    • Worth every cent.
      I've used HRD for several years now and I found it to be a one-stop
      software suite for my purposes. It controls both radios, antenna and
      has excellent logging. I have recommended it to several hams and they
      all agree with my evaluation. Software is quickly updated with new
      features. Tech support is responsive and vey helpful.

    • Ham Radio Deluxe w/Support Purchase
      Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) provides software control of my YAESU FT-450D HF Radio. I have asked HRD Software Support to help with clearing an incorrect setting in the HRD License Manager. Digital Master 780 and Logbook are used every Start up.
      My primary interest is DX with WSJT-X modes using FT-8. I use HRD Digital Master 780 to communicate digitally CW (SSB), RTTY 45 (AFSK), BPSK-31, BPSK-63, and MFSK-16 modes during ARRL/Field Day, Winter/Field Day, and other Tests. Additionally, I listen to daily ARRL Bulletins modes to discover conditions for DX QSOs. I also use an external modem to Key and Communicate - Microphone (USB Audio CODEC / Speakers (USB Audio COEDC) allowing control over TX/RX Audio Levels to prevent over modulation (splatter) and distortion.

    • My main rig control software
      I have had HRD for many years and realized how powerful it really was not only for Rig Control, but also for Satellite Communications and lots of Digital Modes. The DM780 section for Digital is constantly being updated to keep up with the latest Rigs!
      I also use HRD to interface with 3rd party digital software...(WSJT-X) again...no problems all my contacts are logged into the HRD logbook!

    • HRD, A quality product
      i have been using using HRD for many years going back to when it was free. I have been using the paid version(s)
      for several years now and have watched it evolve into a great asset for Amateur Radio Operators.
      I recently had a major issue with HRD in which i sent off several Tech Support requests that i got several suggestions
      to try, unfortunately none of them work. I got a call from an HRD tech who logged into my computer with my permission and he immediately found several issues in the program, he corrected them and since then HRD has been running flawlessly.
      Outstanding Tech Support.

      I believe the most complete SW there is for radio amateurs, I had some problems with the log program, I hope the current dBase will soon be abandoned to switch to a safer and more performing one.

    • HRD essential here
      The deep menu functions on my Yaesu FT-950 are significant. The parameter adjustments are difficult to reach by the radio's menu keys. Fortunately, HRD rig control allows me to easily set up an array of sliders for those parameters. Functions such as noise blank levels, power output, digital noise reduction can quickly be trimmed.

      The logbook application provides all of the necessary features for record keeping and access to LOTW as well as contest format reporting.

      Digital Master provides excellent operation of the digital modes through my stations sound card interface.

      Best of all, upgrades are provided consistently after the initial purchase via HRD's download. Buying the support is a no-brainer.

    • An up-to-date product from an outstanding team
      I have been using HRD software since 2013. Over the years, the improvements have kept pace with the state of amateur radio in both direct ways (including support for new radios and modes) as well as indirect (improvement in logging, use of electronic QSO verification sites, etc.). In the past few years, communication from the owners has increased to include periodic updates about new features and enhancements as well as future plans. I don't know of any other company in the amateur radio world that does that.
      Another big plus of HRD is that it has so many users that third parties build their products to be compatibility with HRD. I can run WSJT-X under HRD to interface with HRD Logbook. If I am contesting, there is a bridge that allows me to use HRD suite of products (logbook and digital master) with W3FJP contest logging software.

    • I have been using HRD since 2007 and love it.
      First, I never thought I would be using the log as much as I do. I have over 4000 QSOs in my HRD log. I initially used DM780 extensively with PSK31. I got my DXCC with over have of the counties reached via PSK31.

      Probably the one item that convinced me to renew support every year is the fantastic support that HRD supplies. If anything goes wrong on my system they are right on top of it, no matter how simple the issue is. Over the years they have kept expanding the features and many of them I don't use. Only in the last months I have gotten into mode dealing with Satellites. It is fantastic.

      There are many other features that I don't use. For instance I don't have a beam antenna, yet I was able to get my DXCC with a vertical and OCF dipole. It's the fact that HRD enables me to work many different modes successfully and log them and simply add them to ARRL's Log Book of the World.

      I love the system and highly recommend it.

    • customer support great
      While HRD is a big, complex program, and as a casual user, I get messed up now and then, but they have always been excellent to hold my hand through the dumb things I generally do. They have personally shown me a couple of tricks and things that I was doing the long, hard way.
      On the slightly negative side, they can be a little slow to return calls. They always do, but, come on, this is a small company with customers world wide, therefore they may call them any time at all. It is always 5:00 some place where they are running HRD on the air.

    • For Digital Mode Operations - Easy, Fast - Lots of FUN
      I tried other products and found that HRD DM-780 is easy to download and get on the air.
      I now switch bands, modes and tune up in under 1 minute.
      Lots of digital modes. Mores than I can name here.
      Thousand of contacts made.
      Logging a QSO is easy as 1 click.

      All of my digital awards certificates are displayed on my QRZ page.

      Customer support is OUTSTANDING!!!
      Friendly, courteous, explains everything, very helpful, on the few occasions I have called.

      In my opinion, the best value for your dollar to get on the air with digital modes.

    • The control software to use.
      I had an issue installing an update. Unfortunately I don't remember who helped me but we got connected and within less time it takes to reboot my computer he had my problem solved. It had to do with a registry entry. He knew right where to look. I'm a techie myself so what he did was perfectly suitable to let the latest version function. Great background on the product. Excellent support in answering my questions. He pointed out a few new features as well.

    • Over a Decade Later I'm Still Using HRD
      The truth is HRD is better than ever thanks to PIE and his colleagues. I loved the shareware version, but am very glad I upgraded to the commercial software when that came out. It serves my needs perfectly within its capabilities. It is not and never will be a contest logger, I know that, but I've got N1MM for contests; for everything else HRD is all I need. That said, like anything, it is not perfect. The much awaited band scope for the Icoms turned out to be a huge bust. That could be (much) improved and should be. The program is beginning to look a little old as well. And there are other things that need to be brought up to date. OTOH, the labeling is finally working perfectly for me. Also, it's been a long, long time since I've had any crashes or other misbehavior. Bottom line, there's plenty of newer software out there...but none of that has turned my head. I'm sticking with good, old Ham Radio Deluxe!

    • Easy - Fast - Fun Way to Play on Digital Modes
      Changed over to HRD with DM-780 after having problems with other digital programs. No extra cables, no extra virtual ports, nothing else needed and I am on RTTY, PSK, FT8, FT4, Contestia and a host of other digital modes, all with just a couple of mouse clicks.

      Full Rig Control from the software is outstanding.

      Logging and uploading to LoTW, QRZ or others with just a click, could not be easier.
      How many awards do you have?

      It can't get easier than this.

      Support team is 100 % USDA GREAT!
      So much bad advice on You Tube. Yes, some of the stuff works the way a YouTuber shows you.
      But there excess, no need for the extra cables they say you need, etc.

      The tech support team will optimize your setup in minutes.
      They very helpful and as we say in Boston, Wicked Smaaarrt.

      I highly recommend HRD with DM-780 to everyone.

    • Ham Radio Deluxe - What Else?
      I have lost track of how many happy years I have been a user of Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) It was provided initially by Simon G3ELi whilst living in Switzerland and it was but a few year later taken over by the team in the USA. Over the years, even though no longer free, it has been my number one for radio. Yes I have had minor problems but a quick contact with the HRD team has provided the solution either direct or by a later update. I could not survive without the logbook which links with many other radio bits and could not be bettered.

      My main interest is digital modes where it excels, especially accepting add-ons, but happily accepts CW, SSB records and linden with qrz.com keeps a total record of the QSO which I upload to LoTW on a daily basis.

      The small number of times `I have been in contact with HRD Admin and Techy I have been 100% happy with their support.
      Long may they continue, well worth the money and I would be lost without HRD.

    • the best complete package for ham radio
      There are so many great features in one program. You do not have to use all functions, but can just use the one or those that are just necessary for what you are currently doing, eg logbook and rotor for FT8. Or one can use all the features when driving satellite traffic. Automatically uploading logs to other online logbooks is another huge benefit, and keeping track of what is verified or unconfirmed in the logbook is so easy and straightforward. Printing labels for paper QSL cards is another good thing.
      Personally, I thought that one can keep finding new things that the program can, or new way of using things.
      So all in all a great tool for radio amateurs ---------

    • Good investment for radio
      It is a very complete software that I use not too often for digital modes like the PSK31 and SSTV when there is propagation. Now I am trying to find out how the satellite mode works.



      There are fewer and fewer OMs doing RTTY or PSK, more FT8 or FT4.

      For my part, it is a fashion that does not attract me. I prefer to discuss by keyboard interposed in PSK.
      The software is very complex and I do not master everything, especially as my English is average. I don't understand everything and it takes a lot of fumbling to figure out how it works.
      The software is connected to my radio directly by the USB cable and it works fine. Too bad the user manual does not have an option in French.
      Otherwise I'm happy with my investment in purchasing HRD and when I use it it responds present.
      Good job from your development team. Thank you for what you are giving us. Keep going.

    • HRD Works pretty good
      I have been using HRD for over 10+ years. I wish the Logbook could be customized to allow how each field is arranged which would make data entry easier. For example I would like to enter Callsign, then tab to RST, then tab to Name, then tab to QTH, and finally tab to Comments section. It takes too long to tab to each of these key data points.

      I've used Ham Radio Deluxe Software for many years. I use it every day. It's a great product that promotes our hobby.
      As for Support, I've only had a couple of support tickets and they were handled very quickly.
      These were due to my system issues not an HRD problem.
      Great support staff. I appreciate their patience with someone who is not so computer savvy.
      The HRD Logbook works great as well as the HRD Rotator control.
      I'm sure there are other features I have not discovered yet.

      I have used 4 different logging programs and HRD is by far the best. The customer service is incredible and fast. I had an issue on a major holiday and someone fixed the issue within 30mins. The digital programs all work well, lotw, Eqsl are very easy. I cannot say enough. I have used the program since 2010 and have seen great changes to make it user friendly. Most of the people i know in my area are now all using HRD and love it.

    • HRD is my shack runner
      I have been an HRD user since 2014. It has advanced quite a bit over the years and is constantly being improved. This software not only controls my rigs, provides many digital modes in DM780, but is also a great logbook. It can use either flat ACCESS files or SQL, parses data quickly, and has the ability to automatically upload all of your contacts to the many online loggers such as ClubLog and QRZ (LOTW is a manual process). Once configured, HRD logbook makes QSLing easy. Support has always been tricky in this industry/hobby where you have a huge group of users with an insanely huge hardware base and it can be daunting to have to deal with that on a regular basis. When nobody wants to read the manual before turning in a trouble ticket, I can see how frustrating it might become. I have been doing IT support for over 30 years, I get it. That being said, support has not been it's strong point. There is a huge user base and many forums to get help from elmers which is where I recommend anyone start when having issues. Above all, this is the best all in one package for Amateur Radio Operators and is a must have in your shack.

    • HRD is all you need.
      Starting as a radio amateur is not easy for newcomers. But with HRD you cover up to 90% of all modulations available in the amateur radio world. Everything from CW to digimodes. Logging program with award control. Contest program. I have been with this program since Simon developed it and have lived with all the bugs it has had, but ever since it became a paid program I have probably renewed my subscription so I always have the latest version. Seeing how the program has evolved and been perfected is impressive. There are many who think you HAVE to pay a license every year, but that's wrong. If you have paid for HRD you can use it without restrictions for as long as you want. But I am happy to pay for the program to evolve even more. The modes that HRD does not support, they make sure that they can import the QSOs from that software so that they also appear in your award and logging section. I can definitely recommend HRD to everyone.

    • Great software and technical support
      HRD's software is excellent. So it it's technical support. If there is any problem at all, it's that when problems due develop, and no software is perfect, it often takes tech support to work it out. But they do -- tech support has been great.

    • Upgraded to include ICOM 705
      I purchased the annual update so I could use HRD with my new Icom 705 as the old version did not have that radio.  While I could have made it work using the 7300 profile, I decided to go ahead and pay for the support for the next year.  The program does a nice job of controlling the 705 along with the Kenwood TS890.  Using the satellite program, I am able to use the 705 to listen and track the ISS and other amateur satellites.   The doppler control works as good on the 705 ad it does on the 9700  A good overall program that over the years has been improved and support has always been excellent.   Keep up the excellent programming. 73

    • A few notes about HRD
      Ham Radio Deluxe is a very complete software to control almost all functions of your radio. It evolved from early free versions, to become a feature-packed, fully fledged radio control software. In spite of using it every day, though, I feel I have only scratched the surface of it and there are plenty of functions I will continue to discover day by day.

      One possible difficulty with HRD is exactly its complexity: being so configurable, an inexpert user may feel lost amid all the possibilities offered - at least this is what happened to me. Also, I have the feeling that the programs making up the suite have evolved incrementally, to the point that the whole lacks a sense of unity. Is it maybe time to review the GUI so that the user feels more in control ?

      A few isolated things I'd like you to improve on:

      - When a new QSO is added, I have to start entering the call sign, and only then the time: if I start with the time then the call sign, the software automatically defaults to the current time. In this period for a number of reasons I can't connect the radio to the computer so sometimes I record my QSOs on a paper notebook and enter them several minutes after they happened, and I have to remember the correct sequence. It would be nicer if the time did not change no matter when it is entered.

      - Searching a call sign among those in the database is sometimes difficult. A "find" function would be nice (if it already exists I was not able to find it...).

      - Finally, I really think it is about time to move away from Microsoft Access and use some more capable database...

      Thanks for your efforts to improve HRD !

    • Great Amateur Software
      I have used Ham Radio Deluxe since the early days and have been through many iterations. The new version is the best and only needs a couple of tweaks. I am a very basic user, not using rig control, rotor control, satellite tracking, etc. I use it 100% for logging and originally for RTTY, then some PSK31 and have sampled Slo-Scan TV and did a few CW contests using the CW function. Every function I've ever used has worked flawlessly. The HRD Logbook is one of the most "fluent" logging programs I've seen, interfaces well with DM780, and has been constantly upgraded for eQSL and LoTW. In the newest upgrade, though, the "Filter" portion of the logbook has been changed with the added "Apply" button. In my opinion that has turned the callsign search into a useless function. The old version was interactive at all times. Example: If one entered "2Z0" in "Callsign" it automatically brought up all the calls beginning with "2Z0". When finished, simply deleting the "2Z0" would go back to the full logbook. The new version requires entering the "2Z0", clicking "Apply", then perusing the list. When finished, you must delete the "2Z0", unclick the checkmark in the "Callsign" box, reclick "Apply" to bring back the full logbook. When actively working stations, it is very cumbersome. This is a very small detraction and most likely the majority of users do not use the search function as often as I do. Overall, this is an excellent program and I'm not aware of anything available to compete with it.

    • Excellent Software and support
        This software makes amateur radio much easier.  Controlling your radio and providing digital tools is a big help.  This software has many features for all parts of HAM radio.  

      The support is great with frequent updates.  I have not encountered any issue resulting from a new software update.

    • Still the best!
      I have been a HRD subscriber since the program was first made available by Simon HB9DRV. Over the years I have taken advantage of several other programs 'trial' offers. In every case I find HRD works best for me as it integrates all my operational needs into one package. The one clear advantage I see over other programs is the ongoing improvements and commitment to following up and correcting problems identified by the user community. HRD also interfaces well with my Elecraft station, Navigator interface and programs like MMTTY and WSJT-X . Recent updates also allow for quick and easy printing of multiple QSO report labels for QSL cards. It still the best program for me.

      Guys, I can’t say enough good things about HRD.  I hear some negative comments about the maintenance agreement being too expensive but the fact is they don’t realize how much work it takes to keep the software up with the new rigs coming out plus adding new features and offering great support.  Keep up the good work.

When I have time I will contact Support about how to setup a SQL data base I forgot how to do it LOL. Guy's keep up the great work.

    • Well worth the investment!
      There's nothing I can write about HRD that hasn't been said already however from a very amateur amateur it's worth every penny!
      Although the need for keeping a written log has long since been not a requirement in the UK I still like to keep a note of my contacts and having tried a few of the alternatives on offer I believe that HRD is simply best value for money.
      If you add up all it's on-board features plus the live support, should it be required, it's a no brainer!

    • Excellence in Radio Communications.......HRD
      Ham Operators who have not signed on to HRD are doing them self a great disservice.
      HRD is a well rounded highly tuned app that will excell your Ham operations.
      In 2014 I signed up with HRD started my DXCC quest to date I have 301 entity's
      This all due to the design of HRD operations.

      I really like your product. My computer took a dump several months back. I had to reload HRD and WSJT-x. I had to reinstall Windows 10. It was supposed to save the original files but Since it was a hard drive problem I think I lost some files. I had to download my logbook from LOTW. I would be nice if there was a recovery feature whereby previous logs/files could be retrieved from an alternate source. I did di it, it did work but it was not fun.

    • HRD and DM780 are great tools!
      I use Ham Radio DeLuxe and also the companion DM-780 for CW activities. When using DM-780 I usually also use Winkeyer USB, which was designed by the Engineer for use with DM-780 by the engineer who developed WK USB. There was a steep learning curve, but I've found that the hobby is all the more enjoyable when we learn from applying it. Once configured the way I wanted it, HRD and DM-780 are rock-solid performers.

    • Quality Product
      I chose HRD years ago as my rig control/logging program after reviewing every Windows-based program on the market. I consider it to be the 800 lb gorilla when it comes when it comes to the competition. It has worked very well for me and I've yet to find another program to get my attention. I've only needed support a couple of times over the years. HRD was quick to effectively respond. I am NOT an HRD fanboy. If I find something better, I will jump ship...but I haven't.

    • Excellent Product and Outstanding Customer Service
      I am a long time user of HRD and have enjoyed using a one source product for my logging, digital modes, CW decoder, DX cluster, and more. As I am getting older, my hear loss has given me issues while operating in the CW mode. I enjoy CW as I have used that mode as my main interest for over 50 years. The CW decoder or reader is a blessing to help fill in what I miss during a chat or QSO.


      A few weeks back I made a mistake shutting down my computer and thought I had damaged the HRD files. I submitted a request for help and within 12 hours had a full functioning HRD once again. Plus watching the service staff remotely update, clear, correct, and simplify my HRD gave me a free educational class on many of the features of the program that I did not understand how to use. Overall HRD has been my best investment in this hobby and will continue to be a blessing to help me enjoy amateur radio everyday.
      Thank you HRD

    • Don't Miss Out
      HRD suite of integrated applications provide effective CAT control tailored to your radio. I use main app to memorize favorite net frequencies, band plans, etc. Log integrated with QRZ for instant lookup by call sign. Also upload to ARRL LOW. I've used HRD DDE interface to HDSDR for spectrum/waterfall and click to tune control of radio. Also use HRD to control radio when running WSJT-X for FT8. Just upgraded rig to FTdx101MP. It's an impressive tool very reasonable cost. Have not needed support, but you want it to get updates.

      I'm currently moving to a new QTH in Florida, while in my rental I upgraded/extended my HRD.

      I'm very happy with the Satellite Tracking using my IC-9700. I've also have the pass bands plugged into the software and I can't wait to get in my new QTH.
      I've made contacts here at the rental. This last upgrade was a real surprise utilizing the Satellite Tracking. Thanks...73

    • Excellent for rig control
      I use HRD only for rig control. I do not do DX or digital. Hence, much of the program holds no value for me. That is the reason for the reduced value rating. I have been using HRD for many years (early in the Simon days), watching as it grows.




      I would like seeing a simple version that is ONLY for rig control. It is certainly possible - merely divorce the DX and digital routines from the main program. If it is not a modular system, it should be. Thus affording this flexibility.

    • Excellent Ham Software for OMs and Newbies Alike
      HRD is easily installed and configured alike. I have been using it for many years, back to when Simon was still updating the product, and used the free version for some time. It has come a long way since that time thanks to new developers, tech support, and owners/managers. I use it daily, if the radios are on then HRD is on, and it will connect both my FTDX-3000D and my FT-991A simultaneously. There is a bit of learning curve, but good documentation and forums as well as Facebook are all very helpful.

    • Seems to be a good purchase. Not easy to get help learning to use it though.
      I have owned the software for a few years, have never learned to use it very well HRD does not help much, I did get assistance from other owners who were a big help but it did require a lot of time and communicating to get the help, I got discouraged and let it go for some time am now trying again there have been a lot of changes and I am able to communicate using the software and my computer and rig having lots of problems guess I will have to figure it out as good as I can as I can think I will stay with it this time though.

    • HRD
      I've been using HRD for at least 7 years out of my 11 year ham career (if you want to callvit that.
      At first I was intimidated by it but over time it became simple to use.
      I'm mostly a digital operator and I use DM780 for RTTY & PSK modes.
      It was easy to integrate WSJT-X & JTAlert logging into HRD,
      The award tracking makes my life easy, no paper or spreadsheet tracking needed anymore.

    • HRD my thoughts
      Its a great product I have used for about 10 years. I always pay yearly for support as I dont expect to get it for free and its not expensive. My only gripe is the slow logbook which I believe is caused by the use of MS Access - which I understand will be relaced this year (2021), then it will be a 5 star product.

    • Great for digital work
      As someone who enjoys conversational digital work, HRD really shines. I have tried others and they just do not work as well. I use HRD with my Yaesu FT-817 and FT-991 and it interfaces perfectly with each rig, no issues at all. It is very easy to use multiple modes like Olivia, PSK and others...especially when RSID is transmitted with the signal from the other station. HRD tells you what variation is being used and adjusts with a click. Logging is easy, too. And I have to say that HRD support is excellent. I had an issue with my key and their support team got right on it and had it solved within a day (there was a glitch). Overall, a great experience for me.

    • The more I use HRDL the more I like it
      When Ham Radio De Luxe first came out nany years ago I dowloaded it and did not get on with it Over the years I have tried it again until about 3 years ago I realised what a useful program it is and I happily purchased the software I like the log book and its automatic QRZ look up as well as being able send log entries to QRZ and other in line logs. This is great with FT8 as it updates my HRD log and fills in the details from QRZ. You can even print a decent looking paper logbook from HRD I have to rigs controled from HRD IC 7300and IC 7300 both work fine . HRD record qso audio, save favorite frequencies, HRD also has RTTY and many other data modes, it will even send CW. I will not list all the features here but suggest you try it for yourself I am still finding more thing to try . Great software for the shack

    • A capable logging program
      HRD is the only program that i have tested that fullfill most of my needs. I have tested a whole bunch of software but no one as good as HRD! Why do I pay for a program when there are many out there for free? Hmmm yes they are free for a reason! Why do I pay for a HRD support licance? Because first I did not but they helped me anyway! And what of a support! My issue were dealt with within 30minutes and solved without any problems!
      If you look for a free software, there are many out there, but if you look for a software that cover almoast everything and works and most important of all, offer support Quick! then you should consider to make a test installation of HRD and explore it!

    • Happy Enough to Renew My Support Again
      I have been a user of Ham Radio Deluxe for many years, and have always kept my maintenance subscription up to date. The software has made my Ham Radio operation more enjoyable. HRD has done a good job of adding features while still keeping the software basically stable. The ultimate testament is that I renewed my maintenance agreement for one more year!

    • It has pros and cons
      When HRD is working well, it is a great program with my IC7300. Sometimes an update makes things a bit more difficult to iron out. But paying for support has helped in my instance. HRD slowed down and it was decided that MariaDB/MySQL would solve the problem. And so it did. Now fast again.

      I still have not been able to get the QSL software to work with my Brother QL-700 label printer despite trying to follow the instructional video . There are a few small issues I have with HRD logbook, but most of them I can work around or I can live with.

    • Does what it is supposed to do and very well
      I have used HRD for a few years now and it does exactly what it is designed to do. I would like it to work with Software Defined Radios such as SDR Play Duo but gather that this might be added in 2021. The program is not just a Radio operating system. It also has Satellite Tracking c/w Doppler, Data Decoding, a very good Logbook, an excellent Mapping feature and a full Rotator Display system. It really is very good value for money and does what it is designed to do. When I have asked a question, the help came back to me within a day, sometimes within hours.
      It works with most of the popular radios including Flex Radio.
      I can certainly recommend it.

    • There's Gold at the End of the Rainbow
      With patient HRD support staff and some perseverance, I've overcome the learning curve and look forward each day to using my HRD "swiss army knife" for station facilitation. As if Microsoft engineers turned their attention to amateur radio to develop HRD, I am forever bragging about its utility and convenience - from a Ham's perspective. Because of the software's evolution, several subtle menu selections, best user strategy or prerequisite steps are not yet documented, and so the all-important USER MANUAL would benefit from an editorial review - by a non-developer - to fill-in some of the missing explanations, along with a PRINTED Start-Up Guide to help new users overcome the learning curve.

    • VERY GOOD SERVICE SUPPORT for HRD software.

      I have used HRD software for more than a dozen years, i was a beta tester for Simon. I moved 2 1/2 years ago. I packed up my ham radio gear into storage for a year prior. Christmas week (2020), I reloaded the updated version of the software. hooked it up and most of it worked, however the New Yaesu rotor and interface did not want to be friends with the software/computer. The log book was having issues, both of which I could not solve. I contacted HRD service. Shortly Tim Contacted me, I opened my "TeamViewer" and gave him permission to work on the computer. In a reasonable period of time Tim had every one behaving them selves. Tim also answered questions about the WSJT-X software and a choice of interfaces. I am changing from the isolation transformer, direct hook up, that i built and used in the past. He also told me when I install the interface if I have any issues with it to call, and they will help.
      I am quite happy with the service, Thank you

    • Best software available
      HRD has become a classic, a model of how ham software should work, with one caveat, i.e. it is so complex and dynamic that some parts crash from time to time. The parts are the DM780 module and, to a lesser extent, the HRD Rotator. (DM780 crashes can be minimized by having only the Super Sweeper and one other tab open.)

      The logbook seamlessly interacts with other member-programs. It is fast and accurate. One feature that could be enhanced is that the logged QSO could articulate with QRZ or Ham Call to complete the contact's address section. However, the hand-shaking with QRZ, LoTW, eQSL, and other logging services is unparalleled.

      The macro support in DM780 is robust and an alert system offers a convenient way to fetch needed prefixes. The decoding of weak or adjacent signals is especially exquisite, and the extensive customization through the options section is useful.

      That the programs work together so efficiently and effectively is a tribute to the programming skill of the developers. Every update adds features that are as surprising as they are useful. (There could be less delay including new rigs, however. )

      When compared to other software, usually free, it offers evidence that you get what you pay for.

      HRD can be used straight out of the box, but to get the best from it involves a steep learning curve. Fortunately, the documentation is always available for study and problem-solving. Support is unparalleled. I've had responses to problems the same day I report them, and this includes Sundays. Technical support has always "owned" my problems and never belittled me for ignorance.

      Purchase of the software should be considered as an investment just as wise as quality equipment. The logbook alone is worth the price.

      Well I have been using Ham Radio Deluxe for years now, Love this software. I would buy again. I started using HRD back when it used to be free. Then started with the paid versions later on. Still a great product. Use this almost daily, now in conjunction with other programs like WSJT-X for an example. They work together well.

      I appreciate the different aspects to this software which should appeal to many radio amateurs.

      I like to control my rig through this application and enjoy the flexibility and options which are available when using the logbook.

      I have only had this software for about 18 months and still discovering more of the features this product provides.

    • Just a logging software.... think again!
      From a casual operator like my self to an DX Chaser or Contester this software fits the bill. Logging, syncing with QRZ and various online logbooks, DX Cluster, Rig Control, Rotor Control, Digital Modes, CW send & decoding, on and on and on. After configuring your station to work with the software clicking on a contact in the DX Cluster, Rig Control automatically takes you to the band & frequency, pull up the contact log and it finds the coordinates and logging info from QRZ, hit the rotor control and it points your beam into the correct heading automatically, enter any other info about the QSO then hit the log. Automatically syncs to online logbooks (LOTW/eQSL, etc.). Like shooting fish in the barrel :)
      So many other features I have not tried yet and will in the future.

    • Best Package out there!
      HRD is straight up the best package out there! Radio control, logging, Digital, Rotor control, ETC. I started off with HRD when Simon was developing the program. It was in development so it wasn't perfect but the concept and design were great. I searched around but found nothing like HRD. Since Mike(WA9PIE) and the team have taken over development of HRD it just keeps getting better. Updates for better performance and added support for new radios keep HRD growing . Excellent support (Shout out to Tim!) . Give HRD a try and you will like it.

    • The heart in my hobby
      HRD is vital for me keeping track of DXCC and sending my log to Clublog,Lotw,HRDlog,eQSL. With latest release it also support labelprinting in a better way , but more datafields is on my wishlist. Migrating away from access db is a prosess I'm looking forward to happend. In that prosess I wish QSO forwarding from one HRD to another could be done easier. I like HRD and I think it's only getting better.

    • Excellent Software
      I have used HRD since it was "shareware" and the group who purchased the software rights have done an excellent job fixing "bugs" in the original software and constantly upgrading and adding functions. I rarely need to actually touch any of my radios while operating. I use HRD with an Elecraft K3, an Icom Ic-7610, and an Icom IC-9700. There are still a few aspects where improvements could be made - like in the satellite tracking and doppler adjustments and the SSTV integration - but they are, understandably, prioritizing the work based upon requested over-all software functions. Only once have I needed to use their technical service assistance. They were able to find and fix the problem by accessing my computer remotely - painless!

    • A shack accessory I use Daily
      I started using HRD in early 2008. I have lived through lack of support, lack of updates etc, then the company was sold. A new day dawned.  Since the sale it has become a first class piece of software for the Ham community. It is very seldom a week goes by that I do not discover a new feature or way of making my Ham life easier. Just a Great Product.

      I bought this program a year ago and had fun with it before my radio blew. I bought another radio of the same model and renewed the program but for some reason it will not connect to this radio. Don't know if there is a problem with the jack or something else. Hopefully I will time to work on this when I have more time.

There has been a few minor glitches here or there but the Technical Support, I must say, is excellent.

    • Good overall companion HF radio control and log software
      Can be somewhat complex when trying to customize it for personal preferences. DM780 is versatile but very slow to load. I found it difficult to get it working on CW and digital modes, but once I figured it out, it has been good for CW sending, PSK and the many other supported digital modes. The SSTV seems to work well but I only use it for receiving pictures. Support is OK, generally a quick response but solutions are not always provided. YouTube support videos are handy. Documentation seems to lag, making it tough to find out how to do some things or fix goofs such as miss-formatting the log display or adding windows.

    • HRD support
      I've owned HRD for about 5 years, paying for support and upgrades every year. During this time I've seen the program improved steadily with upgrades and the quality and speed of support has improved tremendously. Ham Radio is a hobby; HRD is operated as a quality business. Two of my friends also own HRD and pay for the support and upgrade plan. They are satisfied as well. HRD has a HUGE number of features and supporting all of them must be a nightmare.

    • Works well...
      So far the newest release of HRD has been working quiet well. No issues and integrates well with my TS-570 and TS-590.

      Only items I would change is the Mapping portion. It appears like it has not been updated for a long time and should either be fixed to take city/location from the logbook and plot, or frankly just removed if it does not work.

      Otherwise HRD has always been a good application. Very open source and configurable which also helps given all the things people do with their radios.
