HRD is designed for Windows 2000 or higher (XP, Vista), also Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher is required. It may work with Windows 98 but this is not supported. The policy is to support Windows versions which are supported by Microsoft.

Installation is simple, just Download, Install and Start! 

   The software will not be ported to other platforms such as Macintosh or Linux, now that Wine is getting close to a 1.0 release please look at running HRD with Wine - see http://winehq.org/ . As a one-man development project I just can't do everything!

The complete source code is not available for porting as it is not in the public domain. Some source code is available; this is shipped in the kits.

Kits may not be sold except where a charge is made for the distribution medium as long as the cost of each CD is not more than 10 euro or $15.

If you are looking for another kind of HRD then maybe this is what you want. Photo taken in Ramsey marketplace.
