Excellent...and Free!

It took me about five minutes to get the latest version HRD up and running with my new-ish IC-7600. The level of integration that HRD provides for the '7600 is fantastic. A few weeks later, I easily added my WinKeUSB keyer to the mix. Again everything worked just fine. The logging portion of HRD is really nice as well.
HRD runs very well on my Win7Pro 64bit install. I'm running an i7 processor with 6Mb of memory and a Nvidia graphics card with 1Gb of graphics memory.
I'm really impressed with HRD. It is amazing that this set of packages is free. A ton of work went into developing this software.

Good-Bye HRD

I just spent six hours trying to get the transmit feature working on HRD 5.0 Beta. After lots of tries, the program will no longer even connect to run my new IC-7600. The program is full of bugs and is about to begin to cost since developers bought it from Simon. Save your time. Don't fool with this program!

As a long time ham, but recent HF guy, I was looking for something that would work out of the box, and not get in the way of operating, but make it even more fun.
This is a great piece of software. I downloaded one driver, connected the USB cable to the TS-590 and it worked perfectly.
Sure it has lots of crazy configuration options you never will use, but so far, easy for transceiver control, and integrated logging.

I downloaded this software and first tried to use the PSK-31 feature. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to send a macro. Creating and modifying macros was easy much like Digipan and FLdigi. But Sending? Anyway I joined the user group on Yahoo to try and get help. A few members were helpful but others became insulting implying there was something wrong with my intellegence and that it was because I'm not a ham. Well I am a ham I just don't use my callsign online. Anyway, eventually the moderator offered assistance but said wait a few days until he got settled. The next thing I know I'm no longer in the user group. Needless to say I deleted the software and will continue using FLdigi. The people who make this software have control issues - that's the main reason why the software is so difficult to learn IMHO. Passive aggressive hi.

Versions 3 or 4 but never the 5 one

The version 3.4 1254 (up to the version 4.1 2321) is also a real jewel for microwave enthousiast :
- it is really userfriendly to need
- its mapper gives all contacted callsigns (when QTH locator given, and is the best one I'd see), but need also to add concentric circles centered to the own QTH, in order to be fully complete
- but its Top dx50 spotter for every band don't work any more (but it did before middle August 2011), and I don't understand why ? ? ?
- and its transverter function isn't able to manage from the 10 GHz band and up
Now the more recent v50b2893 version is really heavy, disappointing and far too complicated to need - really nothing in common with the precedent V3 and V4 ones - more complicated you die, so I'd immediately uninstall it ! !
My conclusion is, why putting now on the side the userfriendly and real good working Marvels like V3 or V4 ones, by substituting it with now the ugly & too heavy V5 one? If it is only for the pleasure of buiding new softs(like many other), it is really a no sense !
Keep what is easy working and reject all newers

Been using different software and always come back to HRD. It's the easiest to setup and use Hopefully on the next update JT65 will be one of the modes incorporated into this excellent software. I use it exclusively for RTTY, PSK, MT63, Olivia, Hellscheiber, Contestia and others I'm trying out. Thanks for the excellent product Simon.

Thank you Simon for making this program possible. It works great and I love it. Keep up the good work and thanks for getting back to me so fast the day when I had a problem. It was not your program, it was just me and my excuse is that I'm just getting old and I'm sticking to it. hi hi ;o)
