In my case, I wanted auto logging from my WSJT-X (FT8), through the HRD into the QRZ log. The support from HRD, is really the value add, that most Hams don't know. I hope the developers do not burn themselves out through-they seem to be going at a fast rate and comments are numerous on their Yahoo group. Also, certain spot frequencies (like for PSK31) are noted on the band slider dial. The S-meter and fine tuning is really great.

I cannot believe this is free.the developers deserve an award or rewards! I have my IC706MKIIG sety up for radio control (using a W3GEE CAT) directly into the serial port, and my Rigblaster set up using the USB port (with a USB-serial converter). I wish HRD a massive makeover to redevelop the revolution the original developers had. My advice, as everyone else seems to do: buy a 7300 or '10, and Win4xx to go with it, with ACLog or another. As I have said in other places, I really want to like this again, as I did and reviewed blow in 2004, but its like getting a new PC and being faced with Windows 3.1, still. It is likely I will revisit HRD in 15 years and see if its still the same. Now I get newsletters saying new features are available, and hearing that they only get turned on with a subscription. And the fantastic customer service? I have been referred numerous times to the on-line community from my ticket requests. It seems the emphasis is on making my Logbook into Baseball statistics, like Sabermetics. Its like a time machine, I have really tried to like it as much, but I fail to see any real upgrades. I recently purchased a license thinking I'd move up in the world. So I was one of the earlier users of HRD at really loved it circa 2002-2005. After the driver install, plugging in the cable will create the comport required to use the HRD software.This is an updated review in 2022, my 2004 review is below: There is also an installation manual for the drivers here: īasically you would need to unplug the cable from the 991 to the computer and install the drivers. I think the trial period is only for 30 days you need to get this going soon.ĭid you download and install the Yaesu drivers for the 891? If not you can get it here: No release date has been announced for the next version. Charlie Young - K0LAF Sent: Friday, Febru4:16 PM To: Subject: Re: Ham Radio Delux v5
