Ham Radio Deluxe

Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) is a suite of free Windows programs providing computer control for commonly used transceivers and receivers. HRD also includes mapping, satellite tracking and the digital mode program Digital Master 780 (DM780).

HRD is designed for Windows 2000 or higher (XP, Vista, 7), 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.
FT-950

A new Yaesu FT-950 was purchased from Martin Lynch last week, it has replaced the Elecraft K3 as the main SW radio here in the HB9DRV shack.

As always, many thanks to Chris Taylor for his help with this purchase. Expect much enhanced FT-950 support in February and March 2009.

Installation

Installation is simple, just Download, Install and Start!

HRD is free for Radio Amateurs, Shortwave Listeners (SWLs) and charitable organisations. Use by commercial organisations and government institutions requires a licence from Simon Brown, HB9DRV.

The suggested minimum computer specification Is:

  • HRD: 500MHz CPU, 512MB RAM and 20MB of disk storage.
  • DM780: 1GHz CPU, 1024MB RAM and 50MB storage (or more if using SSTV). DM780 uses more resources than HRD when decoding many signals simultaneously.

Distribution

Kits may be supplied by Amateur Radio manufacturers, dealers and distributors on the condition that the kits are provided free of charge.

Kits may also be copied to other Amateur Radio websites but I recommend that a link to www.ham-radio-deluxe.com is added so that surfers know where to check for latest build information.

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.
