Easy to use and excellent support

I think N4PY has a quality product that he manages and keeps up to date, constantly improving it and expanding it's capability. I wouldn't take anything away from other software and do use other radio control programs like HRD to run my FT-817ND and Callsign to run my R75. However, I found much more utility in N4PY running an Orion II, as it simplified antenna selection (TX and RX), VFO assignment, especially for diversity reception,split mode and the other aspects of running that radio. Another reason to use certain software is the support behind it and again, HRD is fantastic in this as well, but N4PY is also outstanding with Carl who owns it and keeps it up to date. He is always available, answers my dumbest questions in a friendly manner, and has even shifted registrations as I have changed radios, you just need to ask and he is quick to help out.

Cannot Recommend it!

As another poster stated below, there is a much better piece of free software that does 10 times as many things and its' Free! Get Ham Radio Deluxe and save your cash. The major problem with this software is that it does not know if I have changed any of my radios settings when I change them with the Radio. I find it much easier to change frequencies with the Radio rather than using a Mouse, but with N4PY the software's freq dial is not changing with the Radio! Serious limitation! Also some of the features seem to be buggy, it's so hard to tell but something crashes the softare every few minutes, add to that the fact that everytime I run NYPY it sets my radio to some default settings which include Volume at zero I just decideded to chuck it and go back to what works.
Try the free 10 days before buying N4PY

Excellent

I have been using N4PY software since 2001 and my results have been excellent. This program supports several Icom radios and I CURRENTLY use it to support two Icom radios. Support questions or issues are typically handled by Carl in one day.
In fact just recently I asked Carl if it was possible to add Acom 2000A band switching support to his program & in just two days he sent me a Beta that included my requested feature. Understand he is now planning on adding Acom 2000a support to his Icom, Pegasus & Orion versions of his software.
Also registered users can also download his free DX Spots program that works with N4PY Radio control programs. Not only does it have the DX cluster internet connection included in this program is his N4PYLog logging program.
To sum it up my experience with Carl's software has been outstanding in both operation & support.

I have used N4PY computer control programs for Icom and Ten Tec. They work wonderfully. If you have a question with the program just email N4PY and he promptly replys.

Outstanding Control Program
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I have been using the N4PY Control Programs for several years and am very impressed with the them. I use the N4PY Control Program for an ICOM-718 and a Ten Tec Pegasus. Neither program has ever given any trouble. The programs were both quick to load and easy to use. Carl sends updates every few months. I am very impressed with the program support. If I have a question, Carl usually responds within a matter of minutes and that's wonderful support. I highly recommend the N4PY Control Programs they are well designed, updated several times a year and function well.

I have a Icom IC-756Pro and have had Carl's software for about a 1 1/2 years and it works better then any software I know! Easy to set up and use. It is well worth the money that I spent on it. I only use the best there is!

N4PY Software for Icom
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I have used N4PY control software for both my Pro II (now upgraded to IC7800) and TS2000 for over a year. Carl sends periodic updates, and although I am not a heavy user, have had no issues with setup or operation. Steve NU5D

Why pay when there is much better for free

I will make this real short. Ham Radio Deluxe is by far a superior software product in all areas; interface, features, design and programming skill. N4PY can not even recognize when you press a button or make a change on your rig. You must re-initialize the software or it will not know that you made any changes. In other words, it only sends commands but can not recognize when you use your radio to change things.
The only reason that I can think of for someone to buy this software is that they are unaware of Ham Radio Deluxe. The difference between the two is staggering. Just try them both to see what I mean. It is like being able to get MS Word for free but spending money to buy Notepad instead.
