GM4RIV The Wigtownshire Amateur Radio Club

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)

Several of our members had used this program and had given excellent feed back regarding ease of use and versatility, so it was decided that the club should adopt this software for all shack, contest and competition uses.

It has proven to be a very popular choice with a large number of our members, most of who have started to use it in their own shacks. The logging form is easy to use and if the PC is connected to the Internet the software will look up the call sign entered on the log form and automatically fill in the details of the station plus the band, frequency, date and time of the contact. It will also send an e-QSL card if the you have an account with e-QSL, all this can be set up quite easily. And as mentioned above it will interface with most popular HF radios as well as giving you rotator control if required.
