The Best Gets Better
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Well Simon has gone and done it again I have downloaded Ver 5 of HRD and I am just in awe of the HRD team. They have made the Logbook a stand alone program and it's the best and best of all it's free.I have been using HRD for over 3 years now and I find it very user friendly.
If you want a great program this is it.

Stable, Powerful, User-Friendly
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I have been using Ham Radio Deluxe 4.0 and DM780 for over a year and have been quite pleased and satisfied.
Ham Radio Deluxe 5.0 is indeed a quantum leap in technology across the board with regard to its vast feature-set, ranging from: Logbook, Rotor Control, Digital Modes, DX Cluster and a global wish-list from fellow hams and HRD users that Simon as developer, pays keen attention to.
HRD 5.0 is Powerful, User-Friendly, Highly-Configurable and Most Stable as a mature solution. Even more, Simon is most responsive to questions, comments and suggestions and there's a lot of suggestions, pointers and advice from the Global Ham Radio Deluxe Forum.
I extend Simon and the HRD Team my greatest respect and appreciation for another True Masterpiece in Ham Radio Deluxe 5.0.

I was more than pleased with the earlier versions, but the latest V5 is just the icing on the cake.
Thanks to Simon & Co.

RIP for other programs

I can make this real simple.
Version 5 of this program spells the end of all other (non-contesting) packages.
If you're not using it now, you will eventually.

I'm an HRD Fanboi
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
Okay, I've called other folks Fanboiz for their "rah-rah" treatment of other programs. It is only fair that I admit to being an HRD Fanboi.
Love the program, love the integrated packet program, DM780, love the logbook. Could wish for more contest templates for the logbook, but I can live with that.
Simon listens to his users and is an active ham. When I complained I couldn't turn on my Kenwood TS2000 from HRD, *Simon listened and added the functionality.* You can't beat that with a stick!
It just keeps getting better!

Top Shelf Logging Program
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Just a note to say I really enjoy this program, after trying several others that I need not mention.
Among the attributes of this logging program are it is well thought out, easy to maneuver, it has a really nice appearance, and it’s *fun* to use.
Not to mention that downloading, installing and getting the program running is easy and straight forward.
After trying several others, only to wind up uninstalling them, I highly recommend this program. The creators of this program offer this great software for free of charge. My hat goes off to them for a great effort.

Does a good job

I wont rate the logbook based on HRD's other features (It is a great rig control though).
It is difficult to get it to work as a contest logger, but... I still use it like that when necessary.
You can easily change which database you want to use to log in. So I have a blank .MDB Access Database file I can copy with a new name and then point the logger to it for use. That way for example, my Field Day contacts are not "mixed up" into my regular QSO contacts.
Since it is an Access Database, Ive been able to easily write an ASP.NET script to parse my logbook. Now I simply update my logbook database file to my website and the web application does the rest. Yes, my logbook is on line!
It does work fine, not perfect- but not too far from perfect. The price is hard to beat!

Great, Free, a tad overloaded, and missing something
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

First of all, I have to say that HRD is a really cool program, and is an outstanding combination of features, at any price. The fact that it is free is icing on the cake!
That being said, I have to give it only a 4 rating, as in my mind it is missing a key feature. As it stands, in order to get a beam heading for a new station entered into the logging window, you must connect to QRZ.com and get a grid square locator. It would be much more functional if HRD simply defaulted to computing the beam heading from the Country list, which has a lat/long for each country.
The use of QRZ.com is cumbersome, and requires an internet connection. What about operating with a laptop from locations without internet? Even with good connection speed (I have cable), it is a slow process.
HRD already computes beam headings using the country file locations in the packet window – why not when logging a new contact?
I’ve asked for this feature as an enhancement request; hopefully they will include it in an upcoming upgrade.
The concept of exporting data to Google Earth is nifty, but also very slow.
